Sally Ward is simply the BEST! She was my mother's physician at One Medical until she passed away,…read more2 months past 100 years old. So I accompanied my elderly mother to see Sally whenever she needed medical attention. Sally is good! She listens, has vast medical experience, thinks deeply as to what is best for THIS patient, is friendly, medically up to date, and gives her patient the full time they need in her office. I am so appreciative of the care Dr Ward had professionally and personally given to my mother, that I unreservedly give her a 10+ recommendation. On top of all that, I like her as a person, which I think is important too.

I really liked Dr. Ward until she told me that the reason I had gained A Lot of weight was because…read moreI was over 40 and that's what happens. Not the case. I kept saying there were signs of fatigue and weight. She kept saying I was fine. I went to my annual ob/gyn and told her the same thing. She checked my thyroid, found a lump referred me back to Dr. Ward for a follow up and low and behold, Dr. Ward called me on Christmas Eve to tell me I had thyroid cancer. She referred me to a surgeon who was on vacation and busy until after the holidays. After my surgery, one would think Dr. Ward would care enough to at least follow up. No such doctor here. She is probably a really nice person, but needs more medical experience and to be honest, I am not sure what she was thinking if she was at all returning my email with a call on Christmas Eve to tell me I had cancer.

I'm not a regular patient of the good Dr. Buxton, or maybe better to say i'm not a very frequent…read morepatient of his. like once every five or eight years i'll schedule an appointment, after i've seen the half dozen other physicians on my list. i sometimes visit these people just to reassure myself, again, that at worst i'm merely an unremarkable example of one battling the long term side effects of frenzomethocarbolism, a condition i just named to describe the syndrome afflicting once and former speedfreaks. this is not to say, though frankly i do suspect it's so, that i'm in fact a boring and uninteresting patient, professionally speaking. "are you off your nut or what? you need to stop worrying about this." one of my docs once scolded, "you're what some of us call the worried well. just be grateful there's nothing really wrong with you." this of course only caused me to worry what serious prognosis it was he was keeping from me, i mean after all why would he waste his time with a person who had nothing working against him but his imagination? one can't help thinking that surely there's something lurking in there waiting for the right moment to drop that first shoe. (now can we please proceed on a more serious note?) Dr. Buxton is a first rate endocrinologist. He not only addresses the immediate condition of concern, in my case glycated hemoglobin, but relates this to results of tests that indirectly relate to the primary physiology involved. providing in my case, and if you will, a kind of universal field theory of my moderately elevated blood sugar. this last is nothing to make light of, as it can be a very serious condition for some, especially those born into it. but for me i believe this particular issue is just one of several self-inflicted maladies of a self-indulgent lifestyle, enhanced in my case from early career years when i made a living drinking on the job as a winemaker. fortunately i seem to be okay, for now, but will watch things and look forward to a return engagement with Dr. Buxton, who is not only highly capable in his field, but also an interesting guy to talk to. the only downside being it does take awhile to get to see him as he seems to have quite a lot of patients, go figure.

Dr. Buxton is very charming. He is willing to try unusual thyroid treatments if the regular ones…read moredon't work. In person he seems as though he wants to help you. However: 1. Coding errors are common so that your insurance charges you when they should not have. You have to deal with Dr. Buxton's office and the insurance company. It is hard to say who is least interested, Dr. Buxton's office or the insurance company in helping you solve the problem. A headache. 2. He does NOT take Medicare. You have to pay up front, then try to get Medicare to reimburse you. Another headache. 3. You can talk with him ONLY during appointments. No email, no phone calls are allowed. You can send a message through the office staff, they will ask him (sometimes), and get back to you, often with a reply that does NOT answer your question. If you have a problem that throws your medication off, you cannot get answers, and it takes, sometimes months, to get an appointment in person, while you are left wondering what to do. Another headache. 4. If he is unable to help you, instead of suggesting another physician, he will just refuse to see you again. Another headache. 5. If his treatments don't work, he will blame you. Another headache. 6. He seems to listen to you during appointments, but, I got his records pertaining to me, and they show he did not listen. Disappointing. Another headache. 7. His records reflect his worry about liability, so they are inaccurate. For example, he stated he told me to get a second opinion. Nope; never happened. Get your records so you can try to correct them. Another headache. 8. Perhaps because he isn't connected with any medical group, he isn't able to see the whole picture of your health so he can suggest another way to help you. Because of his the quality of his care is very compromised. You are on your own. Another headache.

