My behind felt much better even in recovery than it had with the agonizing fistula that I had prior. The only thing I had no idea about was the anesthesia hangover. You may feel like you have been hit by a truck for a couple of days afterward. No need to fret, as this is totally normal. Surgery is still 100% worth it. Thank you again, Dr. Oommen, for giving me my life back. I will be forever grateful!

I was referred by my primary care doctor for a consult about an ultrasound of my gallbladder. As…read moresoon as the doctor entered the exam room,as I was attempting to put my cell phone and list of questions away that I had prepared to ask to help me since I have memory problems...before I could put both away,he proceeded to take them from me without saying a word. I said I needed the list because I have memory problems,yet he continued to pull both from my hands and snatched them out of my hands and said "You'll get them when I'm done." This was rude and very invasive to do to a patient. That consult was to go over info regarding a gallbladder removal surgery. I was in complete shock,as I was not expecting to be treated this way. I was very uncomfortable. He continued on with medical history questions and info regarding gallbladder as if he had done anything. Though I stated to him how what he did and how it made me feel,he kept insinuating it was all in my head & didn't apologize for his incredibly rude and unprofessional actions towards me. After that experience I physically do not feel comfortable with this sort of physician performing any surgery on me. I felt my personal space was violated. It was completely out of line for a surgeon that's been a doctor for so long to do towards a patient. I would not recommend anyone to see this doctor. Also,the staff is not very helpful or friendly.

REM is awful.My experience with the sleep study and the billing department are well below a 1 star…read more Sleep Study: Once having an authorization from my insurance, REM was prompt on calling me to come in ASAP. When I made the appointment, the lady over the phone was pleasant. When I went in to spend the night and do the study there were two guys working in the front, young and looked super unprofessional. They asked me to fill out some forms and when I asked if they needed to see a insurance card, they were like "wait? your covered right?". Why are you asking me that- I mean didn't REM call me to set up the apt saying I was authorized?! SO I had to wait until one of them called around to see if I was covered. My second complaint about spending the night there was the super 8 motel room with bathroom attached, um... how can one even get comfortable to sleep in there with the ten million wires connected to them. And then knowing there are two random guys in the front lobby just randomly hanging out. My suggestion to REM would be to at least keep both a male and a female working there at all hours. It is a little weird being a woman, getting into one of those hospital gowns without my bra on on attached to a dozen wires to sleep in a made up hotel room with two young guys monitoring me. Billing Dept: So REM called me after getting a approval and authorization from my doctors office as well as my insurance company. Then they called me in. That was in September of 2013. Today, May of 2014- I have a collections agency calling me that I owe them $4000! That REM called my insurance and they did not make a payment. REM refuses to call the insurance company, even through I got all the documentation that it was authorized. "The client has to do some leg work to get this solved... is what they told me over the phone. REALLY!? GET ON THIS STUPID BILLING DEPT! IT'S"S YOUR JOB! I was approved and authorized to get the sleep study done before you treated me. What is the problem?

Dr. Lin is friendly, efficient, competent, thorough, and empathetic (without being patronizing)…read more Her first instinct is never to throw medication at me but to ask as many questions as necessary to understand contributing factors with my body, mind, diet, stress, and environment before recommending any course of action. Big focus on holistic care. My appointments always end proactively with action items and next steps... some for her, some for me. Feels like a combination of a friend, mentor, doctor, and coworker. She's really proactive about coordinating the exchange of medical information between different providers as well-it's rare to find a doctor than genuinely feels like an advocate. I found her after a couple years of majorly MEH "care" following a major health issue, so I was a pretty tough critic too. I just can't recommend her enough.

She's a good blend of personal, professional and "tell it like it is." I would highly recommend seeing her. On a side note, I've seen some of the other Dr.'s in the office and some are good, but there's one that's not particularly good - horrible bedside manner and rough. Don't know his name, however. Stick with Dr. Givens!

After much difficulty, I have a 6 and a 3 year old. Both are charming and nutty and fun and exasperating. I get to have all the experiences that 'regular' people do with children! IVF isn't easy, in fact, it's a grueling and emotionally and physically challenging endeavor. Less for some, but more for others. Three miscarriages left me despondent and questioning whether to continue. But they and I did, and I'm forever grateful. I brought my son in to visit when he was 4, and explained that Dr. Givens 'made' him. So much easier than bird and bees! Mostly, I'm a research hound, a doctor and probably the worst patient they could have. The time she and they took to help me achieve this goal of having kids was above and beyond any call of duty. I'd recommend PFC for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which is that it is because they are not affiliated directly with a university, they are able to customize protocols for patients. Without the pressure to publish and conduct ongoing clinical trials that mandate a particular protocol, they have flexibility to do exactly what they think is best. If you want to contact me directly, ask Dr. Givens to pass on your number or email.

