September 25 is National Psychotherapy Day! We are proud of our team of dedicated and compassionate therapists, who have helped our patients through COVID and beyond. Remember, counseling/therapy isn’t just for times when life seems tough….it can be preventive in nature, too. It can help you learn more about yourself, your relationships, and your visions for your life.

If you need someone to talk to, we are here for you! Just give us a call at (707) 961 3492 to make an appointment.

We love a parade! #teamMCC had a blast at the Paul Bunyan Days parade. We even won the first place prize in the Original/Restored category!

It was so fun to be together, hand out gifts to the crowd, and be part of this great local tradition. We were both humbled and delighted by the cheering and applause.

This year, we rode in style in a vintage firetruck, decorated by our staff and piloted by Rich Jung, RN (and volunteer fireman). It was a day we’ll never forget!

Every year, we survey our patients to find out how we’re doing, and we were happy to learn that our patients appreciate our efforts and the care they get at MCC.

Overall, our patients rated us 9.3 out of 10, and 98% of our patients would recommend MCC to their family and friends. Some of the comments we received were:

“You guys are great and we’re lucky to have you on the coast!”

“Exceed my expectations, every appointment I’ve had here always felt comfortable. Always well informed. Best staff. really makes a difference. Never had a bad experience here. Thank you!”

“Everyone was amazing! Thank you so much for your kindness, knowledge thoughtfulness. Your team rally went above and beyond.”

“I am very grateful for the clinic and especially for the quality of all its staff.”

We are thankful to everyone who took the time to complete the survey and give us valuable feedback. And we are honored that our patients trust us with their healthcare.

We had an amazing time at our annual staff retreat yesterday! We had a series of educational workshops, enjoyed lunch from La Palapa, and just had fun spending time together.

We also celebrated a LOT of staff milestones this year: a total of 22. Twelve staff members marked 5 years on #teammcc, four reached 10 years with us, and five employees have spent 15 years and counting with MCC! One of our dentists, Dr. Tad Ulatowski, reached his 20th anniversary of working for us and caring for our community. Truly impressive.

While the rest of us were having fun, our IT staff were moving hundreds of pounds of equipment from our Sequoia Circle site to to South Street, so our servers will be powered by our new generator if the power goes out. Our computers were working perfectly this morning. Thanks to our IT staff and everyone on #teammcc for bringing the #bestcareanywhere to the Coast!
