I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Gary and I instantly connected with him. I'm very fortunate to be…read moreable to get treated by him even though he's not accepting patients and his practice is not what it used to be. He had also helped my fiancé who had MRSA. He went in person to a pharmacy to make sure we got the medication- as it was out at our local CVS. He's saving my life, helping me loose weight, and it's a battle and it is a battle for our lives when we are obese. He really is the Best doctor!

Dr. Birnbaum is extremely rude and a horrible doctor! Every time I take my mother in there all he…read moredoes is talk about her meds and we've waited hours to even be seen by him. He never asks her how she's doing and every time she attempts to say something to him, he puts his hand up and says wait a minute and she never gets her questions answered. A visit we had about a month ago, towards the end he said, "I think we're done" and I said "no we're not, there's something I would like to discuss with you." And yells and says, "yes we are done! I've been in here with you guys over an hour and I have other patients to see!" I could not believe my ears!!!! So he realized what he said and finally discussed the other issue. So I took my mother for a follow up visit yesterday and he yelled at her for taking 2 of the same meds that HE prescribed to her, which was causing her to throw up, due to HIS MISTAKE!! So basically he had been over medicating her!! Then he requested that she gets lab work done downstairs. Once we got down there, we looked through the stack of papers he handed us and the lab slip was not even in there!!! We had to go back up to the office, mind you my mother's in a wheelchair! By this time I'm in fumes! He's constantly yelling and cursing (which to me is very disrespectful to my elderly mother) at is laptop because he don't know what he's doing. When he walked in the room yesterday morning his rude a** didn't even speak, he takes personal phone calls during her visits with him and then step out the room as if we have all day to be in there. There's signs all over that says no cel phones, so I believe he should reciprocate the same respect. I am so over this man. I don't know what his problem is. It seems like something outside of his practice is consuming him and he has lost sight of his career or he is overwhelmed with patients because that place is ran pretty much like a free clinic. My mother has been seeing him every since they were on San Bruno Ave. She's been seeing him for over 30 years and she deserves far better treatment than that. Yesterday was her last visit with him. I will be finding her a new doctor. I don't recommend anyone seeing him.

MAJOR REGRET NOT READING YELP REVIEWS. IF YOU'RE HERE - PLEASE READ AND AVOID THE FRUSTRATION OF…read moreWORKING WITH DR. LEUNG AND HIS STAFF. When I initially contacted Dr. Leung's office, it took several calls before Dr. Leung himself answered. He immediately offered me an appt. the next day (should have seen that red flag for such a quick opening) but then said my 30-minute lunch break would not give him enough time for the medical examination. Understandable. I scheduled my appt. for the upcoming Saturday - 1/8. Dr. Leung explained the medical exam fee for immigration cases would cost $320, CASH only, and would NOT be billed to my medical insurance (although he's in-network w/ my plan). More red flags, but his office is near my home and I needed that I-693 form completed in 17 days. The office is outdated and messy. The front desk had paperwork scattered everywhere - patient information exposed and all. The check-in process was fine, and the wait was not long. I spent probably a total of FIVE minutes with Dr. Leung. I read a review about how he closes the door with female patients, but keeps it open with male patients and can confirm this is true. There was also no assistant of any sort in the room with us. He asked me about 3 questions, checked my lungs with his stethoscope, took my blood pressure, then walked me to the front desk. He filled out a lab slip for my blood work - I was not aware I would be sent elsewhere for this - then told me I could come back the following Saturday to pick up the report. His receptionist continued to help me check out, gave me a sheet showing nearby Quest Diagnostics locations, told me to bring them the lab slip and "you won't have to pay a cent." Right. Total misinformation. A patient that checked in after me heard my conversation and questioned what the $320 fee actually covers, since I was being referred elsewhere for the bloodwork. The woman she asked couldn't even answer the simple question, stuttering before leaving to find the doctor. Quest Diagnostics turned out to be closed for maintenance the following week so I didn't get my appointment until 1/17. The week passed and I heard nothing from Dr. Leung's office. Quest Diagnostics confirmed my results were sent to him on 1/19. I called his office all day on the 24th, the day before my interview. No answer, and this time, no voicemail box where I could leave a message. Not even a recording stating their hours. I texted the number I received my appointment confirmation from - no response. It wasn't until the 27th that I was able to get through to Dr. Leung's office. When I spoke to the receptionist, I confirmed that I would be receiving a copy of my report and she said if I want a copy, it would be $1 per page. What?! According to the USCIS website regarding the I-693, the civil surgeon should provide the patient a COPY of the report for their records. And with a charge like $320 - I can't believe they would not comply and actually charge $1/page for a copy. - do NOT accept this. Providing a copy is part of the service. Moving on - the receptionist transferred the call to Dr. Leung, who confirmed he'd charge $1 per page if I wanted a copy. He said that's a standard fee, and "it's up to you if you want it or not." He offered to let me take photos of the report. He asked me to send him my results and I told him Quest Diagnostics already sent my results to him over a week ago! THEN he says, "WHY DID YOU GO TO QUEST DIAGNOSTICS? YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GO TO LABCORP! / I NEVER SEND PATIENTS TO QUEST DIAGNOSTICS, THEY NEVER SEND ME RESULTS!" -- DR. LEUNG LITERALLY FILLED OUT A QUEST LAB SLIP - IT WAS EVEN PERSONALIZED W/ HIS BUSINESS INFORMATION. HIS FRONT DESK ALSO GAVE ME THAT LIST OF QUEST LOCATIONS. WTH. The day came for me to pick up my report and they had me waiting about 2 HOURS. Dr. Leung didn't check his email the day he instructed me to send my lab results, or even the day after - he asked me for my results after I checked in. I took the time to print + complete my portion of the I-693 form but he decided to complete the form digitally and print it again instead - there were so many errors, it had to be redone SEVERAL times, each time taking painfully long. When asked to include my alien number (as mentioned in the form filing instructions), he said "they don't need that, the more information, the more mistakes." What?! The receptionist even tried to say I waited long because of the mistakes on my form as if it was my fault? I gave the Civil Surgeon duties page that states they should provide the patient a copy and refused to pay an additional fee for my copies. The receptionist later apologized and tried to say Dr. Leung was not feeling well. I have no sympathy here. If he wasn't feeling well, as a DOCTOR, esp during COVID times - maybe he shouldn't be seeing patients, esp as most of the patients who arrived and packed his waiting room were elderly. Worst experience w/ a medical "professional" - EVER!

