I could not be more pleased with Dr. Paley. He is deeply empathetic.

My husband and I have been patients of Adam Paley for decades. He listens during office visits, and…read moreprescribes tests and medication as needed, but always gives me the option to go the route of less intervention rather than more. My father was a physician so I know good medical care when I see it, and Dr. Paley provides excellent primary medical care. It is true that calls to the office may not be returned the same day, but if you contact the office through the on-line patient portal, you almost always get a same-day response. As for the complaint that Dr. Paley pushed the COVID vaccine, medical science has shown that the risk of serious complications or death from COVID is astronomically higher than complications or death from the vaccine. He is following medical science and protocols in advocating that a patient reduce risk by getting vaccinated. But the choice is still the patient's.

I'm sad to give this review but after four canceled appointments by this doctor all happening after…read moreI had to take a day off of work and drive 45 minutes only to find out when I got there and waited 20 minutes in the waiting room that: 1st time: the doctor left,I was told she had to go home for some reason! 2nd time :I was told the person from PAMF who scheduled me made a mistake and the doctor doesn't have time to see me now!! 3. Rd time the staff come out to tell me the reason was she is on a lunch break, and then has to go to a meeting, are you kidding me ?? 4th time I came on tome and did what the my health app told me to- I checked in online and it said you're checked in go to the waiting room and wait for your name to be called so I went to the waiting room. No one came to call me 10 minutes went by and then I heard my name and went to the front desk and they said oh no you were supposed to check in here. I waited 10 more minutes and then a nurse came out and told me I'm sorry the doctor can't see you. Your appointment was 11:40 and it's now 1150:. The doctor has to go to lunch and then she has a meeting! I couldn't believe this happened for a fourth time and I went asked to speak to the doctor and I was waiting again for them to give me a reply. They came back out and said well she can help you make another appointment, but she can't see you ---what the heck?? I'm in my 60s I never in my life have had such a horrible experience in the span of 1 1/2 weeks having my appointment canceled four times that is just unacceptable to me. I'm very concerned about what happened to the level of care at PAMF!!! They think it's OK keep me waiting for 20 minutes or more when I have an appointment and have then have the nerve to tell me the doctor is not there or at lunch?? and I have to go home and come back another day and make another appointment four times in a row! This doctor couldn't take five minutes to talk to me, especially after Im coming out of the ER the day before- this is highly inconsiderate and disrespectful to your patients. I changed doctors. I have had enough even though I really liked Dr. Altman five years ago when I first saw her, but now she and her staff show no respect or concern whatsoever for what they put me through . No apologies were given, no accommodations were made for their incompetency in scheduling and caring for and managing the patient. And the attitude I got was if it was no big deal for them to send me home and come back another time. I have a busy life. I have a job and can't keep taking time off because of scheduling mistakes my time is valuable also. The first time I was sent away, I had Covid and it was really difficult for me to walk to the appointment and even get there and they had the nerve to send me home due to their scheduling error. Shame on This practice!! To pour salt on the wound when I left, I must have lost my parking ticket and there's no attendant in the booth anymore so I couldn't get out of the parking lot without paying $35 for spending less than an hour in the parking lot!

She didn't listen to a word I said and told me she'll follow up after running a test. When UTI test came back negative, she didn't even bother to follow up. After I reached out, she told me to schedule another appointment to talk about my symptoms again. All she cares about is charging your insurance and get rid of you as soon as possible. It's really sad that there are very few doctors at Sutter that care about their patients.

Dr's office person: "Uh huh, yes it does" me: "So..." Dr's office person: "No he is not" me: "is there another doctor in your practice who is accepting patients?" (since several doctors are listed at the 1 Baywood location) Dr's office person: "no we are a single person practice" me: "OK... You should change the..." She hangs up on me This was at the beginning of the day, so she was not tired or stressed already. What the hell? There are lots of doctors out there, perhaps Dr Kawano needs to review his office staff.

They should learn from before on the better way on scheduling an appointment. I know it is hard to predict how long doctor has to take care each patient but it shouldn't be that difficult.
