It has been a couple of years since Dr. Margie D. Lim left Palo Alto Medical Foundation, and I…read morestill miss having her as my primary care physician. I was fortunate to be her patient for over 20 years. Throughout those years, she consistently demonstrated what outstanding medical care should look like. She is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, patient, and genuinely compassionate. She always listened carefully to my concerns, paid close attention to every detail, and took the time to explain diagnoses and treatment options in a way that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed, and I always felt that she truly cared about my health and well-being. Finding a great physician is not easy, and since Dr. Lim left, I have not found another primary care doctor who provides the same level of trust, professionalism, and personal care. She set a very high standard. If Dr. Lim is still practicing medicine somewhere, I sincerely hope I can find her and become her patient again. She made a lasting difference in my life, and I will always be grateful for the exceptional care she provided over the past two decades. Thank you, Dr. Lim, for everything you have done for me and so many of your patients. I wish you all the best wherever you are.

Happily I have another doctor now! I was happy with her at first, but problems cropped up, ending…read morewith an intolerable one - I wanted to return to my previous dose of a med I'd been taking for 20 yrs, and she wanted me to make an appointment for this med change. She wanted a description of why I wanted the change, and I eventually dredged up a word to describe it, which she translated into 'medical' word I didn't identify with. We had a brief incomplete chat about a couple of my relatives and their diagnoses, ending before the end of my info - and she changed MY diagnosis based on this brief incomplete chat about my relatives - AND she didn't tell me what more severe diagnosis she had changed me to, based on this feeble evidence - AND she resisted changing my diagnosis back to what it had been for 2 decades! Maryjane is great. I'd happily continue with her.

I could not be more pleased with Dr. Paley. He is deeply empathetic. He also runs his office very…read moreefficiently -- minimal wait times, quick response to test results, good use of telehealth systems. He uses referrals to specialists but only after he does his own research. I am so glad I found him when I moved here 4 years ago.

My husband and I have been patients of Adam Paley for decades. He listens during office visits, and…read moreprescribes tests and medication as needed, but always gives me the option to go the route of less intervention rather than more. My father was a physician so I know good medical care when I see it, and Dr. Paley provides excellent primary medical care. It is true that calls to the office may not be returned the same day, but if you contact the office through the on-line patient portal, you almost always get a same-day response. As for the complaint that Dr. Paley pushed the COVID vaccine, medical science has shown that the risk of serious complications or death from COVID is astronomically higher than complications or death from the vaccine. He is following medical science and protocols in advocating that a patient reduce risk by getting vaccinated. But the choice is still the patient's.

She has that rare combination of deep medical knowledge and genuine empathy. Her bedside manner is incredible--calm, attentive, and always respectful. She takes the time to really listen, never rushes through appointments, and explains everything in a way that's clear and balanced. Dr. Varma doesn't withhold information or make assumptions--she gives you the full picture and helps you make informed, thoughtful decisions about your health. Her advice is always reasonable, grounded, and personalized. You walk away feeling heard, respected, and cared for--not just treated. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will continue to see her for as long as she's practicing.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Guttas yesterday. I drove well out of my way to see him after…read morehe came highly recommended by a distinguished physician who's helping me address the realities of getting older. I will tell you this--aging is not for the faint of heart. Staying well takes intention, effort, and the right guidance. Dr. Guttas is a gift--his time, his insight, his perspective. Don't waste it. My life will never be the same after this visit, and that is a good thing. Together with my other physician, he's helping me work toward turning the clock back 15-20 years. What struck me most was how quickly he understood me. Within minutes of asking a few thoughtful questions, he had a clear read on my personality and what drives me. I kept thinking I needed to explain myself, but he was already several steps ahead. With more than 25 years of experience as a cardiologist, his ability to observe and understand a patient so quickly is remarkable. That kind of attentiveness--and a commitment to treating the whole person rather than just the chart--is rare these days. Modern medicine and pharmacology are helpful tools, but be prepared: you'll need to face some hard truths. Real change requires honesty, lifestyle adjustments, and the willingness to put in the work. Otherwise, you're wasting both his time and your own. The good news is that Dr. Guttas offers practical guidance that anyone can follow if they're willing to trade bad habits for better ones. Medications can play an important role, but they work best alongside those changes. And be sure to read his handouts. They're filled with thoughtful advice that is humble, often humorous, and clearly written from the heart. After just one visit, I feel confident placing my heart and my health in his hands.