He gave me a shot and some antibiotic pills and it cleared up in about a week. I am glad too, because now it is softball season.

TLDR; 1 star for the experience, the only saving grace here was that I was able to secure an…read moreappointment right away. Why I was able to do that, however, has become clear to me. My original PCP moved further away from my office a couple of weeks ago, and I needed a recurring prescription refilled ASAP, so it was time to begin my search for a new primary doctor. Drumm Medical is close to my office, accepts United Healthcare, and was the only doctor's office within a mile from me (Financial District) that was able to book me for an appointment within the week -- they actually suggested an appointment time for later that day! Objectively speaking, I went to my appointment and got my prescription written up without a hitch, but it wasn't the most pleasant experience. Prior to booking my appointment, I had read a scad of reviews bashing the establishment for lack of professionalism and for its unwelcoming environment. This was all true to a degree. The office and the lighting looked kind of janky (think the way the room in Saw was lit: slightly yellowish-green tint with some flickering lights) and Dr. Larson (the only doctor there, I believe) seemed very... call it "rough around the edges". He would ask me questions and if I didn't give a very direct answer, he would interrupt me and rephrase the question in a demanding manner to garner a more succinct answer (as you can see from this review, I'm unnecessarily verbose sometimes, so that may be partially my fault). While this works as a power play in business settings, when it comes to visiting my PCP, I don't want to feel like I'm speaking with Jack Welch or that ruthless AOL CEO, who brutally and publicly fired one of his executives on an all-hands conference call - I want to talk to someone who will take the time to listen to every hypochondriasis-induced complain or concern I may have, take it all in, and calmly tell me either "you don't have anything to worry about regarding X" or "we need to take a look at X asap, it sounds like Y, and you could be in danger of Z." I've probably watched too much House, but these small seemingly-innocuous details always seem to be what determines whether the fictional patient lives or dies a horrible and painful death. But, I realized this, got over it, and answered his questions concisely like he wanted; he wrote my prescription and I was on my way. The real trouble started when I went to CVS and they wouldn't fill my prescription because there was no quantity specified. There was a box that gave a quantity range, which he correctly checked, but they said an exact quantity had to be written in if they were to fill it. I left and called Dr. Larson and told him the problem. He responded in a very flustered manner: "What do you mean there's no quantity written? I WROTE THE QUANTITY". "No, I see a box that says 25-40, but no quantity," I timidly responded. Apparently, without looking, he retorted "I wrote quantity 30. 30, if you can recall, is between 25 and 40." Annoyed that he was patronizing me for a mistake that he made, I responded "I know what numbers come between 25 and 40 - thank you for the grade school lesson, but I am looking at the prescription you wrote here, and it says 'Quantity:' with nothing after it." He told me to hold and came back a few seconds later and apologized and admitted that he indeed had not specified a quantity. He told me to come back in the next day and he would have a new prescription ready for me. In the end, I got the prescription I needed, but I'm 99.5% certain I will not be seeing Dr. Larson again (especially not after publishing this review). I can handle a doctor who demands brief answers as their time is important and being in a service field for so many years can probably wear on your patience - I get that. However, the condescending way with which he used to speak to me over the phone, especially given that it was his fuck up, was inexcusable and just plain disrespectful. To keep my blood pressure low, I'll plan ahead for my doctor's appointments in the future.

Unfortunately, if you have a complex health problem, this is not the doctor you're looking for. I have multiple obscure health issues, and after investigating the most obvious solutions, it was as if Dr Blackman lost interest in me. He was initially engaging and seemed sympathetic, but after his first couple of diagnoses didn't pan out, he stopped trying. This would have been tolerable if he had been courageous enough to tell me that he couldn't help me, and/or suggested I go see another physician, but he kept stringing me along with the "you need time to recover" routine. After a couple of months of this, I started seeking out new doctors on my own, and found another doctor in the practice who referred me to several non-mainstream practitioners (acupuncture, physical therapy, osteopathic manipulation) who are starting to make a difference. I can't help but believe that I would be much healthier by now if Dr Blackman weren't so conventional and unimaginative.
