Dr a Wang is simply the best! She is through MDVIP, so you need to go through that program to have her, but it's well worth it! She is caring, knowledgeable, compassionate, and extremely responsive and on top of things. She's a keeper! read more

I LOVE every single person who works here. They are all amazing, caring and kind from Juliette and the whole front office to Dr. Wang, Dr. Adraki and their assistants Maria and Denise (respectively)...they all really love their positions and patients and it really shines though the whole practice. I'd give them 100 stars if I could... read more

I have been seeing Dr. Edraki for several years. She is an excellent doctor, so I didn't mind making the trip from the East Bay into the Valley. In 31 years, I have never missed an annual GYN appointment. However, I am caretaker to my elderly parents and due to severe health issues (including my own), time had slipped by and to my horror, I didn't realize I hadn't been to the OB GYN in 2 years. I called to make an appointment and was told I wasn't a patient. I told the office staff I was. The person finally located my file and VERY rudely told me that my file had been purged (or something to that effect). I was a little shocked, but understood that is office policy. However, what I wasn't prepared for was the rude and and condescending tone given to me by the woman with whom I spoke. I never feel the need to explain my life, but the woman was (for some unknown reason) irritated and rude. I found myself saying, "I'm sorry I haven't been there in two years, but I am caretaker to my parents who almost died in the last 2 years." There was absolutely NO sympathy in her response and she just kept up the attitude. She then proceeded to tell me in no uncertain terms that, "You can't get an earlier appointment because you're considered a new patient. Had you been here sooner, you could get in earlier. WOW! Firstly, I never even asked her for an early appointment. I completely understand if I need to wait for an appointment. Secondly, I was absolutely nice to her. I know this because my 21 year old was standing there because SHE was going to make her own appointment and was listening to my conversation. When I hung up, I asked if I sounded rude or nasty during the conversation and she said, "Absolutely not." After hanging up, I realized there are plenty of good doctors out there who have nice office staff and no one has to put up with that kind of treatment. So, I found another GYN doctor for me and my daughter...and yes...I still had to wait over a month to get in, but that was okay because the doctor and staff was WONDERFUL. I called a week later and canceled my appointment with Dr. Edraki. And what happened? Got a call today reminding me of my appointment. I think Avenues for Health needs to train their employees better! read more

Wow! This place blows me away. It is an all women practice for women. The waiting room is comfortable and soothing. The front desk staff is personable and warm. My favorite nurse is Bets. She is super warm and loving. Her kind and supportive words have gotten me through several tough appointments. Dr Ferguson is a life saver. She is gentle, kind and personable. I feel like she always takes the time to listen to me. I've also rec'd a few medical acupuncture treatments from her that seemed to help. I had no idea this jewel of a practice existed until my chiropractor referred me. Highly recommended. Don't be discouraged if it takes 4 - 6 weeks to become a first time patient. Their first time patient appts are 60 minutes and involve a detailed questionaire. They are booked for good reason. As an established patient of the practice, I can usually be seen the same day or within a day of calling for an urgent appt. read more

This review is for Dr Edraki and Dr Wang. I love both of them. Dr Edraki is nice, thorough, takes her time and will answer ALL of your questions. She's helped me through some random moments and I ve always felt confident in her assessment. She's beyond helpful and willing to find solutions that you feel comfortable with while also giving you the highest of medical standards. Denise is hysterical and helps ease any anxiety you may have. Also if you need a B12 shot... get it from her and her alone. For Dr Wang, I was a patient of hers before she switched to MDVIP. If she's accepting new patients and you can afford it... do it. She's amazing. Willing to go holistic route as long as it's medically safe, and will dig to find root cause of issues/symptoms you may be experiencing. She's not to chatty, but she's intelligent and diligent in her work. The cons: Juliette. I used to hang up when she answered the phone. She often times is rude, and for some reason my messages never made it to the dr whenever I left messages with her. (I've learned to just ask for Denise's voicemail). Outside of that everyone is helpful. Especially Wendy. Great addition to front office staff. read more

Dr. Edraki is fantastic! She's extremely intelligent and truly cares about her patients. I've never felt rushed or uncomfortable with her. After my first appointment last year, she forgot to give me info about supplements to take for migraines so she had them mailed to me along with a personal note. I've never had any issue at the front desk (they've always been friendly) and no problem making an appointment (I usually call 2-3 weeks ahead). read more

