Utter medical negligence by this so called team. I was anticipating a change in pharmacy benefits…read moreand a change in medication with the new year. I met with Dr. Jacobs on December 12 to go over the changes so we could get the ball rolling and not have a delay in my immune treatment which I require every 3 weeks to stay healthy due to a serious immune disorder. He assured me that it would be handled well. Then almost month later I call back and find out nothing has been done. The office didn't have a new script from the Dr. The contract worker they had hired to deal with insurance benefits at the office still didn't know I had a new pharmacy benefits provider. She was trying to order the old medication from the old benefits provider. So I spent the next two weeks on the phone for entire days - leaving messages, waiting on hold, coordinating between nursing staff (bc the dr was now on vacation), the independent contractor who didn't understand my insurance change, my pharmacy benefits provider and the pharmacy filing the order. Babysitting grown adults who are getting paid to apparently not do their jobs. The office at first admitted to dropping the ball, then they each slowly started to blame other people in the office and I realized what a toxic dysfunctional mess the whole operation was. Perhaps they once were good - the vast majority of these five star reviews are many years old. Today, I think they can handle routine allergy shots. That's their bread and butter. Anything more is a deep stretch for their abilities. In the end I finally got my medication two weeks late and it would have been even later if I hadn't borrowed a medical pump to use from a complete stranger. This was an incredibly stressful process that would have been avoided if people at this office understood how to do their jobs.

Today, I sent my 20-year-old daughter to Dr. Heo for her annual exam after researching internists…read morewho received excellent reviews. This would be my daughter's first visit with Dr. Heo as a new patient, as we recently moved from Chicago. It was difficult to find a female doctor who receives good reviews and is accepting new patients. I was surprised to learn about the office visit. First, Dr. Heo questioned why my daughter would travel all the way from Lafayette to Brentwood to see her. This sort of question would put anyone on their heels. This disconcerting question, which puts the patient in a defensive posture, is no way a way to begin a doctor-patient relationship or what should be a proactive conversation. It makes the patient feel as if they should not be there. Dr. Heo then essentially phoned in the exam. She did not perform the head-to-toe evaluation typically performed at first-time office visits to establish a baseline. She did not ASK QUESTIONS (How much exercise? How is your diet? How is your home life? etc.etc). Oftentimes, patients are reluctant to "complain" or introduce perhaps what they are fearful would be minor issues. Especially if they are questioned about why they are there in the first place, and especially a young person, with whom one should take extra care to tease out facts. My shy daughter gets headaches (which she was reluctant to disclose - likely migraines - and which the doctor did not ask "any headaches? allergies? etc etc - I am asked these questions by my doctor). She did not find out that my daughter has a sprained ankle. She did not ask what every woman is asked - about the regularity of her menstrual cycles. Does she see an OB/GYN? She did not order lab tests to establish a baseline. She did not test her reflexes, balance, or joint mobility. She did not palpate her abdomen. She did not check for unusual moles. These are all the hallmarks of a first exam. Dr. Heo seemed to have determined that my daughter "looks healthy" and left it at that. Consequently, my daughter did not receive an "annual exam" from Dr. Heo. Dr. Heo concluded the "exam" by telling my daughter she herself does not like going to the doctor (wonderful role modeling) and said "next time" my daughter can just phone in. I don't think so. Dr. Heo already phoned in.

I actually chose a couple of doctors before but ended up canceling both times. Finally, after more searching, I found Dr. Kristina Hobson in Los Gatos. To be honest, when I first walked into her office, I was already looking for an excuse to cancel again. But once I spoke with her, I was really impressed with her knowledge and the way she explained everything, so I decided to keep my appointment. Today was my procedure at Silicon Valley Surgery Center, and I had such a great experience. The facility was clean, calm, and very nice. Every single person I interacted with was wonderful. From the front desk to Barbara, who helped review my paperwork everyone was kind and welcoming. My first nurse, Kay, was incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and professional. When she went on break, Nicole took over she was also amazing. I'm not a fan of needles at all, but she did my IV so gently and with so much care. Then Kat, the third nurse, took me to the procedure room she was kind, calm, and very professional. Dr. Michael Block, the anesthesiologist, was excellent. He actually texted me the night before to ask if I wanted to review everything ahead of time or on the day of the procedure, which I really appreciated. We exchanged a few messages, and then he spoke with me again before the procedure and explained everything clearly. He was confident, knowledgeable, and very reassuring. In the procedure room, I fell asleep within seconds and woke up quickly afterward feeling great. Within about 30 minutes, I felt completely fine. I was even able to take calls and respond to emails. And now, about Dr. Hobson ,she is truly a 10 out of 10. Honestly, the entire experience was 10 out of 10. From the office to the surgery center, every single nurse and staff member was exceptional. I'm a very detail-oriented and perfectionist person because of my job, so I don't say this lightly. Something I was so scared of and postponed for 5 years turned into such a smooth and positive experience. Thank you to everyone
