One cannot find a more knowledgable, compassionate and devoted Nephrologist. He sets a high bar. We worked together over these many years, and thousands of patients have been thankful for his honesty, compassion and devotion. Dr. Gottheiner is also a wonderful teacher and role model. So many nurses, dietitians, social workers and dialysis personnel hold him in great esteem, for his intelligence, work-ethic and devotion to patients and the practice of medicine in its purest form. I am a better person for knowing him!

I was referred to Nephrologist dr. Toby Gottheiner because my urine has become foamy and colorless…read more Dr G learned my family's history of kidney disease, but was unconcerned. He assured me that there's 'nothing wrong' with my kidneys. He did not order any tests to clarify what's going on. I went back to my primary care doctor, who is really great. He ordered an additional test of urine osmolality with fluid restriction for 12-14 hours. That test came clearly abnormal: 372 mOsm/Kg with the normal reference of at least 850 mOsm/Kg. The test pointed to inability of my kidneys to concentrate urine, which is associated with kidney failure, or other significant kidney disease. Based on abnormal finding, I was asked by primary care to go back to see nephrologist. 3 months later I'm back to Dr. Gottheiner, reasonably expecting the differential work up on the cause of a problem. Instead the conversation turned different direction. Vaguely admitting abnormal finding, doctor started vigorously looking for an unusual dietary pattern in my eating habits. When that failed, because my diet is well balanced, contrary to his previous admission, he suddenly said that he doesn't see anything wrong(?) and honestly(?), doesn't know how to help me! Than he asked me, 'Why do you worry'? I tried to patiently explain that I've had both flanks pain, coupled with significant progressive changes in a urine. He said that my urine changes unrelated to flank pains (?). At this point it has become clear doctor wasn't interested in making any honest diagnosis. You don't have to be a nephrologist to know that flank pain indeed can be caused by kidney problems. I told him that both my urologist and primary care referred me to see him (nephrologist). He said that they referred me only because they 'didn't know what to do'!! Than he asked me again, 'why do you worry'? What was I supposed to say? It's like asking diabetes patient why would he/she worry so much about high glucose levels? And he is absolutely right in a sense: if doctor doesn't care, why should a patient get worry?? After first appointment, Dr. Gottheiner failed to order correct tests to evaluate the abnormal symptoms. At second appointment, when presented with abnormal findings (extremely low osmolality), dr G completely ignored them. Moreover, he ignored other significant changes (high lactic acid, anemia, peripheral neuropathy) which could be related to a kidney disease as well. Finally, Dr. G failed to order any workup on the abnormal findings to make a differential diagnosis, let alone any treatment. All in all, if you dare to 'worry' about your health, and need a diagnostic workup of your kidneys condition from a competent, intelligent doctor who cares, please don't waste your time and look somewhere else. Good luck!

She has cared for me through some of the most complex phases of my life, including the last few years navigating perimenopause. When things felt confusing, inconsistent, and honestly overwhelming, she never reduced it to a checklist or a quick prescription. She listened. She connected patterns. She treated me like a whole person, not a set of symptoms. She made that level of trust clear very early. Within the first year of being under her care, I made sure my husband switched to her as his PCP too. That decision has held up for over a decade. What stands out is her clarity and her steadiness. She doesn't rush. She doesn't dismiss. She explains what's happening in a way that makes you feel informed and grounded, not anxious. There's a kind of quiet confidence in how she practices medicine that builds real trust over time. Fifteen years in, that trust is earned, not assumed. And it shows in every interaction. If you're looking for a doctor who will actually see you, stay with you through complexity, and bring both rigor and humanity to your care, Dr. L is exceptional. Some doctors treat. She understands.

Most doctors talk in a way that makes it seem like they are rushed and I sometimes leave realizing I forgot to ask an important question or have trouble remembering all the info since they shared it so quickly. Dr. L takes the time to understand your concern, really listens to you, answers questions, and makes sure you understand. She and her staff are very responsive via the online messaging system and there are often times where another doctor might have made me come in to bill for an appointment but she will give a quick recommendation or prescription based on our previous conversations and my message if it's not a big change. Obviously, not the case if it's something that would require seeing me or doing labs. When I go in to see her, she remembers details not just about me but my kids and asks how things that we discussed several months or a year ago are going. In this way, she's not just a great doctor, but a great human. I've been seeing her for 20+ years at this point, since before her previous clinic was bought by Sutter. I'll never have another PCP if until I have no choice (relocation or retirement). She's not always taking new patients but if you are lucky enough to stumble across her when she is, I would get on her roll as quickly as you can!

Her words with respect to Caro's opinion: to a carpenter, everything looks like a hammer. Dr. Caro could also not offer any real explanation for present symptoms, but cautioned me to not ride my bike, my primary mode of transport, for the duration. It all felt a bit like guess-work, a.k.a. what I'd been doing in the confines of my own home prior to seeking treatment. A return visit to Dr. Caro is now not forthcoming. The two receptionists I dealt with were, sort of, two sides of the same coin: one was personable, efficient & present; the other one had an off-putting, distracted manner. The best bit was when she coughed directly & at length into the telephone receiver after asking me a question. Spoiler alert: I had to repeat the answer. After getting the usual who-are-you info. out of the way, I was told this: you'll be asked for a urine sample, so come prepared! I took that to mean that there would be no water fountain in the office & I had better schlep my own water to the appointment-which I did. Upon entering the office, I immediately saw a water cooler set up with cups for patients' use & I thought to myself, duh, it's a urologist's office, dummy. In addition to being told to come prepared, I was also told (in response to my direct question) that this office does indeed accept Blue Cross. My scheduled visit, not two days later, included the following information: as it's the beginning of the year, you may or may not receive a bill for our services. We may or may not be in network (for Blue Cross users). Had I known that at the outset, I would have gone elsewhere. -not keen to potentially pay up to 300 bucks for a urine test/urethra check. The office space itself was tidy & welcoming. --magazines, background music, art on the walls, etc. The medical building is easy to find, located in downtown San Mateo. Dr. Caro's office is located on the ground floor. Bike parking is ample.

Then there's a mandatory waiting period before the operation (to avoid buyer's remorse?). The operation itself was brief and relatively painless. I only felt the needle for the first Novocaine shot, and I've felt worse shots at the dentist. The procedure lasted about 45 minutes, just the doctor and me, chatting and listening to music. This is way preferable to the woman's equivalent operation, which involves an OR, anesthesiologist, serious recuperation, etc. When I got home I applied ice packs (OK, frozen peas) as instructed and didn't have any swelling and only minor pain. The scars immediately after the surgery looked pretty bad, and some bruising developed. I'm kind of glad it was a holiday the day after the procedure, but I was back to work (sitting at a computer) two days after. I felt OK, but took it easy and didn't climb stairs for a few days. The bruising disappeared in a week and the scars took about three weeks to completely disappear. The stitches dissolved and didn't require another visit to take out. Full, um, function returned in a week as the doctor estimated. Dr. Caro is friendly and professional, and obviously knows his stuff. I'd recommend him to anyone contemplating this procedure.