This yelp review is very overdue. I cannot rave enough about this office. I have been going here for 7+ years and have had nothing short of a wonderful experience. I was so disappointed when I couldn't continue using Dr. Wang during my pregnancy, but after being in a OB office I understand why they continue to not do OB as well. I rarely have to wait longer than 5 minutes, which I've found is very rare in a Dr.'s office. Since there is no OB, you never have to worry about your Dr. being out for a delivery. The office is clean and comfortable. It has a great selection of magazines and water and tea. I love that it is an all women's office. The ladies at the front desk always greet me with a smile. I never hear them grumbling (which I hear too often in other Dr.'s offices) and they are constantly upbeat and positive. I use Dr. Wang for my primary care (she is an internist and offers acupuncture). She has such a soothing voice and is a wonderful listener. She always makes sure she has touched on all my questions and concerns. I have come to care for her so much, sometimes I wish I could come down with something so I can see her! ;) She is very knowledgeable and up to date on the latest research. I wouldn't use anyone else! I use Dr. Edraki as my gynecologist and she is very thorough and makes you very comfortable. She is easy to talk to and nothing short of professional. She has worked with me through numerous gynecological conditions and I have always found her to be supportive and prompt in calling me with test results or last minute questions or concerns. read more

I see Dr Edraki who is very patient, thorough and you never feel rushed. She is a good listener and responds to everything you're there for. Always a positive experience with all staff whether it's front office folks, or the intake nurse. They're a great group! read more

Dr Edraki is AMAZING! She is very nice & very personable. I am always very nervous to go into the doctors no matter if it's a simple check up or an advance procedure, but she makes me feel comfortable and is very detailed in explaining what she is doing or needs to do. A few months ago, I had a procedure that did not go as anticipated & she was very understanding. She said she wanted to stop and have me come back a few weeks later. Her assistant was also wonderful as she was able to squeeze me in for my next appointment as soon as I was able to finish the procedure. I have never felt so relived to have a team that is as passionate about the care of their patients as they are. I am so happy I found Dr Edraki and her team! read more

Dr. Tanees Edraki was my doctor for years. I had my yearly Mammogram in May and was called back for more tests. After a biopsy, Dr. Edraki called me to tell me I had cancer. The report stated that my cancer had metastasized and they were not sure where. She referred me to an awesome Breast Surgeon, Dr. Deborah Kerlin. She also received approval right away for me to have a PT Pet Scan to determine where the cancer was in my body. After I had the Pet Scan, Dr. Tanees Edraki called me to tell me it was only in my lymph node under my right arm and had not metastasized. She said it seemed to be Lymphoma and once I had the lymph node removed I would be fine. I never heard from Dr. Edraki again! Not one check in, not a single phone call to see how I was doing! The lymph node was removed and it was clear. The cancer was in the tissue around the swollen lymph node! I ended up having breast cancer, stage 0 after all my tests were sent to UCSF and took 3 weeks for diagnosis. I ended up having two surgeries and am now on Tamoxifen for the next 5 years. I was blessed my cancer was found early (because I always have my yearly mammogram) and I did not need Chemo or Radiation. I would have appreciated a check in from my doctor during this very stressful time in my life! I have since found a new doctor, Dr. Michelle Riopelle, and have let all my friends know who go to Dr. Edraki how awful my care had been during my illness! Doctors need to be caring and follow up with their patients! I'm not even sure she knows I had breast cancer and not Lymphoma, or if she knows I had two surgeries? Very sad! I also believe I had cancer because of the hormones Dr. Edraki had prescribed me for the last three years for peri menopause. Really, really do your research before you go on hormones! Too much controversy over them and not worth it! read more

If you don't mind office staff with the personalities of DMV employees and Doctors that intentionally leave you waiting 60 minutes or longer for a 3 minute exam, then this place is just fine. Wait times are a MINIMUM of 30 minutes as it is their policy to book you 30 minutes PRIOR to when they -think- the Dr *might* be able to see you. Example: if you have a 9am appt the Dr won't even be in the office until 9:30, factor in another 10 minutes once she arrives to put down her purse, use the facilities, etc and you can guarantee you won't be seen until 9:45 or later. The women that run the front desk are often curt, sometimes downright rude and have zero people skills. They are often stacked five deep with all of them gossiping and doing nothing at the same time while the waiting room remains completely neglected. Once in the exam room expect another long wait for the shortest exam you can imagine. Another reviewer her mentioned Dr Edraki "doesn't mess around' and that is a very accurate and polite way to put it. Her ultra brief exam lasts less than 3 minutes. But that's fine because you will be instructed to NOT ask any questions during your exam and to make another appointment if you have other concerns or questions. Several years ago another doctor (Dr Spain) used to run the practice and under her careful rule the office ran smoothly, the shrews were kept busy and in check, and the exams were thorough and care-based: NOT ANYMORE. read more

