Unfortunately, if you have a complex health problem, this is not the doctor you're looking for. I have multiple obscure health issues, and after investigating the most obvious solutions, it was as if Dr Blackman lost interest in me. He was initially engaging and seemed sympathetic, but after his first couple of diagnoses didn't pan out, he stopped trying. This would have been tolerable if he had been courageous enough to tell me that he couldn't help me, and/or suggested I go see another physician, but he kept stringing me along with the "you need time to recover" routine. After a couple of months of this, I started seeking out new doctors on my own, and found another doctor in the practice who referred me to several non-mainstream practitioners (acupuncture, physical therapy, osteopathic manipulation) who are starting to make a difference. I can't help but believe that I would be much healthier by now if Dr Blackman weren't so conventional and unimaginative.

Especially given the current state of Health Care in America, and the medical community's relationship with insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies. Often it feels like the patient's needs are last, given the complex business models, billing practices, and sourcing structures. Here's a TED talk explaining the solution: http://www.ted.com/talks/atul_gawande_how_do_we_heal_medicine.html Dr. Curran is one of those few doctors who keeps the patient's needs at the forefront, stays up on her craft, is well-versed in current trends and research, collaboratively works with the patient to resolve questions, has a keen ear for listening, and is an all-around warm and caring individual. I trust Dr. Curran, and I respect her opinion. So much so, that even though I now live in VA/DC, Dr. Curran is still my doctor of choice. In fact, I waited 6-months to get in with her office initially, and now that I'm in, I don't plan to lose my spot! All the good doctors have waiting lists, it seems - in all cities.

I also agree that Dr. Curran is fantastic. After having a terrible experience with a doctor in…read moreWashington DC, I never go to a doctor now without consulting reviews. Dr. Curran has been my OBGYN for about 2 years now and it's been great. She is very kind and understanding and extremely knowledgeable. She helped diagnose a problem I was having that other doctors had muddled up. She has a nice bedside manner. I've cried a few times in her office and she handled it with grace, kindness and compassion. She is also willing to go above and beyond, recommending other doctors and giving her professional opinion while also consulting with you to make sure you understand everything that's going on. Her office staff is nice, professional, and competent. Not easy to find in a medical office. A while back they advised me on how to handle getting into the correct medical group while not messing up my PCP designation. All around great.

LOVE. I had a terrible experience with another doctor earlier this year (they made a massive mistake - I'll leave it at that), however, it's all good because it led me to Dr. Schwartz. (This is exactly why I love life - you get a little bad, and then a lotta good...just be patient and don't forget to look for the good!) When making my first appointment, the person at the directory wasn't too confidence inspiring. I got a lot of "uh..." and "umm..." before he said, "he's barely ever here....it's gonna be awhile...." Oh, boy. So I get bad news AND the dude who can help me isn't available? Great. I ended up landing an appointment within a couple weeks from that call, and I've seen Dr. Schwartz several times since then. I honestly don't even know where to start with him. He blows away every stereotype and bad experience I've ever had with doctors or the medical profession in general. Dr. Schwartz listens, is caring, is never dismissive, thoughtfully answers EVERY SINGLE QUESTION (including all the ones I start with, "So, I know I shouldn't but...I googled......."), is funny, unbelievably accomplished, methodical and thorough, knowledgeable, kind - should I go on? While his original assistant has since left, his new one (Mazie) is just as lovely, and all the nurses are great, too. My one nitpick is the wait times. I book early in the morning and still haven't been seen in under 45 minutes. That's rough when you work 9-5ish. That said, Dr. Schwartz never rushes the appointment, and for that I'm grateful. Expect to spend a couple hours here, and know that it will be well worth your time. I couldn't be happier to have found him, even if the road *to* him was less than great. PS I dare you to find a more accomplished doctor (just google him!). Anyone else his age would be sipping margaritas on an island somewhere, yet he's still going 200MPH and is in the process of writing a textbook for medical students, on top of everything. He's unstoppable.

The took my information and I was able to get an appointment in two weeks, but let me know it would cost me $375 for a consultation. Seems ridiculous, but I was desperate. I show up to my 3pm appointment on time after sitting through Friday afternoon sf traffic on pride weekend, and the office is dank and smells like cigarettes. The guy at the front desk looks shocked when I walk in, and asks who I am. He replies that he only has my name down, but no information at all on what I'm being seen for, or any of my personal details. He says the doctor went to lunch (even though they have an appointment for me), so it may be awhile. I'm a bit stunned. A few minutes later he gives me some paperwork to fill out and tells me if the doctor isn't back by 3:30 (30 minutes after my appointment was supposed to begin,) that I'd have to reschedule. What!? He then proceeds to call the doctor, and I can hear the doctor on the other end of the phone saying "can she pay the $375? If so, I'll be back in ten minutes." All this place wants to know is can you pay their outrageous fee. I was hesitant to see this doctor because of all the reviews on him, but he came highly recommended, and again, I was desperate. I shredded my paperwork and promptly walked out. Whatever you do, don't try to see this doctor.
