Sunset Primary Care

Sunset Primary Care

4.9(292)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

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.