Dr. Leung has been the rudest and most unprofessional doctor I have ever met. I would give negative…read morestars if that is possible. He does not care for his patients and show no sign of patience. He sent me to a out of my network test lab and now I'm stuck with the bill. My own insurance is free for those test. He promised to fix the problem at first and did nothing. I had third notice from the lab requesting the bill before collection steps in. I brought the bill in and showed him, he said "is not my problem and blew me off". I should of looked up the review before seeing him, all those review about him only looking to make money and does not care for their patient is TRUE. I honesty do not see how he qualifies to be a doctor with this kind of work morale. I will also report him to Medical board of California. Think twice before you go see him.

Not the cheapest, but they make healthcare easy. The care is high quality. It's easy to get ahold…read moreof a doctor or nurse practitioner, and they can easily any referrals. If you can afford it, this is a great choice.

We signed up because they called this a "concierge" style model on the website. It's not really…read moreconcierge at all in my opinion. You pay a fee like $40/month I believe to join the practice. We ended up leaving after 2 months of our baby being born and went to another truly concierge-style pediatrician. The issues we had here was that 90% of our encounters were with a Nurse Practioner. Maybe I just got unlucky and never had an md available. The final straw was probably when my baby had his 2 month vaccine, ran a fever the same night, and the NP picked up the after hours call. She made us really nervous that something was extremely wrong even though it was just the vaccine. I mean after hours is for emergency. What if it was something worse- couldn't a doctor at least be on call? They also bill you for everything. I mean everything. Just sending an email with a photo of my baby's red bump, and then they ask to jump on a call for a few minutes just to tell me it's baby acne and then they bill $300-$400. Why not just respond via email. The same thing with asking basic questions like he's spitting up, constipated. Need to jump on a call and then get billed $300-$400. Money is not an issue for us but overtime it just seemed so ridiculous and prevented me from even wanting to email or call in. They also seem to love probiotics here. My baby had dry skin and the nurse told us to use probiotics to resolve it? He's spitting up, she told us to use probiotics. He's constipated. The solution was to use probiotics. My baby also developed a flat head. They sent us to physical therapy and to get advised for a helmet right away. At my new practice, the MD wanted to take a look at him first and then sent a referral to UCSF to get consultation with their cranio team. Anyway. I just felt like it's really cookie cutter here. Didn't feel like they cared about my baby at all. It's more like they provide good service. Yes someone will always respond to your email right away and answer your call. But just expect an NP or to be billed for every conversation you have with them.
