Parking in the area is decent, staff was nice, and the waiting room was fine, so I can't dock for that. Dr. Grossman was open to listening to my concerns, but as soon as I was done explaining myself he simply told me to go to a specialist rather than doing an initial examination or providing any advice on what I could do in the mean time. I found this a little frustrating, I would have liked if he could have at least "dug" a little bit into what I was saying instead of saying..."well im not a ____ specialist, but there's a great one down the hall". I expect my PCP to at least provide some input to my concerns, even if it's not his area of expertise (after all a PCP should know a little bit about everything right?) Edit: i forgot to mention that dr. grossman has an uncanny resemblance to larry david (Seinfeld, Curb your enthusiasm). i found this a little entertaining, but no stars added for that

I hadn't been to see a real doctor for a physical in about twenty years, and I thought it would be…read moregood just to get a general checkup. My last experience with a doctor (dermatologist) was less than excellent, so understandably, I was a bit leery since this was another referral. I had complained quite a bit, so my girlfriend asked her doctor buddies to refer someone with a good bedside manner. Dr. Grossman was great. He came recommended as "someone I would send a family member to." I totally agree. Though I was completely healthy - which he confirmed, saying my blood pressure was that of a childs, I was impressed with his sense of calm and patience. He actually took the time to sit and talk to me and find out more about me than just who was my health insurance provider. He was not rushed and did not treat me like a cow he was trying to herd through the place like so many other practitioners. I actually think he cares about his patients, and not just about moving them through so he can get a fast buck! He answered all of my questions, and gave me thoughtful solutiuons. I actually think he cares - this is good considering he is a care provider. The front desk staff was courteous, and the waiting room had comfortable chairs with plenty to read while waiting. I was not waiting long either - only a few minutes after I had filled out my papers, and then only a few minutes more while in the examination room. One overly thick lady sitting next to me was complaining that it was too warm in there, but I found it nice since it was so cold and windy outside. Parking was easy too - plenty of cheap meters and local lots. If you want to be treated like a human, go see Dr. Peter Grossman.

Dr. Secemsky is the best doctor I have ever worked with. He is professional, well-informed, and…read moredetail-oriented. He truly takes the time needed to get to know your entire health history, and he examines his patients from a holistic medical and emotional perspective. As the patient, he also invests time in learning your perspective of your health concerns and goals, and that is uncommon with many other medical providers these days. Brian is also eager to be a part of your whole medical team, and he will work with you and other medical providers to ensure you get the best care possible. I could not recommend him highly enough.

I've only had one appointment with Dr. Secemsky so far but feel compelled to write a review…read more I had a One Medical membership from 2012 to 2014, but eventually let it expire as I didn't find the doctors to be my cup of tea. Some of them were very holistic, others gave what I'd call "obvious" advice ("it hurts? keep off it." which is fine when accompanied with some more detailed information, but not on its own), and still others were just not very thorough. Even though I'd only signed up for a "brief visit" through One Medical, Brian first went over all my previous visits and made sure those were addressed. Then we moved onto my current issue (a nagging ankle injury), where he listened to all of the possible causes for it and the various treatments I'd already tried. Followed by a physical examination of the area and strength tests, he didn't just say "keep off it" as previous One Medical doctors had given, but gave specific advice about pre and post-workout treatments and recommended me to a physical therapist he trusted. I'm glad to have re-applied for One Medical and would recommend Dr. Secemsky as a primary care doctor. Visit him before all of his slots start filling up!

My work insurance changed and I've recently switched to Kaiser. My experience so far with Kaiser…read morehas made me realize how poorly I was served by Stanford Family Practice. First thing you need to know--it will take months--yes, literally months--to get an appointment. When I reacted in disbelief, I was told unapologetically "Stanford in a teaching facility our doctors are only in a couple of days a week". Seeing patients is not the priority of this center. Second thing to know--you will get mysteriously charged additional copays months after your appointment. It turns out that the doctors do not charge copay by appointment, but by "topic". When I questioned the additional copay, I was told I must have asked the doctor a question unrelated to what my appointment was schedule for so each additional question can be charged a separate copay. Are you kidding me? Finally, and most importantly, again Standford is a teaching hospital--if you require surgery, or treatment, I highly advise that you ask that the interns/students do not work on you. I did not, and I physically paid dearly for it!!

