I don't have a good opinion about this place. I don't personally live here but I know someone who does and shouldn't have moved there - it is out in the boonies and nothing but dirt. It's about 45 min from Wellington, and another hour to even Carson City. If there is any life threatening emergency, the only med evac is as far as Wellington (for people in Yerington). If you are sick or need the ER...Yerington docs are gonna kill you. My mom went there with a serious issue (I'm not gonna put specifics out there on her personal problems), the docs didn't know what the issue was and sent her packing. She called me and told me everything - I researched her issue and it was a 911/get prompt medical attention issue. I told her to go back and see if they could ambulance her to Carson Ciity. She went back and they wouldn't take her in because she "just checked out." She went back the next day (fortunately still alive) to her regular doctor who "wasn't there." Two (nurse practitioners I believe) checked her out and said this wasn't a "clinic" issue but an ER issue and subsequently checked her into the ER. They are saying what caused this serious problem (or made it worse/life threatening) is the doc that issued her meds last didn't look to see what she was already on. All I have heard about the "doctors" in Yerington is nothing good. What happened to my mom is only proof. Anyone who wants to live, I highly recommend re-considering being two hours out in the middle of nowhere. Especially in Yerington with Yerington "docs."
