DENTAL DEPARTMENT offers
2 Dentists & a Dental Hygienist!
"Over three decades I’d lived in San Jose, CA there was no one like this medical office, wait time is short, and very professional staff. Referred by a doctor to go see Dr. Mosson and I did. I am glad that I met an excellent doctor, very detailed, cared and responsive to my calls and very helpful."

“Wow is all I can say! I have been to the new (Valley Springs) Health and Wellness Center 2 times recently and have to say I am so impressed. Wait times are short, staff is not only professional but incredibly friendly and their clinic is equipped with some high tech medical gear, which is new to Calaveras County.
Dr. Robbins is an amazing doctor who takes his time with each patient, connects with the children he is seeing, and most importantly actually listens to concerns parents might have. I highly recommend this medical facility.”
"The dental office is second to none, the dental hygienist is the best I've ever had." _________________________________________________________________________________________

Hello Community, Families, and Patients:
The Valley Springs Health & Wellness Center makes your health and care our top priority. This couldn’t be more important than during this terrible Covid pandemic. We are definitely seeing more positive Covid cases at the clinic (and throughout the county), but rest assured we manage those patients by evaluatinand testing them in their cars in the parking area. Our clinic is safe and clean:it is scrubbed down every night by a professional cleaning team. We’re not aware of any Covid cases that have been transmitted from the clinic.
We are really concerned about those of you who are not vaccinated. This is so important. We are seeing so much suffering and loss of life in the non-vaxers. Please start your vaccine shots as soon as possible.
With gratitude,
The Clinic Team
“Our enthusiastic, caring staff is excited about serving the community, providing access to quality care and excellent customer service.”

A lifetime commitment to health and wellness

Dr. Randy Smart is a fourth-generation physician raised in Calaveras County – from great-grandfather on down. “My grandfather was an internist specializing in tuberculosis,” he shared. “He moved our family to Calaveras in 1926 and started the Bret Harte Sanitorium in Murphys. It’s an interesting story – it was determined that TB patients needed less oxygen and that the 2,000- foot elevation was best. So, sanitoriums were moved to that elevation across the country. My grandfather is my hero.” . . .
