I was in Mexico and needed to be hospitalized. I wrote down everything they put in my body just in case. When I came home, I went straight to her and to my surprise, she was fluent in Spanish as well! She also listens. I was sluggish, tired, and had no energy. She kept hinting at depression, but I told her I would consider that if we could do all the blood tests to make sure there isnt anything else wrong with me. She not only was able to find out what was wrong with me, but we worked on a plan to get my numbers back in range. Also, she asks if I'm sticking to my regimen every follow up.

Some have argued she has the time to do these things because she doesn't take insurance and charges you for time spent. This is true. However, it's worth it to me to have at least one doctor who understands the full me, and I don't mind paying for it. She has done a wonderful job of tracking my nutritional deficiencies and helping me rectify them, and helping me manage my hypothyroidism. Today I am feeling better than I ever have before in both of those departments. What I love about her most is that she will discuss any problem I am having and doesn't stick to her endocrinology "silo." She keeps in contact with my doctors, too, so they know what is happening with me. I appreciate that I don't need to make a separate appointment to ask my primary care doctor about say, a question with my ear. During the pandemic, she has been doing a lot of phone visits, which is great. I hope she continues this into the future so I don't have to trek from San Jose to Los Altos to see her and discuss lab results.

I've been with Dr. Thomas several years - through 3 or 4 moves of her office. Initially I was…read morethankful for the time she'd spend getting to the bottom of my fatigue. She also sent me to a specialist for fibromyalgia in 2009. My biggest complaint is when you know you're going to need a thyroid panel, you have to make a $250 appointment to get the lab order, understandable because she doesn't want to miss anything, but then you also have to make another appointment to get the results, even when all is well. I wish they'd tell you when you're lab numbers are off and what the concern is, rather than making you wait another two or three months for an appointment to get the lab results! I've gone through months of worry wondering what was wrong, only to finally get in there and be told all looks fine (then pay another $250! She doesn't bill insurance and wants payment in full on each visit). As a patient you have to be proactive here and call and call to get appointments, lab results, etc. The office will not call you, even to let you know they have your lab results. For as many years as I've gone to see Dr. Thomas each time she behaves as though we're meeting for the first time wanting all my history again and again! "Who diagnosed your fibromyalgia?" "You did Doctor, 6 years ago" Even "Who diagnosed Hashimotos?" when she's been treating me for it for years!! Scary! She seems very preoccupied. She's very old school in terms of treating Hashimoto's and auto-immune disease. She doesn't like prescribing NDTs, doesn't believe in or know how to treat other complications of having an autoimmune disease, like the fatigue, tissue damage or joint pain or how to keep inflammation in check. Never talked about the benefits or problems with certain foods, etc. Sad to say but I would not recommend this office.

She definitely practices using evidence based medicine and we know that we are always in great hands. We would like to whole heartedly recommend Dr. Johnson to anyone seeking excellent care.

After my previous general practitioner stopped being contracted with our insurance, I went on a…read moresearch for a new doctor. My baby's pediatrician recommended Dr. Caroline Stratz, an internist who only treats adults. She is located on South Drive near El Camino Hospital, at the very end of the street. Dr. Stratz also is not contracted with my insurance. In fact, she is not contracted with *any* insurance companies. However, I am still going to stay with her. I will detail my first visit to her office and my impressions: -Walked into the office: It is a rather small office with about 2-3 examination rooms. The reception room is smallish but very comfortable. The front desk scheduling coordinator, Gay, is extremely personable and friendly. They did not mind that I had to bring my baby girl. In fact, Gay said they "love babies", and that Dr. Stratz has 3 children of her own. Gay asked me to make myself comfortable and fill out my paperwork. She explained to me that they do not bill out to insurance companies for the patients. Instead, they print out a superbill, give a copy to the patient, and the patient has to submit a claim to the insurance company for reimbursement. Full payment to Dr. Stratz is due at the time of service. -Interview with Dr. Stratz: After I filled out my paperwork, I only waited for about 5 minutes. Dr. Stratz called me into her private office and we talked about any concerns I have regarding my health. She asked me many questions and wrote them all down in my chart. She then asked me if I have any questions for her. I found her to be extremely easy to talk to. Totally nice. -Weight, BP, preliminaries: Dr. Stratz herself took my weight and blood pressure reading. She did everything- checked my breathing, reflexes, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, etc. Everything. She was very thorough and gentle. -Final chat: After doing her examination, Dr. Stratz stepped out of the room so I could get changed. She came back in and did a summary of her findings. Throughout the entire appointment, I felt very comfortable. She does not wear a white coat- just her regular clothes, so those of you who have that "white coat phobia" may feel more comfortable with her. All in all, I like her a lot. As I mentioned, you as the patient would have to submit your own insurance claim to get reimbursed, but I don't have much of a problem with that.

