My feminizing body contouring surgery went well. First off, before I rate my surgeon, I want to go over few things you all should know before you undergo a BBL procedure, think carefully because I've seen a patient experiencing complications before the patient went away due to too much fat removed from the abdomen. Second of all, thanks to my surgeon from Align which is Dr. Dev Gurjala who did my amazing hourglass body to become more feminine instead of saying "Arnold Schwarzenegger" a lot of times because my old rectangle figure is getting extremely annoying too. I think Sabrina Carpenter figure is what my hourglass body to look like afterwards. Tomorrow, I'm going to have both of my drains out and I hope I will feel better soon to get my best results. Please wish me a speedy recovery... read more

Post Street Surgery Center - Sports Medicine Near Me - San Francisco, California

Literally the most unprofessional people I've ever dealt with. They canceled my surgery less than a day before it was supposed to take place, thereby throwing one and a half to two years down the toilet. I did absolutely everything requested of me to get this surgery done and what was supposed to be like my one and only xmas gift just to basically be "fuck you" by them a few days before xmas. After all of this planning, post street surgery proved that they are absolutely not to be trusted. If you do put yourself in their hands, be prepared for a massive letdown. If justice be served, post street surgery will be put out of business and whoever canceled my surgery will burn in hell. May karma bite the hell out of these people's asses. DO NOT TRUST POST STREET SURGERY, THEY WILL LET YOU DOWN IN THE MOST DISRESPECTFUL WAY POSSIBLE! -Shayna Ghram-Kaiser read more

They asked me for 11k up front the day of surgery just for the facility fee. Then told me they refused to do my surgery unless I paid at least $3,000 of it. I have never heard of a facility trying to bill a customer without going through insurance first in network or not. My out of pocket max out of network was 8.5k so that 11k they asked for was flat out of nowhere. Now they are asking my insurance for $40,000 and not citing that I paid the $3,000 at all. They are also not giving me an itemized bill, and only listing "outpatient surgery" 5 times They were also rushing me because the anesthesiologist was ready to put me under and they were trying to pressure me to pay them this random 11k out of pocket. Please do not pay them up front, there is something wrong here. read more

I can't say enough good things about Post Street Surgical Center. Everything from checking-in, surgery, to after-care is such a comforting and easy process. But, the best thing about Post Street is the nurses and staff that work there. I appreciate everyone of them for being such kind and amazing people. read more

This is an easy-access low-key surgical center. The only issue I had is you have to walk down the hall and (often) wait in line if you want to use the bathroom. The bathroom is located amongst offices and is a single-use bathroom, not handicapped accessible. I don't know what they do if someone is handicapped. Also they got my name wrong on a main sheet and my doctor asked for a corrected version and never got it. However, it didn't end up being a big deal at all. My surgery went smoothly and my surgeon was phenomenal. The staff and nurses were all friendly and wonderful too. They even sang me off to sleep before the operation -- they let you pick a song to fade out to, and it turns out, everyone knows Bob Dylan. I didn't have to think twice, it was alright. I couldn't use crutches because of some issues I have with my upper body, and they were very cool about giving me a walker instead. They had to make sure to give me a lesson on it, so we did that as I left. They were very accommodating and even made sure that I got into the car alright. I would be happy to come here again if I needed surgery. It definitely took less time and hassle then when I had surgery in the hospital in the past. read more

