They let a woman with the same cold as me in an exam room before me and she was booked an hour after me! I'm surprised there isn't a better dress code. Staff was wearing personal hoodies over scrubs with various brand names and loose sleeves. I think it would be more professional and hygienic if they were provided uniform jackets or fitted long sleeves to wear under their scrubs. It made me feel like teenagers were working on me ...

I Had the worst service by an older caucasian female doctor who didn't even bother to evaluate me just starred at me and said she doesn't take repetitive motion claims and she denies my claim. She didn't even consider anything I stated as to how long I had this pain in my hand. She ask me what do you think is wrong as if I'm the doctor which is weird due to the fact that I came there to be examined not diagnose myself. I don't know how they're still open with the type of service she gave me. I was in the office less than 3 minutes. I email the facility to get paperwork related to my visit and was only given work activity status report. I attempted multiple times to receive the narrative report, diagnosis report and other paperwork regarding my visit and was ignored.

There was this one time I called last minute for a physical exam for my CNA program. The lady helped squeezed me in for an appointment right before my turn in date. My most recent visit was another physical into my LVN program and they were booked until the next month. I told them I needed the physical sooner and the guy was so helpful he told me of a cancellation and asked if I wanted it, which I did! The waits can take from 10-15 minutes which isn't too bad considering how packed and busy they are most of the time. The staff are all very nice and friendly. The nurses took their time when they saw me and never rushed my visits. They paid attention to my concerns and explained certain conditions and medications to me. The male LVN that helped drew my blood for my physical was very nice and talked me through the process so I knew what he was doing the whole time while educating me about drawing blood and LVN related stuff. Nurse practitioner Kelava was also very nice! I've seen her twice and she was super friendly and knowledgeable. On two occasions, I came in with some health issue and she diagnosed me and prescribed me meds which help me a lot. Very great team of healthcare professionals :)

Front desk girl said they are all booked up and lab work for a bloody infection wouldn't come back same day anyways.... But you should go to the Er.

She's the gatekeeper to be seen and at the hospital everyone agreed with me that it was kind of messed up they turned me away. I guess walk ins really aren't welcome... especially if you are an active bleeder. Thank you Seton for taking care of me after this place turned me away.

He treated us with so much patience and kindness from the moment he walked in. He took the time to really listen to my concerns, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and never made me feel rushed. What I appreciated most was how calmly and clearly he explained everything to me. He provided a lot of helpful information that put my mind at ease and helped me better understand what was going on with my child. As a worried mom, that meant the world to me. It's rare to find a doctor who combines professionalism with such genuine compassion. Dr. Tetwiler truly made a stressful situation much easier for both my toddler and me. I'm incredibly grateful for the care we received and would highly recommend him.

But suffer chronic fatigue it may be appropriate . if you are progressed beyond mild M.E. I recommend to go elsewhere. They lost a great physician Dr Champsi for another area of focus... There is a significant lack of understanding regarding the physiological realities of PENE, PEM, comorbidities, Gastroparesis (GP), SFN. Some cliche's such as assuming magnesium deficiency for common M.E. fasciculations. The care model is fundamentally inaccessible for anyone who is years into the illness assuming patients have significant financial resources and the energy to constantly navigate online portals, websites, supplements & the constant demand for forms, functionality scores. Most struggle to harness to communicate. Maybe one can type from a phone & get to a appt outside of your home every week or two You are expected to be at your message portal for frequent last minute schedule changes. Do they know what a crash is & how carefully patients need to schedule their energy, speech, upright tolerance etc? You are told you will lose out if you don't reply in 24 hours. The approach relies heavily on psychologizing & a paternalistic structure. patients can be passively aggressively scolded or penalized for experiencing emergencies. Many Chronically ill patients simply do not have the capacity to manage unfeasible administrative burdens on top of severe energy limitations. The head of the dept James C Yang is responsive & -he really wants to be zen but his NPD and patriarchal grooming is harmful to patients. He will reduce chronic pain to emotional state even with small fiber neuropathy. Does any physician know what small fiber neuropathy is? The dept also puts your personally shared info unrelated to illness on their portal which is seemingly vulnerable to hacking. In this day & age we still fail women & patients unless it fits their cherry picked narrative. Nothing will be made easy you will navigate fasting, websites, surveys, endless lab trips, there is zero clue how depleting it is. How on earth can an M.E. Patient get to office for 6 treatments week after week? If you find something experimental which helped - you will be penalized as if you are a child. Do they want you to improve or are they seeking credit for their achievements. Why aren't there house-call phlebotomists for patients? If you have a potentially urgent situation such as passing out - it wont be addressed.. If you attempt to communicate the stress it is causing you are viewed as a "difficult patient".. The nurse is very kind. Please update to Bateman Horne and M.E. Foundations for better comprehension Another 3 Kaiser docs work with my limitations. Its taken me 5.5 months to get clarity on another issue bc i refused a biopsy. The doc allowed me to space out respecting my energy limitations bc getting into the clinic is agonizing. One week may be easier. if you can use your phone- and have a few brain cells-that will translate to the M.E. Dept that you are fully functional. For many of us, including Ron Davis's son- we can type. Some of us can speak. Others struggle with all of it. your stress response will be scapegoated - yet they initiate relentless stress . Medical trauma is relentless & unacceptable. i made the mistake to attempt to explain. unfortunately, patients will encounter plenty of under- informed docs making appropriate recs for average healthy patients but extremely harmful for complex conditions...please do better

