Dr. Rosenberg gets 2 stars because he didn't keep me waiting too long past my appointment time, and…read morehe did spend more than 10 minutes with me. Unfortunately, it didn't do any good. He treated me like a moron, didn't listen, and didn't solve my problem. So he only gets 2 stars. I was born with my right ureter through a muscle, which caused many kidney infections as a child. The local doctor misdiagnosed this as backwash. Luckily, my mom persevered and got a correct diagnosis and I was successfully operated on when I was 6. Last year (at 28), I had 3 kidney infections within 6 months. I thought this was a problem, so I starting the slow path through the insurance and doctoral hoops until I finally got to a urologist, who had a test done, which revealed that (surprise surprise) my right kidney had reduced functioning. He said this was likely due to scar tissue from the childhood operation, and could be fixed easily enough. Unfortunately, I moved to SF before we could get on with the fixing. The old urologist recommended Dr. Rosenberg here in SF, and I immediately made an appointment in hopes that we could start out where I had left off with other urologist. I brought with me my chart from the other urologist, including the results of the kidney function test. I wrote down my whole history in their "new patient" forms, and then told it all to Dr. Rosenberg. He pretended to listen, and then proceeded with the generally uncomfortable process of manually exploring my urinary tract. Below is a small excerpt of the frustrating conversation that ensued: Dr: It's probably backwash. Me: Actually, that is what I was misdiagnosed with as a child. Dr: Hmm. So, where's your scar? Me: On my lower abdomen. (Dr. examines scar on lower abdomen) Dr: Well, that is not where the scar should be, if the operation was what you said. It should be up here on your side. (Dr. proceeds to physically turn me and search for a scar on my side. Like there really might be a scar there that I had not noticed in the past quarter century. Like maybe I got a long thin scar on my lower abdomen through some other childhood scrape, like, I dunno, falling off a bike, and that distracted me from the REAL surgery scar on my side, unnoticed by me until the astute Dr. pointed it out.) Me: Um, no, I am sure I don't have a scar on my side. I don't know exactly how they did the operation, but I know it was my ureter through a muscle. Dr. (giving up on searching for the elusive side scar, but with no explanation as to the actual scar on my lower abdomen): Couldn't have been. It's probably backwash. If you have backwash, go to Dr. Rosenberg. For any other problem and/or for an actual doagnosis, go elsewhere. I am.

I had two appointments with Dr. Grady, and both left me wondering why I had been referred in the…read morefirst place. My urogynecologist had recently performed a cystoscopy and found a couple of bladder cysts. She told me they did not appear serious but referred me for follow-up. I attended my appointment expecting to discuss those findings and understand the next steps. Instead, the visit lasted only a few minutes. Dr. Grady exchanged pleasantries, asked how I was doing, and then told me to return in six months. I left without understanding the purpose of my referral, whether the bladder findings required any further evaluation, or why a six-month follow-up was recommended. Later that same day, my primary care physician asked whether Dr. Grady had looked inside my bladder to evaluate the cysts. When I told her he had not, she seemed surprised. That made me even more confused about the purpose of the appointment. As a disabled patient, attending specialist appointments requires transportation coordination and significant effort. I made the trip believing the appointment would answer important medical questions. Instead, I left feeling that my concerns had not been addressed and that my time had not been respected. My criticism is not that the appointment was brief. A brief appointment can still be excellent if the doctor explains the diagnosis, the purpose of the visit, and the treatment plan. Unfortunately, I received very little explanation, and I left with more questions than answers. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Dr. Grady because I did not feel informed, listened to, or given a clear understanding of my care.

They also took part of my intestine to make a stoma, an opening in the abdominal wall that allows urine to drain out. They then inserted two tubes to reroute urine from my kidneys to the stoma. During my almost two months hospital stay I was kept informed on all the testing, drugs and needed procedures. My kidneys stopped working and the doctors used their incredible medical knowledge to return them to fully functioning condition. They also did a lot of surgery robotically, which meant it was minimally invasive. Instead of cutting open my whole abdomen, they were able to operate using one-inch incisions. This resulted in much less pain and lower risk of infection. I'm now wearing a urinary drainage bag and learning to empty it regularly. I still have more procedures needed as I heal up.

So that made me feel nice when people actually remember you! He sat and gave me a lot of information I didn't have. He even confirmed some false information I was given a while back.

Dr. Baron had been treating my Mother's metastatic breast cancer for about 2 years. While he boasts…read morerespect of his colleagues, is always direct & undoubtedly has many years of experience under his sleeve, there are multiple things that I wish Dr. Baron would have done differently in the process of treating my Mother's disease. 1. Not enough time spent on the case. In the process of 2 years that we were seeing Dr. Baron, his practice apparently grew and the time and attention spent with us exponentially decreased. I have several examples of fully preventable sloppiness that significantly affected my Mother's well-being. While the waiting time for brief appointments would range from 30 min. to 1.5 hours, the time spent on our case went down to 5-10 min. 2. Treatment choices that lacked backup. Dr. Baron seems to be known for his aggressiveness in picking the treatments. With cancer, you have to. Unfortunately, the choices he made in the course of my Mother's disease were not always right, sometimes very poor. Doses that were too big for my Mother to handle, switching to a different drug while the previous one was still working gave her cancer a chance to grow. 3. Skepticism toward new developments. Dr. Baron does not believe in integrative cancer treatments or in any new developments directed at the patient's well-being; the mere mention of chemo-sensitivity testing brought a smirk onto his face. Being open-minded about complimentary ways could have helped identify the better suited treatment as well as help with the quality of life. The good: Dr. Baron is undoubtedly focused on killing as much cancer as possible. The bad: How much of the good stuff gets killed in the process is not a concern for him at this point. Note: The above is solely my personal opinion. Please do as much research as you possibly can before you pick your doctor and your treatment.

Because these abnormalities weren't indicators of blood Cancer for Dr. Tuan, he totally dismissed my symptoms and could not be bothered with me. When I saw him in his large plush office, which wasn't an exam room but more like an attorney's office, he was sitting at his desk looking at the computer screen with his back towards me the whole time. When I asked him about my Wt. Loss, he said it was b/c I had Gastritis, which my GI specialist didn't say that was the case! I told him so. As for the abnormally high CO2 levels in my blood, which my Pulmonary Dr. had even found to be concerning, Dr. Tuan told me to take it up with my Primary Dr., who was the one that Referred me to see a Hematologist in the first place! He so much Did Not Care about Me & my Health & Well-being that he practically shoo-ed me out of his office. A Warning to Patients referred to see Dr. Tuan: Unless you've been diagnosed with or have blood test results that are obvious indicators of Cancer, he will Not Care about the Abnormalities in your Blood nor the Symptoms you are suffering from. He is NOT the Dr. to see if you need to see a Hematologist outside of having Cancer. Instead of practicing as a 'Hematologist,' Dr. Tuan needs to make it clear that he is really an 'Oncologist.' He Should Not be calling himself a 'Hematologist,' because a REAL Hematologist looks into ALL Abnormalities of the Blood, NOT just those that are an indicator of Cancer.
