I loved how she was very thorough in going over my lab results line-by-line with me and how she looked back at my past history as I had questions. She welcomed my questions and I felt confident that I can now take control of my health with better eating habits and exercise. I also loved how she let me know of the resources available such as a therapist if I needed one. I felt my mental health needed a little more attention since the pandemic and for her to let me know how I can access that, I was loving my decision of having her as my new doctor.

She's helped some of my other family members when their usual doctors were on vacation and they too were very impressed by her professionalism and helpful treatment.

I want everyone to be aware of my story if they ever go to Sutter Health Palo Alto Medical…read moreFoundation for any type of check up. In July 2021, I went to see Qia (Andy) Zhang at one of their hospital locations in Burlingame for a regular annual physical exam. I am a healthy individual going in just for a check up. My health insurance is one of the premium levels of insurance provided by Apple. Between my husband and me, we pay ~$300 per month for this premium health insurance. Since August, I received multiple bills from Sutter Health charging me excess of $300 dollars for various tests that I had no clue were administered. After multiple calls to both the billing department and UHC, I found out that I was tested for a variety of things including rubella antibodies and more. They were all coded as "preventative - general adult medical examination without abnormal findings" but in speaking with doctor friends, these are generally not needed in a normal, healthy adult's annual check up. Even if the doctor did want to test something special, he should have disclosed it and coded it appropriately. If you are a doctor, you can let me know. I tried calling Qia Zhang to find out more. I never received any call back. The billing department was worse. I talked to multiple people who outrightly blamed me for getting charged. Saying that it's my responsibility to know what I need to be tested for and exactly which tests are covered under my insurance. To be clear, the doctor did no disclose to me anything about what he was going to test me for. I also never received any results from any test. Another billing rep said that if it was just a regular physical, I should not have disclosed any discomfort to the doctor which could have triggered the doctor to run extra tests. The only thing I told Qia Zhang was that my stomach was feeling funny for a couple months back but now I was fine. This is not my first, second, or third annual check up. I am 30+ now and have done enough annuals but I have never been told that I shouldn't disclose to the doctor if there is anything wrong with me at an annual exam. I have never experienced a bill for an annual even when I had much worse insurance at other companies. In sharing my story with other Apple employees, we found out that many people have had similar experiences with Sutter Health, one of whom was charged over $1200 just for an annual exam. Right now, we are at a limbo where UHC says it's Sutter Health's issue and vice versa and I'm in the middle stuck with a large bill. It really is not the money at this point, it's the principal of the matter. My husband and I are lucky enough to have full time jobs during this pandemic. What if this large bill landed on someone who was less fortunate? Everyone, please be careful when you go to the doctor's, especially Sutter Health. We have since heard too many horror stories about their tactics. It is really sad that the medical and insurance system cannot be trusted.

Update! PROS:…read more Dr. Ali is legit and listens to her patients. You can almost always get a last minute appointment. CONS: (THIS IS A BIG CON) Their automated system will call me EVERY DAY saying: "Please contact our office." Then I do contact the office and then they say they have no idea why I'm calling. Also, they will send me bills and then when I call to pay the bill they say I don't owe anything. Then I receive another bill and the daily phone calls will resume saying "We have an urgent billing matter..." So I call back and I STILL DON'T OWE ANY MONEY. It's frustrating and for someone who pays cash for her treatments, it's a deal breaker.

This review is a mixed bag. Dr Fulleman is a good doctor I…read morelike her and would give her four stars without a doubt. She listens, takes her time with you, and actually examines you. On the other hand, Dr. Leykina is a DISASTER. I have seen her twice now when I've needed a same day appointment- both times I've had a sinus infection. And both times she's asked me what type of antibiotics I would like to take. DO NOT SEE DR LEYKINA. She is also habitually late. I waited a half hour for her once, and today I waited one full hour. On a positive note, the woman who does lab work is so good at drawing blood you barely notice when she's poked you- even though I hate having my blood drawn, I am not afraid to have it done here. While often overwhelmed and a little bit disorganized, I have to say the front desk staff is very nice and I've never had billing issues or had to wait too long for an appointment.

She actually rolled her eyes at me when I said I work out but was feeling very out of shape. I had multiple complaints and no other history of illness. There was no reason for her not to believe me and she delayed my getting real help for months. Moving from unpleasant to incompetent: she told me my test results were fine (PTH) but when I read the report the test WASN'T EVEN RUN. Upon pointing this out to her, she indicated it was probably fine anyway. I insisted we re-run it and it was a very typical clue to my diagnosis. It turned out I had a 3.5 cm nodule on my thyroid which was cancerous and a parathyroid that had to be removed as it had stopped working. Even if I could forgive the miserable attitude, giving patients wrong test results is downright incompetent.

She was patient with her exam but unfortunately, all she did was to suggest to monitor my symptoms by downloading a generic wellness phone app. This was one of the worst diagnoses I have received from any doctor. The next day, I made an appointment outside One Medical with someone who could provide more helpful medical advice. On top of this, I received $$$ bill from One Medical. When I called their billing department to check on the bill, they thought I was calling to negotiate and they automatically reduced it in half. I complained to my employer who had to follow up with One Medical to sort out the coverage. Such a hassle, avoid and go to a real clinic and a real doctor.

The app listed a restriction for September 19th only. I arrived promptly at 8am. I was greeted by a nice person at the front desk. She unfortunately told me that I could not get my vaccine at this time. She stated that it was because there was no physician in the office and that their lab is limited to just blood work and the basic flu shot. She proceeded to tell me that a doctor will be in at 0830 if I wanted to wait or come back. I decided to come back at 0830 and run a few errands in downtown Burlingame/ wait in the car. I came back at 0830 and a provider was in house. I checked in and was able to get my shot. It took about 10 minutes from checking in to getting the shot to leaving the facility. The same person in reception helped me and she was very nice about it. I just wished the times and restrictions were more up to date.
