I went to Dr. Tsao for years and went through all the hoops with insurance to keep her as my…read moreprimary caregiver, but the office is so hard to work with that I have to reduce her rating. They will accept my husband's insurance for him, but not for me. Every time I show them the paperwork from the insurance, they say that it's wrong and I can't get an appointment or the appointment isn't covered. (They say that Affinity Group and Dr. Tsao are not covered by my insurance - see attached card.) My husband - who has the SAME insurance - has no issues. They've said I can only make appointments using the app, not the website, just lots of random issues have come up over the years. I've been polite and patient through all of this, but it's just too hard and makes no sense. Anyhow, Dr. Tsao is great overall, but I am concerned that she doesn't understand that plants have protein and am looking for a doctor that is a bit more holistic.

I am a little surprised to see some of the reviews here. I have been using Alameda family…read morePhysicians for decades and have literally never had a problem. In addition, I love their alliance with Stanford Health. Stanford has many locations with high tech equipment for all sorts of specialties. I have always received competent and helpful assistance when scheduling an appointment and have always been cheerfully met at the reception desk. Best if all is my Physician, Dr. John Carper. I have been with him for over 30 years. He is on-time, thorough, patient and a great listener. I am never rushed with him. In addition, I appreciate the detailed discussions about lab followups and his expert advice. My last visit, I was actually taken to the exam room 10 minutes early! With Alameda Family Physicians and Stanford, my health is closely tracked and well documented. I feel like everything is being done to monitor changes in health due to age and corrective actions are being made to keep my body in check. In my opinion, Alameda Family Physicians is stellar with preventative care!

She indignantly told me HOW DARE I EXPECT TO BEE SEEN and sent me away. HEY JERK! How about all those times I had to wait way beyond that for YOU?!! How about the time you told me my doctor had' retired' when, in fact, she left and started her own practice? You then gave me a new doctor who went out on Maternity leave and no one could see me? I have been coming here since my late doctor started this practice 20 years ago. Once they were affiliated with Stanford, they went downhill. I will look for a new doctor.

I have sense been her patient for my annual physical and for treatment of pelvic/bladder pain. She has been wonderful. Every time a test result is updated in the Stanford Health Care (myhealth) portal, she always includes a message explaining the results. She quickly responds to emails, and has personally called as a result of one of my questions numerous times. Her bedside manner during office visits has always been awesome. Dr. Shah has a lot of empathy and seemed genuinely interested in what I was feeling and experiencing. She listened to what I said and answered all of my questions. She's been very thorough in making sure she's addressed all of my medical concerns. Overall, I think she's an excellent doctor and I would certainly recommend her to anyone seeking a family/personal physician.

Mostly, I want a doctor who isn't snobby and treats me l as if I am stupid, who will give me the right treatment, will refer me to the right people. Someone I can be honest and direct with and I trust will give the same back. He has always responded immediately in emergencies, even late on New Years Eve and never bilks his patients and that's how he shows that he really cares.

I recommend Dr. Belk with some caution: If you like warm and fuzzy doctors, this is NOT the doctor…read moreto see. If you like doctors who are intelligent--even sharp--rather stoic, has your best in mind, yet isn't trying to win any personality contests, well Dr. Belk is the ONE. One star is for his intelligence and straightforwardness, which can be hard but he tells it like he sees it with no wide smiles only slight smurks.. Second star is because, unlike the routine at Alameda Family Physicians---and big reason why I like him--Dr. Belk is saving me hundreds of dollars by referring me to a cheaper pharmacy and filling my routine prescriptions for a longer period without unnecessary additional visits like Alameda Family Physicians required of me. Kudos to Dr. Belk on this one!. 3rd star is because he switched me to a better, more efficient medication than the practitioners at Alameda Family Physicians did--and again, for less cost to me (I am a cash pay) patient and I already feel better with this medication change than I have in 5 years! Thumbs up to Dr. Belk on this one! 4th star is because his brusk, dry, sarcastic humor along with the unhappy look that is practically glued to his face--still made me laugh although I don't prefer this style of comedy on a regular basis. Thanks for the efforts at comedy, Dr. Belk! 5th star I took away only because he isn't charming like James Bond. He has absolutely NO bedside manner, which I think is important for doctors to have--although I would prefer competence over charm in my doctor. After all, he is a doctor not a gigolo, right? I prefer a little warmth or a genuine, caring laugh and perhaps some reflective listening or at the very least some hint of compassion when I don't see eye to eye with him...attempting to humor me if he doesn't agree with me a little, would help greatly---but he won't do that. He sticks to his guns, like it or not---no niceties there. Summary: Doctor Belk has saved me money and gave me more effective medications than my last doctor did--so I consider him a very competent doctor. If he had a more delightful, compassionate charming personality----he'd be just about a perfect five star doctor, but because he's not trying to win any personality contests--he gets 4 stars. I recommend him if you have anti-social punk rocker / goth friends and ENJOY the ones who don't smile or hug the best.

