I saw a spot on tv for them and was so excited to try. The process seemed thorough, even though…read morethere were administrative quirks throughout ( I had to ask 4 times to get the locations of the lab where I was to get my blood draw, they sent me a spit cup w/out providing any guidance) They also called me several times to ask my gifter to sign a credit card waiver, something that was THEIR ommission. I went in and Dr Lee seemed to know what he was talking about. They mailed me "custom" supplements, which were exorbitantly expensive (over 636.month) and prescribed me a bunch of stuff that I have used a few times and then put away. The levels of T3 and T4 they put me on caused spikes in my blood pressure, heartrate and caused me to have palpitations during exercise. Mind you, I'm a fit 48 year old who works out almost daily. When I tried to contact them about this, the response was that I would be re-assessed (for another 1k) in 90 days, when they would re-up my supplements. What??? I also never received results for the quite expensive "comprehensive" DNA tests that the mysterious spit cup was for. I had to request several times and am hoping that my final request has been heeded. In general, a shoddy shop with shoddy practices for EXORBITANT prices.

I'm a big guy, I used to eat too much, battle with taking good care of myself as life's stress…read morelevels are high, didn't exercise enough, and battled with self esteem issues...who doesn't right? I've tried diets, meal plans, trainers, shakes, bars and lol, even late night infomercials...:) Nothing I've tried seemed to last or work and its not just about not sticking to a plan. I'm 53 years old and my body just didn't have the same jump in the step it had 10, 20 or 30 years ago.The things is, I was at rock bottom about my weight and how I felt physically and emotionally. My physician sees me once or twice a year, at best, for a whopping 7 minutes and has me get some blood tests that end up telling a story of how I fit into the US Health Standards, yet I still felt like a slug. This insanity repeated itself for decades but no longer do I need to allow myself poor health thanks to Gene-Solve. A friend told me about Gene-Solve and how they take a thorough look at your health history, blood tests, overall family history, your DNA etc. She told me that if i really was honest with myself about what was going on with my health, that they may be able to help me. For all of the money I've spent on weight loss products, gym memberships, trainers and overall wellness programs i figured that Gene-Solve couldn't be much worse, so I gave it a shot. I reached out to them and was treated like i mattered, not just another person trying to see a doctor. I feel important to them. The Gene- Solve team and I met and walked through my history, my blood testing, and did a thorough assessment of my overall health and wellness. We worked together to come up with a meal, exercise and supplements plan that I could commit too and manage and at a price that was customized to my needs. Sounds great right?...No its was ffing awesome!!! Dr. Lee and his team works for me, they care about me, and they know me better than my own physician, because they want to help me to be healthy. Gene-Solve reaches out to me regularly via email, phone and even text to check on me and see how they can help me be successful with my health...yes, I actually get some type of contact from them about every week or every other week. Remember...they reach out to me...AWESOME! Yes, I had to pay for all of the tests to evaluate my health. Yes, I may be asked to try different things in regards to what I eat or how I exercise. Yes, additional testing may be required to see how I can continue to get better. It's all chump change in the end compared to the lack of service I get from my physician, and the cost of all the already mentioned diets fads, gym memberships, crossfit/ bootcamps or whatever. I've had a steady improvement of my overall health and self esteem...I've lost 38 lbs over the last year, am more focused on my work when I am at work, and my family when I am with family. I'm not stressed out like I was, my wife noticed a difference in who i am as a man and that I am taking better care of myself. I'm also sleeping better too. In addition to the amount of contact I have available to me, Gene-Solve also meets with me every 3 or 4 months to re-evaulate my needs and goals/ re test to see progress...ROCKSTAR! In the end, you decide for yourself. You'll read here how some people love Gene-Solve and how might not. My friend helped me get out of the rut I was in by suggesting them, but it was really up to me to take their help and run ...no pun intended... with it...:) Do yourself the biggest favor of your life, For Your Life! OH, I decided to see why Angie W's review on 7/15 was so negative and also took looked at her other reviews as I'm always willing to learn. Was surpriseed to see that every review, except one about a sushi bar, was negative. Is anything good...:)

The staff at the UCSF Epilepsy Center are rude and uncaring. When the staff answers the phone, they…read moredo not answers the questions and don't ask if there is anything they can do at the end of the call. It takes a long time for the staff to call you back. It is always important to document the date, time and name of the person you spoke to on the phone. Please make sure you keep copies of the UCSF Epilepsy Center phone numbers appear on your cell phone bill and duration for evidence. Make sure you document the staff when they call you back. Dr. Lowenstein is the Director of the UCSF Epilepsy Center and he is a very nice person. But he needs to do a better job in training his staff on their professional manners over the phone. The Joint Commission recently issued an alert on July 9, 2008 warns rude language and bad behavior among health care professionals poses a serious threat to patient safety and the overall quality of care. Hope that the UCSF Epilepsy Center doctors and staff pays attention to this alert from the Joint Commission.