Front desk staff needs some basic training on customer service! I was trying to schedule an appointment with the doctor here based on the good reviews on yelp. At first this lady picked up the phone and yelled "CAN YOU HOLD?!", ok sure, I understand they can be busy... One minute later, when I asked if I can make an appointment, she said the doctor is not taking new patient. So I nicely asked her when or will the doctor take new patient. And she sounded impatient 'I SAID THE DOCTOR IS NOT TAKING NEW PATIENT AT THIS TIME!' and hang up on me. If you don't mind getting yelled at by the front desk, try this place. I'll keep looking for good doctors around this area instead. read more

Dr Pamela Wang is the most caring and knowledgeable physician. You are lucky to have her. The staff are courteous caring and professional. Love this doctor and her team. read more

My interactions with Dr. Denevi at this place have been fabulous. She is kind, considerate and willing to listen to her patients' concerns. She also explains in detail her thinking behind any diagnosis she renders, as well as what steps she takes to get there. She also consults regarding herbal supplements and natural remedies in addition to prescription medication. I strongly recommend her. Generally, everyone seems to me to be very well-meaning. I think it depends very much on which front desk worker patients talk to. I've had several less-than-decent interactions with these individuals but also some solid ones. However, I think we can all agree, ladies, that what really matters in a gynecological exam is our interactions with our actual doctor. Therefore, if you can afford to come here, I suggest you treat yourself! read more

Wow....exceptional Doctors, unfortunately can't say the same about the front desk staff. Very short and unfriendly on the phone and found the same to be true in the office. Seeing a doctor is not always a good experience, the last thing you need is to be treated poorly by their staff. I'm opting for another women's practice. read more

The staff here is awful! They are not helpful in scheduling appointments and seem to only care about getting paid. They do not take an interest in ensuring patients get follow up or their questions answered. I saw Dr, Edraki who was nice and competent, but her nurse was rude, and when she called me with test results, she was combative. When I tried to call for a follow up appointment, the receptionist just said "it will be really hard for you to get an appointment". What? For a Dr. office, the care was unacceptable. Would definitely never recommend them or ever return. read more

Coming from a rather unsatisfying experience from a previous BHRT doctor, I must say that I am THRILLED to have found Dr. Tina Edraki. She makes you feel comfortable talking about anything and doesn't mess around. Absolutely no problems getting refills when you need them and nice staff. She is just super easy to talk to and gets you to that Zen place we should all be!! read more

This review is for Dr. Wang only. She NEVER returns phone calls and the front staff has all kinds of excuses about them being busy. Hmmmm, guess they never heard of calling after hours to leave a message. Its because of her I was unable to get my inhaler that I need to breath. RX was called to wrong pharmacy (CVS) which billed my insurance before I'd even picked it up and therefore I was unable to get it at my usual pharmacy. 3 yrs ago she was insistent I needed genetic testing said she'd call back but again, never has. Today I get a recorded phone call that she's going to a new practice and to come to her meeting. She can't call me when I request it, but only calls me about her new insurance partnership. MY CONCLUSION IS THIS WOMAN ONLY CARES ABOUT MONEY, DEFINATELY NOT PATIENT CARE. read more

Love Dr. Edraki she's caring and spends time listening to you and her treatment plan is always spot on. The nurse Denise always calls if I have questions and spends time with me. Juliette and Carol are always friendly. Very friendly office staff!! read more

No matter how nervous you get when you go to a doctor, you will be calmed by Dr. Wang's personality. She listens to your worries or complaints and offers suggestions. She also is open to a holistic approach and seems willing to let you go that route. It is hard to find a medically trained physician that isn't pushing pills on you. The office staff is welcoming and polite on the phone. I am fortunate not to have any major health issues, but I know that Dr. Wang would be able to support me in my needs or refer me to a specialist if It were necessary. Two thumbs up, Dr. Wang! read more

