The ED does some things very well: a dedicated nurse and doctor who triage each patient together; very friendly security guards who are helpful; polite and helpful registration people; and a separate room for families or individuals who need a dark, quiet place to wait. What is evident is: everything is resource constrained from parking to staff to chairs, to rooms, beds, doctors, nurses, etc. Some people seem to be here as if it's a convenient place to meet after tennis with the added benefit that they can get a shot for pain management. Others are splayed across sofas groaning and have been for the three hours we have been waiting for my husband to be seen for a stroke. My rating would be lower if everyone working in the ED wasn't hustling and very pleasant. They are all extremely dedicated to helping others. But, it is frustrating that resources are choked at some point and when your loved one needs emergency care that bottle neck is a huge problem.

Policies around appointment times need to be communicated by staff to Patients. Dr. Baidu has a…read morestandard of 2 minutes late equals reschedule. I call bullshiviki on that especially when it takes an unreasonable amount of time book an appointment. Dr. Baidu has set a standard that his staff can't meet. While I appreciate efficiency, I think flexibility is a missing element and then his staff has to take the brunt of dissatisfied patients. Dr. Baidu needs to learn leadership and management versus dictating standards that are unreasonable and have a significant negative impact. I am accountable for being 7 minutes late. I find that a 10 minute window is reasonable. 2 minutes is misguided. I personally think that this physician is a disappointing model. If a patient must endure a 2 plus month delay in getting an appointment, surely the Practice can communicate the precious nature of his minutes and seconds. FYI, restaurants give a standard +/- 10-15 minute window. A banner should go on the website that highlights the 2 minute demand. Very disappointed in Marin Health, who on average takes a delay from appointment time of more than 15 minutes to actually be be seen by a Provider. Marin Health is under resources to begin with (most Providers are not taking new Patients). I'd say Marin Health Executives need to pay attention to their business.

I drove 45 minutes to arrive at my appointment on time that I understood was scheduled for 3:45 PM…read more When I walked in the office they notified me I was five minutes late, (yes just five minutes) and they told me I had to reschedule. Never in my 60+ years has a doctors office told me to go away, as you know, usually you wait. I'm in extreme pain and sitting in the parking lot as I write this. They operate in 20 minute increments so why couldn't the doctor have given me a 15 minute visit, it was only a verbal face to face anyway with hopefully a pain prescription. Why are they jamming people so closely together? To maximize every dollar out of patients and this zero tolerance for five minutes late is like some Catholic boarding school rule out of the 1800s. Very very unreasonable when it takes weeks or longer to get an appointment and you're in pain. If you're looking for empathy this place isn't it, you're a number on a chart! I've seen the doctor in the past, I'm expressing no opinion on him personally but this new policy stinks and no notice was given we must arrive early or we're punished like children. As I discussed this with the embarrassed employee in reception a woman in the waiting room chimed in and said "you should see how bad their reviews are" as she looked up from her phone with a distressed expression (no kidding). I'll look elsewhere for an office that isn't treating us like sheep. Oh, and I recall last time I saw Dr Naidu I had to wait about 15 minutes but I guess that's okay. Forget the value of my time as a business owner and a schedule of my own. I'm not rescheduling I'll move on to a kinder and more competent office and skip the conveyer belt.

The staff has been consistent and responsive - well beyond most Dr. Offices. Previously, I had cervical fusion/decompression surgery and lumbar decompression at UCSF. Every day I wish with all my heart that I'd gone with Dr. Su for those. It's hard not to blame myself because I'm convinced if I'd gone with Dr Su initially I wouldn't be left with cervical chronic pain. Dr Su's approach is to do the most minimal surgery because you can always do more, but can't correct surgery that shouldn't have happened. In my case, this lumbar fusion and reconstruction Dr Su did on November was to correct the first aggressive lumbar decompression at UCSF. I'm now 6 weeks post surgery and feel like I'm getting my life back! Nerve recovery has been difficult and painful, and the staff has been incredible at addressing it. For the first time I feel like I'm part of a team working to heal me. Shout out to PA's Connor and Julie, and Anna and Bruno for back office support. One more thing to consider...the practice consists of several high quality doctors that offer supporting procedures adjacent to surgery.

