From the uncomfortable waiting room chairs, to the receptionist who has a horrible garbled accent that is sometimes slurred and incoherent, their receiving practices need some work. I came to Dr. Benner for a problem with my thigh. The first receptionist did a nice enough job handling my paperwork and I waited only 15 minutes to be let into a room. When it came time to get my blood pressure and weight checked, the incoherent nurses aid had me step on a scale and immediately moved the scale past 150 lbs. I'm 5'3" and a healthy size 4 but she somehow guessed I was over 150 lbs. (Maybe she heard the vicious things I was thinking in my head.) Someone in the medical profession should look at my body and my face and tell me how old I am, what I ate last, and my age better than any fortune teller gypsy or Six Flags amusement theme park clown. Not here. I would have gotten a prize if I played that game here. I deserve a stuffed animal for the indignation! Not only did he not even look at my thigh after explaining the odd tingling and numbing sensation he instead suggested I see a therapist for the amount of stress I was going through from my job. I made the mistake of explaining how I was seeing a separate doctor for the dislocated shoulder I suffered a month ago and he couldn't have gotten me out of the office quicker. What my father's health history has anything to do with my new injuries is beyond me. I spent about 10 minutes with him just to cough up a co-pay for the same information I could have gotten from my mother. This man has a horrible bed side manner that rivals that of Cruella Devil. His attitude makes him better suited for a position as a Jr. High vice principal. Needless to say, I got a second opinion about my injured hip joint and will think twice about seeing just any doctor again.

I have not met Dr. Benner per say but due to changing my health insurance recently from Kaiser (I…read morefeel that I put extra years on my life by doing so), I had to choose a PCP on the providers list. My husband dislocated his shoulder something fierce and had to see his PCP immediately. His reaction to his visit and treatment was all positive and he HATES doctors so this is an immediate plus. Dr. Benner was straight to the point, knew what he was talking about and didn't lag on immediate treatment and further diagnosis of his injury. I'm happy to say that the shoulder is healing very nicely and I trust my husband with Dr. Benner.

Dr. McGann is a wonderful orthopedic surgeon. He and his partner at the time put in my first hip…read morereplacement after I fell down a flight of stairs and landed on a concrete driveway. About 15 years later, that hip and the other hip both had to be replaced, and they did a fantastic job. Now 17-18 years later, my right hip is bothering me. My doctor sent me to UCSF because my immune system isn't working and I need special care. The doctor at UCSF told me I would have to have my hip done the old-fashioned way because of how it was put in. This would mean a long recovery and a lot of pain, not to mention a long hospital stay. I decided to run it past Dr. McGann. Dr. McGann told me there is an easier way - with only an overnight in the hospital and a four-inch incision! I feel like a huge load has been lifted off me. I've been going to Dr. McGann since 1986, and he is VERY cutting-edge (no pun intended) in his knowledge. The hip he put in my left hip will likely last me the rest of my life! If you are having a hip replacement or knee surgery, check out Dr. McGann.

That was after being on time and with no explanation from the receptionist. One time while waiting for my appointment, Dr. Sherwood laughed and talked with his staff for almost fifteen minutes while I waited for my appointment. My last visit, I asked how much longer the wait would be and the receptionist said to a nurse, "Put her in room two, I don't care, just get her out of here." Then I was escorted to room two and astounded that she was talking about me. The parking garage there is expensive, too. There is no validation. If I have to go back... It won't be to this office.

I then decided to search for him here on yelp and the previous reviews scared me a bit but figured -hey it is only for a cold, how bad can it be?! I have to say, it was probably my best doctor's appointment ever! The office and examination room are not "state of the art" but it is clean and has everything one can need. In addition, Dr. Pudberry practices western AND eastern medicine. I KNOW from personal experience that western medicine a lot of the times is NOT enough. So I was very happy to see that Dr. Pudberry treated me from both angles. He also spent a lot of time with me, when most doctors are trying to "score" as many patients as they can in one hour. I was very pleased to see that regarding my cold and other topics, he really wants to find the root of the problem and not just treat the symptoms. He definitely earned my confidence. Thank you!

When the films were ready, I called to make an appointment to get the results and was told the doctor was gone for a week and then was booked for at least a week after he got back. I requested that since I was only getting results from the MRI to find out what I was dealing with that I be given an appointment with another doctor. They said I was Dr. Mishra's patient and could not be seen by another doctor unless I transferred my entire case. I stated that if that was the only way I could get my results quickly, then that was okay with me. Then all hell broke loose and I was told I needed to talk to the office manager....was given her voicemail where I left TWO messages on TWO separate days and never received a call back. Needless to say, I contacted the lab facility and had the MRI results sent to my chiropractor and within a day, I got the results and was able to begin treatment and continue working. Had it been up to Dr. Mishra's office, I would have continued to be in pain and out of work for at least 2 weeks while I waited for Dr. Mishra. I never went back. Now I'm seeing an orthopedic surgeon and need the original MRI films from Dr. Mishra's office. When I called to say I needed to pick them up tomorrow, the receptionist actually SIGHED into the phone and told me she would have to go "digging into the files" to look for them. LOOK FOR THEM? How about looking in my file which should be easy if you know the alphabet??? Good grief! I can't wait to see how long this takes........... ****UPDATE***** Dr. Mishra's office LOST my MRI films...the lab has to reprint them...thank goodness the lab was nice enough to not charge me the usual $50 fee for the reprint...as a professional courtesy to the idiots at Mishra's office...unbelievable....

I had been dealing with Dr. Mishra for a few months now. At first everything went fine, I got an MRI for the ankle pain I was having. He sent me to physical therapy which he thought would fix the problem, but unfortunately didn't. So instead of doing some critical thinking he just passed me off to another doctor at another practice!! Overall, nice doctor, very knowledgeable, great recommendation of physical therapist. But 2 starts for not continuing my case, having very poor receptionists and for passing me off to an orthopaedic surgeon which ended up being a horrible experience.

He is caring, he actually reads his charts and knows who you are when you arrive and what your complaints in the past have been. He's professional and very knowledgeable in many areas around nutrition, mental health etc. He practices complementary medicine, but can prescribe medication. I feel like I have a partner in health when I see Dr. Roberts and I get a complete and comprehensive care. Of course you have to do the work but he's there with the information and support along the way.

The took my information and I was able to get an appointment in two weeks, but let me know it would cost me $375 for a consultation. Seems ridiculous, but I was desperate. I show up to my 3pm appointment on time after sitting through Friday afternoon sf traffic on pride weekend, and the office is dank and smells like cigarettes. The guy at the front desk looks shocked when I walk in, and asks who I am. He replies that he only has my name down, but no information at all on what I'm being seen for, or any of my personal details. He says the doctor went to lunch (even though they have an appointment for me), so it may be awhile. I'm a bit stunned. A few minutes later he gives me some paperwork to fill out and tells me if the doctor isn't back by 3:30 (30 minutes after my appointment was supposed to begin,) that I'd have to reschedule. What!? He then proceeds to call the doctor, and I can hear the doctor on the other end of the phone saying "can she pay the $375? If so, I'll be back in ten minutes." All this place wants to know is can you pay their outrageous fee. I was hesitant to see this doctor because of all the reviews on him, but he came highly recommended, and again, I was desperate. I shredded my paperwork and promptly walked out. Whatever you do, don't try to see this doctor.
