Well Crap... Doc has RETIRED! NOOOOOOOOO!!…read more I had the pleasure of seeing Seymour for over 25+ years. About as long as I've had "real" healthcare! LOL. Anytime I called I could get in and see him. He was always no nonsense which I appreciated. I dont need someone blowing sunshine up my rear although with the yearly physical it felt like he was searching for sunshine up there. Doc if you ever read this... Youll be missed by those that APPRECIATED your care and approach to medicine. I was in... waited... in comes the Doc... looks at me, examines me.. Some of my favorites?? Stop running over your foot with a loaded pallet jack, your gonna walk funny, if you continue to have off road motorcycle accidents your pelvis may really break and the hole in your kneecap will eventually heal but please stop grinding metal without safety glasses as digging iron out of your eyeball is tedious. lol lol. Those were some of the memorable ones. I truly hope you enjoy your retirement and again Im glad I was assigned to you MANY years ago.

I have been seeing Dr. Zlock and his staff since La Casa Via, handling my diabetes since I was…read morediagnosed with Type II in High School. While we haven't successfully eradicated my diabetes, which whole-heartedly, is an issue with my own discipline than anything else, Dr. Zlock has been with me every step of the way. He keeps logs of his patients, not just on their diabetes journey, but their life Journey, and a Doctor willing to do that, is a Doctor who cares. So he knows about my employment journey, my post grad work, and current work, I walk in, and it's like catching up. We have worked through our medications, and we have seen that when I am determined, ie: Exercising and Dieting, low carb, calorie deficit, higher protein, my a1c goes back down to a good range, my Triglycerides and cholesterol get within check, and all my vitals look good. However it's hard to stay motivated like that, and I fall off, and Dr. Zlock is there to mix up my medication, and let me know that I've gotta try harder, or the perils of Diabetes will catch up to me. I have always had good relations with the staff, never any problems. I get in, their nice, vitals checked, good catching up, I call in for medication updates or prescriptions, and they get to it promptly. Sonya (sonja? spellign please?) has always been there to figure out my logistics. All in all, I cannot recommend Dr. Zlock and his staff enough. If you are in the need for a modern day Endocrinologist.... this man, is THE MAN.

Douglas Zlock is a very very good doctor. My 87-year-old father, a retired physician, has been…read moreseeing him for multiple health issues, and he has been knowledgeable, courteous, and informative at all of our office visits. Obviously Dr. Zlock has a great deal of experience, and both myself and my father are appreciative of his level of expertise. His staff, however, are a different matter altogether. It is disconcerting to call in about a prescription 2 months after a visit, and the staff can't find a record of it, and when they do (hours later) they insist they must call Dr. Zlock to confirm it. He's prescribing insulin, for godsake, not Class I narcotics. Plus the doctor works in the John Muir Health network, where everything is painstakingly documented -- even I can read the doctor's comments from the last visit online. How can his office staff possibly not know the end result of my dad's last visit? Unbelievable. So I give Dr Zlock a great review, but I have to temper it with a very real concern about the effectiveness of his staff. Put somebody in charge there who has a clue about patient care!

I am surprised by the negative reviews here. I have had no bad experiences with Dr. Zeiger and he…read morehas made several good diagnoses that have made a difference in my quality of life and life span. He is willing to work on a problem until there is a solution. On the other hand, he has made a couple of referrals to specialists, one of which was life saving. Who cares about communication skills or related matters if the individual with whom you have placed your health and well being is a stand up, square shooter and an excellent doctor. And yes, his practice is full but, IMHO, he is worth the wait if your needs are not urgent.

I've been his patient for 8 years…read more Best doctor I ever had. He listens to you carefully and thinks deeply about what he hears. He takes everything seriously. He then formulates a plan and explains it fully. The staff follows up with a call after any test results come back and he follows up with another appointment if needed. Nothing gets dropped. The next time you see him, he's fully up on your case. I find him to be terrific personality-wise, but he is all business until the medical issues are fully addressed. I'm never nervous about my health because of my full confidence in Dr. Zeiger.

