Dr. Schiessl was personable, listened, made lots of recommendations, and took how I was feeling seriously. I'm not usually a fan of dude doctors, but he was just delightful. Planning on seeing him again (hopefully not soon).

My first experience with One Medical was seeing Dr Schiessl and I was pretty pleased. Here's why:…read more -Same day appointment when I'm feeling crappy, super easy reminders via text -Offices everywhere including one in the lovely Castro -Nice office that doesn't feel like a germ farm + friendly reception who checks me in promptly -I was a few minutes early for my appointment and I was seen early. -Dr Schiessl himself came to get me and showed me to the room, where the appointment started. No waiting around where I struggle with whether it's appropriate for a 34-year old woman to be playing with the tongue depressors and assorted things in glass jars. -Appointment was quick, but it was just a cold so I was anxious to get checked out and back into bed anyway. I found Dr Schiessl very thorough and friendly and while speedy I didn't really feel rushed. He also gave me his email so I could contact him for an RX should I need one after a few days using the medications he suggested. -Efficient! In fact, for a 1pm appointment I was done, processed and paid by 1:09.

Good luck if you would like to see him within 4 weeks…read more He is impersonal and rushes through the appointment. I went for a physical at age 35 and, in a condescending tone, he said "male physicals are not necessary until you're 40 or feel you have a major issue." So much for preventative medicine.

I highly recommend Dr. Schwartz as one of the best docs in Oakland.

He is happy to consult with my specialists, and recommends both medications and lifestyle changes I can make for a range of issues. He's also really great at responding to emails, and makes sure to circle back to check on how I am doing for a particular issue we talked about last. Before Dr Fakhouri, I didn't have a regular primary care doctor as most issues were handled by specialists. But I am so glad this has changed! He certainly makes my life easier, and is a trusted resource. Not to mention, I would totally be friends with him outside of our professional relationship- he's great at being supportive and putting you at ease.

He listens, he cares, he wants things done, and above all: he goes for keeping your health in good shape! A round of applause to you doctor, you good Sir, are certainly being recommended! Bravissimo!

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.
