I have taken my child to this facility since he was just a newborn and he is now almost nine, as well as i have been seen their for the last 5 years. DEB. GORHAM is the BEST practitioner they could of ever gotten there. Her bedside manner and her communication with her patients is impeccable. She is truly IRREPLACABLE. She cares for her patients as people not just patients. Without her i would not be as stable as i am today. The front desk ladies are always in a good mood and helpful, as well as the pharmacy girls. You go there often enough you walk in and they greet you by name and grab your meds for you. Its really a blessing and I'm glad they have the Sonora office as well, so if I'm in a pinch i can be seen in that office. Their dental clinic is great as well. I cant remember the DR name for the dentist but she and her assistant are GREAT with kids. My kid even likes going to the dentist and how rare is that. =) thank you TMWIHC for providing my family with great care and understanding.

I’d be very Leary about going to their Behavior Health Center when it comes to seeing Doctor Kevin Morse! He just started there! (October 2024) Was my previous Doctor when he had private practice! He lied to me when he closed his private practice and began working at the Me-Wuk Indian Health Center! He told me he checked and he could take me with him there! WRONG! Everything changed! Was seeing him twice a week for 1-1/2 hours to 2 hours! Now he cut me to once a week! I had 55 minutes session! Then he tells me I may need to go to 30 minutes, but he would ask if I could be an exception! For 3-4 weeks I had 55 minute session and then during a session about 25 minutes had passed and he tells me I need to go in a few minutes! Never even discussed with me that I was being cut to 30 minutes! THEN I call their office and was told via receptionist I will be cut to 30 minutes once a month! I texted my Doctor and I was angry and he never reached out to me! I cannot go from seeing him twice a week to 30 minutes a month! Then I get call from his medical assistant saying he wants me to book appointment! I asked ‘Why’ and she said because he cares! So I book appointment and he did not say anything to me! He just let me speak and about 20 minutes later he said he had to go, then replied ‘So I’m discharging you’! I never said I wanted to be discharged” but wanted to work out solution or know more about my sessions which he never bothered to explain to me! All this came down just days before Christmas! He knew I had no outside support and knew (personally) what I was going thru in my
Life! Bottom line HE DIDN'T CARE! He’s a LIAR as he promised me all would be ok for me to continue to be his patient at his new place! So I’m mentioning all this for future people who may be referred to this guy! RUN, don’t walk away from him! He really doesn’t care! If he really did he wouldn’t have let this happen to me! I called the BBH (Biard of. Savior Health) on him! They even said he ABANDONED & BETRAYED me and it was unethical for him to this, let alone right at the Holidays! They also agreed he Lied to me! They are asking me to file a complaint! Just warning you people! Dr.Kevin Morse is a ‘NO’! And lastly when Dr. Morse was in private practice his Secretary who worked there for years warned me that he really didn’t care about his patients! I didn’t believe her! But that remark stayed in my mind and even before this recent occurrence I started seeing his lack of empathy /concern for me! I even brought it up to him on several occasions but he never said anything! As usual! I swear by all I am saying here!~

I am so happy I was directed to Deborah Goreham, NP! She is one of the best medical professionals I’ve met in my lifetime. She listens. That is beyond important and unfortunately too rare, but Deborah’s listening skills and communication skills deliver excellent ‘bedside manner’ & care for her patients. The whole staff’s great; including the pharmacy. I highly recommend if you’re looking for great care in our area: Twain Harte, Sonora, Mi Wuk, Tuolumne, etc.

This is specifically in regards to their current behavioral health practices, the other branches I have had no issue with. I've been going to this place for about 15 years now saw Dr. Roxas before he quit working here and a year more before he retired. If you asked me then my review would be 5 stars. However now I would give Dr. Vega and her assistant Mindy zero stars if possible. Never in my time having to interact with psychiatrists have I dealt with such blatant disrespect, lack of professionalism, outright lies, and complete indifference for a mental health patient (this is not on regards to myself). The patient whom signed a legal medical release form in order to allow me to not only join in the appointment but speak to the doctors for them, due to being mental unable to for themselves was denied that legal right even when profusely requesting for my presence once Mindy barred me from entering with them. Not only did they both display a severe lack of knowledge for being a "mental health professional" and assistant they both made clear their unwillingness and uncaring for the patients mental health which has been unstable and caused life concerning problems to where they have been hospitalized multiple times due to mental health professionals neglect and arrested in addition. However the patient was told they would not help them as their "level of care" exceded what they claim to provide, regardless of having absolutely no accurate knowledge of their actual needs and to go back to a psychiatrist that has not only (on more than on occasion) misdiagnosed the patient but has claimed they are stable enough without further assistance, which apparently means self harm, committing crimes, and attempting suicide is their version of "stable". The options for mental health in this county are a joke and this was a clear example of how. How is someone ever expected to overcome and illness if they are refused the help they need. A grievance was filed and the lady was not only extremely helpful she was kind and understanding. I worry for people in this county trying to seek mental health these days, its no wonder mental unstabitiy is so misunderstood and untreated. People are DYING for less that being mistreated and refused help. This needs to be address and changed. NOW.

Fantastic staff and care here. Debra Gorman actually cares about me as a person. Not just another "patient". No one likes having to see a doctor. These folks make it more than just bearable.
Thank you, thank you!
