I've been seeing Dr. Leib for a bunch of years now. Dr. Leib has provided me both the care and the…read moreinformation to support a healthy lifestyle. I first started seeing Dr. Leib with high blood pressure, cholesterol and BMI. Over the course of time, with his care, my blood pressure, cholesterol and weight have been drastically improved. Dr. Leib takes the time to learn about his patients and use his expertise to support patient health. His medical advice is consistent with his understanding of the patient, and it's never about "just take a pill and it will all be better". Recently, my wife and I were experienced a significant health incident. We both truly appreciate the time and care he provided us following the accident. It's rare that a doctor takes the time with patients to do as thorough an examination as he did. Without hesitation, I believe that Dr. Leib is outstanding; his focus on complete health and quality of life has profoundly impacted my overall health and wellness. Dr. Leib's office is unique, and reflects his attention to detail. He is now located in an old church that he and his wife converted into their office. Both the office and support team are awesome. It's clear to his patients that the office is run with the same attention as his patients. Vivian, Susan and Kathy are each extremely positive and patient as they work with you--whether is't scheduling, reminders, referrals or billing.

Dr. Leib did a visit over the phone and because he took my pain seriously and listened to me he…read moreordered an ultrasound which found a large 6lb. cyst that had grown off my liver and was sitting on my kidney causing me so much discomfort. This lead to going to a specialist at Stanford to have it removed. Thankful that I was listened to and taken seriously and caught it. Grateful for Dr. Leib and his instinct to get an ultrasound.

Having been a chiropractor for over 20 years, I know about non-pharmaceutical-driven healthcare…read more The integrative medicine practiced by Rachel Abrams MD is the future of healthcare, and she is a shining star in that discipline. Rachel excels at determining exactly which lab tests to order, how to interpret them, and then how to prescribe the best supplements to correct the problem. She is especially adept at resolving hormonal issues and cholesterol problems, but can handle any medical problem, and especially preventative care. However, she is also there with a hug at the right time when needed. She is brilliant, caring, and very kind-hearted, and this comes through in her holistic approach. Rachel really helped me and gave me my quality of life back. She listens and takes the time to get to the real root of the problem. I truly trust her and her body of knowledge and can't I imagine not receiving this kind of healthcare. I am super happy with the high-quality healthcare I am getting from Rachel. The only downside to Rachel's practice is that her office does not bill insurance plans and she is not a preferred provider on PPO plans and is not on any HMO plans, so she is out of network. However, this is understandable given that dealing with insurance companies is an unpleasant, full-time job. Therefore, her services are expensive, but are worth it, so overall it's a good value. When it comes to your health, it's really worth it. If you just want to take a pill for the rest of your life and are OK with all of the possible side effects, then integrative medicine is probably not for you. However, if you want to be able to spend quality time with your doctor and be able to talk to and work with your doctor to get to the root of the problem and solve it, and not just mask the symptoms, then Rachel is who you want to see for your healthcare.

Dr. Dave is a very smart, knowledgeable, caring, and respectful Doctor who has been practicing…read morefamily medicine for over 50 years. In his office, he has an Ultrasound machine, a microscope, and some other medical instruments. He can always know what is going on with the patient based on objective & subjective findings and his 50+ years of experiences, and so offer proper advice or options based on the patient's individualized conditions. Timely best possible referrals have saved many people's lives because he knows very well where to direct the patient to go for their further care and treatment. BTW, your heart won't break after you get the bill. The charges are extremely reasonable. His staff, Andrea and Monica, are warm-hearted people who love to help people as well. I know this because I have been in this office for a few years practicing Chinese medicine, providing acupuncture and related services. Just give you a couple of examples: Dr. Dave found my patient's huge tumor with his ultrasound machine upon her first visit and offered her a timely & best possible referral so my patient got very well taken care of; he spent hours and hours trying to find a super specialist who can really solve another patient's very difficult problem in his budget; ... Dr. Dave works beyond office hours everyday. He may follow up with patents, making referrals, talking with his colleagues ... . Even when the patient himself gives up and becomes hopeless, he doesn't. He is trying to work out a solution for everyone no matter how difficult the problem is. I highly recommend Dr. Dave. I sincerely wish he can work until at least 100 years old and can see more patients!!!

The room where I waited was clean and organized, and they had some calming music playing which helped a bit. The assistant asked some questions and wrote down the responses while explaining a couple of things to expect. They seemed attentive and aware of what was going on around them. The doctor came in and had a calm tone which made it easier to explain things. We talked about a few recent changes I've been feeling and they made a few notes while asking clarifying questions. They didn't seem in a rush and actually waited for my full answer before speaking again. They shared some insights and what might be affecting my situation. I liked that they didn't claim to have all the answers right away and left room for follow up. It was a solid experience and the people working there gave off a respectful attitude without being too formal.

She has a wonderful, compassionate disposition. When she is not sure about giving a diagnosis, she will call in one of the other doctors for another opinion. It goes downhill from there.

In all fairness, I have had good experiences from the nurses and one or two front desk staff. I will find out their names and write another review praising them.

He is open to discussing my ideas for treatment, but will tell me in a respectful way when he doesn't believe something is in my best interest, like a wise owl guarding over my health and well-being, looking out for the long term risk/benefit to any approach. He also really cares about me as an individual, and works hard to help me towards my goals. Adam was my doctor in my high school years, and when I moved back to the area, I knew who to go to when I was having some health issues. A real family doctor, he identified my dad's cancer, and supported him through the acute years of chemo after setting him up with a great oncologist. My dad is stable and healthy a decade later. He also treated my grandma (nonny) and came to the bedside of her hospice room during those last days of her long life, sharing stories, laughing with us. He's made a big positive impact on my family.

So PAMF is all I can get for docs given my location and insurance (Aetna - no choice there either)…read more I have had dr coulson in Scott's valley as my PCP for over a decade, I think, since he replace dr conroy. Over the years. I have come to detest more things about PAMF than I benefit from. But my aetna insurance limits me to be pamf. I am 63 and spend about 15k a year for my insurance. 10k premiums and 5k deductible. PAMF has lots of specialists but getting to see one is nearly impossible because... 1) Dr coulson has to see me first and he always makes me wait a few visits with him before granting a referral. 2) if I have not reached my $5k deductible with Aetna, visits to PAMF can run $450 per. This rules out visits for many things I really need help with. Especially mental health... For $450, I will be fine. Except I am not. 3. The specialists wind up referring me to other specialists because they get the diagnosis wrong. I was scheduled for a hip replacement and the week before, they cancelled it because my insurance looked at the X-rays and said yeah that's bad but not that bad. Well it turns out I have sciatica. I cannot describe the pain I have been living with for over a year as PAMF refers and refers and refers. I had trigeminal neuralgia a few years ago. It took me years and many visits to convince the PAMF team to refer me to Stanford. Stanford found the location of my headaches right away and fixed them with only minor brain surgery. I should not have had to wait so long. The same thing happened to me husband, only he has a problem with his pancreas. He wound up at Stanford as well. I am now awaiting my visit to a spine doctor my PCP referred me to. That not until March 9. Meanwhile I have had to go to empowering hands for a leg massage and to five branches for acupuncture. Five Branches is great and cheap. Jake at empowering hands is wonderful but pricey. Still less costly than my insurance co pay.
