I broke my foot badly and realized I needed extra care to live independently while I healed. Home Instead, which is based in San Rafael, came to my home and explained their services. They were amenable and flexible to a schedule that met my needs and my budget. All of the caregivers they sent to my home were outstanding. Cleaning, cooking, driving, wellness assistance at any level. My elderly Mother also uses Home Instead in another region of California, so they have a good track record. If you get a caregiver who isn't a good fit, you just call the Home Instead office and they immediately find another caregiver. Licensed, insured, and highly professional, I can recommend Home Instead for caregiving. I also find it comforting to know that if I have a health emergency in the future that requires caregiving at home, I have an established relationship with Home Instead for quick service.

The staff makes not only the resident but their family feel welcome! Traci at reception greets you with a big smile and friendly voice, Phillip (great sense of humor) drives us safely to and from appointments and outings. We especially enjoyed going to the De Young for the Monet exhibit! When we have had an issue, it is addressed promptly and effectively by management. Highly recommend!

Oakmont Novato deserves more than five stars. If you're looking for a place where your loved one…read morewill be cared for with genuine compassion, professionalism, and dignity, this is it. From the moment we arrived, we felt surrounded by people who treated my Mom with genuine kindness. Scott was incredibly compassionate and reassuring--he made us feel like Mom wasn't just moving into a facility, but into a real home. And Mildred... there are no words. She cared for our Mother as if she were her own, with so much love and tenderness. She even came to my Mom's funeral and sat with our family, which meant the world to us. The environment itself is beautiful, warm, and thoughtfully designed. The meals are restaurant-quality--menus in leather-bound books and always beautifully presented. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Oakmont Novato. They cared for my Mom in a way we will never forget.

Less than 8 hours the charge is $50/hour. Since my sister lives in an adjacent town to San Rafael they also charge 2 extra hours for travel there (an extra $100). So a 4 hour morning care would cost her $300! I kept looking.

Michelle has referred me to three new physicians in the Bay Area, which have resulted in amazing…read morenew relationships in the beauty field, cosmetic and surgical. After two decades of working with practitioners around the country, I now have the best support right here, thanks to Michelle. Since I was new to the area, I invested in my relationship with Michelle, and it has been one of the best decisions of my life. Michelle's acumen assures clients receive the best care, with the most qualified practitioners and she walks you through the process, step by step. She doesn't just deliver the names of the best of the best in their respective field, she also advocates for you from the outset, sorting through priorities, finances, resources. She is warm, kind, direct, and if you work with her she will make sure expectations are managed, which is pretty amazing because the results have each time surpassed my expectations. Also, the relationships she has are so specific so that, for example, the best surgeon for rhinoplasty is not the same surgeon to perform a different surgery and, similarly, the best person to do fillers for one area may be unique to one practitioner, while another practitioner might be better at something else. Her referrals are that specific. Also, the doctors she refers to are not just skilled in their work, but are also open, receptive to their patients, kind, humble. I have also benefited from the after care services with Michelle when she helped me through a recent difficult surgery. She helped us to get access to better pain relief, made soup, helped with bandaging and organized a list of drug store needs that helped me to feel better fast. If you are investing ongoing with cosmetic needs and/ or considering a big surgery, I recommend working with Michelle. It is ultimately the best use of your resources to make sure you are planning strategically and have a coherent plan, and a good team to support you along the way.

Having someone who has been through the operation and has helped others post surgery was a tremendous relief. It allowed me to focus on adjusting to my limitations and learn to fend for myself. I would highly recommend others sign up for her services, not only post surgery but also as you search for the right doctor for you. She can help you understand what you really want and how to communicate those desires to a plastic surgeon.

I've been a patient of this practice since we moved from the city and bought our house in Marin…read more Dr. Donesky is the type of dentist I prefer with his conservative approach of saving teeth, maintaining the teeth you have, but if you need work done, he will do everything to ensure the end result looks natural. Before we went to Japan I broke a tooth - nothing dramatic, just eating dinner (rice, meat, cooked vegetables). Dr. Donesky was able to see me, put a temporary crown on my tooth so I could fly and eat my heart out on my trip. He asked me to visit the lab so they could do an exact color match on my teeth (this is what I mean when I say he wants any work he does to look natural) When I returned from my trip, the crown was ready. My temporary held up so well I was able to fly and eat normally. When the new crown was placed, the temporary was so stuck on my tooth - I appreciated that because it afforded me stability despite being a temporary crown. Rebecca, Dr. Doneskys' assistant is so kind. I enjoy our conversations (I am a nervous patient) and she is so knowledgeable about the hidden gems in Marin. Felicia at the front desk is so good with submitting my insurance claims even if my insurance rejects it, I'm glad she at least attempts it. She also schedules me for days and times that work best for my life. When I come for my appointments, despite the usual dental nervousness, I do feel confident. I know Dr Donesky is going to take great care of me and my oral hygiene. I know his staff will treat me with kindness, professionalism, and grace. I know I will be well cared for every time I visit. 5 stars, community gem.
