I worked with Dr. Apte at Valley Care Hospital 20 years ago…read moreI found him to not only be very knowledgeable and skilled, he was compassionate and caring with all of his patients. I could not say that about every doctor I worked with. The thing I appreciated most was that he returned calls promptly resulting in his patient's not having to wait for pain relief etc. He was also respectful of the nursing staff and welcomed suggestions from those of us who had "been around" and "seen a lot" over many years. At the time Knew him, he was a very "proud Papa" of a sweet little boy. His chest expanded a couple of extra inches when he showed us pictures at the nursing station. I would trust my life or the lives of my family to this wonderful man !!

And ultimately when I fulfill all of their requests and requirements they say we are not accepting, even though thankfully in the notes of the case it was noted she would.

Horrible professionalism from John Muir in Pleasanton.

"Next time bring some pliers!" OR "Rethinking Cartilage Implants."…read more This is an absolutely true story. I am not making up any of this. My wife had an earring stuck in the cartilage of her ear. It was pretty old (the earring I mean, not my wife.) Her ear was sore and perhaps infected. Now what do we do? Of course, we turned to Dr Omarali--he'll know what to do! After spraying some lidocaine on the area, the doctor got out a couple of instruments. They were sort of like pliers, but I bet they're a lot more expensive. Anyway, after just a few minutes of manipulating the instruments he had the earring out. He was very understanding, but I couldn't help noticing that the doctor did NOT have any cartilage implants. Maybe there's a message in that. Note to self: do not implant foreign objects in the cartilage of my ear (or in any other bodily appendage.) I am proud to state that I was the doctor's assistant for this procedure-- I held my wife's hair back away from her ear. Who knows, this might be the start of a new medical career for me. My wife and I have been patients of Dr Omarali for many years. Besides being a great physician, the doctor is a true gentleman. I never feel rushed during my appointments. Note that the doctor's office is now on Stoneridge, still in Pleasanton, but a more convenient location. So another great visit. Next time I'm bringing some needle nose pliers. I bet I get a discount on my copay. And under no circumstances am I implanting objects in any cartilage in any part of my body.

"Competence, Professionalism, Friendliness"…read more Both my wife and myself have been patients of Dr. Omarali for about 4 years. We are very pleased with the doctor, and with this office in general. One interesting feature about Dr.Omarali is that he is actually a specialist in cardiology! I haven't had one of those treadmill stress tests yet, but I'm looking forward to one soon. Dr. Omarali is very thoughtful and takes medical issues seriously. Whenever I have a physical, he takes his time, and does a thorough job. He doesn't try to rush--instead, he tries to do a thorough job. I really appreciate his patience and professionalism. Just recently, I visited the doctor for a unusual issue that was causing me some distress. He suggested several types of therapy, and prescribed different medications. He also suggested when it would be appropriate to go see a specialist. So overall, we have been very pleased with the entire staff at this office. They are all very easy to get along with, and it's a pleasure visiting this office. Plus he's just a nice man.

Last August, I asked to be referred by my primary care doctor for a colonoscopy to Dr. Singh…read morebecause of a good experience my friend had under her care. When I called, the staff immediately issued a prescription for the medicine taken prior to the procedure, but did not receive an appointment. I called after about a month, and an annoyed staff member told me that there was a wait for appointments and I didn't have one. After numerous unreturned messages and 9 MONTHS of waiting, I still don't have an appointment. In that time, this doctor changed telephone numbers and didn't inform me. This is inexcusable in my opinion.

She is very complete and caring and knowledgable. She addressed all of my concerns, and I came with a list. She made suggestions and I felt like I was participating in the decisions concerning my health with the input of her expertise. She is a lovely woman with a gentle manner. She explained her examination as she perfomed it, and let me ask questions along the way. She took time to get to know me before I had to put on the hospital gown, which was a tasteful floral print in actual fabric, not a flimsy paper one. I couldn't have asked for a better visit. You need to pay her up front and then send the reciept into your own insurance for reimbursement, which was easy to do. It is worth it for the value of what you are paying for.
