My previous family doctor within Sutter Health no longer practices and informed me at the end of…read more2024. I have Rx to refill and the previous doctor ordered lab tests for me, I need a new primary to follow up, so I made an appointment with Dr. Kaine and visited his facility in Daly City on 1/8/2025. Dr. Kaine looked through my lab results and let me get some vaccinations that day. To summarize what I want to share here: Dr. Kaine and his office billed me with a wrong code -- 99203: for "a new patient visit when a patient has not been seen within a department in the past three years within the Sutter network" (see Sutter Health billing letter attached). I have been seeing doctors within the Sutter Health network since October 2022 -- my previous family doctor. In the past three years, I had 3 office visits with doctors within Sutter Health (see attached My Health Online record and my Sutter Page). Besides the records showing I am definitely not new to Sutter Health, the visit with Dr. Kaine was a "follow-up", he was reading the lab result other doctors had ordered for me, he should have known those results were within the network and not more than 3 years old. I called Sutter Health's billing office regarding this issue, and I received the attached billing letter, and refused to correct the mistake. I called the billing office, the representative suggested I talk with the doctor's office because the doctor's office submitted the code. I printed out my visit records and billing letter and took them to the doctor's office, the office staff said they had nothing to do with billing, and gave me a small yellow slip with the billing office's phone number on it. I do not know how billing codes get determined and submitted, but based on what I experienced, either: 1) Dr. Kaine's staff did not know the codes well enough / ignored my records/ chose to treat me as a brand-new patient, or 2) Dr. Kaine himself, after reading through lab results NOT ORDERED BY HIM, decided to use a code for patients who haven't seen a doctor for more than 3 years. Either way is not professional, I do not recommend Dr. Kaine and his office at all. Just a FYI Dr. Kaine tags as "family medicine" but he told me he no longer seeing kids. If it's helpful for people looking for family doctors.

She has her office assistant ask all adult women patients if they "want" a Pap smear. Such a terrible exam should only be inflicted on women if it is truly needed, not because women have been brainwashed into thinking they need it all the time. Dr. Kini should not perform Pap smears until she learns how to perform them without hurting the patient.

Despite this, we will stay with her since she's an excellent GP.

This review in no way reflects on Dr. Hoddinott's medical skills…read more My story: I had a sore throat and went to Yelp to see if people had good experience with local physicians. As Dr. Hoddinott had good reviews, I gave her office a call telling them that both my wife and I (40ish,very healthy, great insurance) are looking for a new doctor. I was told by the receptionist (this was 16 days ago) that the doctor would review our request and I would hear back from them the next day. I didn't. So I call back and another person tells me that "it can take several days for the doctor to make a determination about a new patient. She has lots of things on her desk". At this point I already have a bad feeling about the doctor and her staff if it takes them several days to get back to a new patient. But I thought I would perhaps get a call after a week. Nope.. Two Weeks? Uh-uh. It's not two weeks plus and no call-back. The doctor might be wonderful with patients. Unfortunately, for me the process of getting in to see her was a major turnoff. Doctor Hoddinott, work with your staff on a much better process for people who WANT to give you business. I am still looking for that elusive general physician!

It's not even in stock, they have to order it, but it's almost lunch time so come back tomorrow. RUDE! What a lack of professionalism and empathy here at Gellert Services Pharmacy. It's bad enough that most of the workers are unintelligible when leaving messages. It's not even like they speak English. Then they decided 15 minutes before lunch, they can't work at all! Now we have to come back some other day because they refused to order it, and they lied and said it was ready in 1 minute! Mind you, we have been requesting they mail my father's medications for 1 year. We've even talked to his Dr. They advertise on their website and on MyChart and HealtheLife that they can mail these drugs. After 1 year of constantly requesting, they haven't done anything! This place has really gone downhill. Pharmacy staff are rude, lazy, and unprofessional.

She had 1 main Medical Assistant on staff, James, who tried his hardest to get things done in an appropriate amount of time. She also has 2 front desk girls (Christile & Kayla) who answer phones, schedule appointments and etc. For that, I would make sure to consider the time they spend working on any person to be valuable and I wouldn't waste time giving them any form of an attitude. For a 3 person show, they're on top of their entire operation. If you call after 4, leave a voicemail.
