Desert Sage Health Centers: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Love my doctor Dawn Best and everyone there. Always pleasant people and same for the dental dept. They always do a great job and are so friendly. To this day I still feel the same she's a great Doctor and always hears you out. Never makes you feel like a paycheck but actually genuinely cares. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic experience: Out of all the doctors that I have seen in my whole life, Doctor best has been the best!! She’s the one doctor that I have met in the last 25 years that seems to love her job and her patience. She’s always so caring understanding and eager to listen! She really wants to know what the patient wants to tell her! And if you’ve ever been in this situation with a Doctor Who doesn’t listen to you, you understand, the struggle this doctor listens!
Fantastic experience: DAWN BEST IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! she is there for you, listening to what you're saying!
Fantastic experience: I like this clinic very much. Great staff. I am new here in Mountain Home and was worried about where I could find good healthcare in such a small area. Very happy that I found Desert Sage.
Fantastic experience: This is a healthcare provider who has not forgotten that he is human. This makes me feel that I am not lost in a system and that he is not just going through the motions of the day. I also feel because of this he is providing a better service. My visit with him. He was thorough in thinking through and rethinking his decisions based on my input. It also proves he was listening.
Fantastic experience: Thanks, great care. Took time to answer all my questions and explain what is going on. Whole staff is friendly, helpful, and competent.
Fantastic experience: Had a little mishap today that required a couple of stitches, Ashley Casto took care of it. Very professional and did an amazing job. She was done in no time. This is my first time with Ashley, she is very impressive! Thank You!!!

Fantastic experience: Great provider listened and knowable super friendly. Melanie G will be asking for her as my provider
Negative experience: Careful folks they don’t bother to let you know your insurance is out of network as they gleefully type it in and charge you full price. I hope the extra $170 you fleeced from me was worth it
Fantastic experience: Wendy is a fantastic doctor, I always look forward to seeing her!
Fantastic experience: Dawn Best is really great with the kiddos. She really listens to your concerns that you may have. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I love Wendy and how she cares out her patients
Fantastic experience: If you need an appointment fast Forget about it. Well take a month to see a Droctor. But if you want an appointment with a pa that they can do in a week.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Wendy is great! She listens to all my concerns and is very polite. She was on the same back with all of us and able to help get my daughter in the right direction

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love dr. Gilliland!! I usually get so nervous but she made me feel so comfortable!!
Fantastic experience: Very nice and considerate lady. It was my pleasure to meet her. Takes time for you and listens thoroughly, thank you doctor Gilliland!
Negative experience: Your phone service is even worse than before and apparently doesn’t have our records anymore since they moved across the street. Oh and the 3rd party vendor they use for records retrieval (Chart something or other) is UNRELIABLE. Oh and 7-10 business day wait? Their staff doesn’t even know how the service works. This place is garbage.
We would like to get your records to you as soon as possible, and to fix any issues we might be having with our records service. Please call our office so we can assist. Thank you for highlighting your concerns so we can address them!