All of the previous 1 star reviews are completely true and valid!…read more I am writing this review on behalf of my brother who has a slight mental disability. Dave has been a patient of Dr Harpole for 10 years and has always expressed to me how rude the lady at the desk was but I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt. In the past Dave was diagnosed as Pre-diabetic and has both diabetes and heart disease in the family. Blood work was done two months ago and because of Daves work schedule and the Dr's shortened hours, he was just now able to schedule the bloodwork review. Going in, Dave had mentioned that he had seen a urologist regarding a prostate issue and was scheduled for a procedure to recify the problem. Dr Harpole discussed the prostate problem and then an audible "buzzer" went off signaling the end of the appointment! Dr Harpole not only rushed him out of the office but refused to even address the 2 month old blood work telling him he now needed to make yet another appointment to go over them!!! When he asked Sandra at the desk she refused to even give him any copies until Dr Harpole "released" them. The Dr did manage to litterally scribble on a piece of paper a couple of notes regarding the results and all we could make out was "borderline diabetic." Daves father passed due to complications from diabetes and Dr Harpole is well aware of this! I then made a call to Sandra asking what had happened and she told me she could not release anything without the Dr's approval even though that's what the appointment was scheduled for in the first place. The prostate issue was completely taken care of and under control. Here's the whole crux of the experience...Dave's urologist whom he had only met one time actually took the time to call me from HER HOME and spend 20 minutes talking to me to find out more about Dave because she's a doctor who CARES and is in practice for all the right reasons. I remember delivering UPS to Dr Harpole back in 1981 and thinking it's probably time to retire since there seems to be an obvious burn out issue here. I will also be contacting John Muir and the Medical board regarding his practice. Please don't waste your time or money dealing with this business and hopefully this will save at least one person the experience. Thanks for reading...

I called my insurance and American Board of Medical and file complain again this office, both said: that's not right for them to over charge you for office visit copay, they were surprised by Dr Patrick Harpole office behavior. ******PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS DOCTOR'S OFFICE BY ALL MEANS NECESSARY, NOT WORTH IT, TOTAL WAIST OF TIME******

And he has a sharp sense of humor, and always makes me laugh. Also sometimes I email him, and he always responds quickly, which I appreciate. My only complaint is not about him, but the office, I think. Once I asked the office to give me a couple of appointments with him as I had a lot to cover. It turned out I had all of 15 minutes. I'm not sure if this is a problem with this office or with insurance, but I felt a little rushed. That aside, Dr. B. is one of my all time favorite docs.

I have been seeing Dr. Chow-Kwan for four years now and think she is the best Doctor I have ever…read morehad. Dr. Chow-Kwan really takes the time to listen to you, asks excellent questions relating to your visit and is an all around great person and great Doctor. One of my favorite traits of Dr. Chow-Kwan is that she will not just refer to you to a specialist for a strange problem. Both my wife and I have had some strange, one-off (non-chronic) medical issues that Dr. Chow-Kwan has taken a keen interest in and treated wonderfully. I feel very comfortable with her care, methodology and experience. When Dr. Chow-Kwan is not there, you can feel comfortable seeing any of the other Doctors in the practice. They are all great and in the same league with Dr. Chow-Kwan. The office is always well staffed, works out digital prescriptions with you favorite pharmacy, is courteous and will work with you to get you in if you are sick. Oh, and one other thing, I have never had a Doctor call me after a trip to the ER until I joined Dr. Chow-Kwan's practice. I seem to end up in the ER more often then the average (but again, for one-off strange items!) and when Dr. Chow-Kwan called me to follow up, I was blow away. I highly recommend Dr. Chow-Kwan and would be happy to talk more with anyone considering a great Family Practice and Internal Medicine Doctor off line. Just drop me a note!
