I
see
Jill
Runas
N.P.
Unlike
many
GP’s,
Jill
always
makes
the
time
to
listen
to
me,
discuss
her
professional
advice
and
tailor
medical
services
to
my
specific
needs
and
desires.
I
leave
her
office
feeling
I
have
a
voice
in
my
medical
care,
my
concerns
are
being
addressed
and
I
am
very
much
a
part
of
my
medical
care
decisions.
I
am
not
being
told/talked
at,
expected
to
follow
directions
without
having
a
say
and
dismissed.
I
recommend
Jill
Runas
to
anyone
who
wants
to
be
an
active
participant
in
their
medical
care.
The
staff
at
this
location
have
always
been
helpful
and
courteous
and
it
is
why
I
switched
to
this
location
from
the
Slauson
location.
Changes
this
year
have
increased
the
volume
of
patients
seen
at
this
location
and
wait
times
for
checking
in
and
to
be
seen
have
increased
as
well.
So
has
the
ability
to
actually
speak
to
someone
on
the
phone
at
this
location.
You
can
no
longer
reach
the
office
by
phone,
the
numbers
were
all
disconnected.
Now
all
calls
are
routed
to
a
call
center.
The
call
center
has
difficulty
reaching
staff
on
site,
nor
do
they
have
ability
to
make
phone
calls
outside
of
their
intra
office
computer
driven
communication.
I’m
other
words
they
can
not
call
patients
back.
At
least
that
is
what
the
phone
representative
told
me.
It
took
a
week
for
a
phone
request
through
the
call
center
for
a
call
back
from
the
doctor
to
go
through.
The
doctor
never
actually
phoned
me,
but
my
request
for
a
Rx
refill
was
honored.
I
believe
the
call
center
to
office
communication
failure
was
due
to
the
call
center’s
office
sole
means
of
communicating
being
through
computer
hosted
calls
(they
no
longer
use
actual
phones).
Needless
to
say
the
changes
are
a
disappointment
for
the
long
standing
patients
who
were
accustomed
to
reach
the
office
directly
and
not
having
to
go
through
a
middle
man
call
center
that’s
inefficient
due
to
infrastructure
changes.
It’s
obvious
services
have
declined
at
this
Altamed
location
due
to
corporate’s
bid
to
generate
more
profit
from
this
location
by
increasing
patient
volume,
increasing
staff
productivity
by
cutting
back
on
patients
ability
to
communicate
affectively
with
onsite
medical
staff
and
office
administration
and
implementing
a
flawed
intra-office
communication
infrastructure.
Prior
to
the
changes
described
above
I
would
have
given
this
location
five
stars.
