Argyll Medical Group

Stuart is amazing. I once told him, "You are kind of an old lady with your concerns aren't you?" He agreed with me and it was a GOOD thing. He is the only one who caught my wife's heart condition. She would have died otherwise. This is NOT an exaggeration. No other physician cared about her "minor issue" but Stuart made kind of a big deal out of it and saved her life. I went to Stuart and complained about a chest pain. He freaked out (okay, not exactly but he treated it as a major thing) and he sent me for other tests. I had a Pulmonary Embolism. I could easily have died. He put me in the hospital RIGHT NOW and was right to do so. Holy Crap! Stuart will take care of you. He wants to know WHY you have poor test results. He really freaking CARES about you. That's not "normal" these days. He's like the old-time physician who really cares about his patients and will go the extra mile to make sure you get the best possibly care.  I really can't say enough good things about him. My wife and I are soooooooooooooo lucky to have found Stuart to be our health care professional. More...

We have received caring and competent treatment since we started with Argyll since arriving in Chico in 2001. Definitely NOT an assembly line approach to patient care.

Dr Stark was first recommended to me in 2016, and at the time he wasn't taking new patients but made time to see me. Since then he, and everyone at Argyll, have been the most compassionate and thoughtful providers I've had in a long time. I have complex care needs and Julie, Ali and Ed have been amazing. A good doc is hard to find, but a good doc with great staff support is even rarer, and it's really his whole team that helps carry me between visits. I never wait on hold or have to deal with rescheduling issues, I don't wait for an appointment, my meds are always ready, billing is always transparent and correct, and Dr Stark is ready and willing to listen to my concerns and support my health and wellbeing with practical solutions. I'm listened to and cared for with compassion by everyone I've met at Argyll. The office is run efficiently and kindly, and that's rare. Thank you, Dr Stark, and everyone at Argyll. I look forward to developing a relationship with the PA Shirley, who was so welcoming and competent during our initial visit. Thank you. More...

A lot more than I expected based of previous reviews, we are 100% happy w the care here. Laura De La Cruz is awesome !

This review is long overdue, unfortunately. I was lucky to become a patient of Dr. Bishop's years ago and I can unequivocally state that I am still alive right now thanks to him. He is very sharp and listens to what you have to say - and that is saying a lot for me because I have multiple issues to discuss. Unfortunately, my health and care are quickly deteriorating, but that is due to government sanctioned torture of patients, greedy insurance companies, etc. and not the fault of Doctor Bishop one iota. He has been the best PCP I've ever had and I've been dealing with serious health issues for decades now and have been seen by other doctors that don't listen and try to tell you it's "psychosomatic"...... until I was finally, and unfortunately, proven correct by way of diagnosis of incurable conditions. Dr. Bishop's staff, Teresa and Vivian, have also been very helpful and compassionate. My biggest anxiety associated with this practice is Dr. Bishop leaving or retiring. It's definitely NOT easy to find a PCP of this caliber in Chico and nearby surrounding areas, especially in the current healthcare climate. More...

Updated review: Laura saw my comment and personally reached out to me to apologize for what happened. They made it right by refunding my money and retraining their staff on the return policy/guarantee of their products. I appreciate the prompt reply and that they realized what happened was not ok. Thank you Laura and staff for making it right and for personally reaching out to me More...

There's no doubt that VICKIE, A VERY KIND AND CARING, EFFICIENT, SECRETARY, knows exactly what's going on and how things are done,, my mother is 73 and sometimes gets confused when someone scares her or mistreat her she just wants to runaway.

Stewart Mishelof is fantastic. I've seen him multiple times over the last 4+ years and he has always been professional and courteous. A different specialist doctor misdiagnosed a condition and prescribed medication for it. Mr. Mishelof was extremely thorough and turned over every leaf in order to give the proper diagnosis and prescription. He was honest at points he was unfamiliar about and referred me to specialists in those cases. I highly recommend Stewart Mishelof. More...

My father, my daughter and I all see Shirley Huffman PA-C at Argyll Medical Group. We have found her to be extremely competent and with excellent bedside manner.  We never feel rushed and she is very thorough. She is always available for follow up questions and help. I found that filling prescriptions now is no longer a problem.  The front desk staff and medical assistants are very friendly and competent as well. I was actually surprised how comfortable the office is and how little time we have to wait for our appointments. I would definitely recommend Shirley! More...

I'm writing my review based on one visit I had so far with Stuart Mischelof. My entire experience was the best experience I've had at a medical office EVER. His staff were incredibly friendly, and Stuart made me feel like he genuinely cared and listened to me. I did not feel the least bit rushed, and my appointment started right on time. Overall an amazing experience. More...

I adore Dr. Afsari! I hadn't heard much about Argyll except the spotty Yelp! reviews, but I really wanted to establish care and she seems to be the only PCP accepting new patients. So, I scheduled appointments for my husband and I. On arrival, we were greeted sweetly by Dr. Afsari's staff. The secretary was efficient and kind, as was the RN. The paperwork was thorough and all pretty standard. On meeting Dr. Afsari, she greeted us with a genuine smile, handshake, and open ear. My husband and I both did a lot of talking and I really appreciated the fact that she asked to hear more from my husband - evidencing a clear dedication to her patients' concerns. She was open to discussion of a variety of topics and is obviously well educated when discussing her recommendations. I felt we both were completely listened to, not just heard, and she didn't rush us in the slightest. My husband and I both appreciated the fact that she is pleasantly conservative with medications and supportive of alternative therapies like herbal remedies and breath work. Too often I feel like we are rushed and forced into pill popping when finding a simple cause and making basic, healthy changes could be the better fix. Dr. Afsari was fully supportive of a need for more exercise and well-rounded diets, which is another excellent sign of a practitioner who cares about patient HEALTH vs. problem treatment. Though she was conservative with medications, she was responsive and open with diagnostic labs, tests, etc. and seemed to really want to find answers to our concerns. As an RN, I went in hoping she'd order a few things and she did that and more. She also didn't fall short on patient education, which others tend to ignore.Overall, I am thrilled to have met Dr. Afsari and am pleased to call her my primary care provider. It's nice to know my husband's in such good hands. I know when I go for my appointment next month that she will listen to me and work with me, appreciating my insight and adding her expertise. Thanks, Dr. Afsari! More...

