She's very good at what she does and wastes no time tackling whichever procedure she thinks will have the most impact then is quick to schedule the next one if that procedure didn't work or if you need several visits to finish it, etc. She's easy going and has a way about her that will put you to ease, even when she performing procedures. Her staff are also great and work together like a well oiled machine, making sure all appointments are scheduled in a timely manner and following up to remind patients of any time essential tests they may need to have performed so that Dr. Gutierrez has all the facts she needs to properly diagnose their pain. If you have Chronic pain or new pain, make an appointment with her. You're insurance will usually cover it unless you're with Kaiser but they might also be able to work around that. Give them a call and schedule an appointment to see what she can do for you, you'll be glad you did.

GOLDEN STATE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR PATIENTS!!!…read more Dr. Kou. What a JOKE Is the entire establishment unprofessional? They rush you out quickly and say repeatedly "there's nothing I can do" They do not try to find ways to help you heal. They just get you in and out. Laugh at you and walk away. Just saw dr Kou. He actually laughed at me in my appointment. He too rushed through my appointment eager to leave. I'm thoroughly disappointed by Golden State Ortho as a whole. He did not listen to me. And when I said I feel like I'm not being heard, he said "no I feel like you're not listening to me!" What doctor speaks to their patient in this manner? How rude and unprofessional. Golden state has very serious internal issues with their physicians. Completely appalled by this treatment.

The front desk is AWFUL. They literally won't answer the phone or respond to emails…read more They didn't send my info to my insurance which they had on file and almost resulted in collections. I had a complication after my initial surgery and it took an absurd amount of calls to get ahold of anyone. (I ended up needing and having an emergency surgery to repair a CSF leak.) Since after reaching out multiple times via phone and email with no success my fiancé had to go in to the front desk (staff was blasting music, didnt notice her because they were staring at their phones, and had a dog on their lap, looked like a poodle.) At some point my insurance bill was sent to a company I've never even heard of, they have my actual insurance on file. This doesn't make any sense because they have submitted prior claims to the correct company in the past. The front desk all together was an absolute mess, Dr. Ball is a skilled surgeon, Dr. Shrada was awesome, but these people at the front need to be held accountable... ABSOLUTE NEGLIGENCE! I can't even fathom running a business like this...

After undergoing abdominal surgery eleven years ago, I never fully recovered and have been living…read morewith debilitating chronic pain ever since. I have undergone multiple surgeries in an attempt to resolve this issue. I have consulted pain specialists at Stanford, UCSF, and Kaiser, and have also tried physical therapy, multiple nerve blocks, acupuncture for over a year, and even ultrasound-guided Botox injections in my abdomen. Following a final surgery, which unfortunately did not alleviate the problem, it was determined that further surgical intervention was no longer an option. My last surgeon, who is highly skilled, informed me that surgical options are exhausted and recommended that I consider structural therapy. I found Cris and Medicine Evolution online and decided that a consultation might be helpful. Cris spent a considerable amount of time consulting with me, asking questions, and truly listening to my story. I decided to make an appointment. After my first session, I committed to three months of weekly sessions. Cris's holistic approach involved assessing my entire body and how I move, combined with hands-on therapy and, for once, exercises that were easy for me to remember and implement. For the past eleven years, I literally had to hold my stomach when I walked. Now, I am able to walk for over an hour without holding my stomach. I had never been able to walk for more than ten minutes without experiencing intense pain. Although I am not completely healed, Cris has given me hope that I can gradually improve. As a long-time runner, I am hopeful that I will eventually be able to run again. Cris is truly a one-of-a-kind practitioner. He thinks outside the box and integrates the brain with the body. He's amazing! I highly recommend him. He is a deep thinker who listens carefully and develops individualized plans for his clients. I truly believe that he is on the cutting edge of working with the mind and the body together. Thank you, Cris!

I've worked with many people over the years, PTs, bodyworkers and strength trainers. No one was able to assess the issues in my body and help like Chris. My knees improved quickly under his care and many months later are still feeling great. Chris's bodywork was not only amazing, but his coaching and education about bodies and my body mechanics have really helped me adjust how I walk and move. I continue to bring this awareness to my daily life, which is why I think my knees are continuing to do so well even after our sessions ended. Chris is friendly, smart, funny, observant, caring and committed to his work and his patients. I highly recommend!

Dr. Mcnamara saved my life. She is the best!…read more 2021 was a tough year for many people and probably the most difficult year for me personally. In summer 2021, I started having unknown reason fever and rashes for weeks and I even go admitted to hospital for over a week without any diagnosis. When I was so desperate and felt hopeless, Dr. Mcnamara arrived in hospital and checked me 5 am in the morning multiple times. She was so professional, careful, considerable and confident. She gave me tremendous help and encouraged me things were under control. She quickly made my treatment plan and got me out of hospital in several days! Since my condition needs more treatment in the following months. I regularly visited her office. Every time, I felt better and better based on the treatment she gave me. Without a doubt, Dr. Mcnamara's 20 years practice on this high professional level is a blessing to all patients she has helped! I want to say thank you again! She is also flexible on time, on communication methods. I could easily call her whenever I need any advices or I had any questions. She would just call me back and patiently answers all my questions. I have never met a doctor like this before in my life! Last but not least, Dr. Mcnamara makes patient feel comfortable. She makes you feel that you are not only talking to a super capable and excellent doctor but also a long time friend. She remembers about your conditions, she cares about your feelings and your life. Her treatment plan to patient is so well designed based on YOUR situation, not a same template to everyone. All in all, Dr. Mcnamara is an angel to her patients. I could not say more to express my huge gratitude her!
