About Riverway Medical Care

What is Riverway Medical Care?

Riverway Medical Care is a family practice and primary care clinic at 1827 S Court St, Suite A, Visalia, CA 93277. The clinic describes itself as "a place to seek care for individuals and families of all types and ages from throughout the Tulare County area."

Its main work is primary care. That includes care for chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and thyroid disorders, sports and employment physicals, annual health exams, and lab draws in the office. Its prompt care line covers common illnesses, injuries and Covid-19 testing, along with IV therapy for dehydration and antibiotics. Its Women's Health line lists well women's exams, hormone replacement, birth control, IUD and Nexplanon insertion, and colposcopy.

Of the four kinds of service this listing covers, the clinic lists only hormone replacement. It names no weight loss, testosterone, peptide or longevity program.

The prescribers listed are Brian Brown, FNP-C, MSN; Jarod Williams, FNP-C, MSN; Scott Price, MD; Devin Rhyman, FNP-C, MSN; and Erin Marquez, FNP-C, MSN. Teresa Simas, who the clinic describes as specializing in gynecology, and Abel Gutierrez and Cathy Glasgow are also listed as providers, with no credentials given.

The office is open Monday through Friday, 9am to 6pm. The phone number is 559-372-7390. Google lists the clinic at 4.9 from 518 reviews, in the category Medical clinic. Telehealth is not mentioned.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. The clinic's own letter says "we are unfortunately required to make adjustments to our cash prices," with the change effective July 1, 2024, but it gives no figures. No consultation fee is listed, and it does not say whether any monthly or visit price includes medication.

Insurance is not explained. New patients are asked to bring insurance and ID, but it does not say which plans the clinic accepts. Call 559-372-7390 and ask for the numbers before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the hormone prescription, and whether that person is one of the providers named above.

Ask whether the hormone care is for menopause only or also includes testosterone, since the clinic does not say.

Ask the price of the first visit, the follow-up visits and any lab work that goes with hormone care.

Ask whether the clinic takes your insurance, and what the cash price is if it does not.

Ask whether any visit can be done by video, because telehealth is not mentioned.

Ask about changing or cancelling an appointment. The clinic asks patients to arrive 15 minutes early, and says late arrivals may be rescheduled.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want an in-person primary care office in Visalia that also handles hormone replacement for menopause, and you can keep weekday daytime appointments. If you are looking for weight loss, testosterone or peptide care, the clinic does not name one, so ask before you book.
