This place has come through for me and helped me in SO many ways when I have truly needed help. Medical, dental, behavioral health, help with my children. The Native American health center is a lifesaver.

Alexis Hamill suffers from narcissistic personality disorder and sociopathic tendencies. She is incredibly passive aggressive and went out of her way to avoid setting up appointments if she 'did not like the subjects that the patient had to deal with, such as family trauma in the session'. She has much undealt with family trauma and went out of her way to boast about holding on to such issues with her father. I went to see her for emdr and it took until the sixth month to get it. Because she has such unhappy qualities and is so controlling it made it very difficult for me to connect with much of what she was saying. Alexis went to high school one year ahead of me. She was in the popular crowd and worried about what everyone thought. I was not. When I told her, at the beginning of our therapy that I spent 15 years working on my relationship with my parents, I expected her to be proud or supportive; in fact she was neither. She was bothered by this, more than agitated but triggered. She made off the cuff jokes about 'my folks are okay. They're good sometimes, bad sometimes' a perfect generalized avoidant throw away for 'her undealt with issues with them'. I think Dr. Hamill goes out of her way, every so often, to be unconscious. She is in the most unconscious sign, which is also the most immature/youngest sign and I do think that is telling of her. If consciousness were her forte she wouldn't be boasting, as she did over her lack of relationship with her parents. When I finally got the emdr with her which took months, she did a poor job and left me in a traumatic memory replacement for 10 minutes. I did ask her to let me out of it many times and she simply kept saying 'just a few more minutes'. That was a sociopathic thing to do. See NPD's they will beg, borrow, cajole, blame 'that's not what happened, you're making me feel bad'; do anything to avoid and lie about reality. It's always someone else's fault with them too. She went out of her way to poison a memory with my mother when I spent 15 years in therapy to have a good relationship with her. NPD behavior is emotionally blackmailing and gaslighting. The therapy with Dr. Hamill ended a year ago and I still don't have a good relationship with my mother. That is not good karma that will be coming...in the future. If she did not like that the topic of the therapy I needed, was heavy, she would not schedule and would wait a week before seeing me. In the case of the emdr. I called her four days after and told her she sunk me into it and I needed to get out of it. She took a month before we met again and she did not get me out of it. The session afterwards was also another month between. I stopped seeing her. I left her a voicemail. She replied 'sorry it's not helpful'. Not 'sorry. Is there anything I can do' or 'may I refer you to someone else'. Nothing. Just an apology that the work didn't take for me...It's the same as saying 'sorry you feel that way'...when I, am not asking you to apologize for my feelings. I am asking You to apologize for your actions...again, a gaslighting technique. This is a person that thinks an awful lot of themself and yet, unless you are willing to 'behave like her' or 'act like her' or agree with every comment she has, 'you're not playing by her rules'. People with npd often play such games in order to control their environment and justify that 'their way is the only way'. But therapy, free or not, should be a healthy respectable exchange... Many people don't know they are or have been associated with NPD. There were days I knew her marriage during covid was strained and it should not have been in therapy. This is a person that wants to seem perfect, like everything is under control, but when someone knows more, they are threatened? That is a very perplexing response to learning information. Again, dismissiveness, cajoling or using blanket statements is v

Big thanks to all the hard workers offering quick and easy Covid-19 testing. Register online and get a reservation to avoid the line. My results were available 33-hours after testing.

I called them because I need to schedule my second appointment for my COVID vaccine , since they were suppose to call me a week after my first dose. I been calling them , trying different numbers they given me and I haven't been able to get an appointment, a call back or any help. I spoke with Heather front desk and she was extremely rude I was just asking her if I can speak to someone and not just get a number to call and not get an answer at all. They need better customer service . Heather try being helpful next time

I actually had an issue with one of the Front Desk Dental Staff in the Oakland office "hater" Latina sort of thin with black hair who also works at the San Francisco Dental Clinic. Upon check in she looked at me up and down while finishing checking out a patient. I should have asked her "Like yes I'm cute are you checking me out or are you hating"?, When she was done she did not acknowledge me or even ask me "Hello how may I help you", she glanced at me quick with this weird look and had me standing there for about 3-4mins until I walked up to her letting her know I was there for an interview. Then her response " Oh okay I will let my Supervisor know" as the other Receptionist was helping a patient she actually did smile. During the course of the interview I get a full introduction to the Front Desk Dental staff and "Hater" Latina young woman was being fake and foney even when she shook my hand. You can sense people's vibes and hers was NOT warming.nor sincere. A lot of these young women do not like to see another pretty face in the office. Like girl "Just stop it I'm here to apply for the open position and it's NOT yours so chill and stop acting like you didn't see me standing there. My advice to her is to stop looking at other Latina women as competition and learn to have a positive attitude that's REAL not a FAKE one because I can tell you are fake behind that desk or you just arre plain insecure about yourself! But do not look a woman up and down with the look you had given me! Very unprofessional and uncomfortable. Glad I didn't get the job and found something better than that low paying offer that was given!

I've had nothing but positive experiences over decades of my life when I come to the Native American Health center for any services. I got dental done today and Dr.Kwon(or is it Kwan, apologies if I misspelled) was a proven G.O.A.T! The entire chemistry of the facility was balanced, I had a 10am appointment, I was early in case I had to do paperwork, they recieved me early and I was walking home by 10:15. Everyone at this facility from dental to medical to mental wellness are professional, compassionate, efficient and the list goes on. I have a hard time in office settings so for me it is paramount that I can feel "at home" when my healthcare requires attention. I will live and die coming to this establishment as long as they are here as am I. Thank you ALL for everything you do, I appreciate the care!
