Compare: Oceanic Counseling Group vs Sunset Primary Care: which fits grief & trauma counseling?

What recent reviews say

Sunset Primary Care is a walk-in-friendly practice where patients repeatedly praise physicians like Dr. Scotty and Dr. Jannette Shelley for genuine attention to both physical and mental health. Staff are described as caring and efficient, with patients noting short waits and transparent pricing ($70 same-day visits) that makes quality care accessible without insurance.

One recent complaint alleges disrespectful treatment and discrimination, creating a significant crack in an otherwise unified positive profile. The practice explicitly addresses mental health during routine visits and earned trust through follow-up care, but this isolated serious allegation warrants consideration before booking.

  • listens and takes time with patients
  • clean, well-organized office

Ashley and the team work well for clients who click with them: attentive, practical, and willing to adjust schedules. But the business has a pattern of no-show cancellations without calling ahead and applying charges for missed appointments on second visit, even when context suggested flexibility was warranted. Detail is limited: only seven reviews span three years, with sharp divisions between five-star loyalty and one-star service failures. The profile fits a practice with strong one-on-one skill but inconsistent administrative and boundary-setting practices.