Shannon is a wise and sensitive soul…read more My doctor referred me to Shannon to help me better handle life with a chronic medical condition. From our first session, Shannon approached me with kindness and genuine curiosity. During our time together, she guided me into the inner reaches of my body and mind with patience, openness, and compassion. I had never tried hypnotherapy before my sessions with Shannon. In fact, I went in as a skeptic, but I found Shannon's approach to be powerful and grounded in deep truths. More insights were revealed to me in my couple of months with Shannon than I'd uncovered in the combined years of talk therapy that I've done in the past. Forget what you think you know about hypnotherapy, and take the leap. With Shannon, you're in good hands.

I initially went to Shannon with the intention of working through the physical, mental, and…read moreemotional challenges that come with Long Covid and chronic fatigue. This was my first time doing hypnotherapy so I was a bit nervous to start, but Shannon did a great job explaining to me the process of hypnotherapy and listened intently to what I wanted to work on. After doing a series of sessions with her, I have noticed myself feeling less weighed down by the feelings of sadness and frustration that were so constant for me, and instead moving towards happiness and living the life I want to live. I feel happier day-to-day and more resilient on my hard days. Ultimately, working with Shannon has changed my perspective on life and allowed me to connect with parts of myself I was not even aware of. Shannon is the real deal!

I worked with Dr. Daniel for about 2.5 years as I was getting sick too often with colds and flus…read more Instead of improving my immune system, it got dramatically worse and my overall health and fitness degraded a lot. Dr. Daniel did a lot of pricy and questionable testing and put me on 41 pills a day of either supplements or prescription medicine. I developed a concerning medical condition I'd never had before that made me feel sicker than ever, requiring me to stop eating many foods, and made me so fatigued, all I could do was lie on the couch most days for months. It was miserable. I finally got fed up with her after the second time she raised her prices significantly during the pandemic and fired her. I had spent tens of thousands of dollars on her appointments, testing and supplements. I immediately went off of everything she had prescribed and felt so much better within two weeks. My health has been just fine since I stopped following her advice 18 months ago. She may have a lot of five-star Yelp reviews but read them closely - few mention good medical outcomes from working with Dr. Daniel. That's because she gives her patients a discount on supplements in exchange for Yelp reviews which they write at the beginning of their treatment before they have any outcomes. This practice is unethical and should be illegal. Note to Dr. Daniel: When you attempt to rebut my review, be sure not to violate HIPAA.

Excellent doctor; disappointing practice…read more First of all, Dr. Daniel is extraordinary: extremely well-informed, profound, compassionate, and caring. Working with her had an incredibly positive effect on my health and well-being and I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her, and get back to optimal health. However, there have been recent changes to the practice that feel de-humanizing. Today, in the midst of a pandemic, I tried to log in to ask a question or make a short appointment, and was told my account was "inactive" as I had not had an appointment in a year. I called to see if I could ask Dr. Daniel, a doctor I really trust, a question or make an appointment, and Jason/Jonathan called me to tell me that I was no longer a patient, and the practice was not accepting new patients. I told him I'd been a patient since 2015, and asked him how I could make an appointment, or ask Dr. Daniel a question, and he said I would need to go online and read about my options, that who knows if I could be seen again, but that I might be a "level 2" or "level 3. " When I asked him what that meant, he said I should go online. As a longtime patient, a mother, and a scientist, I felt hurt and disrespected by this de-humanizing interaction. It seemed that the rug had been swept out from under my feet - I was booted from the practice because I felt well and hadn't had an appointment in a year. These new policies, and the interaction with Jason/Jonathan were the exact opposite of my previous experience with Dr. Daniels (warm, humanizing, caring). He left me with no other option than to seek other care.

As soon as I mentioned I was a runner, he immediately noticed my calves were extremely tight. He explained how that was causing the pain and gave me insoles plus calf-specific stretches. Within a week, the issue was gone. It was surprising that such a simple fix worked and didn't require imaging or procedures. After seeing the results, I'm now getting custom orthotics from Dr. Wagstaff to keep my feet supported for more running. I'm very grateful he figured this out so quickly, and I'd highly recommend him to any runner with foot pain.

She didn't seem interested in what I've tried before (including osteopathic treatments from 3 others). Also, there is an email system but no nurse in the office. Any question that I've asked over email was replied, make another appointment to discuss - even when issues were urgent and related to something sold to me by her. She seems like she cares.