I should have written this a long time ago. We've been going here for close to 8 years. I was seeing Dr. Hahn initially. He left and then I became a patient of Stuart Mishelof, PA-C. This man is amazing. There is a reason that Stuart was named Best of Chico health care providers and it's Stuart's warmth and care. His staff is obviously as dedicated as Stuart is. We came to Argyll by looking for a health care provider in the phone book. We got lucky! And we have never regretted it.Long, long ago and in a different life, I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman and so I can still remember (faintly) what good medical care looks like and I see it with Stuart!

Dr. Kong-Siball is my regular M.D. I like her very much. She is very knowledgeable, never rushes me, listens, and really spends time to help me with whatever the problem is. Her staff are very warm, friendly and generally efficient. Everyone strives to make you feel comfortable. The only negative: whenever I have a question when I call, I'm told by reception that  I have to come in. It doesn't matter what the question is - I have to make an appt.   I understand that there are questions that need consultation, but there are some that really don't.  Other than that - I am a fan!Dr Meyer is my endocrinologist. I see some reviews saying that he's rude. He's not warm and fuzzy, but he is very knowledgeable and will do everything possible to find out how he can help! He really is focused on taking the time to solve your problem.  (He does however have an  offbeat sense of humor if you're paying attention.)  He spent considerable time filling out a lot of paperwork so I could get the medication I needed which was very important to me!

They are great! They are efficient. You do not have to wait long to See the doctor. The staff reminds you ahead of time of appointment. Appointments are readily available and made with ease, Dr. Bishop takes to the time to answer all questions. They think of you as a person. not just as a patient or a buck in their pocket.

** I have opted to update my rating based on the practice as a whole & the fact that the provider discussed below is no longer there. Lifting my rating back to my initial impression of Argyll, as a whole. With the situation that prompted me to write the below review- I stand by an initial rating of a 2 (that's being nice) for Dara McKinley, NP**** My rating is not specifically intended for the group as a whole, I have seen a few of the providers at this location and had no issues or qualms until one amazing provider left and another took over his practice- Dara McKinley, NP. Beware!! Her bedside manner is terrible, she was blunt, rude, and not empathetic at the least. One time, she blindly approved an authorization for a refill early on a medication and when I called to let her know that I really needed it filled- my pain levels were higher than usual due to unforseen circumstances- i was also on a very low dosage...her staff went from promising the refill to proceeding to "take back" the Auth and stated I would have to come in for an appointment. Fine...New condition- I can do that- would have been nice to start there instead of it taking my pharmacy to let you know your patient needed a refill a couple days early. The first sign should have been being asked to sign a pain contract for 30 day supply of low dose T3....okay... i will sign it. No biggie. Weird since ive seen you twice and have been on this for months, but okay. I was taken off guard when I came in for my next appointment where I was offered a cup to test my urine. What?! This was a first in my life- ever....that made me feel like she thought I was a drug seeker... totally not the case! At that time, i had chronic neck and shoulder pain causing serious tension headaches and migraines. She made me feel like my symptoms were not real and only in my head. I had been coming to this practice for nearly two years. She made me feel belittled, uneducated, and uncomfortable. Prescribing blood pressure medications to a person that has symptoms due to low blood pressure to try to curb headaches. I understand it can offer relief in some patients- i have read the studies; however, I get low blood pressure...If it can be avoided I have no desire to take medications... I have my MBA and many years of experience in healthcare- I have done my homework, yet i have always been open to trying new routes to improve my health. Prior to seeing her, I had a couple CT scans, EMS tests, Xrays, blood work, physical therapy, went to an endocrinologist and neurologist. While I was seeing her I was going to a massage therapist, chiropractor and acupuncturist to help manage my pain- all of which are not covered by my insurance. Cash practices- I was in no way faking it. The break up--- I received an appt reminder call stating that if I did not call back to confirm that my appt would be cancelled.  So I did not call back and was sent a bill for a no show fee. Prior to receiving the bill, I attempted to remain with an awesome practice and schedule with the Doctor. I left a voicemail stating that I was not comfortable with Dara and would like to see him directly. I didn't recieve a call back. I called to followup and was advised on the phone that Dara had released me from care due to no show appointments and not following her advise. That I would recieve a letter with more details. I never did recieve the letter; however, I am grateful that I have found a provider that does not throw drugs at their patients or speaks to them like they are idiots or slow. My prescriptions are no longer a rotation of try this or try that. Watching what I eat has cut back migraines to maybe 1 every couple months- before I was at 5 a week...I really hope Dr.Stark finds a better NP to work with his patients....As I cannot imagine that I am the only one that left...There are many talented and empathetic physicians here that dont make you feel like cattle being moved in and out of the exam rooms just to get a pay check. That was how I felt...and although time has passed..it still bothers me and I feel others should be aware. In this case, skip the NP and see the Doctor... More...
