I proactively sent an email to my doctor (Dr. Doscas) asking about some recent tests and prescriptions only to be notified that my doctor has left the practice. While Dr. Doscas was a great doctor, I'm puzzled by how this was all handled. I received no email or comms from my doctor, the management team nor was I given any guidance on next steps in switching doctors. This is unacceptable. I should have been proactively notified and should have been made aware of my options ASAP. I called and texted the office several times to speak to Dr. Gorman about my experience but did not receive a call back. Instead, I received an impersonal, cold and sterile letter a few days later notifying me that I needed to find another doctor. I would not recommend this practice to anyone given the sloppy nature of my situation was managed- it's completely unacceptable.

Dr Gorman is great and her medical team are great.

If you are looking for a bubbly nurse that is not Claudia but if you are looking for someone who effectively gets you prepped to meet with the doctor she is excellent! I appreciate the fact that I rarely have to wait beyond my appointment for my visit. If I have a sudden illness or issue Dr. Broad always finds time to see me. The help hotline is very efficient! I always get a call back within a few hours. I have had a large variety of issues (basics such as flus, colds, allergies, sinus infections, skin rash and also much harder issues such as extreme migraines, debilitating neck injury, rare virus, cyst, etc) over the years. If Dr Broad could not directly help me he has always worked hard to find the correct person for me to see. He is not afraid to prescribe alternative treatments if regular western treatments are not showing results. Dr Broad works with his patients and what they are comfortable with as far as treatment course goes. Dr Broad always keeps in mind that I prefer to not take medicine unless necessary. Regarding my rare virus.. Dr Broad did not give up until he found a doctor who could correctly diagnose me! Many other doctors might have said it was all in my head or just keep resting and it will go away. I saw over ten specialist before I was properly diagnosed! I highly recommend Dr Broad! I feel very lucky to have found him!

I had been putting off getting a colonoscopy for about 5 years because I really didn't like the…read moreidea and couldn't find a doctor I felt comfortable with. 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

Dr. Fulmer is so friendly and easy to talk to. He always takes his time with me and actually looks at me, explains things and listens. I never feel rushed at all or like I'm wasting his time like some doctors. He took the time to explain pros and cons of different medications and provide the names of specialty doctors. I never have had to wait long to see him either. Another pro, is that basic requests like lab results and basic questions can be addressed through their online portal. It's pretty convenient. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Fulmer!

Would choose 0 stars if possible. Strongly suggest avoiding this provider…read more A family member of mine recently had a new patient appointment with her as they had to find a new physician. After their visit, I spoke to them on the phone and they shared how hurtful and upsetting their visit was. Specifically, they shared that the way she communicated about their health not only felt unhelpful, but extremely hurtful. They felt judged and surprised when she suggested various recommendations for being overweight without asking any real questions about lifestyle, weight management throughout their life, successes, challenges, etc. She jumped to extreme solutions like a liquid diet and surgery, when overeating has never been something they have struggled with. They told me over the phone, pausing as they cried, "If I wasn't mentally stable, I would have left and killed myself." This was not something they had ever said before so wasn't them being dramatic - it was because their time with Dr. Borodulin was so painful. It was also shared that the Medical Assistant was extremely unprofessional, not saying anything when they came into the room to take BP and then yelling the numbers down the hall. I am a former Health Center manager, as well as a public health professional. I am also the wife of a physician. I understand patient care, the training physicians go through, and the responsibilities physicians have to their patients. Flippantly suggesting surgery without discussing previous challenges or success is absurd, as is suggesting a liquid diet for fast weight loss. I cannot stress enough what a terrible experience this provider created and would avoid seeing them at all costs.

On my first appointment, the office staff was very kind to me and they really made me feel comfortable. Dr. Louis was very professional and fully explained everything. We went through my medical history. The more I talked with her, the more I felt that going with Gateway was an excellent decision. After several visits, everything was coming full circle. She made sure my medications were refilled, all necessary blood tests were done and Dr. Louis even had me take other tests to make sure I was healthy. Gateway Medical is a very busy facility but I have always been able to get an appointment. If I need to get a test, I'm given an in-network referral list and a summary of the visit.

Since transitioning to Dr. Shamala, my experience has been very disappointing. Appointments are booked several months out, which defeats the purpose of having a primary care provider. When you're sick, you need timely access--not a long wait that forces you to rely on urgent care visits, as I've had to do multiple times. When I asked about the delays, I was told there are simply too many patients. That response was concerning. It feels like the focus is on taking on more patients rather than properly caring for existing ones. During the one appointment I was able to get (scheduled three months in advance), I felt rushed, as if the priority was moving quickly to the next patient rather than providing thoughtful care. Maybe my previous doctor set a very high bar, but this experience has been frustrating and disappointing.
