What Patients Say
Overall sentiment across review platforms: mixed
- Sutter Health Provider Directory: 4.9/5 stars for specific providers (e.g., Dr. Nicholas V Drbal, Dr. James Lai) (hundreds of reviews for individual providers)
Patients praise
- positive interactions with individual doctors who are described as caring and attentive
- high star ratings on provider-specific profiles
Common complaints
- billing and insurance coding issues
- long wait times for appointments and in-office visits
- perceived lack of follow-up or poor communication from staff
- administrative inefficiencies and scheduling difficulties
"If I could leave less than one star I would. This review is not about the Doctors, all that I have seen have been a tentative and caring. My issue is with their billing and scheduling."
— Better Business Bureau (Sutter Health profile)"All of the doctors I have seen here have been great! However, their billing department is terrible. After reading many of the reviews on here, I have come to the conclusion that they purposely code visits a certain way so that the patients are fully financially responsible for the cost of their visit."
