The therapy Jacque provided helped to resolve all of the speech delays and challenges that my kiddos had, which, again, is amazing. In addition, the scheduling, billing, and overall level of service provided by Kate was top notch - very responsive and friendly, and understanding when things like last minute illnesses (#kiddolife) popped up and caused us to miss sessions.

She is just not good with kids. She doesn't have the patients for the kids who need it the most. The kids who have short attention spans.

But if you have a special needs child like mine I have no better words to use other than "useless". Please don't waste your time.

I actually chose a couple of doctors before but ended up canceling both times. Finally, after more searching, I found Dr. Kristina Hobson in Los Gatos. To be honest, when I first walked into her office, I was already looking for an excuse to cancel again. But once I spoke with her, I was really impressed with her knowledge and the way she explained everything, so I decided to keep my appointment. Today was my procedure at Silicon Valley Surgery Center, and I had such a great experience. The facility was clean, calm, and very nice. Every single person I interacted with was wonderful. From the front desk to Barbara, who helped review my paperwork everyone was kind and welcoming. My first nurse, Kay, was incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and professional. When she went on break, Nicole took over she was also amazing. I'm not a fan of needles at all, but she did my IV so gently and with so much care. Then Kat, the third nurse, took me to the procedure room she was kind, calm, and very professional. Dr. Michael Block, the anesthesiologist, was excellent. He actually texted me the night before to ask if I wanted to review everything ahead of time or on the day of the procedure, which I really appreciated. We exchanged a few messages, and then he spoke with me again before the procedure and explained everything clearly. He was confident, knowledgeable, and very reassuring. In the procedure room, I fell asleep within seconds and woke up quickly afterward feeling great. Within about 30 minutes, I felt completely fine. I was even able to take calls and respond to emails. And now, about Dr. Hobson ,she is truly a 10 out of 10. Honestly, the entire experience was 10 out of 10. From the office to the surgery center, every single nurse and staff member was exceptional. I'm a very detail-oriented and perfectionist person because of my job, so I don't say this lightly. Something I was so scared of and postponed for 5 years turned into such a smooth and positive experience. Thank you to everyone

The doctor told me, without hesitating, that the belching was due to artificial sugars, the pain was from my previous back fusion and there was no way i could have carcinoma because i was too healthy. well, 4 weeks later when belching did not getting better after quitting artificial sweeteners, i went to another GI doc (not sutter) who suggested i might have SIBO (Small intestinal bacterial overload) which turned out to be true and was fixed with a course of expensive antibiotics. Turns out the pain was due to metastases of my endometrial cancer (Stage 4B) infiltrating my appendix. so, wrong on all 3 counts. and he was SO SURE OF HIMSELF!

My experience with Dr. Vittal leaves both his integrity and competence in question…read more After a CT scan revealed a lesion in the head of my pancreas, my GI doctor recommended an EUS-FNA for a definitive diagnosis. The radiologist suggested it might be pancreatic cancer, a shocking possibility given the disease's aggressive nature and poor prognosis. On June 19, 2024, I underwent the EUS-FNA procedure at Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, performed by Dr. Vittal. He presented himself as highly experienced, claiming to have performed thousands of similar procedures. After the procedure, when speaking with my wife, Dr. Vittal initially advised waiting for the lab results but then stated that, based on his experience, he was "pretty sure" I had a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET)--the same type of pancreatic cancer Steve Jobs had. He added that many of his PNET patients live for years, but if I had the other type of pancreatic cancer, "you die." This conversation left me believing I might have a few years to live, like Jobs The procedure also left me with significant bruising on my lower lip and mild bruising on my upper lip, which took about five days to heal. Two days later, a pathology report was prepared, revealing that Dr. Vittal had failed to obtain a sample from the actual lesion. However, he did not inform us of this until nine days after the procedure--and even then, he contacted my wife, not me. During that call, he falsely claimed that the test results were inconclusive so there's no pathology report. He then insisted that another biopsy was necessary, despite his prior confidence that this would not be required. Without consulting me, his staff scheduled the repeat procedure just one to two days later. Several aspects of Dr. Vittal's handling of this situation raise serious concerns: 1. He misled us by claiming no pathology report existed when, in reality, it did. 2. He hastily scheduled a repeat procedure after failing to obtain a proper sample. 3. He bypassed me, communicating with my wife instead of addressing me directly. We only uncovered the truth after requesting the pathology report through the patient messaging portal. To this day, it has not been uploaded as an official test result, suggesting an attempt to conceal his error--not just from me but from PAMF records as well. This lack of transparency is unacceptable and calls into question Dr. Vittal's integrity and competence. Patients deserve honesty, accountability, and full access to their medical records to make informed decisions about their care. Furthermore, any delay in providing results can be detrimental, particularly in cases where pancreatic cancer is a concern. I have since transferred my care to Stanford, where doctors reviewed the same CT scan from PAMF and performed a new EUS-FNA. They correctly diagnosed me with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) originating from the duodenum--not pancreatic cancer at all. I have always trusted PAMF for my healthcare and hold its doctors in high regard. However, my experience with Dr. Vittal has left me deeply disappointed. His actions suggest a disregard for patients' best interests, raising serious doubts about both his integrity and his competence.