First, I want to correct something another reviewer said. He said it takes months to get an…read moreappointment. In the fifteen years I've been going there, I've almost always gotten an appointment within a week. Even better is that they recently started offering same-day appointments. You only have to make an appointment if there's one specific doctor you Just call first thing in the morning and you'll likely get in that day. Both Dr. Richard Lee (who sadly is no longer there) and now Dr. Crump have given me first-class treatment. I've always been treated well there. When was very open to alternative therapy for getting my blood pressure down. Thanks to his guidance and openness, I'm now off my hypertension medication completely! But the appointment that stood out most for me was when I fell and was in insane amounts of ankle pain. Dr. Crump examined it and said that it was at worst a hairline fracture. I asked if he should x-ray it. His response put a smile on my face. He said, "We could do an x-ray, but the treatment would be the same." In today's broken fee-for-service medical industry, it was refreshing to have a doctor who wasn't suggesting unnecessary procedures to get paid more by insurance companies. In short, I've always gotten first-class treatment from Stanford Family Practice and will be going there as long as possible.

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.

REVIEWER #5 I love my doctor, Dr. Titov that is!…read more I've been coming here for about a year now and has been such a HUGE difference from when I was with Kaiser (Ooh Kaiser, you are my worst enemy!). Dr. Titov actually shows compassion and care! My first visit with him was longer than 1 hr., could you believe that? (Kaiser only gave me 15 mins before moving me forward like I was a piece of paper, UGH). Dr. Titov actually listens to me and heard me without any judgment. At the time I went to visit him, I was dealing with a lot of emotions, weight challenges and just not happy with myself and he guided me through the problem to help me find a solution. Dr. Titov has bettered my life by sending me to a weight loss physician (which I see every month) and I'm happy to report that I no longer have to deal with high blood pressure or swelling! Everything I ask for, Dr. Titov goes the extra mile to make sure it's done! Now, let's not forget those lovely assistants of his.... (DRUM ROLL, please!) The Best Customer Service award goes to....MARIAM!!! Mariam is totally phreaking AWESOME; she knows her sh*t! Every time I call and need something she is willing to help me. I love talking to her because I know she is going to pass the information down to my doctor in a reasonable time! She always calls me to inform me on what the doctor says AND....When I need referrals, she takes her time to upload my referral into the computer, makes me a copy to pick up AND faxes a copy to the physician for review. Told you she is AWESOME! It gets better though, every time I get a referral to go somewhere, they ALWAYS brag about how organized and smooth the transition was from my doctor's office (All because of Mariam!). There are times where they say, "Oh, look at this, your information is already in the system, there is no need to make additional copies". Yayy! Now, I am sure the other assistants are just as great as Mariam, but, I have to give praise to this lovely lady because I am not an easy person to deal with; I feel for her sometimes, I am too needy and want things done right away, and she never complains or acts like I am annoying her. I definitely encourage you to come see Dr. Titov, you would NOT be disappointed! I go twice a year to visit him (unless I need him for additional testing throughout the year) and he is always so pleasant! You get fast results, right away! Just how it should be! I LOVE Dr. Titov, and trust me, you will as well!

He took ample time to listen to my concerns, answered all of my questions, and gave me several different options to solve my problems. I told him i wasn't a huge fan of taking medicine and he also gave me several natural options to try out. He was extremely thorough and I didn't feel at any point in time that he was trying to rush me out the door to get to the next patient. He even gave me his e-mail address and said I could e-mail him directly with any questions..um really? What is going on here?! I've really never experienced health care like this before.
