I had a great experience with Dr. Minnis to repair a hernia. We met at his office at Bon Air, and…read morehe was very patient, and had plenty of time to explain all the details to me. About three weeks later, the procedure took place at Marin Health, and it was a very pleasant experience in every way. The staff is quite nice and everything went smoothly. I got out about five hours later and felt somewhat sore and tight. Within three days, it was all feeling pretty darn good, and within two weeks it was almost as if it has never happened! I was really impressed with the entire result, especially with Dr Minnis. I think he is extremely experienced and competent, and I highly recommend him!

While Dr Kim's academic achievements are impressive, his communication skills are woefully lacking…read more By that I mean he did not communicate basic information about a procedure until AFTER he performed it on me. I was scheduled for a consultation regarding a cyst in my wrist. Going into it, I knew I preferred draining the cyst, as opposed to cutting it out, and anticipated discussing this option. Instead, he went and got the supplies necessary to drain the cyst right then. It seemed silly to object and insist on scheduling a future appointment to do something he was ready to do during the current appointment, so I agreed. After he drained the cyst, he told me there would be some swelling because he'd injected it with cortisone. That was all he said. I had to ask if there were any restrictions on using my wrist, to which he responded that I should wear a wrist brace - for a MONTH. That is the kind of thing a patient needs to know AHEAD OF TIME. Luckily I had a wist brace at home, because that was not provided. I was surprised to discover I was unable to move or use my fingers the entire day because even the slightest movement of the fingers was very painful. That night when I took the brace off to change into my pajamas, my entire wrist was discolored from bruising. Dr. Kim did not mention anything about pain in the fingers & wrist, being unable to move the fingers & wrist, or bruising. I have no idea if those are normal consequences of the procedure, or if they are a sign that something is amiss. Dr. Kim acted as if this was similar to having blood drawn; they stick the needle in, it's uncomfortable for a moment, and then you go on your merry way. If I had known I would not be able to use my hand for a month, I would have scheduled the procedure accordingly. For example, after the huge project I need to complete in the coming weeks. Now I have a firm deadline approaching and I can't use one of my hands! This is a big problem for me. I also would have communicated whether or not I would permit him to inject my wrist with cortisone. Dr. Kim made no mention of risks or possible complications. It feels violating to have a Dr. mislead you about a procedure.

This is a repeat of a review I just put on Google (for those looking at both sources): I was…read morereferred to Dr. Alfrey for surgery recently (March 2026). The preop appointment was fine and answered my questions around what the procedure would consist of. My day at Marin Health started well with great preop care by the nursing team. I think the surgery went well, though I had to deduce this on my own as everything after the surgery, in terms of communication by the surgeon, his care team, or the Marin Health staff was inconsistent or absent. This includes no post op conversation with anyone at all, no response to any MyChart messages asking if the surgery went well and if the tumor was removed as expected, and no wound check until 12 days postop - which is surprising given the size of the incision, surgical staples and tension sutures that were utilized. I was unable to reach the surgeon or his staff when the wound site worsened at day 6, and when I finally did reach them (after repeated calls that were not returned), they simply said "Go to the ER if you are concerned." I did that, and the ER staff were great - and also surprised to see that there had been no wound check scheduled. It turned out the wound needed additional care and they provided it. When I saw Dr. Alfrey at the 12 day mark, he shared no information about my surgery, seemed completely disassociated from my actually being present in the exam room (he was teaching a PA), and was monosyllabic in answer to my questions. I hear he is good technically in surgery, so that's something. His patient communication skills are subpar and in no way could I recommend him to anyone I care about. I truly hope this is an outlier experience. I have been a long time supporter of Marin Health but will do a good bit more research before scheduling with them for anything future - it's not worth it to risk that kind of experience. My letter last week to the hospital leadership about the above went unanswered, which leads me to posting this review online so that others are aware.

Dr. Alfrey was my doctor when I was admitted into the hospital at Marin General. He was arrogant,…read moreunkind, he dismissed my pain and he misdiagnosed me. I had just undergone a massive surgery that I had to fly to Atlanta for. It took a team of very specialized surgeons to do the procedure. I believe because Dr. Alfrey wasn't the surgeon who did the procedure, he was annoyed to be dealing with me. It turns out I had a post surgery infection but instead of putting me on antibiotics, he sent me home and a week later I went septic. While I was under his care in the hospital he was incredibly rude, condescending and dismissive. My surgery was extensive and complicated, yet Dr. Alfrey refused to read my medical reports even when I directly asked him to. Instead, without telling me, he took me all off all pain medicine only days after this extensive surgery. The entire nursing team and others were alarmed. They helped me request a transfer to another doctor. It was only at this point that Dr. Alfrey finally decided to read my medical history. He then sent me home and told me I was fine, when actually I had a serious infection. I ended up back in the hospital with even more serious complications. At that point I was septic, and spent another 2 weeks in the hospital and a month of home-care to fix the damage caused from dismissing me the first time I came in. If you find yourself assigned to Dr. Alfrey, it's so important to know that his arrogance and callousness is an open secret. **All** of my nurses in the hospital shared with me that he has a reputation for being difficult and uncaring with patients. They also mentioned he has a reputation for his patients getting post-surgery infections! Given his very senior position in the hospital, he must have some special surgical skills. But if you find yourself dealing with Dr. Alfrey, I think the question to ask is, --is he actually genuinely interested in your case? He's probably not going to care about you in a human way. And if he decides you aren't interesting (or if you are a woman and he decides you're hysterical), I believe you may get dangerously, dangerously bad care. Given my experience, I would run. It was very scary. I will never forget the terrifying feeling of being trapped under his care. I have never experienced anything like it and I've dealt with many doctors over the years given my condition.

The front office is a mess - it has to be the worst experience I've had with a group of doctors. This is a really bad situation. I would stay away. I did actually have to DRIVE to their office while I was "on hold" telling me that they were "busy with other patients". Still after 35 minutes of drive time, I walked in and a lady was sitting at her computer and I asked why no one was picking up the phone - I've been on hold for over 1/2 hour. She said she had no idea. The place was empty expect for a few people walking around looking busy. I did schedule an appointment there - and actually had a treatment. It didn't really do the job. So, I have been trying to go a reschedule - to no avail. Bad follow up, bad front office and not worth the aggravation. I would really avoid these guys.