Fantastic experience: Deseret Sage is the best place for medical help in Mountain home, Idaho. My Dr, Wendy is AWESOME! JOSH T MY daughter seen Melanie today And she AMAZINGLY AWESOME THANK YOU ALL AT DESERET SAGE. EMMA THOMAS
Fantastic experience: Was very friendly and made me feel at ease. She brought a very happy and light air into the room.
Negative experience: Called for an appointment for urgent care and they told me it was basically a drive through where they will treat me in my pickup instead of an actual office. If that's the case I better see roller skates on there feet and a malt shake attached to my window! I'm not driving through for a covid test and this is absolutely asinine
Fantastic experience: Melanie was awesome and so were the other ladies that helped diagnose my son. Now he can get better. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Melanie was very nice and understanding and such a sweet gal.
Fantastic experience: Melanie Gilliland is wonderful. She listens and shows genuine concern. Happy to have her as our new provider. She’s an asset to our community. Always nice to have a provider that takes the time to get to know you.
Fantastic experience: Establishing care with a NEW to me provider is always scary. But Melanie sure exceeded expectstions. THANK YOU for making me feel so comfortable.
Fantastic experience: She was easy to communicate with, listened attentively, created a plan of treatment that felt appropriate and was warm and caring
Melanie is already getting rave reviews by her new patients. Thanks for letting us know what a great experience you had!
Fantastic experience: Melanie was awesome today. She will be a pleasure to have her as my Doctor. She took time to really get to know me. Listening intently on everything I said.
Fantastic experience: I went to the dental office & the assistant was a gem 10/10 recommend, they also have relocated & expanded which is a lot more comfortable! Makes it worth the drive from Twin falls!
Fantastic experience: Claudia has been such a great presence at the front desk in Glenns Ferry. From the moment you walk in, she makes you feel comfortable and at ease. She’s professional, genuinely kind, and attentive. It’s clear she takes pride in helping others, and it really shows.
Fantastic experience: This time we went through the drive-through clinic. It was good, and fast. Scott was great and we got our problems or symptoms dealt with quickly thanks. The bottom I just submitted
Fantastic experience: Very professional and knowledgeable. Very compassionate. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Desert sage and the staff are very welcoming and would highly recommend them. And Dr H. Is super sweet talking to him is like talking to family.
Fantastic experience: Jon did awesome taking care of me in the drive through clinic. First time using the drive through was very convenient
Fantastic experience: I was feeling very unsure when I came into my appointment today with Dawn. But when I left, I felt a sense of relief. She did not rush me, even though it was supposed to be a 15 minute appointment and tho I rushed the explanations for what I mentioned she understood listened to me and didn’t make me feel like I was taking up to much of her time. She let me discuss ALL the things with absolutely amazing patience
Fantastic experience: Always positive friendly and professional staff.
Fantastic experience: I have been having weird ongoing health issues for a year now and Wendy has taken me more seriously than anyone before. This is so valuable to us who have dealt with a lifetime of health issues.
Fantastic experience: Dentist Dr. Juli and the whole dental department are such a joy. I drive all the way from Boise to get my work done with them. Best crew, empathetic and professional.
Fantastic experience: Dr Hajazi is awesome. However, I don't like the administrative policy of being able to see a patient for illness only per appointment. Seems like a way to make more money. Not looking out for the patient. It's because of this rule I am thinking of changing doctors
Fantastic experience: Dawn is always attentive-good communication about solutions. 12 years and counting. Update: Still the BEST provider I've had. I'm now suffering from a chronic condition & her help in deciding which treatments will benefit me is crucial at this point. I plan to keep her all the way to palliative care. ❤️
Fantastic experience: Great PA and he discuss stuff with me that I understand great guy
Fantastic experience: I am always treated like family when I go see Jon
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with this Mountain Home drive-thru clinic. Jon Casto, PA-C and staff were professional and efficient, making the entire process smooth and convenient. I appreciate how they managed everything quickly without compromising on care. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: 2/2/25 She is one of the best doctors I have ever had. listens. does not judge. and is very good no matter what the issue is. Dawn will talk you through it until you understand. THANK YOU Desert Sage for your caring staff.... She was very thorough (Dawn Best). Got all test covered.Wasted no time, wonderful bed side manners. Asked question I never thought about. Been going here 2 years. I HAVE always gotten in within a timely matter when I had no appt. 12/29/21 Took lots of time to help me figure out my insulin. were still working on it. But did do lots of research. she is so easy to talk to and listens to everything you say.
Fantastic experience: She’s really great and compassionate
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ashley is the Best, she is a very thorough and thoughtful. She makes me feel comfortable and confident in decisions that she makes to make me feel better. I would not have any other way, forever her patient!
Fantastic experience: Alejandra did an amazing job cleaning my teeth. She was thorough and precise in the process. Going to request her from now on. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: She was super gentle with our 4 year old who was resistant. Very sweet and caring professional.
Fantastic experience: My mother is in her 80’s and has had bad luck with PA’s. But she LOVES Jon Casto. He is patient with older people and makes her feel like he cares. Because he does care. I am soooo glad we have her in his care. He’s the best.
Fantastic experience: Dawn was able to update my prescriptions so I had them the same day. Dawn was thorough in answering my questions.
Fantastic experience: The team here has always taken great care of me. I get my teeth cleanings done every six months and the dentists give great advice on how to improve hygiene. My doctor has always been quick to hear my issues and refer me to the right specialist for the job. No one has ever made me feel silly or dumb for asking questions. PS.. Scott is the best!
Fantastic experience: Claudia Caudillo is absolutely wonderful! Every time I’ve been at the clinic, she’s gone out of her way to make me feel welcomed and taken care of. She’s incredibly friendly, kind, and always has a warm smile. You can tell she genuinely cares about the people who walk through the door.
Fantastic experience: This place was amazing everyone was very professional and very good at answering questions.
Fantastic experience: PA-C Quinn Romeril was very professional and attentive to my concerns.
Fantastic experience: Dr Quinn was very amazing this is my first time meeting him he got to know me and my medical health I really like the fact how he broke everything down he took the time to understand what needed to be done and what we need to do I also like the fact that he takes the time to get to know his patients and he has compassion for his patient highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Very professional, & kind. Appreciated very much. Adding imaging into the file was a good touch. My other son's Dr. Didn't think his was worth even requesting since it's being treated by another physician. To me it's part of the paitents medical history & should be added to a primary care physicians file. Thank you for being a awesome!
Negative experience: Wasn't really happy with Wendy Loumeau, saw her in the drivethru and I feel like I just got driven over. My mom and I went in with similar Upper respiratory issues, my mom was on a antibiotic for it last week that really hasn't helped her all that much, so all she could do to get seen quickly was go thru the drive thru. Wendy gives my mom an order for an X Ray, and gives me a script for a cough drop that doesn't work and costs 20 bucks. When I call back and say it doesn't work, she sends over a "Script" for an OTC cough medication half the price for people with High Blood pressure. I don't have Hypertension, my anatomy teacher at Mountain Home high School is smarter than this PA. I'm really surprised because my mom loves her regular provider at Desert sage.
Fantastic experience: Alejandra was so great with my child! She made her feel comfortable, answered all her questions & really interacted with her. She provides outstanding care & my child can’t wait to see her again!
Fantastic experience: I love dawn she’s a really good doctor and really listens and understands and doesn’t interrupt when your talking and is gentle
Fantastic experience: This great lady cleaned my teeth. I was so happy with how they looked and felt while she was cleaning them . She was very friendly to me ! I was asking her a lot of questions about her tools she used trying to be friendly and let her know how much I appreciated what she was doing for me. I received excellent care i give her an A+ rating Thank you all , thank you Rosa ..
Fantastic experience: I went in and explained what was going on with me and verified my information allergies. Prescribed medication to ease my pain and all was done very seamlessly very personable. Will be back in a month to see.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Dawn is extremely smart I feel like i can trust her with my health
Fantastic experience: Ashley is a wonderful doctor and she will be missed.