Steven (or did he introduce himself as Steve? Sorry, I have the case of the Dory's from Finding…read moreNemo) is awesome. For seeing me so late in the afternoon on a Friday, I would say he has quite a bit of positive energy flowing through him. I don't usually go to him for my medical issues but my regular medical provider (Jennie Cossman, PA-C from One Medical Group) was out of the office so I almost felt like I was cheating on her. But, don't worry, Jennie, I will come back to you. He has not stolen me away. ;) So although Steven/Steve would throw out a few medical terms (ones that I probably gave him a strange look with), he went back and made it so I could understand what he was saying. And it wasn't a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am kind of appt. He listened and responded. Woot woot! Overall, a very friendly, energetic and talkative (not chatty and irrelevant but one that will have a non-tangential conversation with you) guy. I will be sure to ask for him if Jennie is away from her office again. P.S. Did I mention that I snagged this appointment the same day, just 4 hours shy of the appointment? Thank you, One Medical Group!

I let the desk staff know this when I switched to their provider, and Dr. Chan booked me a 4 pm appointment and basically spent an hour going over every single backlogged issue I was having with my body. He took a full history, answered my questions, did some tests, he talked about the origins of certain diseases and offered prognosis and advice. His attitude seemed to be that at my age (31) I should have thorough preventative care via Obamacare, and was completely happy to assist in whatever issue I was having. Just awesome! I am so excited to have Dr. Chan as my primary care physician.

If I could give more stars I would!

I would not recommend this place…read more The staff was very disorganized and did not communicate with each other or the doctors. Several of the staff asked me for my information several times, clearly they were not on the same page. They got me confused with another patient and what procedure I was there for, luckily there are protocols in place for this type of thing but it made me very nervous. Only after threatening to walk out did the staff get their stuff in order. The intake staff had not communicated the information I gave during the intake process to the doctors which caused a problem when a doctor got angry at me for "lying" but really what happened was the staff did not communicate with him. The doctor who actually did my procedure seemed to know what she was doing and that is why they get two stars and not one, because the procedure seems to have been successful although, I think there are too many variables about this place that would make me nervous about going back.

Like many things in my life, I'm quite particular when it comes to finding a Medical Professional…read morein whom I trust. Especially given the current state of Health Care in America, and the medical community's relationship with insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies. Often it feels like the patient's needs are last, given the complex business models, billing practices, and sourcing structures. Here's a TED talk explaining the solution: http://www.ted.com/talks/atul_gawande_how_do_we_heal_medicine.html Dr. Curran is one of those few doctors who keeps the patient's needs at the forefront, stays up on her craft, is well-versed in current trends and research, collaboratively works with the patient to resolve questions, has a keen ear for listening, and is an all-around warm and caring individual. I trust Dr. Curran, and I respect her opinion. So much so, that even though I now live in VA/DC, Dr. Curran is still my doctor of choice. In fact, I waited 6-months to get in with her office initially, and now that I'm in, I don't plan to lose my spot! All the good doctors have waiting lists, it seems - in all cities.

I also agree that Dr. Curran is fantastic. After having a terrible experience with a doctor in…read moreWashington DC, I never go to a doctor now without consulting reviews. Dr. Curran has been my OBGYN for about 2 years now and it's been great. She is very kind and understanding and extremely knowledgeable. She helped diagnose a problem I was having that other doctors had muddled up. She has a nice bedside manner. I've cried a few times in her office and she handled it with grace, kindness and compassion. She is also willing to go above and beyond, recommending other doctors and giving her professional opinion while also consulting with you to make sure you understand everything that's going on. Her office staff is nice, professional, and competent. Not easy to find in a medical office. A while back they advised me on how to handle getting into the correct medical group while not messing up my PCP designation. All around great.
