Dr. Wong is way more current on her stuff than most doctors I've met with, she was able to address all my concerns without confusing me, and she corrected a lot of bad habits. She wasn't a stickler for scripts that I needed, and she gave me really good lifestyle pointers I never thought about. The building is pretty Spartan and very... Chinatown Medical Office, but Dr. Wong's office is very clean and spacious, with a huge waiting room + in-suite bathroom. It has a unique Chinatown charm in an east meets west kind of way! There's also quest lab in the building. Her Yelp reviews are buried in other previous practices, she operates in 2 locations- this one and another in Sunset. I found her via ZocDoc where she has a really long list of praises from her past patients. She was definitely that really smart kid in class everyone expected to end up a doctor, you can tell she's super sharp when you talk to her.

Because my primary doctor retired a couple years ago, I needed to look for a new doctor close to…read morehome. I was so glad that I found Dr. Wong to be my primary physician after comparing a few doctors in my area. Dr. Wong is very patient and knowledgeable in discussing my health and concerns during my physical checkup. Her office staff is also very good in responding back to my calls and requests. A few months ago when I had a flu like symptom, I was concerned about COVID-19. It was close to late afternoon when I called Dr. Wong for an office appointment. She called me back quickly and was able to schedule a COVID-19 test for me at a nearby clinic. The test turned out to be negative so I had a peace of mind. My experience with Dr. Wong has been great and I highly recommend her.

Her integrative approach, comprehensive care for patients and families, and depth of knowledge is unmatched. She is an outstanding collaborator with respect to patient care; never in my career have I worked with a physician who comes close to providing the level of attention that Dr. Gofman gives both her patients and their outside providers.

We have been with Dr. Gofman for almost 2 years for both my toddler and baby. For the first time, I…read morefeel like my concerns are addressed with realistic ways to approach the issue to figure out what is going on. She is extremely knowledgeable, and she is up to date on new research coming out. For example, we were having issues with my son's umbilical cord, and instead of jumping straight to the doctors procedure option, she recommended a week of at home, less invasive treatment that ended up fixing the issue. I learn so much at my appointments and feel like Dr. Gofman makes time to ensure I have my questions answered.

I came here for my USCIS civil surgeon exam as part of my Green Card process. Dr Lin and Susan were…read morefantastic! They explained the entire process and walked me through the relevant tests and vaccines I needed to take. Dr Lin even went above and beyond by giving me general advice on my long term health. They were always reachable by phone for follow-up questions as well. I've been living in the US for 15 years and this was by far the BEST experience I have ever had at a doctor's office. I only wish Dr Lin took adult patients, I would definitely use him as my primary care physician!

His assistant Susan took it and now and I'm another person writing a good review :-) Both Dr. Lin and Susan were so very helpful with the whole process of the immigration medical exam and the I-693! They are very knowledgeable and because they've done it many times, I felt so safe and secure. Dr. Lin really took the time to make me feel comfortable even though I was nervous. He even gave us a recommendation for a lab which was also very nice! Everything was sooo smooth and uncomplicated. I'd do it again with Dr. Lin and Susan - THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Dr. Deshpande is very attentive and she remembers her patients well. She's a family doctor and she…read moreloves taking care of babies also. She does not hesitate to refer me to specialist when I need it and she even remind me to first check with my insurance whether the service is covered. She's a great doctor. The only draw-back is the office wait time. This family center has patients from babies to seniors and I think the receptionists can be more friendly.

Dr. Deshpande was great with our newborn.

She's got great bedside manner. I instantly felt comfortable with her. While she can seem rushed a bit (who isn't in this world of managed care), I never felt like we were getting short shrift. There can be quite a bit of waiting around, and the clerical staff can be a bit grumpy at times. Even considering that, I highly recommend Dr. Deshpande.

I had a thyroid storm in may of 2008 and ended up at St. Mary's. The consult specialist…read more(endocrinologist) was Dr Myers. In the beginning she was nice, sort of reminded me of my mother so I started to see her. Her receptionist is a problem. I managed to get on her good side, but in the beginning, after having been just released from the hospital, she said I'd have to wait at least 2 weeks. Then the doctor told me I shouldn't have waited (uhhh?). It got progressively worse after that. It seems Ann is the chairman of the local (or state?) endocrinologist board of specialists, so I sort of get the impression she's off stroking her ego rather than seeing her patients. She's often out of the office on vacations or trips and really does an incredibly poor job of finding someone to backfill. When she is in the office, she's booked solid and pretty much unavailable. I went to see my primary care doctor about something else and interestingly he knew far more about thyroid issues than Ann has ever illustrated. Bottom line: she's just unavailable, her assistant is a poor communicator and generally overwhelmed with everything, the entire practice is highly inflexible (won't email test results, won't have phone consults, must have appt for everything but never available). Plus she's sort of strange. She pulled a "I know you don't believe it, but you WILL get better" (and actually, I *did* believe I was going to get better... it's a highly treatable condition. Of course, after she did that over and over again I started to worry).

She seemed to be a popular doctor among the local folks I worked with in Japantown, and I felt quite lucky. I was fired from her, however. Dumped! (See Marian G's explanation, below.) I explained this situation to my other MD, who expressed her dismay. She really seemed disappointed that Dr. AW went "concierge". She said, "If those SAME people put their efforts towards helping us move towards Universal Healthcare coverage for the entire population......Doing what she did, that's no solution." I posted a symbolic number of stars here, but I'm sure you can figure out how many stars I really want to award here. From Marian' G.s Review: UPDATE: Dr. Aileen Watanabe will be moving to a new office (September 2007) and changing her medical practice to "concierge medicine" (which means she is limiting the number of patients) In addition to eliminating Medicare, HMO and Brown & Toland Medical Group and accepting PPO patients for a monthly fee of $250/a month.

Seriously. Every time I have any type of interaction with the office staff I feel grateful for their efficient, kind and professional follow-through. They are on the ball and happy to help. Recently i ran into a scare about my lungs which lead to a scare about my heart and they beautifully coordinated all the referrals I needed to see the right specialists and made sure test result after test result got to the next doctor i needed to see. Dr Lucas even made a point of calling me after hours to be sure i got the latest results and reviewed them with me to let me know my heart was working well - because she knew I was worried. Now that is genuine care. Thank you Doctor Lucas and your Great Team for always being there for your patients. You are the BEST. : )

I met with NP Lu who is very patient and addressed all my issues and concerns. She took the time to make referrals to the specialists that I need and ordered all the prescriptions I need. She never rushed the appointment at all. I''ve been with Kaiser and UCSF before who only gave me 10 minutes of their time. With NP Lu, I was with her for a while 30 minutes. Yay. Side note, it appears the front desk staff are all attractive young females. Not sure if that was intentional.

She has a tremendous wealth of…read moreknowledge and experience and she is generous in sharing this in order to help you get better. I initially saw Dr. Hanson for my annual check up, and when some test results came back "abnormal" I was worried and scared that something was really wrong. Dr. Hanson took the time to explain to me what the results really meant, and what we could actually do about them. She helped me to understand my situation and my different options. It was so satisfying to feel empowered to take charge of my health rather than just be told "watch and wait." While I am fortunate that my "abnormal test results" turned out to not be something more serious, I feel totally confident that Dr. Hanson would have been the best ally for guiding me through that as well. Word of advice: The receptionist/scheduling at CarePractice (where she works) can be a little wonky, so if you want to see Dr. Hanson - which trust me, you do - make sure to clearly specify that fact when you schedule.
