Tuolumne Me-Wuk Indian Health Center

I am so happy I was directed to Deborah Goreham, NP! She is one of the best medical professionals I’ve met in my lifetime. She listens. That is beyond important and unfortunately too rare, but Deborah’s listening skills and communication skills deliver excellent ‘bedside manner’ & care for her patients. The whole staff’s great; including the pharmacy. I highly recommend if you’re looking for great care in our area: Twain Harte, Sonora, Mi Wuk, Tuolumne, etc.

This is specifically in regards to their current behavioral health practices, the other branches I have had no issue with. I've been going to this place for about 15 years now saw Dr. Roxas before he quit working here and a year more before he retired. If you asked me then my review would be 5 stars. However now I would give Dr. Vega and her assistant Mindy zero stars if possible. Never in my time having to interact with psychiatrists have I dealt with such blatant disrespect, lack of professionalism, outright lies, and complete indifference for a mental health patient (this is not on regards to myself). The patient whom signed a legal medical release form in order to allow me to not only join in the appointment but speak to the doctors for them, due to being mental unable to for themselves was denied that legal right even when profusely requesting for my presence once Mindy barred me from entering with them. Not only did they both display a severe lack of knowledge for being a "mental health professional" and assistant they both made clear their unwillingness and uncaring for the patients mental health which has been unstable and caused life concerning problems to where they have been hospitalized multiple times due to mental health professionals neglect and arrested in addition. However the patient was told they would not help them as their "level of care" exceded what they claim to provide, regardless of having absolutely no accurate knowledge of their actual needs and to go back to a psychiatrist that has not only (on more than on occasion) misdiagnosed the patient but has claimed they are stable enough without further assistance, which apparently means self harm, committing crimes, and attempting suicide is their version of "stable". The options for mental health in this county are a joke and this was a clear example of how. How is someone ever expected to overcome and illness if they are refused the help they need. A grievance was filed and the lady was not only extremely helpful she was kind and understanding. I worry for people in this county trying to seek mental health these days, its no wonder mental unstabitiy is so misunderstood and untreated. People are DYING for less that being mistreated and refused help. This needs to be address and changed. NOW.

Fantastic staff and care here. Debra Gorman actually cares about me as a person. Not just another "patient". No one likes having to see a doctor. These folks make it more than just bearable. Thank you, thank you!

Have a wonderful doctor at this place