I am happy to see that Dr. Konstantin is refusing to give random people narcotics. I worked in a 1000 Rx a day pharmacy and these people are doctor shoppers whose regular doctors won't give them narcotics so they seek out other doctors and then get disappointed and aggravated when they don't get their drugs. This makes me want to give Dr. K more stars! You don't go to a doctor to get drugs. You go to a doctor to get treated to feel better. It doesn't always require drugs, and you should be glad if you don't need them.

Hands down the worst, most hectic, disrespectful, and unprofessional experience I have ever had…read morewith a doctor. I am not exaggerating. I rarely if ever leave bad reviews, but this one was very serious for me. I called Dr Fredian twice to try to book an appointment. She blew me off and sent me to her online patient portal, which did not work. I called to explain that the online system did not work, and she told me to email her. She still would not just take a single moment to make me an appointment herself. I then followed her instructions and emailed her to try to set up an appointment, and she never responded. So I emailed one more time. By the 4th time I reached out, I asked her to please really take me seriously because I was experiencing symptoms that gave me some small discomforts and concern, and I truly felt I needed a doctor, but not an ER. Her response was to call my voicemail and yell at me in my voicemail to just go to Urgent Care and tell me that my email asking for her to please take me seriously was "inappropriate." When I called back and tried to explain that I was not in need of urgent care, but just in need of a regular doctor's appointment, and that urgent care would not be helpful since I did not even have a regular doctor that I could list as my primary doctor, nor had I even seen a doctor at all for a basic visit, she told me that my phone call was "wasting valuable time" she could be spending with her patients. I was pretty shocked to hear that, but tried one more time to explain that I just really wanted to become one of those "valuable patients." I guess I'm only "valuable" if I am already paying into her pocket? When I tried to explain that all I was trying to do was become a patient because she had come well-recommended, and that I was finding it frustrating to try to access her services using the online modality, she hung up on me. What kind of doctor blows off and hangs up on a sick person who is just trying to get an appointment?

It's been convenient not having to come into the City as Dr. Kong is located at the Centre West Medical Building at Alameda South Shore next to the Office Max. Also, ample free parking is right in front of the building. I appreciate that appointments are readily available as I have gotten into this schedule within a week during both of my visits. Dr. Kong is nice and mixes in some humor during the consultation. He is on top of making sure your vaccines are up to date and suggests when to take certain ones due their possible physical reactions. He follows up on necessary tests if I am tardy on it, such as colonoscopies. He referred me to an orthopedic surgeon to check on shoulder if there was an internal issue. Janet and Cheryl at the front desk have been friendly and helpful as well. Glad to have made Dr. Kong my primary doctor and hope to have him caring for me for the coming years.

Now…read moreI have an "unpaid bill" that started as $98, and the collection agency wants $130 to take it off of my credit report. The bill was supposedly from 2017. If I owed her money from 2017 it seems like it would have come up in subsequent visits, but it was never mentioned. So is this allleged "collection agency" legitimate? Medicare would have covered anything sent to them because they are my primary insurance. I called them today. They never recieved a bill from Dr. Gerdes' office during that entire year. The Medicare representative also pointed out to me that the date can't be right since I was in surgery on the date the visit supposedly happened. And now I can't reach Dr. Gerdes because she is retired. What can I even do with this?

I started off the new year with a new insurance company ( I have always had Kaiser) and completely struggled finding a gynecologist just to refill birth control. I finally called my insurance and desperately asked them to help me find anyone in my area (Oakland), I was then given Dr. Gerdes' clinic. I asked my insurance how much the co-pay was and they said "$30". I called and made the appointment and when I showed up they charged me $50! I told them I had just spoke with my insurance company and they confirmed it was $30. The receptionist, with no indication of hearing me out, demanded the $50. At this point I could not really afford to go waste more time so I just agreed and wrote them a check... The office was really really old and not updated, no big deal. Dr. Gerdes came in and talked to me for awhile, she seemed decently nice. I got my RX and went to the pharmacy. About 7 months later I decided I needed to switch my RX refill location, I called Dr. Geredes office and asked if they can call the remainder of the refills into a new location. It has now been 2 weeks and I left messages and never received a call back. I am super frustrated as this should be a simple task, or at the least RETURN MY CALL