Fantastic experience: Dawn Best is awesome. Always friendly and understanding when it comes to my health. She gives me options.
Fantastic experience: I like everyone at Desert Sage Health Center. The staff are very efficient and I never have to wait very long to see the doctor. Dawn Best is always thorough, listens to what you tell her. The lab people are really good. I never feel the needle when they take my blood. I've been going to Desert Sage for 3 years now and I really like it there.
Positive experience: Wendy is my PA, she answers my long list of questions, provides appropriate referrals. Great care and is reliable.
Fantastic experience: I am so thankful for my doctor, Dawn Best. She listens, she is compassionate, very knowledgeable, and she has helped me. Never have I felt rushed through. Honestly, if it wasn't for my car accident I wouldn't have gone to a primary care physician for help. Many of us have been too disappointed with western medicine and our healthcare system over the years, but much to my surprise Dessert Sage has been so refreshing. Thank you Dr. Best, (and your very kind staff) you have restored my faith and hope in our healthcare providers!
Fantastic experience: Ashley Casto is always a friendly, helpful, polite, and professional person, it’s always been a very positive experience seeing her, she listens to your concerns and cares for her patient’s health.

Fantastic experience: Wendy is awesome! She explains everything to us very clearly. All positive things to say about her!
Fantastic experience: Ashley is the best! She always listens and seems to understand all of my needs ….. thank you Ashley
Fantastic experience: Jon is the absolute most amazing health care provider I have ever seen. It will be a massive loss to Desert Sage Health Center when he leaves. He is an incredible listener, provides care for everything the patient notes and is caring and empathetic. It is going to take me a very long time to replace him, if I ever can. He treats the whole patient and all their needs. Jon is outstanding in his field.
Fantastic experience: The Drive-Thru was very quick and efficient and everyone was very kind!
Fantastic experience: Super friendly and did a great job with my kids. They loved talking with him.
Fantastic experience: I used the drive up clinic. Best idea ever! Super easy and fast, Jon was very professional and sympathic. I love deseret sage and he reinforced that!
Fantastic experience: I like Dawn Best she is very nice and does a very good job when she comes in to see you. I keep going to see her. I've been seeing her for the past 4 or 5 years now and she has helped me a lot.
Fantastic experience: You will totally be impressed by Dawn Best. She is wonderful! She is always on top of my care. Dawn and her nurse works great together. I keep coming back because of Dawn and her complete care of me.
Fantastic experience: Excellent I love my provider Dawn Best she is one of my angels she always listens and takes great care of me everyone who knows her loves her and trusts her
Fantastic experience: Jon Casto is the best. First medical professional who listened to me,and then was able to help me.
Fantastic experience: John is always so friendly, caring. He takes the time to listen...even to stuff that has nothing to do with the primary reason for the visit. Turns out it was the most important part of the visit...being validated and heard.
Negative experience: Called to schedule as new patient. Was told Dr.H isn’t taking new patients. Asked specifically”is there a provider who understands Thyroid issues” was placed on hold(which is fine) receptionist came back on the line and stated “our MD’s are not taking new patients” I had already been told this, so what, I wasn’t put on hold to get an answer to my Thyroid question. I was then told “we can schedule you with Mark, but he’s usually in Glenns Ferry”…
Fantastic experience: Love my dental hygienist and the new building is very nice.
Fantastic experience: My whole family sees Wendy. She is very knowledgeable and caring. We love to come see her!
Fantastic experience: I have had Dr. Jon Casto for close to 4 years now. He is a wonderful guy who is always nice,caring and very thoughtful in how he approaches my situation. I can't say enough good things about him.
Fantastic experience: I see Scott Knudsen at Desert Sage and he's the best provider I've had treat me in a very long time!! He is so kind, considerate, listens, answers all my questions, and never makes me feel rushed or unheard. I only have good things to say about him!!!!!
Fantastic experience: I Love How They Focus On Me And My Needs Directly. I Like Ashley Casto Very Much Also Dawn Best Sees My Childern And She Is Amazing