Why to bother with reviews if doctors in this office DO NOT ACCEPT new patients? Made me waste my time researching, reviewing... and calling. I used to be patient of Dr. Wang, moved to another state and came back. "After 7 years, you are considered a new patient" ,??? Just take this office off Yelp read more

I'm so grateful I found Dr. Karin DeNevi and the Avenues for Heatlh team to handle my post-menopausal and breast cancer survivor concerns! After each annual checkup, I leave the office with remedies that work. The day she told me about the MonaLisa Touch (monalisatouch.com), I knew I was a perfect candidate. My husband and I were surprised and delighted to notice an improvement within a week of the first treatment, and now we are back to our old tricks. It's hard to believe that this short, in-office treatment and the minor irritation that follows can rejuvinate the delicate tissues that were limiting our sex life! read more

It took me forever to find a decent doctor and I finally did. Dr Pamela Wang is a real person who cares about you and your health. I have her now as my GP and I feel blessed. She really cares and great at what she does. read more

This women's group is amazing and I especially recommend them for young adults or teens. Dr. Edraki is wonderful, caring, open, intelligent and just a fantastic doctor. Dr. Denevi is extremely intelligent, hard working and caring. If you are a mom, go to them. If you need a doctor for your teenage girl, she will be in good hands with these women. read more

If you appreciate politeness and professional service, don't bother making an appointment here. If you don't mind arriving 15 minutes early as requested and then sitting for 45 minutes with no apology or explanation from the doctor, then make an appointment with Dr Dinevi. During the course of my stay in the waiting room, she wandered into the receptionist area twice and ignored the staff person who said that her next patient is waiting. Rude and inconsiderate are words that fit my experience at the appointment I had waited 3 months for! read more

I almost hate to give Doctor Wang another good review because then everyone will want to be her patient! She is such a good doctor. She actually listens to her patients. She is highly intelligent and really can come up with a good diagnosis when it is needed. And her nurse, Maria, is equally as good. Another thing I appreciate is that you do not have to wait an unreasonable amount of time for your appointment. Just can not say enough good things about Doctor Wang and her practice. read more

I called the office in order to find out about hormonal replacement therapy. I was told buy my family care doctor that I cannot have it due to my condition. Very unpleasant person at the desk told me that they can not have a five minutes free consultation with Dr. Tina Edraki, that I have to pay $275 .It tells me that this doctor doesn't want to help she just want to make money!!!! read more

I have been a patient for about 3 years and I can't believe how great this office is. There is a really easy feeling right when you walk in the door. Dr. Wang is SMART and takes time to explain things. I have nver felt like my appts have been rushed. My health is much better since finding this practice. read more

Love dr Edraki and i refuse to go see anyone else. She's helped me tremendously with my extreme exhaustion amongst other things. I used to go to Stanford for an auto-immune disease but she has managed to get it under control by bringing all my vitamin/mineral levels up and my stored iron. Love her! There's a wait but i don't mind. But basically that's why i only gave it 4 stars. read more

I have been a patient in this office for 10+ years and it certainly has seen better days. As a registered nurse I am well aware of the variety of patients and personalities a medical practice can have to handle. I have found that over the past few years the front desk has certainly forgotten how to be professional and how to deal with patients in a unruffled manner. They are abrupt on the phone and in person. I have had wonderful physicians in this office. Drs. Ferguson, Dr. Spain and her husband Dr. Kimble were professional, thorough, and compassionate. Sadly they have all moved to new areas, or retired. Dr. Kanwal has now also left this office, and I must question why?? When asked if another internist in this office was available to take Dr. Kanwals patients....I was told that the one in the office was just to busy to take any more patients. Umm.....glad to be moving on. Please note the positive reviews here that mention Drs. Spain and Dr Ferguson. Realize that they are no longer in this practice. read more

I was shocked reading some of these reviews. I have had nothing but positive experiences with Avenues for Health. I have found the front desk ladies to be busy, but friendly and even chatty when time allows. I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes in the waiting room and maybe another 5 in the exam room. While I don't think I would describe Dr. Edraki as warm and fuzzy she is certainly caring. All 3 times I have seen her I have been impressed with the way that she sits down and speaks with me eye to eye, fully engaged in the conversation. I have never felt the " am the doctor and you know nothing" aire that is common to many doctors. I went in for hormone imbalance issues and they gave me an extensive questionnaire to fill out, Dr. Edraki spent quite a bit of time with me discussing my answers and asking additional questions. She ordered an extensive blood panel and when the results came back she took the time to go through the results with me line by line, explaining what was tested, what a normal result is and why it is important. She found exactly what was off in my body and it was completely opposite of what my other doctor kept trying to treat. She prescribed bio-identical hormone therapy, which I love, and encouraged me to contact her if I had any questions or if anything changed. I have also been back for my annual appointment and found her friendly and not rushed. Her PA has always been friendly as well. I recommend Avenues for Health and particularly Dr. Edraki to everyone! read more