Review for Dr. Naidu and Dr. Su…read more Apologies for the delay in writing this review--but my gratitude has only grown with time. Thank you, Dr. Naidu, for truly changing my life. One of the things I appreciated most was how honest and transparent both you and Dr. Su were with my prognosis. Your directness allowed me to make informed decisions without false hope, while still feeling heard and respected. You didn't just prescribe a path--you listened to my concerns and worked with my choices. The main reason I chose to fly from Los Angeles--despite the costly flights and hotel stays--was because you believe in starting with conservative care before jumping to surgery. That meant everything to me. Although Dr. Su thought my lower back MRI showed serious issues, he still agreed to try epidural injections first. Thankfully, I only needed two. Those injections gave me my life back. Before meeting you both, I had been off work for six months. Every provider I saw in L.A. pushed for surgery. As a nurse, I've seen patients come back years later with even more pain after surgery. I know surgical techniques have evolved, but I wasn't ready to take that step without a team I could trust--and I trust you both. Just three weeks after my first injection, I returned to work. I'm on my feet 12 hours a day, and I was finally able to do it again. Thank you--truly. My husband got his wife back. My kids got their mother back. Before treatment, I looked and felt ten years older. Now, I feel like myself again. I had been managing well with just Tylenol and ibuprofen for the occasional mild pain. But I made the mistake of seeing a chiropractor recently, and everything changed. My MD ordered a new MRI, and now both my neck and lower back are flaring up again. So--my next visit with you is already booked for August, flights and hotel included. I'm hopeful once again. Lastly, Dr. Naidu--thank you for fitting me in on my first consultation. When I look back, we laugh now about how I begged you to give me that first injection right away. You told me to be there at 8 a.m. because you had a small gap in your schedule--but what you didn't know is that I was already parked outside your building by 7 a.m. I wasn't going to miss that appointment. Best decision I ever made. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Dr. Su--I'll never forget when you looked at my MRI and said, "Oh no... your back is messed up. The epidural won't give much benefit." You had such a straight face that I thought to myself, Oh no... if he can't help me, I'm in deep sh--. But despite that, you still advocated for me. You spoke to Dr. Naidu, and he gave me a life-changing injection. THANK YOU. Just two injections--and I've been doing well ever since! Please, don't give me that look again when you see my MRI this time. Words alone can't express how grateful I am. Thank you.

Initially, we also considered Spring Fertility Center in SF due to many recommendations, but after our first visit with Dr. Joy Brotherton, we felt confident that MFC was the right place for us. Dr. Brotherton treated us as individuals, not just another case or a number for their statistics. She took the time to explain everything about IUI and IVF, enabling us to make informed decisions. Because I was running out of time, we decided to pursue IVF. Throughout the process, the entire team was incredibly supportive. Linda at the front desk, the administrative coordinator Maria (who handled all the insurance matters), and the nurses--Isabel, Ginger, Lia, Jennifer (and others)--were all so sweet and caring. I have very difficult veins to work with, and Isabel was always patient and approached it with a great sense of humor. I only interacted with Dr. Uzelac a few times, but he was kind and extremely knowledgeable. Dr. Brotherton was exceptional--she always responded to my emails in less than 24 hours, and she was always open to hear my suggestions on the treatment, it felt like a two way conversation, this rare to find when dealing with doctors. And the clinic answered my calls promptly 95% of the time with immediate and helpful responses. In a long and stressful process like IVF, that level of communication is invaluable. After two egg retrievals, I am now living my miracle--pregnant with my first child. My only suggestion for improvement would be regarding Prya, the first insurance coordinator I interacted with. Unfortunately, she was rude and made me feel like I was a burden. However, after I brought this to the clinic's attention, they reassigned my case to Maria, who was wonderful and handled everything perfectly. Overall, I am so thankful we chose MFC. The entire staff made this journey special and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

