I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Ravindran in June 2024 after waiting nearly three and a half…read moremonths due to my complex medical history. Despite my appointment being at 4:00 PM, I was running about 10 minutes late and called the office to ensure my appointment wouldn't be canceled. They assured me it would be fine and confirmed I was on my way. I arrived at the office and checked in at exactly 4:13 PM. However, when the front desk checked with Dr. Ravindran, she refused to see me. I even requested very politely about my wait time for this appointment and my complex medical history. As a healthcare worker, I understand the frustration with consistently late or no-show patients, but this was my first time, and I had called in advance. This was an incredibly unempathetic and unreasonable service. I am very disappointed. I would have given a negative star if possible.

The staff were helpful and the office environment was calm and efficient. When I later had some lab concerns, she reached out personally with a plan and made sure I understood next steps. What I appreciate most is that she balances professionalism with genuine care. you leave the appointment not only informed, but cared for. For anyone looking for a thoughtful, involved primary care physician in the Orinda area, I highly recommend her.

She listens to me, she is thoughtful and practical in her care regime and she takes her time with you. She's a fantastic doctor. It's been almost 9 years and I couldn't be happier.

First, I'll start by saying that Dr Pammi is nice but her work schedule and how her staff schedules…read moreappointments is the most horrid display of efficiency. I've been a patient for almost 10 years. Every time I called I've never been able to see the Dr the same day. There are two simple reasons: 1) Scheduler doesn't allocate enough slots for current patients who have pressing medical needs 2) Dr has limited schedule and only works 30hrs a week. To compare, my kid's pediatrician has always accommodated same day appointments. I've asked him how he's able to do this and it's quite simple. Scheduling and the amount of hours he puts in. The staff here is good at telling people to call their Urgent Care. That's where the money maker is. These doctors don't have to work 40 hours or more or have a quota of patients to see a week. They get paid regardless. There's no reason for them to work longer days and accommodate their current patients. Saving the best for last. Was suffering from major pains and asked Dr for recommendation. Staff called back and said Dr isn't able to provide any because she hasn't seen me in almost 4 years. I laughed so hard. Good luck getting an appointment.

Dr. Jain provides excellent integrative medical care, combining the age-old wisdom of traditional…read moreAyurvedic Medicine with the practice of modern Allopathic Medicine (and other medical modalities offered in her clinic). This has a number of key advantages that are surprisingly hard to come by in a doctor: 1) By practicing Ayurvedic Medicine, Dr. Jain focuses on promoting an overall state of mind-body wellness, with a keen emphasis on metabolic and digestive health. 2) As a licensed medical doctor, Dr. Jain is adept at modern medicine, and her clinic accepts most forms of medical insurance. 3) More importantly, Dr. Jain exercises a great deal of wisdom and insight within these two realms of medicine, as well as several other medical modalities that are at her disposal in her integrative clinic. I highly recommend Dr. Jain, especially if you suffer from chronic illness and have become disillusioned with the inherently conflicted industry of mainstream Medicine, big Pharma, and the $cientific Industrial Complex...

I am also bummed that she is closing her practice. I was only able to interact with her a few…read moretimes. 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.

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!

We came to Dr. Shah for Hyaluronic Acid injections, and the results exceeded our wildest expectations. After decades of dealing with pain in both knees, my mom is finally pain-free. Dr. Shah was not only highly skilled and professional but also incredibly compassionate. She took the time to explain the procedure and made sure my mom was comfortable throughout. The difference is night and day--my mom is now walking without pain for the first time in many years. If you are looking for an doctor who truly cares and delivers results, look no further than Dr. Shah. I also want to extend a huge thank you to Michael, Hazel and the entire staff for being so warm, welcoming, and efficient during our visits. From the front desk to the medical assistants, the entire team made my mom feel comfortable and cared for from the moment we walked in.

My mom is in her 80s and was seen at John Muir for memory issues. What I want to say very clearly:…read more A person with memory issues does NOT REMEMBER that they can't remember. I went with her and very clearly stated all of the issues in front of both my Mom and Donna S. Donna S suggested that her other doctors consider prescribing Donepezil - for memory issues and an amyloid blood test. However, when she went to Sherille Sevilla and Maridez Jenkins she does not remember all that was discussed and agreed. She tells them all that she was tired when she did the 3 hour assessment and it was not valid. I don't know why the doctors don't coordinate more and understand the report and all the notes. It is very clear from both the assessment and my statements to them that she has severe short term memory issues. The fact that instead of using the assessment and my very specific details they listen to her when she says that she is fine (because she does not remember anything) is just ridiculous. My understanding is that many of the prescriptions for memory only stop the progress. This means taking them sooner is better. This is not the first signs of memory issues for her at all. This has been ongoing and I finally had hope that doctors would help her and start addressing the issues. But they COMPLETELY FAILED us. Now I don't know what to do. She thinks everything is fine and it is truly terrible and sad. She was a college professor and incredibly smart. And her decline is awful - but made SO MUCH WORSE by doctors who do not coordinate and do not listen.