Dr. Pamela Wang is one-of-a-kind. I am so sad she doesn't accept my new insurance and will be going elsewhere after 12+ years with her. She is kind, patient, smart, practical, relatable and knows her stuff. I'll miss you! read more

Intelligent, friendly, efficient, and thorough.... Dr. Edraki and her nurse are excellent. When I show up I barely have time to flip through a magazine (they have many good choices) before being called to my appointment. I recommend you write down your questions and concerns so you remember everything you want addressed. Dr. Edraki is an excellent listener and quick to get to the core of an issue and develop a plan that works for your lifestyle. She is also regarded highly by my endocrinologist as the area specialist in women's hormones and they share lab results to ensure I get the best possible and complete care. read more

I see DR. Denevi now for many years. It is a cash practice but the rates are very reasonable. I think last appointment I paid $190 for about a half an hour appointment, I like DR. Denvi as she is thorough and I d not feel as I am being rushed. She appears to spend all the time I need. Quite happy to be with this office. read more

This private practice focuses on women, particularly women over the age of 40 and issues related to peri-menopause and menopause. . Dr. Ferguson is an astute internist who also practices acupuncture. She is expert at listening and problem solving. Dr. Denevi is a superb gynecologist. She is very knowledgeable, thorough, kind and capable of collaboratively developing a plan to improve your life. The office staff is organized and friendly, always helpful. Being a patient in this office always conveys a sense of being heard and receiving state-of-the-art knowledge/response to one's care needs. read more

After seeing a Gynecologist in Fremont, for years, I was referred to Dr. Edraki from my friend. I was looking for someone that focused on 'The Mature' woman and Menopause. I'm so happy with her, she is kind and informative. I did not have any issues with the front office staff as stated by others. read more

The doctor I have never encountered a problem with other than some of them do not accept insurance making this very inconvenient. Other than that, one of the staff members at the front is unbearable here I have so many times tried to make an appointment and every time I get a hold of one lady it seems to be a challenge for her and it some how seems to take weeks longer than with any other staff member. She is fairly new(with in the last year or two) and did not have much of a problem with this place until she had been hired on... upon her hiring on I consistently did not receive messages that I needed to receive from the doctor as well as trying to get a message from the doctor or give a message to the doctor is impossible for her. It is obviously this lady is determined to make everyone else life just as miserable. Her tone and way of speaking AT you is very demeaning and condescending. My last run in with her I had to call her over and over to check and see that my prescription got faxed in before they closed. She refused to give me the prescription on my offering to come pick it up, and assured me it would be faxed over before she had left four hours later (after I had gotten very angry)... In my opinion it should not take them 5 HOURS to fax a prescription I was waiting for... not to mention it being written wrong. I did thoroughly enjoy coming here until my run in with this individual staff member and am sad to say that this one person has caused a loss for my business. read more

I started seeing Dr Edraki for Bioidentical Hormone replacement and she is great for this. She ordered a full blood workup and then a followup appointment. Overall I am extemely satisfied... the downside. My time is valuable as is the Dr's so I expect if I have a 15 or 30 minute appt that is all I should be there. I have had 2 in office appointments and both times I spent way too much time waiting it took me over 90 minutes from the time I entered the reception area to leave. I also feel that the prices charged are pretty high but because I have fabulous insurance, I don't end up paying them. I like Dr. Edraki's manner she is direct and very professional, if you are looking for a warm fluffy experience you will not get it here, she seems to really know her stuff around BHRT and womens midlife issues. I hope they improve the wait times ...I could see it if I was mid stream appointments for the day and some ran late but I always try to be the first appointment of the say or the first one after lunch, so I don't have to wait. I also agree with the other reviews the staff is not warm or friendly especially if you show inpatience at being made to wait for your appointment or worse taken into a room to sit waiting for the Dr. to come in. I will revise this if things change over my next few appointments. read more
