Meet Dr. Sergey Veretennikov, M.D. Family Physician at River Bend Medical Associates in West Sacramento.
He believes great healthcare starts with connection, trust, and truly knowing the people he serves.

More than treating symptoms, Dr. V values building real relationships with his patients and walking beside them through every season of life. 🤝💙

Here’s to compassionate care, close to home.

Effective today, River Bend Medical Associates has officially transitioned to the Epic electronic health system.
As part of this upgrade, we will no longer be using Klara for messaging.

Epic is a secure, modern platform that will allow us to provide you with:
• Faster access to your health information
• Improved communication with your care team
• More efficient scheduling and follow-up
• A unified, streamlined patient experience

Thank you for your patience during this transition.
Our goal is to ensure you receive the best care with the best tools available.

If you have any questions or need help getting connected, please call our office and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you for being part of the River Bend Medical Associates family.

🏳️‍⚧️ Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance

Join us today in honoring the trans lives taken by violence, including su***de. None of us should carry our pain alone.

This year, 58 trans people were lost since November 2024, 21 to su***de, with 61% of those losses among youth ages 15–24. Recent research continues to show that discrimination and harassment put trans youth, especially trans girls and young trans women, at heightened risk. (https://www.transremembrance.org/)

Across the country, bans on gender-affirming care and anti-trans legislation threaten safety, dignity, and access to care that every person deserves.

To every trans person reading this:
You are irreplaceable. Your life matters. You are loved.