Sharing for awareness regarding the care I received during an MRI on 2/19/26 with a technician…read morenamed Mark, avoid if you can: Description of Incident Upon arrival, I informed the staff that I am a "hard stick" and required specific care for IV placement. Despite this: * Substandard Technique: The technician, Mark, failed to examine both arms for viable veins before attempting to prick me. * Physical Harm: Mark made 3 unsuccessful attempts. When I requested he stop after the third painful prick, he was dismissive of my concerns, stating, "I've been doing this for 24 years." This resulted in significant bruising on my left arm. They finally brought in a PICC nurse after that. * Procedure Failure: During the scan, the contrast administration was extremely painful because of contrast flow not being adjusted properly. Furthermore, the contrast did not appear in the initial images. Because of this technical failure, I was forced to return for a second MRI.

1 star for the cafeteria…read more I am writing as a patient to share a concern about the food environment at Mills-Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame. While I appreciate the medical care provided, I was disappointed by the nutritional quality and messaging reflected in the cafeteria offerings. Hospitals play a critical role not only in treating illness, but also in modeling healthy behaviors. When patients are advised to follow heart-healthy, low-sodium, or balanced diets, it is confusing and discouraging to see food options that do not consistently reflect those same standards. This creates a disconnect between what physicians recommend and what the hospital environment promotes. As a patient, it raises an important question about how seriously nutrition is being prioritized as part of overall care and recovery. I encourage the hospital to consider: - Expanding and clearly highlighting healthier, whole-food options - Reducing the prominence of highly processed and high-sodium items - Aligning cafeteria offerings more closely with clinical dietary guidelines - Providing transparent nutritional information to help patients and visitors make informed choices Improving the food environment would not only support patient recovery, but also reinforce the hospital's role as a leader in promoting long-term health and wellness. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Furthermore; having to write an evaluation or doctors note seems to be an inconvenience to him, also including irrelevant opinions based on how he feels unrelated to medical evaluation.

So I called the 800 and 650 numbers for HPSM and the lady was extremely helpful. She put me on hold and after a few mins assured me that someone from NEMS will call at 2pm to schedule an appointment!

They spoke among themselves in another language while making facial expressions that felt disrespectful, which created an uncomfortable environment. This behavior significantly impacted my experience before I even saw the provider. I also wanted to ask whether there is a reason translators are not available for non-English-speaking patients. Clear communication is essential in a healthcare setting, and this seems like an important area that could be improved to better support patients. This is something that truly needs to be addressed, as the mood of the visit is already affected at check-in. I hope this feedback can be used to improve customer service and ensure a more respectful, inclusive experience for all patients.

I was floored she would talk to patients with other therapists & their patients the way she does as they do exercises near by.... She is not compassionate at her job with patients that are in pain having exercises forced on them like me saying aggressively"come on" loudly! Once I waited at the outside area before coming in & she rudely said " why you sitting there, you know to knock"! I had knocked but it sounded like she was on a call! She is not warm, friendly or kind towards her patients! I called to make a formal complaint on her & asked them to call me so in detail I could say how this miserable, bitter this woman is to patients but no one ever called me like her direct Supervisor. One call I did receive or email stated "thank you for reaching us" etc nothing else no one followed up. I do not know how this Physical Therapist has been doing what she does for many, many years of how she even bragged about herself! What a joke, I feel sorry for all the patients she treats like myself & I'm sure no one knows about it since her immediate Supervisor never contacted me! By the way, only reason I went back to her is because I was a Workers Compensation patient & I really did need to complete my visits with her & by the time I changed to a new Physical Therapist it was probably too late to book full appointments that were later in months! Do not go to this woman "Kathy" as she treats her patients like crap!!! BEWARE!!!!!
