When Dr Rotman moved to concierge medicine I didn't even have to think twice about moving with him to his new practice. He's been my primary physician since. It's not that he's just a great physician, he's the best. I have four MDs in my family and he is a physician just like I remember my dad being. Everyone that works in his office are friendly, helpful and I love that I can always rely on them. These days being able to reach your doc after hours is not an option, unless this is your physician. When I have surgery my specialists are happy to be working with him. He gets all my blood work, EKG and pre surgical test done before I even have a surgery date. If your looking for a physician to help you take care of yourself look no further.

He has an integrative approach to medicine that looks at the person as a whole and is able to access potential solutions that most physicians overlook. In addition to him, his office staff is friendly, caring and extremely professional, I have never been kept waiting and am always greeted with a smile and a hello. I feel very lucky to be with this office, and cannot recommend it highly enough.

After multiple medical errors over the years by other doctors, that many doctors refused to properly document, she took the effort to review my records and provide the most accurate medical record that I have had since the first error in 2010- proving to be the most ethical doctor I have ever interacted with. It takes a special person to stand up against the flow in medical systems. She is that type of person. The type that would stand up and say that is wrong. Ethical enough not to work for system that were no aligned with her ethical integrity. A very rare find. She even found the root cause of the of the issues that were missed for years along with doing a very thorough GI work up-greatly improving symptoms and lessening risk damaging other organs. Noting that I have been going to a Functional Medicine GI doctor and did not have such a thorough GI work up. I wish her the best and hope that everything is ok with her. We are not sure why she ended up closing her practice, I hope everything is good, but rating her closing her practice is not rating her as the excellent doctor she is. I wish that someone as smart and ethical as her would be filling the space-but that isn't happening-sadly.

So bummed she is closing her practice because she is the best PCP (if not one of the best doctors)…read moreI've had! I started seeing Dr. Michaud last year after my former FNP (and awful GI doc) ignored some serious symptoms. She has a great bedside manner, is smart, proactive, and thinks outside of the box. She even came up with possible diagnoses other specialists missed. Although we never figured out the cause, she took EVERYTHING I told her VERY seriously. As a veteran patient, I cannot count how many doctors downplay or ignore serious symptoms. Dr. Michaud not only does the opposite of those doctors but should also teach other doctors how to take their patients' concerns seriously. I was able to get in the following week after scheduling as a new patient and never had difficulty getting appointments. Her receptionist, Annabelle, and her MA, Rachel are friendly and helpful. I wish I found her sooner and had more time to be her patient. Thanks Dr. Michaud for listening to me and helping me as well as serving as an example for the care I hope to provide my patients as a family physician one day!

If your looking for a GP in the Walnut Creek area, he's the man! Staff was attentive and pleasant.

Dr. O'Hanrahan is a fine, considerate, doctor. However, his receptionist is another story. My…read morefamily and I have been a patient of record for over 30 years. I have paid my bills on time, never miss appointments, etc. Few years ago, I needed an appointment for an emergency and routine treatment, the receptionist would not allow me to. She said it's been too long since I have been in. I told her the last time I called she instructed me to go to urgent care for treatment as it is too busy, and I am trying again. I informed her that my son just had an appointment, and it was 5 years before. She said family doesn't count, and hung up on me. I sent two letters, certified and confidential, Fed ex and confidential to the Dr, as there must be some mistake. (I don't know if he even saw it.) Our whole family has been fond of dr. through the many years of two child births and struggles in life. I called again to see if Dr. had received the letters, and the receptionist practically yelled at me and said I already told you we are not seeing you and Dr. will not call you back. It took me a year to finally find another doctor, as most doctors of any quality were not accepting new patients. To add insult upon injury, my son just had an emergency to see him, and the receptionist would not allow him to make an appointment, saying it is too long and we don't take your insurance any more. I don't understand as I have always supplemented the amount the insurance did not cover. Is it common practice for a doctor of 30 plus years to just drop one out of the practice without warning, when one is in desperate need? Not a letter or warning was provided to give us a heads up when there are no medical problems. If a letter at arrived warning of a new policy not to see patient if there is no contact for x length of time, it would have prompted an appointment or phone call. To have to search for months finding a doctor (whose office is not closed to new patients) when one is in pain is cruel. Dr's Receptionists attitude can be summed up in "Too busy, too long, you're out, and I don't care". I would have written this a couple of years ago, but didn't have time and was hurting too much. Human compassion is non-existence with the receptionist. I tried contacting the doctor several times and she constantly put up road blocks. I don't know if this was coming from her or the doctor. Patient of record doesn't count for anything. Loyal conscientious patients doesn't matter. BUYER, BEWARE!!

My husband and I are in our 70s and are very active, including a routine of Pilates three times a week and walking daily. I also do some weight training.

Three weeks later, without further contact, we received an email rejecting our application and stating that their practice is "full.."

When you call his office (during office hours) someone picks up on the first or second ring. When you arrive you are given the most minimum paperwork which is a huge relief. He's always on time and you are never kept waiting. Most doctors talk to you while staring at your chart or typing into a computer and barely look at you. Dr. Huie gives direct eye contact right away and is present with you the entire time. You get his full attention. He asks enough questions but doesn't pester you with irrelevant ones. He gets quickly to his suggestion and doesn't overly explain things once you get it. He has a great network of folks he refers you do and somehow even has their phone numbers memorized. The office sends you easy to understand bills and is easy to work with. Doctors like these are a dying breed. I hope he never retires.
