“Our son was our full-time IHSS worker before we joined CEI and we were worried about losing that personal level of care. However, what CEI has given us as a healthcare plan is so much more than what we expected. We have home care, we get rides to the center and our appointments, we get meals delivered to us, we go on outings, we play games and we are around people who speak our language. We even made friends at the center. We absolutely love CEI.” 

“My CEI doctor is a wonderful, informative person. I appreciate the clinic doing tests to find out what is wrong and my doctor calls me personally. They found something wrong with my heart and I believe my heart caused my stroke. We worked together before and after my stroke to make sure things weren't as bad as they could be.”

“At first I did not want to change my doctor. For twenty years I had the same kidney doctor and I had my enterologist for thirty years, but I found out that CEI was contracted with both of them and was able to still see them along with a great new primary doctor, Dr. Roque. My nurse practitioner, Christina Pingol, has been instrumental in my care along with the clinic. The whole East Oakland team has made my life so much easier. They take of everything, which is so wonderful.”
