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.

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.

Qualities I seek in a primary care physician:…read more 1. Holistic care - a doctor who asks about all aspects of my health and takes the time to process the information as a whole so that I can improve my overall health. 2. Sensitivity - a doctor who asks about my health & wellness philosophy and attempts to work with me to honor my wishes, someone who does not make assumptions, and does not make biased remarks regarding health or lifestyle. After meeting with Dr. Ali, I can only recommend her on the basis of her friendliness (and that of all other office staff.) Friendliness aside, she doesn't seem to have the crucial qualities that I'm looking for in a doctor. There are quite a number of reasons I wouldn't return to Dr. Ali, but to name a few: Though I explained that this was my first visit to a doctor in a long time and I mostly wanted to talk about my health, Dr. Ali seemed unprepared to have an in-depth conversation. Instead of initiating a conversation about various elements of my health, she immediately asked me about my list of health questions/complaints and rushed me through them. Several of my questions related to diet, blood sugar, weight gain/loss and I felt that they warranted a longer conversation and recommendations beyond various blood testing. Dr. Ali failed my queer-friendly sensitivity test, asking me about oral contraception during a conversation about acne, and immediately launched into statistics about condom failure before I could edge in, "Um, I'm a lesbian." (And we were talking about my SKIN.) Dr. Ali replied "Well, that would have been my next question." All doctors, but especially doctors in the Bay area, should have a conversation with their patients about who they sleep with (and various risky practices they might engage in) before talking about birth control and STD prevention. Because sometimes it's not relevant to talk about contraception to someone who isn't sleeping with men, or is perhaps looking to get pregnant. Which brings me to the last hurrah: Later, when talking about potential ovary issues I might be at risk for, Dr. Ali remarked, "Well, I guess it won't matter since you won't be trying for children." !! Perhaps Dr. Ali is aware of a new law that prohibits gay women from conceiving children? Why would anyone assume that I won't be making use of my ovaries just because I happen to shack up with a lady? Just plain ignorance. So, I'm still on a search for a whole-body-minded practitioner who is hip to the ways of baby-less but maybe someday baby-wanting lesbians. Please send suggestions my way; I won't be back to Dr. Ali.

Happily I have another doctor now!

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.

Every time we visit her she listens carefully, asks great questions, deals with our issue by thinking broadly about what might be the source, and explains her thinking about how to proceed and what steps we might need to take depending on the outcomes of the first approach. You leave with a clear game plan and timeline. We also appreciate that she takes the time to understand what our specialist doctors have found and prescribed, so we are not left to do the integration of our care on our own. She is caring and professional and patient, which is wonderful since my husband has dementia. Her support team is also great. We've been PAMF patients for decades. We find PAMF doctors and care are almost uniformly great and Dr Yan is a premier example of that.

Dr. Yan is an amazing doctor - genuinely caring, patient, and attentive. I usually take my parents to their appointments with Dr. Yan, and so I personally see her excellence in action. She is very thorough in checking on their symptoms, and always patiently explains the different treatment options including pros and cons of each choice. Many times she has caught symptoms that my parents and I have overlooked or dismissed. I can't say enough how appreciative I and my parents are to have Dr. Yan as their primary care doctor. Like many elderly people, my parents feel very vulnerable when it comes to their healthcare. It is such a relief to know that their care is in her excellent hands.

He used SkinPen microneedling to address my skin, and I've noticed fading scars along with a more glowy complexion and less redness. I'm loving the results so far!! The procedures were painless, and he was even able to inject PRF into my more deeply pitted scars for extra rejuvenation. Beyond the microneedling through DrMedSpa, he's also helped treat the stiffness and aching in my neck with trigger point injections and acupuncture. I felt so relaxed afterward, and I've been pain-free since the injections. You can tell he has thorough medical training and real expertise with needle technique. Dr. Chen was incredibly educational and genuinely listens to my concerns. The staff was wonderful and amazing too, making sure I was comfortable and well-prepared before every procedure. I'm already looking forward to my next microneedling treatment. Highly recommend this office!

I arrived 30 minutes early for my first appointment, hoping they might accommodate me, but they were understandably busy. However, once my scheduled appointment time arrived, I was forced to wait an additional hour before being seen. During this 1.5-hour ordeal, I was shuffled between various rooms for no apparent reason, all while watching at least 15 other patients being cycled through to see the same doctor. Even worse, patients who arrived long after me were seen first. When I questioned the doctor about the delay, he offered a standard apology, claiming there was an "emergency." To make matters worse, the facility looks nothing like the pictures online. The actual clinic is flimsy, poorly maintained, and offers zero privacy--you can easily overhear other patients' confidential conversations. The entire operation feels like a money-driven hustle. Save your time and go elsewhere. Avoid this place at all cost!
