The PA for Dr. Jardula, Paul Herrera Ramirez was terrific. He address my concerns, and made me feel totally at ease. I made the appointment to get a referral to see a Podiatrist, he ordered exrays, and started the ball rolling to resolve my issue.

DOHC is my medical group. They've been good to me. Been with them 24 years.

7/14/2026. Update. Absolutely nothing has changed. The largest impediment to my good health is the Desert Oasis Medical Group.<br><br>I have been a member of this medical group for twenty years, although often I feel more like a hostage. The number of substandard physicians and facilities offered as providers is frightening. You wonder exactly what is required to be dropped by DOHC. This group does not care about your health. DOHC is only involved in the BUSINESS of medicine. If you require the PRACTICE of medicine, move on. I never thought I would ever consider moving, just to find a quality medical group. If are wondering which facility, we can begin with Synovation Medical Group. Anyone in need of a giggle is encouraged to call their customer service line.