I have been a patient of Dr. Stratz for over 12 years. Based on previous track record, I have…read morechosen to follow her into her new concierge practice. Over the years I have found her to be kind, empathetic, practical, and most importantly she asks my opinion on treatment plans. My health care is a collaborative and she is always open to alternatives. With this new practice, I have been so pleased to see the extra steps she can take. There was a question about my thyroid in a blood test, so instead of immediately sending me to an endocrinologist, she called one and discussed my blood work with him, making a game plan and saving me a step. I recently had some issues that I was concerned about, of course landing on a Sunday. I texted her with symptoms, she called me immediately and sent me to the ER. During the ER visit, she monitored the results of the lab work and regularly texted me. I was so much more relaxed knowing that I had MY doctor following my experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Stratz to anyone, and have sent people to her who have been pleased. She is not only a great doctor, but a very amazing person as well.

People, Please STAY AWAY FROM THIS DOCTOR…read more I visit DR. Laura Stevens for a regular checkup. The total visit time was around 1 hour. We spoke about my health approximately 10 minutes in total, another 10 minutes for a blood pressure test, temperature and pulse measuring. Rest 40 minutes Dr. Laura Stevens asked me inappropriate personal questions: "What car I'm driving?", "What is my rent payment?", "What is my salary?". All these questions make me feel extremely uncomfortable. Dr. Stevens repeat phrases "You pick the right girl", "I'm the best doctor for you", "I'm very knowledgeable" nonstop. After the visit, Dr. Stevens billed my insurance $400 for "Medical care" - I DID NOT GET ANY MEDICAL CARE. And billed me $250 for "Lab tests", but I don't remember any lab test. Again -She will keep you in the office to charge you more and will ask you "What car I'm driving?","What is my rent payment?", "What is my salary?" -She will google information about your health problem. -She will bill you and your insurance for "Lab Test" THIS IS HOW SHE IS DOING HER BUSINESS!

I moved to California from the Northeast USA in late 2018. I had a previous diagnosis of AFib, but had never had significant symptoms that I detected. I wanted to develop a new health care team here in California. My new primary Care doc referred me to Doctor Scott over a year ago. He diagnosed my condition after extensive testing including a consult on heart electrical physiology to one of his colleagues. He is thorough and thoughtful and knowledgeable. I know I am in expert hands! He has training in Medicine at Harvard and a PhD from MIT, he has multiple patents on heart devices. I know he is the person to manage my health and my heart health care and if I ever need more, he is a skilled surgeon. I have more confidence in him than any other doctor I have ever seen. He analysis's my condition and makes recommendations based on research information that he shares with me. That treatment is more sophisticated than any previous work I have had done by my PCP or heart doctor. I am glad to have him as my doctor and recommend him unconditionally for anyone seeking a cardiologist.

I would not recommend this doctor to young or early 30s adults looking to establish long-term…read moreprimary care. I was excited to take charge of my healthcare and find a PCP who would be invested in my health at this stage of my life. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The doctor had little to no bedside manner. After our first appointment, I assumed she might have been having a difficult day, but the same pattern continued at nearly every visit. Appointments were typically very brief--often only 3-4 minutes. I was usually greeted without a smile, received short answers to my questions, and rarely got explanations about my care or treatment options. Visits often ended abruptly with, "We're all done here." I also felt that my interest in preventive healthcare was dismissed rather than encouraged. It seemed as though concerns were only taken seriously if they were severe or urgent, rather than focusing on maintaining long-term health and wellness. I understand that primary care physicians have demanding schedules and many patients to see each day. However, healthcare is a service that patients pay for and rely on. Patients deserve to feel heard, respected, and involved in decisions about their care. In my experience, there was very little effort to provide a positive patient experience or build a doctor-patient relationship. Overall, I found the interactions unfriendly, uncomfortable, impersonal, and unprofessional. She seems checked out. I know this doctor has many positive reviews, but it appears that much of her patient base may consist of older adults or patients with more serious medical conditions. Based on my experience, I would not recommend her to younger adults seeking a primary care physician for long-term, preventive-focused care.
