Industrial Medicine Clinic-Sutter North Medical Foundation

Went in on a Tuesday (12/16/14) after work, very tired. At check-in I was asked if I knew about discount policy for cash customers and said "yes." After finding out what I had & wanting some pain pills and sleep, I forgot to stop at the desk to pay. When I got home I called to see if I could make a payment over the phone. Imagine my surprise to be told that if I could get back before 10:00 pm they would still accept my payment AND let me have the 30% discount as well. How generous in this season of giving!

Contrary to the review from Blake S. - this is the BEST urgent care clinic I have been to, of the two clinics I have had to utilize. I was at Sutter Urgent Care on 8/29/2014 and I had the best care possible! EVERYONE, up to and including the person taking care of admittance, was very professional, kind, and considerate. What I thought was a fractured or broken bone in my foot, turned out to be broken vessels on the top of my foot. My foot was very swollen (I could not wear a shoe) and bruised (the bruised color was due to blood under the skin - not actual bruising). Although the 'wait time' was 1.5 hours, I was immediately taken to a room, via wheelchair, and my foot was x-rayed within 20 minutes. I left the clinic with an ace bandage wrapped around my foot and ankle, and a postoperative 'boot' that I have to wear for 2 to 4 weeks.



Blake S. touts that he is a 'medical professional' (he mentions this twice), however his knowledge of the medical field is questionable. An MD is REQUIRED to be on site when a PA (physician’s assistant) is on site, therefore, if prescription medication is required, the prescription would be written by the MD. Clinics, hospitals, urgent care facilities and doctors cannot provide a person with immediate pain medication upon request, if it is a narcotic. It is against the law. I am not a health care/medical professional, however it does not take a rocket scientist to know that any medication of a narcotic nature (most pain medications), requires a prescription written by an MD - a PA cannot write prescriptions. If Blake S. had a broken leg and broken ankle, common sense would indicate that an MD would write a prescription for pain medication and not just provide Ibuprofen for such a painful injury. Blake S. did not indicate x-rays were taken to verify broken bones, so it may have been his word against…??



I do not have the intent to disparage Blake S. – however, his comments about his injuries and asking for pain medication, but offered only Ibuprofen, raises questions regarding the reason for his visit to the clinic and his injuries.



This urgent care facility has an onsite lab, onsite x-ray, onsite MRI and onsite CT scans. There are 4 doctors and 3 PA's that work at this facility. I was treated by Dr. Anthony Tseng - who was polite, friendly, professional, and took the time to explain my injury, how it may have happened and how to take care of it when I got home. Unquestionable time, patience and instruction from Dr. Tseng.



I would recommend Sutter Urgent Care to anyone seeking immediate medical advice/attention. I rated this facility five stars, however I would have rated it higher if it were possible. Do not hesitate to utilize this facility if/when necessary. Five stars and all A’s!

This is the worst clinic I have ever been too and I have NEVER seen such an unprofessional group of doctors in my life.



I am a medical professional myself and this clinic is the laughing stock of the Yuba City medical community.



Most of the healthcare providers (such as Paul Shank) aren't even doctors, they are Physicians ASSISTANTS, and they they do NOT have the ability to prescribe controlled substances (such as painkillers, sleeping pills, anxiety medication, or anything that requires a DEA license) regardless of what your injury or reason for going in is.



If you go in with a broken leg or severe burns the strongest thing that they have the authority to prescribe is 800mg Ibuprofen which you can get over the counter.



The worst thing about all this is that they won't admit that they do not have the authority to prescribe these medications, they will simply say that you are exhibiting drug-seeking behavior.



I went here with a broken leg and a broken ankle after I crashed my 4-wheeler and after asking for something stronger than Ibuprofen (which I knew wasn't strong enough to even put a dent in the pain as I am a medical professional myself) they wrote that I was seeking drugs, as if a broken leg and ankle aren't painful enough to warrant stronger medication than Ibuprofen.



Basically the only reason to go here is if you have something like a urinary tract infection or the flu or a fever.



If you have a serious injury/illness go to the hospital emergency room where you can see a REAL Physician and not a Physician's Assistant, and a REAL Physician has a DEA license and can prescribe the medication necessary to treat severe injuries like serious burns & broken bones.
