It has been a couple of years since Dr. Margie D. Lim left Palo Alto Medical Foundation, and I…read morestill miss having her as my primary care physician. I was fortunate to be her patient for over 20 years. Throughout those years, she consistently demonstrated what outstanding medical care should look like. She is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, patient, and genuinely compassionate. She always listened carefully to my concerns, paid close attention to every detail, and took the time to explain diagnoses and treatment options in a way that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed, and I always felt that she truly cared about my health and well-being. Finding a great physician is not easy, and since Dr. Lim left, I have not found another primary care doctor who provides the same level of trust, professionalism, and personal care. She set a very high standard. If Dr. Lim is still practicing medicine somewhere, I sincerely hope I can find her and become her patient again. She made a lasting difference in my life, and I will always be grateful for the exceptional care she provided over the past two decades. Thank you, Dr. Lim, for everything you have done for me and so many of your patients. I wish you all the best wherever you are.

I have never been more disgusted with a doctor in my entire LIFE!!!!!…read more My mother in law has been a patient there for nearly 10 years. She has early onset dementia, she has zero short term memory and she is confused constantly- (she put funions in the cat food bowl) she refuse to diagnose her. That isn't what this review is about. She has been on thyroid medication for her entire life and the office called in a prescription and cancelled it (maybe she needs an appt?) but we have called multiple times with ZERO response, no call to schedule after they canceled- for TWO weeks !!!!!!!! What kind of Dr cancels a medication for THYROID and doesn't care to remedy it!!?????? Her daughter has been on the same medication her life as well thank GOD so she has not had to go without- but I am literally shaking as I write this because this lady (MIL) is an angel on earth. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!! We have subsequently schedule an appointment with a new doctor because this office obviously does not care for their patients or the outcome of their well-being to any degree whatsoever... Not even to return a phone call!!!! I have truly and sincerely never been more disgusted with a medical practice in my entire life and we will absolutely be filing a complaint with the board!!!!!!!! I have absolutely no idea how she has any positive reviews whatsoever, but please make sure to check all of the other ones star reviews because they're pretty consistent that they do not care about their patients whatsoever. Avoid this place like the plague!!!!!

Literally the worst doctor I've ever encountered in my life. She was rude, cold, not compassionate…read moreand condescending. 2 years ago we went here. My poor 80 year old mother who's suffering from dementia onset was ridiculed when I took her to this doctor. And the reason we came here is because she was dizzy from not taking her thyroid medication because she ran out and the doctor was asking her a million questions about what date it is who is the president etc. etc. very rudely when my mother obviously was not feeling well. Not to mention, now a month ago she literally cut off her thyroid medication without warning - did not call me or my mom to let us know that we needed to go to the lab in order to get a new prescription and she was left without thyroid medication. They did not answer my calls. I called three times in one week trying to contact them to figure out why they denied a refill without any warning and not even a grace period of a pills until we could get to the lab. I do not recommend this doctor or this office at all. Not to mention they don't have email they use fax machines still. And if they don't answer their phone. how else are you supposed to contact them? Terrible.

I've been blown away by Sutida Majarone's expertise in Functional Medicine, kindness,…read moreprofessionalism and generosity. I've met Sutida at a time when I was in such dire need of care. Sutida kindly took me on and treated me immediately even though she was supposed to be on vacation and went above and beyond the call of duty! I have tremendously benefited from the ozone, Vit C and light IV therapies and I am so grateful that Sutida really helped stabilize my health condition. Personally, I truly believe these alternative, holistic therapies really work and are truly powerful for so many health conditions! It was amazing to see myself getting better and better day by day! In the process of healing me, Sutida took the time to explain the treatment protocols, was very patient and was perceptive to reassure me and comfort me whenever I needed it. It felt really great to be cared by someone who is so nurturing, spontaneous and attentive. Additionally, Sutida accommodated not only my busy schedule so I could receive regular follow-up treatments, even if that meant she would work a little after hours, but also she was following up with me regularly via texts to ensure I was doing ok. One quality among many that I much appreciate about Sutida is that she is very humble. Sutida referred me to another specialist who she thought I could benefit from his expertise to complement and optimize my health further. I am so thankful for this wonderful referral. I find that Sutida's medical and IV services are offered at quite a reasonable and very competitive price compared to other providers offering similar services. I cannot say enough good things about Sutida's good heart, genuine spirit to help people, and I highly recommend Sutida's services! Thank You So Very Much, Sutida, over and over for being a great part of my healing! I sincerely wish that all the healing goodness you are offering to people will reward you a thousand folds! You can reach Sutida by either calling or texting her at (650) 801 9499, OR at (650) 226-7838. Good Living Health: 1328 El Camino Real. San Carlos, CA 94070. https://goodlivinghealth.com/

In my search for an experienced rheumatologist without word of mouth recommendations, I blindly…read morescheduled appointments with almost a half dozen fellowship-trained rheumatologists before I would discover Dr Lambert. I specifically was seeking out one with experience with athletes and sports injuries, and was fortunate to have found Dr Lambert, as she had previously spent many years with the Stanford Sports Medicine clinic before moving over to SOAR. As Dr Lambert has a closed practice, I had to go through some hoops to obtain a referral for a consultation. I also endured almost a month's wait as this was during the holiday season. Despite these minor annoyances, Dr Lambert was nothing short of outstanding. After a comprehensive and inspiring one hour consultation, I cannot praise more highly the care provided by Dr Lambert. Her diagnostic skills are unrivaled, and this was matched by her professionalism, patient listening skills (asking appropriate questions afterwards, without interrupting the patient's train of thought), copious note-taking abilities (she filled my medical record page both front and back with the smallest of details), and empathy. I especially appreciated her hand-written notes updating me on new lab results, as well as personally calling me three times (we ran into an unfortunate game of phone tag) before reaching me, then spending ten minutes going over follow-up questions I neglected to ask during my last office visit. I look forward to my continued care under her infinite experience and wisdom!

Dr. Gina provides you the knowledge and motivation to recover from illness.

She demonstrates this in the way she talks about her own experiences in both having and treating illness as well as going out of her way to set up appointments when I need them when other doctors have failed me. Dr. Gina is a medical doctor who performs as a doctor should, helping with diagnosis, treatments, prescriptions, recommendations etc, but her help presents in a form that is far more wholistic, empowering, and human than that of most medical professionals. I highly recommend Dr. Gina Serraiocco.

My wife has been on my ASS for five plus years about getting my butt in to see a Doc. Recently I have run out of excuses and my wife made an appointment for me. I didn't have a regular doctor so my wife did her research and thought Dr. Chen would be the one for me. He is Board Certified which I don't know what exactly that means, but supposedly it's a good thing. He is accepting new patients which at the time of the appointment was a bad thing. His office is close by our house which again is a good thing. Wait time in the lobby is kept to a minimum....if you stop and think about it, this can be a bad thing. He completed his undergrad at Brown which is the same school as my sister in-law, good thing? So how was my first visit? It was painless and strangely enjoyable.
