Key Review Excerpts

Dr. Nathan Teismann, MD was extremely efficient and professional to do a thorough diagnosis before proceeding with a treatment plan. I felt fortunate to be under his care.

Emergency patient · 2024★★★★★

I appreciate the amazing and hospitable care provided by the manager, Lily and her staff. Carolyn the case manager worked with her and made the process simple and easy for me.

Long-term patient's family · 2023★★★★★

This place is terrible. They dropped all of their psychiatry patients without warning (mostly children). Also left everyone without medication refills because they weren’t responding to patients or insurance companies.

Healdsburg Hospital has a concerning pattern of recurring fire safety deficiencies across all three surveys, particularly with smoke detection systems that were cited in 2018, 2022, and again in 2024. The facility also had issues with care planning and medication management in recent inspections. While all deficiencies have been corrected according to state records, the repeated fire safety violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that families should discuss during facility visits.
