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.

Hemet Internal Medicine, Geriatric Medicine, Women's Health Clinic operates as a three-specialty primary-care practice on East Florida Avenue in central Hemet, anchored by Dr. Francis Batin. The clinic's scope spans adult internal medicine, geriatric care, and women's health — a deliberate combination that reflects the region's demographic: established Hemet residents aging in place, women managing preventive and reproductive health in a mid-sized valley community, and the overlap between those populations. This is a focused practice, not an urgent-care drop-in or a multi-specialty hospital satellite. The patient base skews toward long-term primary-care relationships rather than one-off visits — the kind of practice where continuity matters and Dr. Batin's geriatric focus signals serious attention to chronic disease management in older adults. For residents seeking a single doctor for ongoing internal medicine and preventive women's health, this model works; for acute same-day illness, urgent care elsewhere is faster. Insurance acceptance varies by plan; confirm coverage before scheduling. The East Florida location sits on Hemet's main commercial spine, making it a routine stop for residents already navigating that corridor for other services.
As a new resident of the area looking for a primary care doctor, I chose Dr. Batin because she is not only listed as internal medicine, but also geriatric. She has been my primary care doctor for two years and I have been pleased with how thorough she is and that she goes over all test results with...
Terrible experience with this office. When dr Donald Cassidy was here things were ran smoothly and you could actually get an appointment. I waited two months for an appointment and they ended up canceling my appointment. I showed up and they said “we didn’t have you down” What a joke . I had an appo...

I felt ok just a little back pain. She made it seem like something was seriously wrong with me. Drove myse...
What Locals Know
Hemet's aging demographic and retiree population create strong demand for geriatric-focused primary care. A solo physician practice offers direct access to one provider but typically means fewer same-day slots and longer booking windows than multi-doctor groups.