Review is on scheduling and check in. We were told to come in 1.5 hours before a procedure. Check in took 3 minutes and could've been completed in 2 minutes, had I emailed some information beforehand - not bad at all. However, we waited for 50+ minutes, no one came out to temper expectations and I had to hit the door bell in the front hallway to find some assistance. There was food delivery a few minutes earlier, so maybe the staff was busy stuffing their faces. Nonetheless, I find it frustrating and a waste of our time to sit in a lobby for 1.25 hours doing absolutely nothing. A staff member did come out after I inquired on next steps, but then said they might be later than expected. I understand medical procedures can go over and that waiting is part of the deal, but take the time to be communicative with patients.  I would recommend finding another place for your procedure based solely on customer experience, lack of communication, extended wait times, and general lack of professionalism from the staff. This review is not reflective of the doctors/nurse staff, as we're still hurrying up to wait and meet them. Adding more: it's now been 5 hours in which was supposed to be a 45-60 minute procedure. Apparently our son was seen later than expected, but none of that was communicated so we thought there was complications and had to wave down a staff member for an update. I'd give a ZERO rating if I could. I hope the surgeon's expertise is not the same as what we've encountered here. What a charade, feels like a third world country establishment. More to add: on 6 hours of waiting now. Pathetic. Hour 7 now, it gets better: they give a prescription and don't even bother to ask me where to call it in. Now I have to go to the pharmacy and eat up another hour of my time. Loss of words now. I will call the business manager and administrator to see if this is common practice. Perhaps they can use this as a coaching moment so other uniformed patients don't waste their time. In summary: asked to arrive at 1045 for a 12:15 procedure and left at 5pm and now off to pharmacy for another 1hr or more. I am embarrassed for this place. Horrendous, unacceptable, and poor level of service. Update: 9/9. Received a call from the business administrator who was genuine, sincere, caring and 100% professional. He agreed that this level of service is unacceptable and that it will be used as a coaching opportunity for staff members. I raised the review by 1 star based on that, which does not erase the experience above. read more

Went here for my arthroscopic hip procedure with Dr Sampson. Having played rugby all my life, I've unfortunately been to the hospital a number of times, and this was such a nice change from the hospital. The staff were very courteous and the entire experience was very welcoming and easy. Definitely make this your choice if you have an option. read more

My husband had surgery with dr. K last Thursday. Dr. K is a life saver. He's a miracle doc! My husband had a herniated disc and was in horrible pain for about 4 months. The nurses and anesthesiologist were so friendly and and attentive. I really did appreciate everyone's kindness. What really mad me quite distrait was the fast that they made up pay $500 up front before any services could be rendered. They basically told my husband if you don't pay we cannot do your surgery. I was so upset. We live in a fixed income paycheck to paycheck and there was no way we could pay that money. Literally they money we did have in our account was to pay our rent. When I came in to the clinic to explain to the receptionist that we couldn't pay that money I didn't get any sympathy at all and she literally had a smirk on her face like saying I don't care. I explained to her that, that was our rent money and if we could pay in payment and she didn't seem to care. Now our account is overdrawn and we can't even afford to buy our Christmas tree . Mind you we have to young children. Thanks for the sympathy. Bottom line if you have a deductible or high co pay this isn't the place for you. They don't work out anything with you. No payment plan no NOTHING! Oh and to top it all off parking is the worse. They provide Parkin and it costs $30.00 are you freaking kidding me. And they don't validate. This is all bad for a family that on a really tight budget read more

My daughter has had two hip surgeries at Post Street Surgery Center one year apart. Her surgeon both times was the accomplished Dr. Thomas Sampson. The surgery center provides a serene, comfortable environment along with state of the art surgery amenities. Both experiences despite the stressful condition of having surgery were exemplary all the way to the personable and knowledgeable biller, Ana. Ana held my hand and helped me to navigate working with our insurance company-- two years in a row! Her stick-to-itiveness helped our family stay solvent during trying times. I am so grateful to her and the whole surgery center for their professionalism and human touch. read more

I had the best experience there. I really like how small it is, so I never waited too long and felt extremely attended to. They were punctual, patient, informed. All staff were super nice and competent. I felt so taken care of and they made everything easy. When I was cold they brought me a blanket and heater. They had netflix in the room so we sat and watched nature shows and Dave Chapelle videos while waiting which was a wonderful distraction. I also loved that my anesthesiologist was a woman, Dr. Tith or Tilth? She listened and it was the first surgery where I felt great coming out from general (historically I have had terrible pain and nausea). I called a few times before surgery with questions. I always got through and got complete answers, which was very reassuring. Highly recommend. read more

My daughter had her hip surgery at the Post Street Surgery Center. We had a wonderful experience with the staff, especially with the anesthesiologist, Dr. David Glenn, and our favorite nurse, Shelby. Everyone was friendly; the nurses were great and helpful. We also got to meet with Dr. Thomas Sampson, our surgeon's mentor, who followed up with us after the surgery. He has an impressive medical background along with having a pleasant bedside manner. Both Dr. Glenn and Shelby had to stay late because DD was a little too sensitive to the general anesthesia and took her a while to wake up. I appreciate Dr. Glenn for answering our questions and teaching us how to stay on top of the pain, which worked for DD. We felt bad for making them wait but they were reassuring and accommodating to us. read more

