The Hemet VA Outpatient Clinic on East Latham Avenue is a Veterans Affairs facility serving eligible military veterans across the region with primary care, specialty referrals, and preventive health services. As part of the VA system, it operates under federal coverage rather than commercial insurance networks, meaning patients pay no out-of-pocket costs for in-system care regardless of income or employment status. Veterans with service-connected disabilities, retirees, and those meeting VA eligibility criteria use this clinic as their primary care home or as a referral point for specialists unavailable locally. For non-veterans or those seeking care outside the VA system, commercial clinics and hospitals elsewhere in Hemet and the surrounding valley are the alternative. The clinic fills a specific population slot — the one where eligibility and federal benefit structure determine access rather than insurance card or ability to pay.
Surya Reddy operates a medical practice on East Florida Avenue in central Hemet, serving patients in the surrounding area with general medical care. The practice handles the routine scope of primary-care medicine — acute illness, chronic disease management, preventive visits, routine physicals — for families and adults seeking a direct-access provider rather than an urgent care or emergency department. Patients calling typically include those with established primary-care relationships, new residents settling into Hemet and looking for a local doctor, and families managing ongoing conditions that benefit from continuity with the same provider. For walk-in urgent needs or after-hours emergencies, the dedicated urgent-care clinics and hospital emergency departments elsewhere in the valley remain the appropriate channel. For residents seeking a consistent primary-care presence in central Hemet, this office fills that foundational role in the local medical landscape.

Get ListedApex Healthcare Medical Center occupies a suite on East Florida Avenue in Hemet, operating as a multi-specialty primary-care facility rather than a single-doctor practice or urgent-care clinic.
Apex Healthcare Medical Center occupies a suite on East Florida Avenue in Hemet, operating as a multi-specialty primary-care facility rather than a single-doctor practice or urgent-care clinic. The center handles the routine medical needs that keep residents anchored to a consistent provider — preventive visits, chronic disease management, minor acute care — across a patient population spanning families, working adults, and seniors. The scope typically includes family medicine and internal medicine rather than surgical or highly specialized fields. For Hemet residents looking to establish care with a primary-care team rather than cycling through walk-in urgent care, Apex serves that continuity role. Patients managing hypertension, diabetes, or routine health maintenance benefit from the standing-appointment pattern; those with acute injuries or late-night illness would still route to a true urgent-care center. Insurance acceptance and hospital affiliation vary by plan and provider; a call ahead clarifies coverage before the first visit.
Never, EVER, use this Dr. Office. As a US Veteran I have had to deal with doctors outside of the VA. Never have I ever dealt with incompetence at a level as high as this office. Office staff will sign in place of the doctor to get you testing or treatment that is not needed thereby delaying your car...
Great staff and Dr's !!! I was in the office and in 2 weeks my surgery was done. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Dr. Crater was the best. He straightforward and professional. Told me what I needed and done and done.
Where to start! Get call to schedule and then told I NEED to get X-Rays and referral, when the referral was sent to them and that was why they called me. Great start. I take off work, get X-Rays and bring them to office and then have to wait another week for appointment, since X-Rays were not ready!...
