Martinez Health Center

I have mixed feelings about this place sometimes, but I still keep coming back. Old habits are hard to break. Staff's good. Facilities too.

I was at there mental hospital, and they are literally there to torture you. They refused to let me take my medicine. They forced me to do a blood draw, and didn't let me have lunch. Don't ever let anyone call the contra Costa crisis line on you. They cannot be trusted

I have to tell this story. I was to to come here for Covid testing before having my surgery. White grey haired lady at the front desk best the emergency entrance was terribly rude to me. To a point where another black man and a nurse recognize the indifferent treated. Her co nurse agree with me saying Im thinking the same thing you are. The lady gave me long silences after I told her what I was there for and tried to hand her my idea. She would take my ID initially and started questioning who I am and who told me to come there. I kept telling her should could look me up. She kept asking me who told me to come to her. I told her I was directed at the entrance and was told to come near the tent for testing and that it would be best to take the test out side. The lady insist i use the in door facility which I was told could be contaminated and if I don't have Covid to test outside. She had smart words to exchange about that. She rudely cut me off and ignore me. Never told me I was at the right place after I asked her and showed me she really didn't want to work with me. I watch her give service completely different to everyone else. Yes I am a black man. She began asking me medical questions . The third question she says out loud DO YOU HAVE ANY WEAPONS ON you. I said I've never been asked that. She says we if you stick around the counter you'll hear me ask it. She talked to me like she was booking me into prison. Of course I'm not a criminal but that's how her service felt.nnSo she takes my temperture and LIES TO ME ABOUT IT. She was being a lil A hole saying I had a 101 temperture. Starts asking me serious of Covid questions and asking if I've had a fever or felt ways. Asking am I sure.nApparently there's a different test you take if your temp is over a 100. I knew Karen was lying and I asked for another temperture reading within 120 seconds it read 99. Temperatures don't drop that fast. Anyway that lady has no people skills she needs to be in the back some where.

It’s so hard to get a hold of someone to make an appointment. I’m trying to call to reschedule my Surgeon appointment that was changed and I can’t get a hold of them. This is very frustrating.

Not a big fan of this hospital. They are not to nice to black folks.
