    I had been putting off getting a colonoscopy for about 5 years because I really didn't like the…read moreidea and couldn't find a doctor I felt comfortable with. I actually chose a couple of doctors before but ended up canceling both times. Finally, after more searching, I found Dr. Kristina Hobson in Los Gatos. To be honest, when I first walked into her office, I was already looking for an excuse to cancel again. But once I spoke with her, I was really impressed with her knowledge and the way she explained everything, so I decided to keep my appointment. Today was my procedure at Silicon Valley Surgery Center, and I had such a great experience. The facility was clean, calm, and very nice. Every single person I interacted with was wonderful. From the front desk to Barbara, who helped review my paperwork everyone was kind and welcoming. My first nurse, Kay, was incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and professional. When she went on break, Nicole took over she was also amazing. I'm not a fan of needles at all, but she did my IV so gently and with so much care. Then Kat, the third nurse, took me to the procedure room she was kind, calm, and very professional. Dr. Michael Block, the anesthesiologist, was excellent. He actually texted me the night before to ask if I wanted to review everything ahead of time or on the day of the procedure, which I really appreciated. We exchanged a few messages, and then he spoke with me again before the procedure and explained everything clearly. He was confident, knowledgeable, and very reassuring. In the procedure room, I fell asleep within seconds and woke up quickly afterward feeling great. Within about 30 minutes, I felt completely fine. I was even able to take calls and respond to emails. And now, about Dr. Hobson ,she is truly a 10 out of 10. Honestly, the entire experience was 10 out of 10. From the office to the surgery center, every single nurse and staff member was exceptional. I'm a very detail-oriented and perfectionist person because of my job, so I don't say this lightly. Something I was so scared of and postponed for 5 years turned into such a smooth and positive experience. Thank you to everyone

    I would recommend verifying credentials carefully before choosing this clinic for USCIS immigration…read moremedical exams. At the time of my visit (March 2026), I was unable to confirm Dr. Neema's authorization status as a USCIS civil surgeon, which is required to perform exams and sign Form I-693. My family of three was charged $2,400, and the process took about three weeks. Unfortunately, the paperwork was not usable for our purposes, and we now need to complete the medical exam again with another provider. I also requested a refund but have not received one to date. Sharing this so others can do their due diligence with USCIS beforehand and avoid potential delays in their application process.

    I rarely write reviews, but this one deserves it. My visit to Dr. Neema Malhotra's USCIS Civil…read moreSurgeon clinic was the most frustrating and overpriced medical experience I've ever had. I went in for a simple USCIS immigration medical exam, and ended up paying $1,925 for two people -- far higher than any other clinic I contacted (most charge under $300 per person for everything). The staff used vague language and pushed me to pay for multiple "convenience" tests upfront, saying I could get a refund later if I brought records. That refund process turned out to be nearly impossible. During my first visit (Sept, 2025), I waited more than an hour before seeing anyone. Most of the interaction was with the front desk, not the doctor. My follow-up appointments were just as confusing -- I was asked to clarify signatures and even form barcodes while still not receiving the sealed I-693 forms required for immigration. After multiple visits and a month of back-and-forth, we left exhausted, out of money, and without the completed paperwork. If you're doing your immigration medical exam, please call other civil surgeons first. Ask for full pricing, turnaround time, and exactly what's included. You'll save yourself a lot of stress and hundreds of dollars.

    Jeffrey Gutman, MD - Saw Dr Gutman for a hernia surgery. Things went fantastic. Surgery went well. He is a very good doctor and his staff is great.

    I don't have a lot of experience with Doctors, but my limited experience with Dr. Gutman warrants a…read morereview. About a week ago, I notice some discomfort in one of my man parts, and after inspecting the area for days, I noticed a very small lump toward the top back of my testis (TMI I know). I spent the next few days unfortunately reading hours of information on Google and Reddit, along with hours of video on YouTube. My anxiety was so high, as I was convinced I had testicular cancer at 38 years old. I was able to make a quick appointment with Dr. Gutman after waiting only 2 days. I brought my wife with me, he sat us down, and asked me to tell him my concerns. After doing so, he performed the exam and within a minute, reassured me that what I had was a completely harmless cyst called a Spermatocele. I asked him to please check one more time because I wanted to be convinced. He knew how nervous I was, so he again thoroughly checked the area. When he told me there was nothing to worry about, he noticed that I had kid cash for the visit. Dr. Gutman proceeded to shake my hand and told his office staff to refund my exam fee. I was almost in tears with having the good news along with his selfless gesture. Great guy and I really appreciate him.

    I just learned over the last few days regarding horror stories regarding Dr Gutman and I'm crushed…read moreand so very disappointed. One situation was misdiagnosing one of my dearest friends. After dr Gutman's she visited another surgeon for a second opinion which turned out to be accurate and she did not need surgery. The situation which sealed the deal for me to lose all confidence in Dr Gutman was I just learned tonight, through a slip of the tongue, that while in high school my grandson had surgery for a pionoidal cyst. After surgery wound wasn't healing so returned to Dr Gutman who said it would heal just give it time and he was going on vacation. When I heard that I was very very upset even though it happened about three years ago. My daughter, grandson's mom, immediately took him to pediatrician who examined the would and referred them to wound care center. What kind of surgeon can't recognize and diagnose a wet wound that needs immediate attention at wound care. My opinion of Dr Gutman fell to the lowest score and I've lost all respect for him as a surgeon. His vacation was more important than his patient. With this information please do not put your trust and life in the hands of Dr Gutman. Don't mess with a grandma bear when it comes to her grandchildren. Think he's to preoccupied with his bridal gown designer and he's making bad medical decisions.
