It is rare in today's medical landscape to find a physician who not only possesses an exceptional…read moredepth of knowledge, but also takes the time to treat each patient with the kind of thoroughness, respect, and continuity of care that Dr. Bradley Wrubble provides. I have had the privilege of being under Dr. Wrubble's care since 2009, when he diagnosed me with multiple sclerosis (MS), a life-altering moment that he helped me face with compassion, clarity, and empowerment. What set Dr. Wrubble apart from the very first appointment was how meticulous and informative he was in his approach. He didn't rush the diagnosis or rely on assumptions--he explained every test, every symptom, and every treatment path in a way that made me feel not just heard, but truly understood. He laid out the roadmap of what MS could look like in my future and gave me access to resources that helped me not only understand the disease, but learn how to live with it. These weren't generic handouts or boilerplate instructions--Dr. Wrubble offered personalized, real-world guidance that helped me transition into this new chapter of my life with a sense of direction and control. Over the years, he has remained consistently current with the latest research and evolving treatment options in the field of neurology. He doesn't just prescribe a medication--he explains why it's being prescribed, how it interacts with the body, what to expect, and what other paths may be available if things change. That kind of transparency and education is invaluable, especially with a complex and often unpredictable condition like MS. Despite changes in insurance networks and medical group affiliations, I have continued to see Dr. Wrubble--paying out of pocket--because I simply have not found anyone else who provides the same level of care and depth of understanding. That alone speaks volumes. Many physicians are skilled, but Dr. Wrubble combines skill with a personal commitment that inspires confidence and loyalty. If you or a loved one is dealing with a neurological condition, I cannot recommend Dr. Bradley Wrubble highly enough. He is a rare breed of doctor--intelligent, meticulous, compassionate, and unwaveringly dedicated to the well-being of his patients. Choosing him was one of the best medical decisions I've ever made, and I will continue to place my trust in his expertise for as long as I'm able.

"Dr. Tang refers to himself as a "spine surgeon". He is not. Violating basic principles in placing…read moretitanium anchor screws in bone; his treatment is doomed to failure. He operated on my spine after consulting with me and discussing what I hoped to gain from the surgery. I wanted to stand for various activities without the need to sit, or lie to avoid the pain on standing. I wanted to walk without pain and finally, to stop the spontaneous lower back pain that haunted me throughout the day. Dr. Tang said, the best alternative would be a "spinal fusion". I accepted his recommendation and proceeded with the surgery. I improved and could stand and walk without pain. Several months went by and the pain returned with a vengeance. He recommended another, limited surgery which I went through. It didn't help. I lived with the pain on standing and walking hoping it would get better. After several months, I returned to see him and discuss the results of a recent lower spine x-ray. I'd seen the x-ray as well as the radiologist findings. The screws were loose in the bone noted by the radiologist. Looseness was indicated by radiolucencies, dark areas surrounding the screws. I'm a dentist and familiar with reading x-rays. I asked Dr. Tang if radiolucent areas concerned him. "No, the screws are not that important in your case." At this point, I couldn't help but ask how often screws he placed didn't integrate with the surrounding bone? "About 20% of the time". Then I asked him about getting an M.R.I. of the lower back because it would better show the soft tissue. He responded saying "There is no need. I already know what it would show." I reminded him that I continued to be in pain. He had nothing more to say. As soon as I returned home, I made an appointment at the UCSF Medical Campus Spine Center. They ordered an M.R.I. and when I met with a neurosurgeon, he had bad news for me. The previous surgery was failing. I would need an extensive back surgery. He, Dr. Nima Allen, was ambivalent about my going through with it. By now my pain had substantially worsened. I went home and wondered what I should do? Two weeks went by when I received a call from a spine surgeon's (Dr. Shane Burch) assistant reaching out to me to consult with Dr. Burch which I did. He felt the surgery would remove most of my pain and provide a normal curvature to my spine. A week later, the pain progressed to an intolerable level. I called Dr. Burch and gave him the go ahead. Fast forward to now, almost 4 months post surgical. I no longer have any back pain. I can stand for as long as I desire and I stand straight, no longer leaning to one side. Three surgeons participated in my care, a spine surgeon, a neurosurgeon and a vascular surgeon. Gordon Tang could not hope to handle my case, nor others like mine. I assume he is a competent neurosurgeon, but he is not a spine surgeon; although he claims to be one. I urge anyone reading this who might require spine surgery, to get another opinion. In fact, it's in your best interests to visit the UCSF Spine center. Stephen Kane

Since it never got posted, here goes another try. The reason I'm posting this is that I'd like to 2nd Kristin K's experience with Dr. Kuluva. While my experience was not as awful as her's, I also found him to be pretty dismissive. At the time that I was his patient, I was a graduate student in NYC, and was referred to him via the campus counselling center. At that point in my life, I was dealing with a good deal of depression for a variety of reasons. However, he was often dismissive of the things that I would bring up with him - so much so that I found myself censoring myself during our appointments. In fact, I often left my appointments with him feeling worse than when I came in because he made me feel stupid and whiny. Not exactly a great recipe for building trust with someone. Being an adult child of an alcoholic parent who was also often dismissive of me, this really was an especially lousy way to work with me. After several months, I finally got fed up with seeing him, and quit making appointments. If you give him the benefit of the doubt, I believe he was a doing his residency at NYU Medical Center during the time when I was his patient; and for that reason, my understanding was that he was often dealing with patients with far greater psychological issues than run-of-the-mill depression like mine. As a result, I could see how my issues at the time would pale in comparison. Still, I think it's poor practice to make any of your patients feel worse than when they came in, regardless of how severe their issues are. For those who have had success working with him, all the power to you and God bless. My experience with him, however, was lousy and I could never recommend him to anyone.

The exam itself included taking down notes of my concussion and symptoms timeline, and administering a 30-point evaluation that included knee-hammer-reflex-test and some very easy cognition assessments. At the conclusion he agreed with my PCP's diagnosis of post concussion syndrome, said I passed 29 out of 30 points of his evaluation, and come back in a few months if I'm still not feeling better. When I pressed for anything else I could do, he referred me to cognitive therapy (which was helpful in identifying that I needed to see a vision therapist instead - look up UC Berkeley Optometry School Concussion Clinic at Tang Center, they're amazing!). Dr Richardson gave me a copy of his notes after the exam, and I noticed several inaccuracies (saying "patient does not" when I do have something, or "patient does" when I don't have something). Many months later I was seeing a vestibular therapist and when she asked if I'd seen a neurologist and I mentioned my experience, she asked for the name of the neurologist I saw and on learning it was Dr. Richardson, the vestibular therapist said she'd had another concussion patient who had a very similar experience with Dr. Richardson. If you have a concussion, you probably won't have a terrible experience seeing Dr. Richardson, but you probably won't get much help either.
