Desert Ridge Family Physicians

We've been seeing Dr. Luba for more than 17 years, and we're absolutely thrilled with this practice. Being able to book appointments online and get in within days is seriously awesome. Picture this: when you're feeling under the weather, you don't have to twiddle your thumbs for weeks before seeing the doc. Plus, they offer both in-person and telehealth appointments, which is super convenient. The best part? They're always quick to respond on their portal, usually within a few hours. Our family has some complicated health stuff going on, but Dr. Luba handles it like a champ. She's always ready to connect us with specialists and takes our needs seriously. And let's not forget about Lindsay, their care coordinator – she's top-notch. As a family practice, we can't recommend this place enough. Special shout-out to Nikki B; she's been a godsend for our family. Our kiddo used to freak out about shots and blood work, but Nikki's been so kind, patient, and understanding. She's got this magical way of throwing in just the right amount of humor, and now our kiddo doesn't sweat it at all. Plus, she's a pro at finding veins when others struggle, and my husband didn't even feel his flu shot today. If you're looking for a family doctor who genuinely cares about you and feels like part of the fam, DRFP is the place to be.

Doctors in this practice are not bad although getting a call back is very difficult. The worst part is scheduling: it’s either the same day or next day. But if there is no availability you have to keep calling back. It’s hit or miss and you may never get an appointment as they can always be booked for the same or next day. Also, how is one expected to leave work w/such short notice to make an appointment? Terrible scheduling practices over which, I’m sure, they are or will be losing patients.

I'm the type of person that always have something on schedule, this place is awesome when that's the case because they take you in the same day you need it right on the spot. I cannot at 9am and get in by 2pm. Quick and easy as that. Doctor Patricia is my best, simple and super well knowledge. She is bilingual and very professional. The place is very easy to get in and not much of a wait at all.

I am not at all impressed with Desert Ridge Family Practice. I intentionally gave Dr. Acuna more than one opportunity before I fired him and went back to my prior PCP. He was short in his responses, talked over me, didn't listen at all, and then the plan moving forward was completely botched. He claimed to make a referral, they never got it, his office deflected, and I got screwed in the end. AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!

I drive from Sun City after having awful luck and experience with several PCPs in Sun City and fell upon this doctor on a search through my health insurance. I had one doctor slam his laptop and tell me he couldn’t see me because I was too complicated with too many conditions for him. When Dr. Perrin saw I had Autonomic Dysreflexia, he didn’t back away and was quick to ask me if I have it under control and understood my triggers, etc. I was amazed that a PCP has any understanding of AD and I’m looking forward to a strong relationship with this doctor and how he will be able to coordinate my care with all my specialists as the time approaches! Excellent job, Dr. Perrin and Desert Ridge Family Physicians!
