I went to Dr Stollman for a routine colonoscopy sceening at East Bay Endosurgery Center. EBEC has a…read moreseparate Yelp page, so this is just for Dr. Stollman. My experience was about as good as I imagined for a colonoscopy. Dr. Stollman was very professional and friendly, delivered information at an appropriate level, and was flexible to my preferences. I wanted to do the procedure without sedation (propofol), and the nurse I talked to a couple days before the procedure cleared it with Dr. Stollman. That was a neutral experience. Nice that I didn't get any pushback. But not sure I really got a full risks/benefits discussion--the nurse just focused on the risks. Understandably so, since I explained how I thought I would benefit (eg, faster recovery, memory of the experience). But other potential risks/benefits, like safety, never came up. And I still had to get an IV in the hand (presumably so I could be rapidly sedated if the procedure proved too uncomfortable), which was probably the worst part of the whole experience. The full IV bag just went in the trash after I was done. For whatever reason, Dr Stollman wasn't available to do my procedure at the appointed time, so during intake I was offered a different doc. I had already cleared my afternoon, and was able to reschedule my ride home, so I chose to wait instead (bring a book!). I cooled my heels for an additional hour or so. Not sure I can put this on Dr Stollman. Stuff comes up. And the people managing his schedule (ie, EBEC) have their own Yelp page. The procedure went well. Obviously doing this for years, Dr Stollman seemed very adept and efficient. He narrated throughout the procedure, much like a tour guide, which I really appreciated (he did offer a more silent experience, which I declined). I also feel like he did a thorough job. Dr Stollman gave me a written report at the end of the procedure, including color pictures. Perhaps that's standard (rather than just sending to my primary), but I still appreciated it. Overall, I would definitely recommend Dr Stollman. He was the highlight of my experience at EBEC, and I would definitely ask for him again.

Dr Frederick and his staff are some of the finest medical professionals I've met, let alone been a patient of. I've been seeing him for over a year now for my autoimmune liver disease and he has been the most reassuring, encouraging, helpful Physician I've seen during this process. His staff are professional and meticulous. If you're a bit scatterbrained like myself, they'll send you helpful reminders and phone calls regarding your upcoming appointment. If your refills run low, it's a quick phone call and an almost instant refill. Most importantly, Dr Frederick takes to heart your unique case. He's unafraid of reaching out to colleagues for input and will utilize all possible avenues to achieve an understanding of what's ailing you and what's most likely to help. I am a very appreciative patient of Dr Frederick's. I know his job must be extremely taxing and stressful, but he makes the effort to appear calm and reassuring in all of his encounters. It's the part of being a physician that can't be taught in a classroom. Even when news of my condition isn't the most positive, he does his best to infuse hope into his explanations. I only wish I could do more to express my gratitude.

Everything was kind and copacetic until scheduling the endoscopy. I called back to ask just a ballpark amount for this procedure since I didn't yet meet my deductible. Front office demeanor completely changed and I was made to feel that I was asking something offensive. In a series of calls I was yelled at and given lectures on how American insurance works, told "that's not how this works", told that my insurance company would never provide me something like this and nor would they, told I need to call the facility/an anesthesia contracted company/pathologists/a lab on my own, that I needed to somehow know every CPT code they might use (which I got sooner from google than them), tax ID codes to the facilities, etc. What I was never given was a ballpark price. I was asking a rough guess. Not for full accounting charts and graphs. I had no idea if this costs $1000, $5k, $10k. Never got a single clear answer from Dr Conlin's office and they refused to tell me even what their doctors fee was so I could somewhat gauge that portion (saying "what we charge depends on your insurance") Ultimately it was my insurance co that said the average out of pocket cost was $1700-2750 for this area, but Sutter affiliates had higher than average charges compared to other hospitals for this. My gut told me not to go here, but I needed this issue looked at. My endoscopy appt was made for 9am, but the appt reminder calls I received all said to show up at 6am for a 7am procedure time. NBD. Arrived at 6am and presented my Covid test but they said they would not accept a rapid Binax test (the type of Covid test was never clarified prior and this is what the county hospital and SF dept of health use in urgent care). They wanted me to pay to get another rapid test next door. Thanked them for their time and told them this was all the signs I needed to not go here. I felt I could trust Dr Conlin himself but did not have a positive experience here due to the scheduling and front office experience, and distrust of the obscure billing practices under the Sutter umbrella. I unfortunately would not recommend. Ultimately went with another endoscopy center that was more kind and immediately helpful with this info.
