Clinica Sierra Vista – West Delano Dental Center - General dentist in Delano, CA

In 1971, during the early days of the Community Health Center Movement, Clinica Sierra Vista was started in the small Kern County farming community of Weedpatch. A group of visionaries set out to provide quality health care to migrant farmworkers who harvested the lush agricultural fields in the southern San Joaquin Valley, but struggled to afford even basic needs like food, shelter, and health care.

Were honored to continue to serve the men and women of the fields. We have also expanded our footprint throughout the Central Valley, offering care and support to the inner city, the rural and isolated, those of low, moderate, and fixed incomes, and families from an array of cultural backgrounds who speak several languages. We dont inquire about immigration status because we simply dont need to know. If you come to us, we will treat you like any other patient.

We attribute our growth and success to the simple guiding principle established in our early days, and it has never changed: Health care is a right for all, not a privilege for some. We often hear from patients that their 1st visit to a doctor was at a Clinica Sierra Vista community health center. We consider that a sacred responsibility, and we are humbled by their trust.

Clinica Sierra Vista is a comprehensive healthcare organization serving the primary medical, dental, and behavioral health needs of about 200,000 people in Kern and Fresno. With the continued support of federal, state, and local governments, we have been able to reach out to thousands of new patients, offering comprehensive programs tailored to the needs of those we serve over a vast geographical region in the heartland of California.

We know that health and wellness cannot be narrowly defined, that it encompasses a persons entire life. Thats why we are leaders in delivering services to address problems like homelessness, substance use, teen pregnancy, and other struggles that can compromise physical and mental health. With great pride, we can also say that we are recognized as a social justice organization, advocating tirelessly on behalf of our patients in many areas, not just health care. We believe the vulnerable need a voice, and we have tried to add ours to the chorus since we founded Clinica Sierra Vista.

We plan to continue to work to build a system of care that will assure the survival of a locally governed and controlled healthcare agency. Our success far exceeds the original projections and expectations of the funding agencies and founders of a small, rural health program in Weedpatch. That success has been mainly from the dedication of this organizations board and staff. Our team has demonstrated a deep understanding of rural healthcare delivery, community relationships, and an intimate, personal knowledge of patient needs.

Clinica Sierra Vista is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) system. It receives the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) funding and has Federal Public Health Service (PHS) deemed status with respect to certain health or health-related claims, including medical malpractice claims, for itself and its covered individuals.

If you have a life-threatening emergency please call 9-1-1. For non-life-threatening after hours urgent medical advice, our providers are available after hours 24 hours per day/365 days per year by calling 833-278-4584

Would like to give them no stars... had a horrible experience taking my 5 year old daughter to her first dental appointment... I had to take my children out of that clinic because the doctor yelled at my 5 year old daughter, (A 5 YEAR OLD) if that lady doesn't know how to talk to children she should not be attending any children. Never had that happen until now, I've been going there for years and always had a good experience until this lady started working there... and when I asked if they can be seen with another doctor they said they didn't have any other doctors. So now I have brought them to Smileland.

Im hecka salty right now. Not only are the staff and dental workers extremely rude, but they are also incredibly impatient and indifferent. If you're looking for good service I would definitely not recommend this clinic.

If only no stars were an option. This clinic is completely unprofessional. I came in for a root canal and during the process I had a panic attack and could not continue in the moment. Instead of assisting or even understanding, I was rudely told to leave. No one helped me after and when I was ready to continue, I was told that I'd have to find a new dentist because apparently having a panic attack is unreasonable. I wouldn't recommend this clinic to anyone.
