My wife and I have been going to Dr Shamala (her last name is very long so she goes by her first…read morename) approximately 4 years. I've be in the medical device field for cardiovascular medicine in R&D and acquisition for the last 27 years and ironically have heart disease, really bad cholesterol and challenges with some of the key medications along with a couple of other issues. Thus I've have plenty of interactions. Short story--I recommend Dr Shamala without reservation. Going to her is like hiring a boutique Doctor where you pay a couple of thousand dollars a year, cash, to have them really spend time with you. Dr Shamala pays attention to you as though she was dealing with a family member. She is very knowledgeable and if she is unsure or doesn't know, admits it freely and will look it up with you real time and discuss what she finds and what you want to do. If you want someone to just guide your therapy, she is very comfortable and confident in that. If like me, you want a really smart, kind, caring, listening, and knowledgeable doctor to work with you and spend time. You've hit the jackpot. Dr Shamal is also fairly easy to get an appointment within the week. Hopefully my and the other great reviews won't change that too much.

I'm honestly surprised to see so many 5-star reviews. I recently lost my primary care physician,…read morewho was truly exceptional--she was always available on short notice when I was sick and built a strong, trusting relationship with me over time. Since transitioning to Dr. Shamala, my experience has been very disappointing. Appointments are booked several months out, which defeats the purpose of having a primary care provider. When you're sick, you need timely access--not a long wait that forces you to rely on urgent care visits, as I've had to do multiple times. When I asked about the delays, I was told there are simply too many patients. That response was concerning. It feels like the focus is on taking on more patients rather than properly caring for existing ones. During the one appointment I was able to get (scheduled three months in advance), I felt rushed, as if the priority was moving quickly to the next patient rather than providing thoughtful care. Maybe my previous doctor set a very high bar, but this experience has been frustrating and disappointing. Accessibility and patient relationship are fundamental to primary care, and unfortunately, that has not been my experience here.

I had been putting off getting a colonoscopy for about 5 years because I really didn't like the…read moreidea and couldn't find a doctor I felt comfortable with. I actually chose a couple of doctors before but ended up canceling both times. Finally, after more searching, I found Dr. Kristina Hobson in Los Gatos. To be honest, when I first walked into her office, I was already looking for an excuse to cancel again. But once I spoke with her, I was really impressed with her knowledge and the way she explained everything, so I decided to keep my appointment. Today was my procedure at Silicon Valley Surgery Center, and I had such a great experience. The facility was clean, calm, and very nice. Every single person I interacted with was wonderful. From the front desk to Barbara, who helped review my paperwork everyone was kind and welcoming. My first nurse, Kay, was incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and professional. When she went on break, Nicole took over she was also amazing. I'm not a fan of needles at all, but she did my IV so gently and with so much care. Then Kat, the third nurse, took me to the procedure room she was kind, calm, and very professional. Dr. Michael Block, the anesthesiologist, was excellent. He actually texted me the night before to ask if I wanted to review everything ahead of time or on the day of the procedure, which I really appreciated. We exchanged a few messages, and then he spoke with me again before the procedure and explained everything clearly. He was confident, knowledgeable, and very reassuring. In the procedure room, I fell asleep within seconds and woke up quickly afterward feeling great. Within about 30 minutes, I felt completely fine. I was even able to take calls and respond to emails. And now, about Dr. Hobson ,she is truly a 10 out of 10. Honestly, the entire experience was 10 out of 10. From the office to the surgery center, every single nurse and staff member was exceptional. I'm a very detail-oriented and perfectionist person because of my job, so I don't say this lightly. Something I was so scared of and postponed for 5 years turned into such a smooth and positive experience. Thank you to everyone

Just an update to piggyback my previous review 4 years ago.

I continue to see her as the toxin issue in my body has caused so many symptoms and no other doctor has ever tried to address the issue, just cover up symptoms. Many of them have improved. When new or old symptoms pop up, she addresses them head on with a treatment plan. I originally saw her at her previous clinic but was seen recently in her "new" location. It's absolutely lovely - warm and inviting just like the doctor and staff! Dr. Fashandi goes above and beyond to help and responds even outside of office hours to make sure the patient is taken care of. She is an amazing doctor and human being and I'm so thankful for her!

I also want to highlight the incredible experience I had with Amutha, the nurse practitioner I saw before my appointment with Dr. B (both at Sutter Health). She was equally amazing, kind, thorough, and attentive. She made me feel comfortable right away and took the time to listen and address all of my concerns with genuine care. I gave her an INTENSE list of symptoms I have been having and she genuinely took the time to address all of them, making me feel so heard/seen. I left both of my appointments feeling reassured and in good hands. It's such a relief to have providers I trust completely.
