The man is a genius, such a rare find…read more Due to my medical issues i had -and have-to go through a serious battle with local endocrinology over the past few years, until lack of treatment and even basic respect from their part led me to become completely disabled. I am talking can barely take care of daily functions, and not "can't have a job"disabled. Let's put it this way: unless you have a clear-cut, non-complicated, by-the-book disorder, it's not a problem to find a great doctor. If you have something like I was blessed with, radiation-induced, untreatable horrifying drug-resistant thyroid shit, good luck getting anyone to listen to you. This man is a Vietnam war vet, a traditionally trained M.D. with training in holistic (no, its not a cuss word made up by hippies-it means nutrition, bio-identical hormone therapies, general disease prevention and an open mind fused together in one skillful approach). He's been around the world acquiring medical and spiritual knowledge alike and is unlike some other independent practitioners around town bases his knowledge on advances in modern science, and does a lot of research in order to successfully combine standard and alternative (hate this word as well because it usually means "new medical research your closed-minded specialist forgot to read") treatments. He would listen to you and pay attention, it actually seems important to him what you feel and think regarding your condition. He does not misdiagnose you on the spot so he can get rid of you, and will take many paths to figure out how to help, as old-fashioned family doctors like my grandmother did. I only pray now that I could be treated, and we could figure out a way, we've kinda lost hope. Even if not, i would be proud to have known him. Breath of fresh air in the sea of self-important, egotistical, close-minded pricks who are abundant in this field of study today. He reminds me of my Grandfather- a decorated war vet as well, with a sharp, inquisitive mind, good sense of humor and a bit of healthy skepticism and no-bullshit attitude thrown into the mix. Great person, great doctor. Seeing him is not cheap, but its well worth it because our life is not a rehearsal no matter what Jehovah's witnesses tell ya :-), this health is only one we've got.

I went in thinking ...finally an open minded physician. I am 71 and have experienced great doctors…read moreand feelings of disgust with others. My first visit went well. Extensive labs and purchasing minerals and alternative medication. A very expensive visit Plus the cost of extras. All were to billed to Medicare. It was not done. the doctor was surprised the billing was not done and told the staff to do it. it has never been done and now it is too late to do. The subsequent visits I paid for and had to bill Medicare. They never paid. I live a long distance from this doctor and have decided to look for another Primary Care Doctor. When I asked for a list of my medical diagnosis's and a opinion of how long it would take me to move for a mediator to get an extension on my lease. I was told it would take three weeks and cost $150. ( For four or five sentences on a prescription pad !) They then said they would send a note. And the note said that they would need to evaluate me and I needed to make an office visit @ $350. a visit. This note came after 2 1/2 weeks of waiting. I also asked for a prescription for a new breast prosthesis and they sent on with out the diagnosis code! When I asked for the code They are ignoring me and the shop that called them directly for the code.. What kind of greedy sadistic treatment is this. Run and run fast from this office and doctor. Its all about the money and your health is meaning less to this doctor....

I decided to give Aromatherapy a try and book an hour appointment at Blue tansy. I loved how professional Geraldine was, a bit like a doctor who would have the time the look into your medical history and ask the right questions. She conducted a thorough investigation of my symptoms history and lifestyle and I felt understood which is really appreciated. For our second meeting she had a list of recommendations and products that she created especially for me and that she felt I should give a try. I was reassured by the fact that she is one of the only two therapists in the city who is certified and she explained how she sources her essential oils from the best organic companies around the world. They are now part of my daily routine and I love them!

Her products are pure and super safe. if you go that route, give her a try. it's truly does make a difference. .

I had already arranged to take time off with a prior surgeon for conversion, either my prior surgeons office drop the ball or my insurance did. During the end of the year in the middle of the holiday season, they both did everything they could to make it happen. I am feeling better than I have in years extremely happy I decided to go with Dr Rabkin. I am very happy with my results this far and excited for the end result. St Mary's nurses, anesthesiologist, my pre op, post op and hospital stay.. the best medical team and hospital care I have had. Beyond my expectations and above what I have received at John Muir Health. I don't have the words or the means to express my gratitude for all of you. If you have a choice, give Dr Rabkin and his team the opportunity to see if they can help you. I am certain you will not regret it.

I then decided to search for him here on yelp and the previous reviews scared me a bit but figured -hey it is only for a cold, how bad can it be?! I have to say, it was probably my best doctor's appointment ever! The office and examination room are not "state of the art" but it is clean and has everything one can need. In addition, Dr. Pudberry practices western AND eastern medicine. I KNOW from personal experience that western medicine a lot of the times is NOT enough. So I was very happy to see that Dr. Pudberry treated me from both angles. He also spent a lot of time with me, when most doctors are trying to "score" as many patients as they can in one hour. I was very pleased to see that regarding my cold and other topics, he really wants to find the root of the problem and not just treat the symptoms. He definitely earned my confidence. Thank you!

