From my first visit to Dr. Hurray, I felt confident that my feet were in the hands of someone with the experience and expertise to correct problems that have been plaguing me for years. Not only did he address the problems that I was aware of, but also identified other issues with my feet which I was unaware of. No other podiatrist has done that and taken time to communicate all their observations and options on how to deal with them. Besides that, he was personable and had a great sense of humor throughout the visit. I never felt like he was in a rush to get to his next appointment. I followed up my visit with bunion surgery and still cannot believe how quickly I am back on my feet and without severe pain as I had been after my previous bunion surgeries. I highly recommend Dr. Hurray for the rare quality of his care and his delightful and caring bedside manner. Gail

He said the landscape of my toe had changed and he could not guarantee the new nail would ever grow out normally/ He offered to prescribe a medication that could adversely affect my liver which was a big concern for me because I was already on medication for low kidney function. He failed to do a scraping of the black discoloration on the new nail which my internist said he should have. I have ingrown toenails and when he tried to trim the right big toenail to relieve the pressure, he cut it and it bled profusely. His nurse only offered me a bandaid and sent me on my way. My internist prescribed some topical medication so I would have no problems with my liver from the medication Dr Brenis was going to prescribe which required lab tests on my liver beforehand... Since that time my toenail has grown out normally, contrary to what Dr Brenis said. I would not go back there again, even to see another doctor in The Foot Doctor office where he practices.

Dr. Kathleen M. Halat, DPM, has been the best podiatrist we have ever seen in our family! Happily,…read moreshe has helped us keep and improve our overall health through her excellent care, preventative medicine, expertise, orthodics, PT referrals and even her injections for procedures or other shots when we needed them. If anyone is a current patient of hers, we'd love to know where she is practicing now. All her staff were fantastic in every interaction. Front desk staff are pleasant, professional, efficient, and up there with the best of any medical staff. Her team caring for patients also was excellent. We had had, unhappily, a large number of issues from toes to ankle and in between that had caused us pain and poorer health before we were lucky enough to be able to see her. Our walking and mobility limitations were maintained and even improved by her with every one of our many, many visits, over more than a decade of her dedicated and excellent care. We had seen a few other podiatrists over the decades for some major on minor procedures. One was good, and two made several errors. We were so happy to find a doctor who went the extra mile, so to speak. Please note, I'm not trying to suggest that this last health org where she practiced has excellent or even good specialist services. You have to wait many, many months for your 20 minute appointment. That is due to the shortage of specialists, not due to anything her staff can do. But she has been the best for us! We sure hope that others will be able to benefit from her expertise and even TLC.

I would've given 5 stars, but I ended up going to her Physician's assistant one day for a recast. His cast was super lumpy, uneven and caused some major discomfort. I do not recommend going to anyone but Dr Halet because I ended up having to return the next day to get recasted again. Since I can't drive, it was tough for me to do, but I managed. This prob has less to do with Dr Halet and more to do with PAMF, but it affected my overall experience. I'm hoping he gets trained better. All in all, I recommend Dr Halet and am grateful she's my doctor!

I had a frozen shoulder, my second in the last 10 years. MRI confirmed the Dx. Two weeks prior to…read morethis post I had the arthroscopy with MUA (manipulation under anesthesia). After the nerve block wore off I had and still do have a great deal of pain. I never had a lot of contact with Dr. Welle himself - some pre op, the day of surgery, and a post op. I believe everything's gone to plan. Everything was explained by him personally as well as two PAs. The way I see it working at Sutter is the physicians do the surgical procedures while the PAs manage the cases - communications, Rx, meet with the patients. For example, the PA issued a nausea patch to wear behind my ear 2 days prior and the day prior to surgery. Anesthesia makes me nauseous and I had that experience this past November for bladder surgery. The PA manages my pain meds and has written the Rx for them. Any questions I have gone to the Sutter portal and communicate directly to the PA. Like I said, Dr Welle himself has had several meetings with me for Q&As. No problems. No attitude problems, no communication problems, and so forth. This was my 3rd orthopedic experience on myself and 6th orthopedic experience overall between myself and other immediate members of my family. I had no problems at all. I had and still do have complete trust in Dr. Welle and his staff. If you understand how Sutter works then things go smoothly and as expected. Use the Sutter communication portal (MyHealthOnline.org. or something like that) after you've become an established patient and they respond within a reasonable time.

I had an x-ray taken about 6 months before that showed my cartilage was very thin in the area. I had a steroid shot that helped for several weeks by his colleague. My pain had gotten really bad radiating to my knee and down from my hip. Dr. Christophersen said that pain in my knee and down wasn't associated with the hip which isn't true. He wanted me to get another opinion and I would have to go over the hill to the San Jose area to a doctor, I was already in so much pain, He didn't seem to care. His colleague thankfully gave me the name of an orthopedic surgeon from Golden State Medical Group in Capitola. Each time you see a doctor it takes a month to get an appointment, This Dr. took an x'ray. In a month he scheduled me for hip replacement surgery. He also did the anterior approach with is a much quicker recovery than the posterior approach which Dr. Christoffersen performs. Its been four months and I am back at Zumba with little pain. I am thankful to have been sent to this doctor by his colleague. I really felt like Dr. Christophersen had no sympathy for my pain. He could have taken another x-ray and seen it was deteriorating. If you are having hip surgery go to Golden State. I was able to cross over from Palo Alto Medical foundation, thankfully!
