What I remember most about him is he always asking for my tv remote :0) to turn down the volume b/c I was using tv as a distraction of being very scared in the ICU.

Thank you for the great care and kindness you gave me Dr. Frederick I have never forgotten about that even though it was last year.

One of the few things that can comfort a person when they're their most frightened is someone who…read morecarries an innate calm, confidence, and intelligence. That person is Dr Frederick. Dr Frederick and his staff are some of the finest medical professionals I've met, let alone been a patient of. I've been seeing him for over a year now for my autoimmune liver disease and he has been the most reassuring, encouraging, helpful Physician I've seen during this process. His staff are professional and meticulous. If you're a bit scatterbrained like myself, they'll send you helpful reminders and phone calls regarding your upcoming appointment. If your refills run low, it's a quick phone call and an almost instant refill. Most importantly, Dr Frederick takes to heart your unique case. He's unafraid of reaching out to colleagues for input and will utilize all possible avenues to achieve an understanding of what's ailing you and what's most likely to help. I am a very appreciative patient of Dr Frederick's. I know his job must be extremely taxing and stressful, but he makes the effort to appear calm and reassuring in all of his encounters. It's the part of being a physician that can't be taught in a classroom. Even when news of my condition isn't the most positive, he does his best to infuse hope into his explanations. I only wish I could do more to express my gratitude.

Dr. Ho seemed uninterested in finding solutions. Didn't ask diagnostic questions, didn't suggest options. The meeting ended with a dead end and Dr. Ho saying "I can't help you unless you're dying" and "the best I can do is prescribe you a low dose antidepressant". I appealed the bill and got incredibly rude messages from Stacey Atwood, the office manager. Don't waste your time or money here. You won't get medical advice and you'll get shaken down.

Everything was kind and copacetic until scheduling the endoscopy. I called back to ask just a ballpark amount for this procedure since I didn't yet meet my deductible. Front office demeanor completely changed and I was made to feel that I was asking something offensive. In a series of calls I was yelled at and given lectures on how American insurance works, told "that's not how this works", told that my insurance company would never provide me something like this and nor would they, told I need to call the facility/an anesthesia contracted company/pathologists/a lab on my own, that I needed to somehow know every CPT code they might use (which I got sooner from google than them), tax ID codes to the facilities, etc. What I was never given was a ballpark price. I was asking a rough guess. Not for full accounting charts and graphs. I had no idea if this costs $1000, $5k, $10k. Never got a single clear answer from Dr Conlin's office and they refused to tell me even what their doctors fee was so I could somewhat gauge that portion (saying "what we charge depends on your insurance") Ultimately it was my insurance co that said the average out of pocket cost was $1700-2750 for this area, but Sutter affiliates had higher than average charges compared to other hospitals for this. My gut told me not to go here, but I needed this issue looked at. My endoscopy appt was made for 9am, but the appt reminder calls I received all said to show up at 6am for a 7am procedure time. NBD. Arrived at 6am and presented my Covid test but they said they would not accept a rapid Binax test (the type of Covid test was never clarified prior and this is what the county hospital and SF dept of health use in urgent care). They wanted me to pay to get another rapid test next door. Thanked them for their time and told them this was all the signs I needed to not go here. I felt I could trust Dr Conlin himself but did not have a positive experience here due to the scheduling and front office experience, and distrust of the obscure billing practices under the Sutter umbrella. I unfortunately would not recommend. Ultimately went with another endoscopy center that was more kind and immediately helpful with this info.

(Of course, just so you make an informed choice yourself: he may also have been nicer because I posted the magical words "risk management" and "tenured law professor" - either of which cause doctors to shift their care.

I had my colonoscopy done at Stanford, which is usually great, but the doctor didn't have followup til ... three months later! I sent the results to Dr. Terdiman, and he responded by email within a few hours with a detailed analysis. It was incredibly re-assuring, and he didn't rake in the big bucks that doctors get for procedures like the colonoscopy itself.
