Frankly, I haven't felt strongly enough about anything (good or bad) to write a review. And I don't…read morewant to be hyperbolic. But, when my rheumatologist Dr. Amy Kehl recently moved from Mountain View to the Los Angeles area - I was moved to write something. She is by far the best doctor I've ever had. I know, I said I wouldn't be hyperbolic. And I am not. I would literally thoroughly enjoy every doctor visit with her. They were more akin to seeing a close family friend who actively listened and cared very much about my health and well being. She was incredibly knowledgeable in her field and provided advice and treatment that was beyond "just keep taking your medicine". All my other doctors are fine. I'm sure they're fine. Maybe they are even good. Who knows? Dr. Kehl has ruined the curve because she is the best. I know I shouldn't be be selfish. She is now doing research and actively advancing the science behind the treatment in Rheumatology. But I can't help but be a little jealous of all the folks in Southern California who now can locate and discover the best rheumatologist/family friend one could ever hope to find.

Very unprofessional, ditzy , uncaring. Also useless. When you need a refill, she's very slow.read more

In contrast to Drucie B., I found filling out forms about how I was feeling to be really useful for…read morefinding out what was working and what wasn't. The forms didn't take me long, and I generally did them outside of the session, and often the discussion of them only took 1 or 2 minutes during the session. If you want to know more about the good reasons for why Dr. Yeni-Komshian uses them, check out episode 2 of the Feeling Good podcast by Dr. David Burns. https://feelinggood.com/2016/10/28/002-t-testing-a-boring-topic-with-exciting-implications/ Helen has also been a guest on the Feeling Good podcast. If you want to get a sense of what therapy might look like, listen to the episodes she's in but even more so the episodes with live sessions, which have actual therapy. Just search for "live session" and/or "Helen" on this page: https://feelinggood.com/list-of-feeling-good-podcasts/ Lastly, Helen does mainly use cognitive-behavioral therapy, specifically TEAM-CBT, but she does use other methods as well, like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

I met Dr. Yeni-Komshian in 2002 when we were both training with Dr. David Burns at Stanford…read moreUniversity. Since that time, we have collaborated in the treatment of patients and instructed residents and PsyD trainees at Stanford. Helen's gentle, kind, thoughtful and sensitive approach to empathy make her an outstanding listener and therapist. Additionally, she practices evidence-based psychotherapy, including advanced psychometric measurements that take the guesswork out of the therapeutic process. She is an astute observer and skillful at conceptualizing complicated cases and helping individuals with multiple co-occurring problems. Finally, she is extremely skillful in the most advanced motivational methods as well as dozens of cognitive, interpersonal and behavioral methods. The depth and breadth of her knowledge and experience make her an excellent choice as a therapist for individuals suffering from relationship problems, unwanted habits and addictions, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. I'm proud to know Dr. Yeni-Komshian and to have had the chance to collaborate with her in patient care, train alongside her and to teach the next generation of therapists with her.

I went in for a checkup and also just to have a doctor with my name on file in case an emergency…read moreever comes up. My experience with Dr. Grossman was just OK. Parking in the area is decent, staff was nice, and the waiting room was fine, so I can't dock for that. Dr. Grossman was open to listening to my concerns, but as soon as I was done explaining myself he simply told me to go to a specialist rather than doing an initial examination or providing any advice on what I could do in the mean time. I found this a little frustrating, I would have liked if he could have at least "dug" a little bit into what I was saying instead of saying..."well im not a ____ specialist, but there's a great one down the hall". I expect my PCP to at least provide some input to my concerns, even if it's not his area of expertise (after all a PCP should know a little bit about everything right?) Edit: i forgot to mention that dr. grossman has an uncanny resemblance to larry david (Seinfeld, Curb your enthusiasm). i found this a little entertaining, but no stars added for that

I hadn't been to see a real doctor for a physical in about twenty years, and I thought it would be…read moregood just to get a general checkup. My last experience with a doctor (dermatologist) was less than excellent, so understandably, I was a bit leery since this was another referral. I had complained quite a bit, so my girlfriend asked her doctor buddies to refer someone with a good bedside manner. Dr. Grossman was great. He came recommended as "someone I would send a family member to." I totally agree. Though I was completely healthy - which he confirmed, saying my blood pressure was that of a childs, I was impressed with his sense of calm and patience. He actually took the time to sit and talk to me and find out more about me than just who was my health insurance provider. He was not rushed and did not treat me like a cow he was trying to herd through the place like so many other practitioners. I actually think he cares about his patients, and not just about moving them through so he can get a fast buck! He answered all of my questions, and gave me thoughtful solutiuons. I actually think he cares - this is good considering he is a care provider. The front desk staff was courteous, and the waiting room had comfortable chairs with plenty to read while waiting. I was not waiting long either - only a few minutes after I had filled out my papers, and then only a few minutes more while in the examination room. One overly thick lady sitting next to me was complaining that it was too warm in there, but I found it nice since it was so cold and windy outside. Parking was easy too - plenty of cheap meters and local lots. If you want to be treated like a human, go see Dr. Peter Grossman.

She cares and asks many questions that you feel she is a member of your family. My wife and her sister subsequently became her patients. She is diligent and response your requests; for example, my daughter from NIH needs a special request for her to pay special visits to see us in Senior house (Moldaw at JCC in Palo Alto). She signed the form at 2 AM and asked to get it next day. She spent overtime during our office visit as she goes through the file one by one including medicine, lab test and even for MRI test for my heart.

She's prompt to return calls and follows up. She does not over medicate and her approach to mental health is holistic. She's compassionate and a very good listener and gets to the bottom of the traumas. She goes above and beyond in providing care and, for someone with severe and deep rooted trust issues, I can say that she's one of the handful of people that I can trust. The tools she provided me continue to help me and her trauma work has really helped me react better to stressful situations. I can only say that I wish there were more doctors like her.
