One of the best health care providers I have ever been to. She cares, takes her time with you and…read morecommunication is great! Grace is outstanding and the office is beautiful and calm. The One Medical Group model is amazing. You will not wait forever like you will in many doctor's offices. Whenever I had a question, I emailed Grace and she or someone in her office responded quickly. She listened to what I had to say and took my personal experiences into consideration. I have had many doctors just brush off what I was saying and not take into account what I was physically experiencing. Grace is very attentive, forward-thinking and incredibly sharp. She also referred me to fantastic specialists. I trust her opinion on other doctors. I would stay with Grace Hochstoeger forever if I was able but I moved. I am checking out the One Medical Group in my new city. I hope I have the same experience there!

After reading the reviews on Dr. Susan Bailey on YELP, I decided not to put mine on.  Three were…read more2-5 stars, touting her as a great surgeon, which she is, but her procedure did not work for me. I do not like giving negative reviews, especially for doctors, but I feel people should know. I would give her one star for reasons explained below.  My back doctor recommended her for a leg condition that he diagnosed as vascular, not lumbar.  It was a walking problem I've had for years.  I was only able to walk no more than 20 feet and my legs would start throbbing.  The first time I had an appointment with Dr. Bailey, it was for an Aorta Ultrasound, which did show there was some blockage, more in my right leg, but then spread to my left leg.  After it was done, she came in and said I think we can help you.  But I needed another COVID Test prior to the leg procedure that was scheduled for March 30.  One of her inept receptionists scheduled me for Friday March 5th.  That date was determined to be too early prior to the procedure, so I was rescheduled for a date later that month.  On that day, I drove across town to St. Mary's for the test, and they had no record of me for that or any other day, because Dr. Bailey neglected to submit the required paperwork, something she is known to do frequently!  So the nurse rescheduled me and said she would get the paperwork.  Done.  On March 29th, the day before my procedure,  I get a phone call from Dr. Bailey's office, saying the procedure was rescheduled for March 31st, and to be at St. Mary's at 6am, which I was.  The nurses there were great, prepping me as far as they could, because, once again, Dr. Bailey had not submitted any paperwork.  She showed up at 8:45am!  I didn't get home that day until 5pm!  Before I left the hospital, the doctor gave me a 3 month prescription for Plavax and said to schedule a follow up appointment at her office at St. Lukes in two weeks, which I did for 4/14/21 at 4:20pm.  At 4:55, she still had not walked into the room, so I got up and walked out, saying in a rather loud voice, that I was over this place, the doctor and her very inept scheduling staff.  By the time I was out of the building, they were calling me, saying to come back, that I was scheduled for an ultrasound!   This was the first I had heard of an ultrasound and the last straw for me and this doctor.  I am still getting calls from her office to come back, and all I say is I am through with this office, the doctor and her very bad staff. There, I have finally drafted my review, feel bittersweet about it, but it is going on YELP after all.  People have to know.   And I depend on YELP for their posted reviews for any place or person I am seeing for the first time.  It is well worth it.  Thank you.

Please consider reaching out to Dr. Jonathan George at UCSF for head and neck surgery. While he's…read moretechnically not part of the endocrine practice listed here, I suspect that many prospective patients seeking endocrine surgery could be helped by reaching out to him. I searched for "parathyroid surgeons" and he was highly recommended. He is here. https://www.ucsfhealth.org/providers/jonathan-r-george I was referred to him by another friend who had a more challenging case with her parathyroid. He's been doing parathyroid surgeries for a decade and he does 80-90 per year. He's a pro. He's a skilled surgeon and he will give an excellent clinical explanation of what's going on and what needs to be done. I'm a reporter by training and he answered my questions at length. He genuinely wants to see his patients improve. I was relieved by his confidence and experience. His administrative team is excellent and they move with efficiency and care for patients. Nancy is a wonderful part of his practice. This is a terrible disease. I am grateful for his skills and compassion. What a combination.