As a veteran, finding a place that truly understands the unique rigors, stress, and invisible…read morewounds of military life is rare. The fact that CIT Clinics in Corte Madera was founded by veterans with combat experience is incredibly evident in how they operate. From day one, they made the typically daunting process of obtaining a referral and approval through the VA completely hassle-free, which was a massive relief in itself. The IV Ketamine treatments have been profoundly transformative. It is important to note that while this treatment is not a cure-all, it does something extraordinary: it tremendously quiets the body's overactive, hyper-vigilant trauma responses. By soothing that constant "fight or flight" physical noise, it creates the essential breathing room for the mind to actually process trauma and see a clearer path forward. Personally, it has made a world of difference. I feel a deep sense of calm that hasn't been there in a long time, and my wife has noticed a significant change, too--specifically that I have fewer outbursts and far less irritability. The level of care and comfort provided by the staff in the clinic is unmatched. Jenn, Jill, Anahita, and Tamara provided a safe, welcoming, and deeply supportive environment during my treatments. Their compassion made all the difference in my comfort levels. Furthermore, the care doesn't stop when you leave the clinic; the follow-up integration calls with Krystal, Sa Ráh, and Brenda have been vital in helping me process and ground the experience. If you are a veteran struggling with the weight of your service, or anyone dealing with severe trauma, I cannot recommend CIT Clinics enough. They don't just offer treatment; they offer a path back to yourself.

When the problem first appeared I…read moretried to work through it for nearly a year and finally had surgery to correct it, which it only partially did (no reflection on the surgeon) so I entered the world of chronic pain management. It's not a pleasant place that can also be confusing. After a number of years with different providers I was unhappy with the results. Fortunately I was referred to Dr. Robert Savala in San Francisco and his assistant Dierdre Jo about 15 years ago for interventional pain management. Within no time it was apparent that I was dealing with the right people. My chief pain complaint was lower lumbar, from L-4 to S-1, with significant and crippling bouts of sciatic nerve problems. After a thorough evaluation we agreed that Transforaminal Epidurals were the most likely procedure to yield good results for me. The decision was made after a strong collaborative approach, where he listened to me outline my complex medical history for as long as it took, and he then thoroughly outlined possible approaches and we agreed on a course of action. I'm happy to say that the results were excellent, and every time I've run up against another episode we repeat that same process as needed and keep getting good results. Finally, as for collaboration, his assistant Dierdre Jo is a huge part of the process from start to finish, getting me in to see him and then into surgery centers as quickly as possible. People typically only write reviews if they're either really pleased or really not pleased, and that's true here. Real chronic pain is bad enough to live with, I've seen and been treated by the best, and I've never met anyone I'd rather work with than Dr. Savala and Dierdre Jo.

I did three appointments with her (an intake, an ultrasound, a consultation) before the financial counselor abruptly told me Dr. Ryan would not take my insurance-- even though they had my insurance card from the very beginning and could've told me that information BEFORE MY 1ST APPOINTMENT. I was forced to go back to square one searching for doctors-- which in my case was disastrous because I had limited time to do egg retrieval before ovary-damaging surgery. Trusting this organization to competently navigate medical insurance and communicate honestly from the get-go with patients about whether they take the insurance MAY HAVE COST ME MY CHANCE OF GETTING A BABY!!! Also, Dr. Ryan has zero bedside manner. My bestie who came to the appointment with me called Dr. Ryan, "the drill sergeant of fertility doctors." Let's put it this way: in the appointment, there was lots of egg math. It made me feel like an egg machine, not a human. Dr. Ryan was delivering incredibly emotionally painful fertility news-- but it was like she was a mechanic giving me news on my car or something, not someone delivering information about my body and my dreams.
