In fact, I like this office better than the old one.] Dr. Kramer is thoughtful, listens well and has excellent training. I think it is good that she has dual specialties in both pulmonary medicine and critical care. That means she spends some of her time over at John Muir in the ICU. To me that means if I ever had need to go to the ICU [which I hope I won't] she would be present if it was her week to be on-call there. I actually found Dr. Kramer upon the recommendation of a Stanford trained cardiologist-- he said she was "the best in the area" ! So if you have need for a pulmonologist, I would highly recommend Dr. Kramer.

They don't answer the phone, and even though some extensions allow you to leave a message, they never call back. This lack of communication is incredibly frustrating and unacceptable for a medical practice." The Diablo Pulmonary Medical Group staff does not even reply to MyChart messages. 2. What Felipe P. stated in their review, "Just got a bill from January, and nobody in billing answers. Called 3 times, left 3 messages and no response." When you call the office there is an option for Billing, which is use less, always received a recording to leave a message. This option and personnel need to be removed because they NEVER return a call. I even called at least three times and selected the option to schedule an appointment for I have had better luck some one answering. I asked the person who answered if the billing person was in (Sarah?), and of course she replied "No, but I can take a message." (Do not know what she did with the message for I never receive a call back.) I informed her I have left several messages via the Billing option and have never received a call back. What a plush job Sarah has.

His location is convenient and his staff cordial when you meet them in person. However, trying to reach his office for an appointment can be quite a challenge. The phone prompts are endless and usually no one answers and you have to leave a message. " To state "Please listen because our numbers have changed" is trite and useless". Every doctor's and business'es phone prompt says the same thing. Just get on with what the numbers represent. It is all very frustrating;to my brother in law because his MS. does not permit him to use a computer. Therefore the MUIR website is not useful. He must rely on the telephone because he also has impaired vision and cannot read his mail. . However, telephone communication issues are not just Dr. Hadley's. It's the same with all of our local doctors. Phone prompts and staff communications are generally very time consuming and frustrating. When I was a young boy My mother would call and my doctor would come to my house to treat me the same day or evening. He drove a Chevrolet or maybe a Buick.

I was able to pick up the at home sleep study test kit in a few days, and the in-office instructions on set-up and use were decent enough once I supplemented that with a quick YouTube online search on proper use for a successful test and data entry into the equipment. But then the wheels came off! I dropped the kit off to Dr. Nathan's office as promised the very next morning before 11 AM. I was told that due to the holidays, it would Nathan up to two weeks to view the data and write the report of my sleep study to my John Muir primary care doctor. I was told that the study and the data held in the device was quite good and I could expect the report in due course and timely. It has now been three weeks since the device was returned and the data entered into Dr. Nathan's office based system, but I have no report whatsoever, no response to my inquiries, and even telephone calls from my primary care doctor to Dr. Nathan (that apparently owns a financial interest in this sleep clinic) have been totally ignored. There is no justifiable reason why Dr. Nathan should take three weeks to compile what is almost certainly a machine-based standard report based on the electronic data downloaded from the sleep study device. The delay is bad enough, but being completely ignored is perplexing and very disappointing. I will not return to this clinic and I would not recommend it based on my experience over these last three weeks.

Both appointments with the physician started about 30 minutes late, with little communication or respect for patients' schedules. For a specialty practice, I expected a higher level of professionalism and organization. During my follow-up appointment, I asked for information on sleep position therapy and was told to look it up online. Rather than providing educational materials, a PDF, or even emailing basic guidance, I was shown a generic product image. I left without any meaningful documentation or support. The administrative side was equally frustrating. I had to follow up myself after my insurance adjusted the claim, and communication regarding billing was unclear throughout the process. While I understand how deductibles work and paid the amount determined by my insurance, the overall experience lacked transparency and patient-centered service. Interactions with some staff members were dismissive, especially when asking reasonable questions about billing and insurance. At one point, comments about patients being upset over deductibles were made loudly enough to be heard from the waiting room, which I found inappropriate and unprofessional. Most concerning, my sleep study results still had not been uploaded to MyChart two months later, requiring additional follow-up just to access my own medical information. Due to the combination of these issues, I ultimately filed a formal grievance with my health insurance regarding the quality of communication and follow-through. I hope the practice takes patient feedback seriously and improves both its clinical and administrative processes.

The pre-paperwork was a bit lengthy and during our appointment we went over my story. While I was able to confirm with her that my current medication was the best course of action, I didn't love that I later met with a Kaiser doctor who provided me with documentation that hypothyroid patients can have nasal nerves that go, for lack of a better word, haywire (falls under the term non-allergic rhinitis) and that lowering my dose as she suggested might actually cause the nerve to flare up. Overall I felt like One Medical had a better intake that was more thorough and helpful, and John Muir Allergy was overall more knowledgeable. At the end of the day, the out of pocket cost for the appointment was around $240, and I essentially got what I was looking for which was a discussion about my medication but I don't plan to move forward with Jiva Health.
