After finally ridding myself of PAMF in January of 2013 and finding a new doctor in a private…read morepractice, I had a life changing, for the better, experience. My new doctor (within the first visit), listened to all my medical issues, which had been going on for years and had been heavily disclosed for years to Dr. Weirich and other PAMF doctors, and quickly new something was seriously, seriously, wrong based on my symptoms. Long story short, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and had to make some serious life changes in how I eat and how I live, but those changes have probably saved my life and have made me healthier than ever. I am not going to get into my personal health issues, but will say that almost every problem I had while seeing Dr. Weirich and PAMF doctors has now been resolved a year after being properly diagnosed and I feel better than I have in the last 5 years. Now that I am healthy I think about the damage my body has suffered for years of bad medical care and hope that it does not cause me to suffer more later or even die young, but am thankful I finally have a good doctor. I have asked around over the last year about how a doctor could have possibly missed what was going on with me and have received responses ranging from "blatant mal-practice" to "clearly not a trained or up-to-date physician." Either way, not good. What I have learned is that you need to trust your gut and if you know something is wrong with you and you are getting the run-around or not getting answers, get a second or third opinion, don't settle, this is your life! Just like any profession, you have people who are great at their jobs and those that are not, and it is not always easy to tell, but if your body is telling you something, don't just take someone's word for it. Just because someone went to medical school (even a good one) doesn't mean they know what they are doing or are good, trust yourself and your family, like I did! I am now focused on staying healthy and spending as much time with my family as possible and hope to put this horrible time in my life where I was not getting proper care behind me. My review below shows my clear frustration that my very significant health issues were being ignored or just assumed to be minor. It is disgraceful that some doctors will do this to patients for whatever reason.

I've only had one visit with Dr.FOlan, but it was a very positive experience. I came in with…read morecold/flu symptoms, and he gave me exactly the care I needed. From the start, he was very attentive to detail and took the time to really listen to my concerns without making me feel rushed. He asked thoughtful questions and made sure to fully understand my symptoms. He also explained everything clearly and in a way that was easy to understand, which I really appreciated. It made the whole visit feel much more reassuring. What stood out most was how caring and genuinely concerned he was about my well-being. It felt like he truly wanted me to get better, not just treat the symptoms and move on. Based on this first visit, I feel confident continuing care with this office and would definitely recommend him to others.

Dr. Fell is the doctor beyond our dream! My husband and I both chose him as our primary care…read moredoctor, after my husband did a thorough reviews reading among all doctors he can find reviews of. Here is time to give back by leaving my review :) We have been seeing him for about 2 years. And he indeed lived up to 5 stars, and even far beyond 5 starts if we have more stars to give! As people have been saying here, he is compassionate and competent at the same time. In a typical visit, by asking curious and caring questions without rushing, he got all aspects of my concerns, and he listened so well and cared so much that sometimes I forgot I was in a doctor's appointment, but feeling more like catching up with an uncle that I have missed for a while. Every time for any issue that we want to learn more, he could cite trustworthy resources readily and we trust that he gave well informed advices. There was a time my husband doesn't feel well in his chest, and concerned about potential heart issue. It was in the evening, like 9 or 10 pm, after ordinary office hour, and he didn't feel too bad to go to ER to check it, but concerning enough for us to consider if he should go to ER. We messaged Dr. Fell on the one medical app, and he called us a few minutes later!!! After asking some questions, he said with comforting tone that it's fine, probably muscle tensions, and my husband doesn't need to go to ER that night. Such a relief! And he saved us a thousand dollar bill. And my husband is indeed fine. We are so grateful and impressed about his confidence and that he cares so much and is willing to go far and beyond to help! We also both received his hypnotherapy, which has been deeply healing and I still draw resources from those sessions after two years. His compassion is so genuine that created a safe space for deep healing. Since Covid started, we left CA. When we have any medical questions, we still consult Dr.Fell with virtual visits. We are not willing to let go of him no matter where we go! And we will unhesitatingly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a doctor that could provide excellent medical advice plus family like kindness and care.

