Mendocino Coast Clinics, Inc. 205 South Street, Fort Bragg, CA 95437

"Great customer service. Got me in quickly for testing when I was ill. Also, the dentist, Dr. Ulatowski, is caring and pragmatic."

"Make you wait a loooong time. Then argue with a doctor about blood pressure is high. Stress does this. doctor insists they put you on high blood pressure meds. After two days my blood pressure was so low I could barely move. I tried to tell him but he was too smart for me. Obviously knows more about me than I do about myself. Dangerous attitude. Arrogance runs rampant. Go somewhere else."

"I have been consistently impressed by all of the branches of the coast clinic that my family has used - medical, women's health, pediatrics and dental. All have been efficient, friendly, professional and really helpful and upfront about costs and insurance. Short waits in the waiting room, friendly staff, clean offices. The only reason for the four stars rather than five is that I've had trouble reaching them on the phone and getting call backs, particularly for the dental side. They are super busy so appointments for non urgent things need to be scheduled well in advance but it seems reasonable given how many people they serve. When my partner had a more urgent problem he was able to be seen same day during the walk in clinic but for non urgent things you have to just wait your turn. They provide such valuable services to our community, I'm a really big fan."

"I want to express my gratitude to the caring people at the Clinic. After going to the emergency room at the hospital for some breathing problems, they called me the next day to see how I was doing and to ask if I had any questions that hadn't been answered during my visit. When I said that I did, they had one of the doctors phone me for a lengthy consultation, where she took the time to deal with my concerns, and then to order several follow-up tests that wound up pointing to some serious problems I am now dealing with. If they hadn't followed up the way they had, I doubt I would have made much effort to seek out further medical attention on my own, as I've never been seriously ill, and it just didn't occur to me that I could be now."
