Golden Valley found humble beginnings as a hospital-operated migrant health program. When Mike Sullivan took charge as coordinator in 1972, it was the start of a long history of change and innovation.
From there, the clinic blossomed, opening 11 satellite clinics and branching out to include services for those in Stanislaus County. The organization realized they needed to change their name to represent all those they served and in 1995, Golden Valley was born.
Throughout its history, Golden Valley became known for growing by leaps and bounds in terms of quality and services. Golden Valley has not only spearheaded the development of patient registries and population management for improved patient outcomes, but theyve also developed cultural competency programs and continued to open new sites throughout the region.
In 2014, the current CEO, Tony Weber joined the organization and provided a fresh vision for the future. Under his leadership, Golden Valley has continued to increase in both the number of sites and patients served. The organization now has 45 sites and serves over 143,000 unique patients per year. In 2016, Golden Valley modernized its logo to revive its purpose in the community. Additionally, Webers commitment to being the employer of choice has allowed for the hiring of the best and brightest providers to care for our patients. Join us to write the next chapter in Golden Valleys history.

They never ever answer the phones. Then I went to the dentist office in person to make an appointment. They then gave me a number to text appointments and I've texted for 2 weeks and still no response

The staff was very friendly and I did not have to wait long. The dental assistant was very kind and made sure to explain the paperwork she was giving me. I was in & out in about an hour or so, would recommend if you don't have anywhere else to go!

Refuse to answer phone. Can never get the paperwork right between the Dr. And pharmacy to the point I have to have the pharmacy print out the paperwork and drive down and refuse to leave till the doc signs off so I can get my med that were prescribed to me 1-3 month delay loosing paperwork and miscommunication. Days of delay to get a callback (if at all)to answer a simple (but urgent)question that could be Dealt with in under a minute. Not just one time... every single time. The providers themselves are trainees for the most part and have a high turnover so every time you go in it's for a initial consult because the last one doesn't work there any more. How can you manage care if you can't seem to get past step 1??

(Translated by Google) Super bad care, I made an appointment for my son who has a problem with a tooth that still does not fall out completely and the new one also came out and now he has 2, and I took him to have his loose tooth removed and not have it. They removed it, they simply told him to move it so that it fell silent , more than a month has passed after the appointment and the tooth is still stuck, because it is most likely that the new tooth has grabbed it and they were very inept by not take it off. I do not know what to do now. (Original) Super mala atencion, hice una cita para mi hijo que tiene un problema con diente que aun no se le cae del todo y el nuevo le salio tambien y ahora tiene los 2, y lo lleve para que le removieran el diente flojo y no se lo removieron, simplemente le dijeron que el mismo lo moviera para que se callera , ya paso mas del mes despues de la cita y el diente aun sigue pegado, porque lo mas seguro es que el diente nuevo lo tiene agarrado y fueron muy ineptos al no quitarlo. Ahora no se que hacer.

My daughter Shelby & I love Golden Valley Dental in Merced. Everyone has been so nice. Shelby had two teeth extracted yesterday. They explained how they were going to do it, what to expect during and after the extractions. They were so very thorough and kind. I am retired from the dental field after 40 years. I have full trust and Dr. Wu and the office. I was examined yesterday for a problem tooth by Dr. Bal. He was so very nice and thorough also. The office has a very friendly and great staff. I would recommend them to everyone.