I don't write reviews often, but, I was moved to write about this hidden gem in SF, called, "Post Street Surgery Center". From the onset, the office staff worked swiftly with my insurance company to clear me within days of my evaluation. Thank-you Letty, and Ana. Upon arrival on Day of Surgery, I felt a sense of calm just entering the waiting room as it is beautifully decorated. I was treated so special and given such attention; continually informed every step of the way, of what to expect. From Pre-Op to OR, to PACU, I felt safe, secure and in capable hands. Kudos to Post street Surgery Center! It's a stand out from the rest. Trust me, I've have had lots of surgeries. I will always choose Post Street Surgery Center for all my same day surgery needs, (hope I'm done) and I recommend you do the same!! The Staff/Surgeons ate absolutely the Best!!!! read more

I had a whole foot reconstruction here a few months ago and the service was superb! Every single person was great. They have their own parking lot so that was super convenient. I ended up having the other foot done at a different surgery center downtown and realized how spoiled I was at Post Street since the other place was horrible. Definitely would recommend this place. read more

What amazing care by every single member of the team! They did not stop until every last minor detail was met or exceded. Excellent care and service! read more

Excellent surgical center. The surgeons are fantastic with great bedside manners. The nurses are great, too. That's where it ends. The biller, Ana, is horrible. The anesthesiologist (Jeffrey Levy) is the worst doctor I have ever come across. Not only does he have horrible bedside manner and will jam the IV in your arm without any sympathy, he is out of network with every single insurance plan except for BCBS. You would think a surgery center, especially a large one like Post Street Surgery Center, would have an anesthesiologist who accepts every major insurance carrier. read more

Does not accept Anthem Blue Cross, and possibly other insurance carriers. Seems to be a cash-only location . . . users who cannot afford cash on the barrelhead should check first before using them. They did a good job removing a painful benign tumor over one of my finger knuckles. So their competence is not at issue . . . only their availability from the standpoint of which carrier (if any) they accept. read more

Be Very careful with these scum bags. They quoted me $23000 for surgery then billed me $63000 and sent it to collections. TRIPLE the estimate!!!!. A ruinous amount of money I don't have. This is the worst kind of predatory billing and fraud. I told the doctor who referred me and he was totally shocked. Now I have to lawyer up and fight. Give Post Street Surgery Center a wide birth. While T. Sampson is a great surgeon his organization is rotten to the core. They are what's wrong with medicine in the USA. read more

I recently had meniscus surgery at PSSC following a sports injury. The entire experience went smoothly. Patient communication and attention to detail were astoundingly good, both before and after the procedure. This is not a large hospital where you will get lost and have to ask for information; instead of that, expect the physicians and nurses to introduce themselves personally and really answer your questions. Same for the office staff. Doctors LaRoque (orthopedics) and Levy (anesthesia) were great. If PSSC is one of your options, consider yourself fortunate. read more

I had surgery at the surgery center 2 months ago. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. Contrary to what other posted about the billing part of it, I did my own homework about my policy and did not rely on anybody about my coverage. I felt Ana (Biller) was knowledgeable and gave me more info than I received at another hospital that I was considering. I would recommend this center because they made me feel comfortable. read more

I had shoulder surgery a few months ago and it was a great experience at Post Street Surgery Center. The nurses and surgery crew were all wonderful and treated me great. The rooms you are put in are very private and comfortable. After the surgery they were very patient and caring. Ana the biller informed me of my insurance coverage and cost before the surgery so I was aware of my portion. She was understanding of my financial situation and allowed me to pay my amount after surgery. read more

Dr. Gordon is an amazing doctor and surgeon. I came into his office after a botched surgery performed by Dr. Robert Harvey at St. Francis hospital. Dr. Harvey drilled pins through my joint without actually stabilizing my hand fracture, then immobilized me in a cast for a month (i.e. messed up everything he possibly could). I was still in excruciating pain and had an unhealed fracture when I went to Dr. Gordon. Dr. Gordon performed a very delicate surgery to correct the fracture well after the initial break occurred. Thanks to him, and despite Harvey's best attempt at permanently laming mu pianist hands, my hand is almost like new. I have no trouble playing the piano, typing on a keyboard, opening doors, picking up pitchers, and all the other things I worried I may no longer be able to do with this hand. Thanks Dr. Gordon. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a hand specialist. read more