Dr. Neetu was recommended/referred to us by Vita, who is amazing and who I have been seeing for years. He seem very kind and knowledgeable from just the few minutes I spoke with him.

I recommend taking public transit and walking if you can. Street parking only lets you pay for an hour. There is a nearby parking garage at Sutter if you want to drive that will be roughly $5/hour depending on the time of day you are parked.

Dr. A is amazing with not only pain management with Botox but he has the best eye and artistic hand…read morefor aesthetics as well! He's the ultimate injector and always gets my Botox dosing perfect from forehead to traps. The tension and bulky look I had in my shoulders and trap area are completely relieved after seeing him and I look like I have a longer slimmer neck. The best part about my Botox treatment is it's completely undetectable. I just look rested and stress free as opposed to looking "done" or unnatural. He's also super efficient and works quickly so you can easily pop in on a short lunch break. I have also had recent PRF injections with Dr. A in my knee post surgery (meniscus tear) about 6 weeks ago and it has completely sped up my healing time. I have little to zero pain since this procedure and less swelling. I highly recommend PRF injections for anyone dealing with stiff and achey joints. Thank you Dr. A for helping me look as young as I feel!

I have actually only seen Dr. Murphy in Berkeley, not in SF…read more My experiences with her were excellent. She is a truly caring person who takes the time to listen in order to fully understand the issue that I'm describing. She has a wide breadth of knowledge about all health conditions and I feel comfortable talking to her about anything. I really appreciate that she writes down all her recommendations, and that they range from the least invasive (homeopathy, herbs and products from the health food store) to more intense (acupuncture, or vitamin shots) when needed. I really respect the Naturopathic approach: see if you can heal yourself with diet and lifestyle changes, use herbs and vitamins to tackle harder problems and only use pharmaceuticals when all else fails.

I started seeing Dr. Murphy a couple of years ago to address several issues I was having that…read more"regular" doctors didn't seem to be able to help me with, including severe fatigue. She offered me a wealth of information, sound advice, and various supplements to boost my body's natural abilities. Following the advice of a naturopath to a tee, however, took more discipline than I could muster, and so I "half-way" followed her treatment plan, and halfway let it slide... Then Dr. Murphy moved to L.A. and I stopped seeing her entirely, and the bottles of special tinctures she had made for me collected dust in the medicine cabinet. Several months later, during the summer, I started having some weird hormone-related symptoms. I got my hormone levels and thyroid tested and the numbers came up slightly off, so an endocrinologist prescribed me some medication she said would balance things out. But, after doing some of my own research, I realized that I was wary about fixing a slight imbalance with a pill. So I contacted Dr. Murphy again, and we began phone sessions. This time, I was more motivated to actually follow her instructions word for word. And so, that's what I have been (almost!) doing for the past four months -- specifically, I have been taking my tinctures and adhering to a strict no dairy no soy diet. I am writing this note today to testify that, indeed, natural medicine does work. The fatigue I used to suffer from is GONE. I no longer need to take naps in the car when I arrive at work in the morning. I no longer fall asleep the second I lie down in bed (my ex used to compare me to one of those baby dolls whose eyelids close whenever you lie it flat.) I no longer have that "can't move" feeling at 4 pm every day. (Of course, it also helps that my job is way less crazy, but still.) The circles under my eyes are fading. Those of you who knew me in my teens and twenties will be astounded to know that I no longer need to sleep until past noon on the weekends. This morning I was wide awake at 9:30! And, there have been other amazing changes, such as increased sex drive. I haven't had my levels re-tested yet, but I am positive they have normalized because I feel so much better. I hope that anyone who reads this who has suffered from digestive issues, fatigue, or any of other "sub-clinical" maladies will consider trying natural medicine. If you are depressed or anxious or sluggish, therapy can help but it may be your thyroid! Or your adrenals! And dietary changes and supplements CAN HELP. A LOT. TRUST ME. I know this note is starting to sound like an advertisement, but I'm okay with that. Dr. Murphy is just so smart and such a good listener. It is so comforting to be able to talk on the phone with, and email, a doctor you really trust.

I was referred to her by a friend in 2020 after dealing with chronic dizziness and back pain for over 6 months and my KP doctor couldn't diagnose the problem. Once I started seeing Dr. Kartch, she could feel my C2 and surrounding vertebra were out of alignment. After a number of visits, the dizziness and pain finally started to subside. I wouldn't be here healthy if it wasn't for her. She gave me strengthening exercises to help maintain my neck health. Dr. Kartch is one of the kindest souls I've ever met. She's warm, compassionate, optimistic and genuine. I loved our conversations every time I visited, it's like talking to a friend and her encouragement was incredibly beneficial for me.
