Dr. Johansen goes above and beyond the level of service offered by other concierge doctors. Like…read morethe others, she offers same-day appointments and an easy way to reach her during the workday and outside of working hours. Dr. Johansen also listens attentively; explains your medical issues clearly; offers treatment alternatives; promptly orders tests and makes referrals; finds good specialists to evaluate and treat your condition, when necessary; and does additional research on your medical issues if needed. She respects your right to make the final decision regarding your treatment. Every time you see her, she seeks to connect with you on a personal level as well as a professional one. In 2023, I moved to a community 65 miles from Palo Alto. I kept Dr. Johansen as my primary care physician, knowing that I could reach her by phone or messaging and that I could drive over to see her when needed. I recently moved back to the Palo Alto area and I am so glad to have easy access to her clinic once again.

Best of all, she listens closely, takes the time needed to gather important information, and is compassionate. I'm so fortunate to have her as an advocate and partner in my journey to health!

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!!!

You won't find many doctors like Brad Rabin. I've been a patient for 15+ years and still pinch…read moremyself. Dr. Rabin is super-smart, perceptive, experienced and highly trained. 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.

I will be the first to admit that I do not know a lot about health/medical conditions, but he never makes me feel dumb. He is an awesome doctor, and it's nearly impossible to have him add you as his primary physician, but he was kind enough to add my partner, so that we have the same trusted doctor.

Dr Susan Hoffman has been my primary care internal medicine doctor for over twenty years. She is…read moreby far the best doctor I have ever had. Her warm personality, combined with solid knowledge, experience and empathy are all key parts that make her so special. Her nurse Dana is exceptional, and helps run that office efficiently and professionally. I love the fact that appointments are easy to come by, and that you are not rushed in and out. With her concierge practice, communication via phone, email, text are common place. That sort of communication really gives me peace of mind. i know that she is always looking out for me,and cares for me as she would a family member. It does not get any better.. I do not live close to the office, but we make it work. I share Susan's philosophy of wellness, and we do things proactively. The rest of the office, doctors and staff are all excellent. I would trust any of the doctors in dr Hoffman's absence. They have a lab in the office, and also administer EKG 's on site. She does not accept insurance, and has a monthly fee based practice. Best money I have ever spent.

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.

Having the breast MRI can be quite uncomfortable. You are face down for about 30 minutes and it's hot inside there.

It's difficult to breath when you are laying down flat with pressure against your diaphragm. I was so happy when it was over. The two nurses, that were assisting me, were awesome.

I've found Dr. Yang to be responsive, easy to talk with and generally on top of things, so I keep going back. I'd guess that Dr. Yang is in his mid 30s, so he fits nicely into that groove of having finished his residency years ago but also being far from retirement. I don't love the enormous, hospital-like facilities here at Palo Alto Medical Foundation, but they do appear state-of-the-art and they are centrally located right across from Stanford. Special note: Dr. Yang takes appointments starting at 7:40am! [Yes, he works midday for you late risers as well.]
