Santa Barbara County Public Health: Lompoc Health Care Center

"I been going to LHCC for many yrs and the Doctors are amazingly friendly! Shout out to the Girls in the back offices. Jessica, Letty & patty. All staff are awesome! Thank you!"

"Almost killed me by not informing me I had preeclampsia despite having protein in urine and high blood pressure. Had to have emergency c section due to the neglect. Worst clinic we’ve ever been to."

"I got a call 8 minutes before my appointment letting me know they had to cancel. Mind you I was already in the parking lot heading into the building. I find that to be extremely inconsiderate and unprofessional. I don’t live down the street, I live almost 40 min away. Waste of my time, and my gas. I realize this is the county health center and they must operate differently but that’s pretty sad. If I called 8 min. Before my appointment to cancel I’d be charged a late cancellation fee at a normal dr. Office. Although I did sign paperwork stating they could randomly drug test at any time, and I’m sure it’s probably protocol there. It still makes you feel criminal. I’ve never had to get drug tested at any office prior, especially not for OB care. The staff is friendly though so they do get 3 stars for that."

"If you have any pressing medical issues that need to be addressed sooner than 3 months away- go to Urgent Care or the ER. This place has too few doctors for how many patients they take on. If you wish to talk to a reception staff member who doesn't want to take their frustrations of their job out on you, this is not the place for you. If you want your anxiety, depression, or mental illness to be treated with compassion and understanding- find a new place to go. If you have ever had any prior substance abuse issues including alcohol, don't forget you're always an addict and have no chance of recovery in their eyes. If you have ever wanted to visit a clinic that made you loath yourself, fear for your physical health, and lose even more faith in humanity- they've got you covered."

"Public Health does not equal worse so I don't know why they're so awful. Waited 6 months for an appointment to establish care, appointment day came and they informed me it was canceled because that doctor retired. Waited 3 more months, showed up and was made to leave or reschedule because I didn't have childcare for my 4 year old that was with me. Finally tried to make another one and they have an appointment for 3 months out earliest. Then the medical assistant hung up on me when she probably should have just called her supervisor."
