Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2023…read more The Pandemic Chronicles The Stanford Medicine Imaging and Express Care is where we headed when I was feeling under the weather and it was on a weekend when my PCP at Stanford was unavailable. Great customer service from the front desk to the nursing assistant and physician assistant. I had to come back to get an ultrasound since I had a small bump on the back of my ear - and the ultrasound tech was nice. My only complaint is the waiting room is small and not a fun place to sit possibly really sick people with colds. Definitely come here if you need to be seen and it's after hours or on the weekend when your PCP is unavailable. Noelle's Notes Good customer service Clean facility Small parking lot

Nice small location for Stanford express care. Needed immediate care and it was available here…read more Easy to locate as they are on the corner next to Starbucks. They have a small private parking lot. Dr Christina and staff are super friendly and caring. Very modern inside. I would come back here again if needed. [50R,2024]

Her quality of care is exceptional and I would recommend he to everyone I know. The office staff is awesome as well, they go over everything with you before the Dr. see's you, and they all have a very good sense of humor. Thank you for giving me a piece of mind!

I'm honestly surprised to see so many 5-star reviews. I recently lost my primary care physician,…read morewho was truly exceptional--she was always available on short notice when I was sick and built a strong, trusting relationship with me over time. Since transitioning to Dr. Shamala, my experience has been very disappointing. Appointments are booked several months out, which defeats the purpose of having a primary care provider. When you're sick, you need timely access--not a long wait that forces you to rely on urgent care visits, as I've had to do multiple times. When I asked about the delays, I was told there are simply too many patients. That response was concerning. It feels like the focus is on taking on more patients rather than properly caring for existing ones. During the one appointment I was able to get (scheduled three months in advance), I felt rushed, as if the priority was moving quickly to the next patient rather than providing thoughtful care. Maybe my previous doctor set a very high bar, but this experience has been frustrating and disappointing. Accessibility and patient relationship are fundamental to primary care, and unfortunately, that has not been my experience here.

Her strong professionalism, knowledge, proactivness continue to save lives, improve well-being, and help us focus on the proactive healthcare! Both of my elderly parents are with Doctor Borodulin, my daughters and nieces, and many other family members. Doctor Borodulin focused on needs of each individually, finding ways to provide the best possible care. Doctor Borodulin is so amazing - she retains all of her staff over the years! Working closely as one well oiled machine, they are very proactive, make referrals, medicine prescriptions, and lab scheduling extremely timely. Just like 3 years ago - continue to strongly and enthusiastically recommend doctor Borodulin!

Would choose 0 stars if possible. Strongly suggest avoiding this provider…read more A family member of mine recently had a new patient appointment with her as they had to find a new physician. After their visit, I spoke to them on the phone and they shared how hurtful and upsetting their visit was. Specifically, they shared that the way she communicated about their health not only felt unhelpful, but extremely hurtful. They felt judged and surprised when she suggested various recommendations for being overweight without asking any real questions about lifestyle, weight management throughout their life, successes, challenges, etc. She jumped to extreme solutions like a liquid diet and surgery, when overeating has never been something they have struggled with. They told me over the phone, pausing as they cried, "If I wasn't mentally stable, I would have left and killed myself." This was not something they had ever said before so wasn't them being dramatic - it was because their time with Dr. Borodulin was so painful. It was also shared that the Medical Assistant was extremely unprofessional, not saying anything when they came into the room to take BP and then yelling the numbers down the hall. I am a former Health Center manager, as well as a public health professional. I am also the wife of a physician. I understand patient care, the training physicians go through, and the responsibilities physicians have to their patients. Flippantly suggesting surgery without discussing previous challenges or success is absurd, as is suggesting a liquid diet for fast weight loss. I cannot stress enough what a terrible experience this provider created and would avoid seeing them at all costs.

It's been a very good experience every time I've seen Dr. Bob…read more He was skilled, patient, and thorough. I liked how he went over the MRI results with me and answered my questions and concerns. I had damaged my inside ankle tendons TP, FDL, and FHL (Tibialis Posterior, Flexor Digitorum Longus, and Flexor Hallucis Longus). Thanks for the consultation, diagnosis, as well as referral to expert orthopedic surgeon. My only negative feedback would be it was difficult to get my bill paid due to issues with website as well as the busyness of the call in number.

