Sunset Medical Practice Group

This place doesn’t even deserve one star. I came here with an issue, forked out a couple hundred dollars and nothing. No follow up or information regarding my procedure. Julia Garcia, MD is one of the worst physicians I’ve ever encountered. Not personable and just didn’t seem to care a whole lot about my visit. I will definitely be locating another doctor and establishment. I would not recommend coming here.

I get supreme service at this clinic. Everyone I have interacted with are pleasant and have concern for your well being. I would recommend them to everyone.

I started seeing Dr Barry in 2012, he’s great, my favorite doctor ever. He diagnosed me with an autoimmune disease that other doctors overlooked. I like having everything in one place as far as testing goes, it’s really convenient, but I’ve had some annoying experiences with some of the staff there, being rude and arguing with me. I feel like you have to go in too often, for things that could be done over the phone or via email, which might just be the clinic management trying to get more money out of patients.

What kind of professionals talk bad about their patients? Before my doctor came in I heard whispering from the medical assistant and my doctor outside my door. They were talking poorly about me due to my medical needs, not knowing I heard every word. Also my boyfriend experienced similar behavior while waiting for me in the waiting room. The receptionists would talk poorly as well about people checking in! Other than Dr. Williams and the lab, everybody I’ve encountered here are unpleasant. Every time I leave this clinic I leave angry, and today I’ve had enough. I will never return and I suggest you stay away as well.

Dr. Barry is my G.P. he’s amazing. He actually takes the time to go over my concerns, and options. He actually cares, remembers what has happened in my life, past concerns, etc. Seriously, the best doctor I’ve had and one of the most knowledgeable.

Great office/​staff!
**Dr. Barlow is amazing. He listened, related, & made me feel important. He showed sympathy & concern. He listened…
What a great place. Highly recommended! :)

Well I am a new patient here and can only give a review for the last 2 months of going here. First appointment went ok, the staff looked depressed like they hated their job and didn’t want to be there. This carried over into coming across as not giving a crap about a new patient. They also require new patients to come in fill out everything and wait a month before being «approved». The first doctor visit was a joke, I went in for a physical which consisted of him asking a few questions. Since when are physicals completely verbal? Easy money for the doctor there…
My second visit was to come to the office for a blood draw for a cholesterol panel. I’d like to mention here that at every point of contact between staff, billing, and the doctor I received a verbal confirmation that EVERYTHING completed would be billed as «Routine/​Preventative». After my blood draw and about a week later I received the results which were informative and thorough (The gal who explained the results was very sweet and kind fyi).
Now the fun part, I receive the bill/​statement from my insurance. 3 of 5 blood tests were not billed as Routine/​Preventative in turn costing me. When I called billing, the gal was instantly defensive and said that tests sometimes require new tests to be done and the customer is charged for it. I asked if it is common practice to not check or ask the patient prior to new tests and costs being introduced? She then went on to state that it’s not her problem and not her job to discuss ethics with how the billing is done (with an attitude all over her voice. Maybe that is true but you have one hell of an attitude, which makes you and your company look like crap!
I don’t understand how someone can say «Yes, all tests will be billed as routine/​preventative» and turn around and change your mind and add new tests without checking with the patient and oh by the way you have to pay for these…
Time to find a new doctor…

I did like the facility. Lots of room in the waiting area. Doctor seems genuine and helpful although the medical assistant has messed up my information at the pharmacy I go to, so had to call, wait and call again just to straighten out her mistake. No apologies offered at all.

I really like office. My whole family goes here and we all agree. Just the right amount of preventative care without over medicating everyone.