This review is for endocrine surgeon Dr. Jessica Gosnell, who is a skilled surgeon with a great…read morebedside manner. Not so easy to find those 2 combined. I had to return to UCSF last year to have my thyroid removed after cancer was detected. A few years prior I had a parathyroid gland removed by Dr. Electron Kebebew, and would have gone back to him but he's now working in D.C. for the National Institute of Health. I feel lucky to have chosen Dr. Gosnell, who left virtually no scar behind and made me feel very well cared for. The main reason I'm writing this review is that I got so many private messages after writing about my experience with Dr. Kebebew. Patients are so anxious to get first hand recommendations from others who have gone through what they're facing, but as far as I can tell no physician review site has really taken off. So, feel free to PM me if you have had a thyroid cancer diagnosis and would like further info about my experience.

I had a thyroid storm in may of 2008 and ended up at St. Mary's. The consult specialist…read more(endocrinologist) was Dr Myers. In the beginning she was nice, sort of reminded me of my mother so I started to see her. Her receptionist is a problem. I managed to get on her good side, but in the beginning, after having been just released from the hospital, she said I'd have to wait at least 2 weeks. Then the doctor told me I shouldn't have waited (uhhh?). It got progressively worse after that. It seems Ann is the chairman of the local (or state?) endocrinologist board of specialists, so I sort of get the impression she's off stroking her ego rather than seeing her patients. She's often out of the office on vacations or trips and really does an incredibly poor job of finding someone to backfill. When she is in the office, she's booked solid and pretty much unavailable. I went to see my primary care doctor about something else and interestingly he knew far more about thyroid issues than Ann has ever illustrated. Bottom line: she's just unavailable, her assistant is a poor communicator and generally overwhelmed with everything, the entire practice is highly inflexible (won't email test results, won't have phone consults, must have appt for everything but never available). Plus she's sort of strange. She pulled a "I know you don't believe it, but you WILL get better" (and actually, I *did* believe I was going to get better... it's a highly treatable condition. Of course, after she did that over and over again I started to worry).

I am writing this as I never got in to see Dr Chin-Garcia. She was the doctor noted on my medical…read morecard as my primary care physician, but as this is a teaching facility they had me assigned to a Dr Kelly Lowe (avoid her at all cost - she is hopeless). I called last week to get an appt. was told Dr Lowe was out till mid-July. So i asked to get an appt with Dr Chin as she is notes as my primary care physician on the card. I was told I cannot make an appt with her as she is not my doctor and is not taking new patients. First i find it unethical that the medical profession would put that doctors name on my card - if I am never going to be able to see her. I was told someone would call me back that day to let me know what can be done. No-one from this facility called me back. However, when I went online and made an appt, they were able to call me back within 10-mins to tell me i can't make that appt. I filed a grievance with Medical regarding this Dr and facility. I finally got a call on the Thursday of that week from someone in the office, i called back friday morning and was told someone would call me back - no-one did (there's a surprise). Finally on the following Monday i speak to someone who refers me to the Rhode Island location that does not have residents and you can see a real doctor (that actually works - unlike those at 3801 Sacramento). Why they could not have done this the previous Monday is beyond me -i've had to be in pain for an additional week due to their sheer incompetence and unhelpful ness of this office. Avoid this Dr and location at all costs. Head to the Rhode Island location -where the staff are 100 times nice and the Doctors too!

I am such a delighted patient of Dr. Chin-Garcia (going on six+ years now), that I'm frankly…read morebaffled by any review here that doesn't easily give her five stars. Between my husband and myself, we have had a myriad set of very complicated health issues, and have worked with 20+ doctors throughout the Bay Area. In all that time, Dr. Carie is easily the most attentive, thoughtful and caring doctor I've had the pleasure to meet and rely upon. She never makes quick or unthoughtful recommendations, and seems to count upon me as partner in maintaining my health, not a lofty doctor on high supplying wisdom for me to accept without question. Granted the office support isn't always on top form, but they do in fact care, listen and try to improve when you bring issues to their attention. Also, I was surprised by one of the comments about the lack of notes. Each and every time I work with her (in person or online) I see careful, detailed records. In fact, before she lets me leave the office, she prints out the notes from that appointment and confirms I'm clear about next steps and makes sure all my questions are answered. Myself, I'm thankful to have her warm and supportive care, and know I can count on her for any issues big or small that require medical assistance. Just wish all doctors cared about the people they treat as much as Dr. Carie cares about her own patients. She's a true gem in an increasingly impersonal medical world.