I had treatments here for recovery from sciatica type pain with referral from Stanford and tennis elbow. I very very rarely write any yelp reviews, but I felt compelled to write this as my bit to help others choose the right place for therapy and cure. Mark is one of the best therapists I have seen here and/or else where. He knows what he is doing, listens well, is flexible, and customizes to the needs of the patient.

After…read moreseeing multiple doctors with no real improvement, I finally went to Dr. Wolfe at Allergy & Asthma Associates -- and he's the first one who actually fixed the problem. He's thorough, explains everything clearly, and genuinely listens. The staff is friendly, organized, and the whole office runs smoothly. After decades of dealing with nonstop symptoms, I finally feel normal again. Highly recommend.

Dr. Wolfe was absolutely certain of his diagnosis, but it hinged on my having a concurrent sinus…read moreinfection. I got tested afterward and didn't have one. He never considered any other explanation, and it felt like his mind was made up before I finished describing my symptoms. He brought up wanting to prescribe Dupixent, mentioning he's one of their biggest prescribers. That made me question whose interests the recommendation served. He was also rude to his staff in front of me, which was very uncomfortable. Most concerning, he showed me another patient's CT scan *with their personal information still visible*. That is a serious privacy issue, and I'd be horrified if it were my information he was showing to other patients. The office staff were very kind for the most part, and though I didn't have any billing issues like other reviewers, I won't be coming back. This doctor's ego was a dealbreaker.

The office doesn't look like much from the outside, but let me tell you. The care and the quality…read moreof the staff here are absolutely mind blowing. We arrived a few minutes late to our appointment due to some of the side effects of the pre-surgical prep my wife had to do. The staff was patient and understanding, and held onto everything until we arrived. Our nurse was incredible. He answered all of our questions, went out of his way to ensure my wife's comfort before surgery, and was pleasant every step of the way. The surgery went without a hitch. The surgeon was attentive and kind while answering our many questions. They even asked my wife what sort of music she likes to listen to, and played it during the procedure. Truly, I can't say enough good about this surgical center. If you find yourself with a procedure scheduled here, know that you're in for a great experience during a scary time.

He was way more thorough and professional than my previous doctor and I wish I had known about him sooner. Every time I talked to him, he listens thoroughly to me and never dismisses any of my concerns, making sure to give me all the answers I needed. Every time the lab results came back to his office, he immediately contacted me telling me to come in to discuss the results. The entire staff there is friendly and professional. Overall I would recommend Minimally Invasive Solutions to everyone.

Does minimal labs but decreases thyroid meds regardless of clinical symptoms. Dismisses reverse T4 or entertain that there may be issues with tissue uptake of thyroid hormone. Used to be more patient focused, not any more. I agree with the other reviewer (from 14 years ago so he hasn't changed), dismisses you especially if you're a woman and only wants office visits ($$$) just to monitor your "numbers," you don't need an office visit cause he's going to ignore your reported symptoms any way, just be a simpleton and look only at TSH. Also pushes Dexa and bone building meds in spite of their side effects which he minimizes.

He certainly made a deep impact my life in the most profound way with his diligence and knowledge in medicine even in complex GI anomalies like mine. I've even told many of my friends at the Bay Club to see him when they needed a great doctor, and some have become his patients too. I'll try another physician at your office, but I'm sure it will be hard to find anyone quite as remarkable as Dr. Smith. Just had to share Dr Gorman. Thank you and Kind Regards

I am VERY disappointed in the lack of customer consideration I recently experienced at Silicon…read moreValley Sports Med under the leadership of Dr Tiffany Gorman. I proactively sent an email to my doctor (Dr. Doscas) asking about some recent tests and prescriptions only to be notified that my doctor has left the practice. While Dr. Doscas was a great doctor, I'm puzzled by how this was all handled. I received no email or comms from my doctor, the management team nor was I given any guidance on next steps in switching doctors. This is unacceptable. I should have been proactively notified and should have been made aware of my options ASAP. I called and texted the office several times to speak to Dr. Gorman about my experience but did not receive a call back. Instead, I received an impersonal, cold and sterile letter a few days later notifying me that I needed to find another doctor. I would not recommend this practice to anyone given the sloppy nature of my situation was managed- it's completely unacceptable.
