My only complaint is that for the second time in a row the office sent my prescription to the wrong pharmacy.

This was my first visit to the office. I am looking for a new primary doc. Everyone was friendly and professional. Saved lots of time by completing the new patient forms on zocdoc before the appointment. Wait time was reasonable. I didn't actually see the doctor (did get a brief exam from the PA who was very pleasant) but I'm sure I will when I go back next month for a physical. Overall very good experience.

Very courteous and informative regarding my general health, diet and how to improve my total health from blood pressure to weight.
Verified patient
I don't often see Dr. Pinkley himself ? But the other Doctor and the P.A. are first rate , quality people ; as are the staff.
Verified patient
Dr Pinkley is an excellent Dr, However, Your office billing manager needs to work on her knowledge of her job description, also never returns calls. My mother Juanita was in ER on a specific incident and could not get Dr Pinkley's on call to have her admitted because he is not able to to that!!!!! so we have a new Dr.....no complaints now....please evaluate your business and make some so needed changes focus your dollars on training and not so much on your billboard ads.
Verified patient
He tries to make the information he's stating accessible, but sometimes it ends up coming off as obtuse. I still got the service done as necessary based on my budget and time constraints.
Excellent Dr.!
Verified patient
BEWARE OF THIS CLINIC, THEY TREAT YOU LIKE A MONEY BAG AND NOT LIKE A PATIENT! I made an appointment for a yearly check up which is fully covered by my insurance and this doctor is supposedly in-network. They ended up charging me for a different service and I ended up paying everything out my pocket because they refused to run it through my insurance which has an agreed pricing with them. Until today (so 9 months later) they didnt submit my claim to my insurance after several follow up it came out that they submitted my claim with the wrong details
Verified patient
Staff was very nice! I did have to fill out information again that I had already filled out online, but there wasn't too much to do. Surprisingly I didn't have to wait long to see Dr. Garcia. He took the time to listen to my issue and offer a variety of treatments for me to try.
Verified patient
As a new patient they were quick to get me in and check out my wound. Very professional and nice, this will probably become my general doctor.
Pinkley only sees patients every other Saturday of the month. I saw Dr Michael Garcia and previously PA Carol Tran I have been extremely pleased with the office staff and providers. I definitely recommend vital health!
Verified patient
I arrived 5 min prior to my appt. was seen 45 min later then waited another 30 min in the room. But once I was seen the people were quick and got what I needed done fast.
Verified patient
As a new patient I was a little shocked that I was only able to see the PA. The appt was booked with the Dr. I will mostly likely not return to this practice.
I was brought to the back by a new nurse who seemed frustrated with everything she did, murmuring things and sighing exasperatedly. That was a bit awkward, but Dr. Tran is great. She's efficient, listens actively, and really knows what she's doing.
Verified patient
Wonderful and friendly staff, as well a convenient location in my neck of the woods. I appreciated his attention to detail and he talked over every option and concern with me. I did have to wait for a hot minute to be seen but from what I saw I came on a very busy day and am a new patient. I highly recommend his office, based on his amazing beside manner, informative nature, and great staff.
Dr. Pinkley's Office was very professional, and the consulting doctor was very helpful in determining every possibility of my issue.
Verified patient
Dr. Pinkley was thorough and professional and made me feel completely comfortable discussing any personal health issues. I have absolutely no complaints.
I was in and out painlessly.
The entire staff is amazing and helpful. There is practically no waiting time. Dr. Pinkley shows great concern and answers all your questions. He is very thorough and patient. Love them!
Verified patient
I was looking for a doctor with my new insurance and I saw their billboard off 1604. The whole staff was very heartwarming and the atmosphere was very comfortable. I really recommend going here if you're looking for a comfortable and safe trusted doctor.
Verified patient
Really informative and helpful
Horrible. I picked this office due to high reviews on ZocDoc and because I needed to see a doctor regarding a cough I'd had for over a week (wanted to make sure it was nothing contagious for my infant son). Although no other patients were in the office, I waited for almost an hour to be seen. At one point, a front desk employee reminded Dr. Pinkley that I was there. He still took a long time to finish a conversation with a visitor (another doctor or perhaps one of those pharmaceutical reps). I did appreciate him taking time to educate me on possible medical conditions. I come from a family of doctors and hold them and their extensive schooling in high esteem. However, after that, I waited another 30 minutes to do the blood test he recommended and was told I'd get the results the following day. Dr. Pinkley gave me a prescription for an antibiotic in case the blood test determined it was bacterial. Well, it's now been over 2 weeks and I have yet to receive my result. I've called the office multiple times. I still have the cough and now need to go see another doctor for the same thing! (Not to mention more co-pays and time off from work!!) Absolutley ridiculous.
I just found my new primary doctor!! Thank you!!
