I started my search for a new doctor because I was tired of packed waiting rooms and long waits just to see a doctor that seems to have just five minutes to spare per patient. Seeing the doctor shouldn't be such a terrible experience.I began my search by looking at the list of in-network doctors on my health insurance's website and Googling their names. Most of the doctors, as expected, had average to mediocre reviews, but I found a handful who were highly rated. To help narrow down my search, I also looked at the Medical Group Report Card ratings released by the California's Office of the Patient Advocate. St. Joseph Heritage Medical Group rated highly, and since most of the doctors with good reviews were a part of this medical group, I decided to go with them.I did a little more research and ended up choosing Dr. Clark because he's very experienced, was voted "Best Doctor in Garden Grove" in 2011 and 2012, and based on the video available on his doctor profile page (on St. Joseph Heritage Medical Group's website), his philosophy regarding healthcare seems to match mine. I informed my insurance of my wish to switch primary care physicians, and I'm very glad I did.Dr. Clark is without doubt the best doctor I've ever had. He's very kind and caring, and he takes the time to address all my questions. (Since I hadn't seen the doctor for three years, I had several.) He was very thorough, and I feel he spent an appropriate amount of time with me. Unlike my previous doctors, he isn't in a rush to see the next patient. Overall, the wait was short and all my problems were addressed to my satisfaction.In addition, the office is fairly new, and both the bathroom and the exam rooms are very clean. The receptionists are friendly and helpful.Also, St. Joseph Heritage Medical Group has an online health portal so you can contact your doctor via secure messaging, view your medical records, and view your test results among other things. I downloaded the associated app and it was very nice to see a notification on my phone pop up when my blood test results were available. It's great not needing to call back to follow-up on test results when the results are just normal.I tend to have pretty high standards, and Dr. Clark and his staff had exceeded my expectations. For once, I actually enjoyed my visit to the doctor and I definitely will return every year for an annual physical.
