What patients say

Patients praise

  • Patients have reported positive experiences with individual doctors and clinicians, describing them as tentative and caring despite organizational frustrations
  • Access to a broader network of integrated health resources through the Sutter Health system

Common complaints

  • Billing errors and confusion, particularly surrounding the transition from Sansum Clinic to Sutter Health systems
  • Concerns about high costs for visits and registration
  • Reports of long wait times for appointments and scheduling difficulties
  • General administrative frustrations regarding insurance verification and pre-authorization processes

In patients' words

"My issue is with their billing and scheduling. I had a CT scan that their staff did not verify my health insurance and just assumed that they would not have to do pre authorization. ... Sutter refused to submit this and now we are out thousands of dollars."
