El Trocadero restaurant


Effective immediately, the Newhall Health Center is open Monday evenings until 7 p.m., Wednesdays and Thursdays  from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Fridays from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Samuel Dixon Family Health Centers’ other locations, Canyon Country and Val Verde, continue with their regular hours and weekly rotation of Mondays and alternate Saturdays.

Each health center is open one evening per week (Newhall on Mondays, Canyon and Val Verde on Tuesdays).

Program director and lead provider Michael Gales PA-C, called “Dr. Mike” by his longtime patients, says these expanded hours at Newhall will better enable SDFHC to meet patient demand at the Newhall location and better accommodate SCV residents. Michael currently is on staff three days a week at Newhall. He is joined by Dr. Ruben Hernandez, medical director on Thursdays and Dr. Taura Oflus on Fridays. Dr. Olfus, a board certified family practice physician, is a welcome new addition to the team of health care providers at Newhall.

Please call 661-291-1777 for further information or to schedule your appointment. As with all SDFHC facilities, all services are available in both English and Spanish, and all charges are based upon the patient’s ability to pay. Insurance is welcome. SDFHC accepts all forms of Medi-Cal managed care, HWLA, and Medicare. SDFHC also offers CHDP and FamPact programs.