Seemed to dismiss it as significant and that I was too concerned? H did give me ideas of what would help and it did.

Although it was…read morenot a surgical case, Dr. Singel was monitoring her care, recovery, and providing complete support to her and the entire family throughout the recovery. He always puts the patient's well-being ahead of everything. And then put the patient's family's interest thereafter. He never cared for his own interest at all. For him, patient care was everything. He is an angel sent for us, and we can never thank him enough for his care and support. He inspires the best in us so we can pass it to others less fortunate. What a rare gem in these times. Thank you, Doctor, for everything. Our mom is fully recovered by your care, advice, and guidance. We owe you a deep gratitude, and if we can be of any assistance, it would be an honor for us. May God bless you !!

Dr. Bradford Rabin, where do I begin? He is absolutely one of the best doctors out there. He is so…read morecaring and so kind. When I was in his office talking about some symptoms, I had asked him if he would talk to my sister on the phone... he did! They talked and he explained some stuff to her... of course it's medical and doctory stuff. He's very attentive and will listen to your EVERY NEED. I sometimes text him on the phone regarding some things, he would respond to me each and everytime. HIGH RECOMMENDED if you need a primary doctor, he is super smart. When the other doctor was on vacation, he assisted by ordering the tests I needed and the medicines that I needed to expedite what was wrong with me. He isn't my primary doctor but he is still willing to help me and figure out what is wrong with me. I feel he would be able to figure out what is wrong with me. Oh yeah, I only been to his office ONCE, all the other times were on the phone!!! Thanks Dr Bradford, you're awesome... I will recommend you to anyone that asks for a great doctor!!!

His manner is gentle, calm, unhurried. In addition to treating the problem you're seeing him for, he will discuss any question you have about your physical or mental well-being -- nothing is off-limits. There is always time. His concern is the total person. It is genuine. He is tireless in his quest to educate each patient about his or her own health. He tailors his specific recommendations to you, and then he will push you to do even better, always within your abilities. Each time I see him, he references new studies or new findings and presents them as they relate to me. I leave his office with fresh motivation and specific actions to take to improve my overall health. Over the years, I have had to contact Dr. Rabin several times (I've used phone, text, and email) on urgent medical matters. He has always responded quickly and calmly, and was clear and decisive in his instructions. Throughout the COVID pandemic, Dr. Rabin has emailed his patients with his own thoughts on the latest quarantine, vaccination and booster research. I've passed these on to family and friends, who find them invaluable. Dr. Rabin is an exceptional doctor. I can't recommend his practice highly enough.

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.

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.

In very unfortunate timing, I experienced a medical emergency and was being rushed to the ER during the time of the phone visit in a tremendous amount of pain. I told him the situation and his response was, "I spent a lot of time and effort reviewing your labs, don't you want to hear what I have to say?" He only got worse from there. I basically put him on speaker and let him talk into the void while I waited for him to shut up so I could end the call, and for the car to arrive at the hospital. I ended up having emergency surgery shortly after being admitted to the hospital. It's not about the money for a wasted appointment; it's about him being deplorable. Listen to the other reviewers who mention that this guy is rude and combative.

He then said to me he doesn't have time to be on the phone with me to answer my "basic" questions. Which I then told him that these questions we have are not basic to us since this is a new situation and very stressful situation we are now dealing with.

I had all of the signs present: Headaches, lethargy, massively swollen ankles, joint pain, inability to recover from exercise, and chronic fatigue. But not only did she dismiss the patient, when I protested the dismissal and asked for a recommendation to see a doctor who could specialize in internal medicine, she shrieked to portray herself as a victim to try get me thrown out of the hospital, and at that she was actually successful. She did this because she was angry. She was angry, I guess, because I questioned her diagnosis. Because I knew there was something seriously wrong. I was right. There was something seriously wrong; kidney failure.
