First, I would like to say that Dr. Lee is an excellent physician. He is patient, attentive, and…read morenever makes you feel rushed during appointments. He truly listens and takes the time to address concerns, which is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, my experience with the front desk receptionist, LYNN, has been extremely disappointing. Interacting with her has been frustrating and discouraging. She comes across as very unprofessional and lacks the patience and compassion that are especially important in a medical office -- particularly when working with elderly patients or individuals who may struggle with technology, such as online portals or email communication. Instead of feeling supported, I often felt as though getting assistance or scheduling an appointment was an inconvenience to her. A medical practice should be welcoming and helpful from the very first point of contact, and that has not been my experience. It is frustrating and painful to deal with this woman. Dr. Lee provides wonderful care, but the front office experience does not reflect the same level of professionalism and compassion. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as the right front desk staff can make a significant difference in patients' overall experience.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Roger Kao and his incredible team! From the moment I…read morearrived for my procedure, I felt like I was in the best hands. Dr. Kao and his staff were not only professional but also incredibly warm, caring, and empathetic. He's a doctor who really knows how to get to the bottom of things (no, that won't be the last pun...unfortunately). I was initially nervous about having my procedure done without anesthesia, but the team immediately put me at ease. They explained everything thoroughly and made sure I felt calm and relaxed throughout the process. To my surprise, the procedure wasn't bad at all! Seriously, on a pain scale (1-10) it never got more than a 2--and that was only for about a second. I know pain tolerance is subjective, but I had NO pain during this procedure (Pain is in the brain!). Dr. Kao and his team's calming presence and genuine concern for my comfort made all the difference. I feel bad because I forgot the name of the lovely lady who was talking in my ear and calming me, literally the entire time, while Dr. Kao was....getting to know me. The whole team kept me calm and even made me laugh during the procedure--Who knew a colonoscopy could be this much fun?! Dr. Kao and his team are not just skilled, they're also incredibly compassionate. He and his team never made me feel like just another patient; they treated me like a person and I genuinely felt cared for. So, if you're looking for a gastroenterologist who will handle your care with dignity, professionalism, and maybe even a little humor, I can't recommend Dr. Kao enough.

This is an overdue review. I saw Dr. Raphael during the pandemic. She was my first naturopathic…read moredoctor and the first doctor I had seen completely virtually. She took detailed information and concerns of mine. She was able to put in bloodwork I needed to the lab but I was able to take her recommended lab work to have my doctor put it in so that some of the lab work would be covered by insurance. The lab work is much more extensive than the basic lab work your traditional doctor does for you. Her lab work was able to have her give you recommendations on supplements and diet. The lab work is an eye opener to seeing how unbalanced my body was. Just before having the vaccine, she instructed me on what tinctures to take prior to having the vaccine so that wouldn't have any or mild side effects. The first two vaccines I took the tinctures and I barely had any symptoms. When the booster came out and I completely forgot about taking the tinctures, I had a headache and was tired for two days. I won't forget to take this going forward now. If you're looking for a naturopathic doctor, I highly recommend Dr. Kizzy Raphael where ever you are located. She does a wonderful job working with patients virtually. Her attention to detail and her eagerness to want to resolve your health issues makes her a vital part of your wellbeing.

Dr. Kizzy has helped me obtain a quality of life I didn't think was possible. I had lost faith in…read moretraditional doctors, having been told countless times from more doctors than I can remember that "I'm fine". I'd been through Kaiser, PAMF, Sutter Health; nobody would listen and nobody would help. I felt so hopeless, defeated and truly sick. I was experiencing debilitating fatigue, excruciating pain in my tailbone, extreme nausea, issues with overactive bladder, blood in my stool, a swollen abdomen, weight that I couldn't lose no matter what I tried ...the list goes on. Every day was a struggle and every day I felt so unwell, and there was no explanation. The nausea has been affecting me for over 30 years. The final straw that pushed me to find help outside of what my insurance would cover, was testing positive for colon cancer at 46. I didn't really have the money to seek alternative care, but feeling like I was on the brink of death motivated me to reprioritize my life and figure it out. I found Dr. Kizzy out of sheer desperation. I chose her because of the reviews I read. I could write pages and pages about how wonderful she is, but to summarize, I feel amazing! I don't have colon cancer. I was completely misdiagnosed by Kaiser. They kept running the same tests over and over. They refused to deviate and expand the parameters of their testing even though I wasn't getting better. They told me my ailments were all in my head. Dr. Kizzy was able to determine I had SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth), H.pylori (very common, from food poisoning) and that my adrenal gland function was extremely low. I've been a patient of Dr. Kizzy for a little over a year now and for the first time in my entire life, I'm ok. I will be forever grateful for her help! She actually listened and cared. · Debilitating Fatigue - Dr. Kizzy treated my adrenal gland function, and I have so much energy now! · Excruciating Tailbone Pain - It was from chronic stress, which led to pressure and muscle tension in my pelvic floor muscles. She recommended an amazing therapist (Taryn Weinkam, PhD) who helped me release the trauma I've been holding onto for so many years. My pain is gone! · Overactive Bladder - It was my body's response to being in a constant state of "fight or flight". The therapy helped with this as well, it's no longer an issue. · Extreme Nausea - It was from H.pylori. Nausea is one of the main symptoms. If Kaiser or Sutter had run a simple test, this could have been diagnosed decades ago. My nausea is completely gone. · Swollen Abdomen & Bloody Stool - Both of these were from SIBO and both are no longer present. · Excess Weight - SIBO contributed to this, but so did the feeling of hopelessness. I credit both Dr. Kizzy and therapy. Our bodies react to our mental state. I've dropped 30 lbs and fit back into clothes I never thought I'd be able to wear again. There is really something to that whole "mind, body, spirit" thing. I highly recommend Dr. Kizzy!

I had a cancer scare and was told to see a specialist. I called Dr. Skaar's office, explained to…read morethem my needs and was given an appointment two months out. I asked if I could get onto a wait list for cancellations and was told they would get back to me. The next day the receptionist called, said she had spoken with Dr. Skaar about me and that my appointment for two months down the road was sufficient because "Dr. Skaar isn't worried about you." Well, I was worried about me and went to another doctor, who was also worried about me and saw me right away. I'm so thankful he did because he quite possibly saved my life. It makes me very sad to write reviews like this about doctors, but I hope she reads this and thinks twice the next time someone calls for something urgent. If she doesn't have time to see them, don't ask them to wait for two months, but perhaps offer the name of another qualified physician. Like me, it could save a life. TIP: Care about yourself more than the doctor cares about you.
