Not incompetent, but doesn't think out of the box…read more If you present a perfect textbook case of symptoms, Dr Blackman would probably be a fine doctor. Unfortunately, if you have a complex health problem, this is not the doctor you're looking for. I have multiple obscure health issues, and after investigating the most obvious solutions, it was as if Dr Blackman lost interest in me. He was initially engaging and seemed sympathetic, but after his first couple of diagnoses didn't pan out, he stopped trying. This would have been tolerable if he had been courageous enough to tell me that he couldn't help me, and/or suggested I go see another physician, but he kept stringing me along with the "you need time to recover" routine. After a couple of months of this, I started seeking out new doctors on my own, and found another doctor in the practice who referred me to several non-mainstream practitioners (acupuncture, physical therapy, osteopathic manipulation) who are starting to make a difference. I can't help but believe that I would be much healthier by now if Dr Blackman weren't so conventional and unimaginative.

He is happy to consult with my specialists, and recommends both medications and lifestyle changes I can make for a range of issues. He's also really great at responding to emails, and makes sure to circle back to check on how I am doing for a particular issue we talked about last. Before Dr Fakhouri, I didn't have a regular primary care doctor as most issues were handled by specialists. But I am so glad this has changed! He certainly makes my life easier, and is a trusted resource. Not to mention, I would totally be friends with him outside of our professional relationship- he's great at being supportive and putting you at ease.

His educational and research background (both impressive!) just underline the quality of service he is bound to offer. His professionalism, yet emphatic charisma are always present in his dialogue, showing that he brings the human side we always care for and want in a doctor. He listens, he cares, he wants things done, and above all: he goes for keeping your health in good shape! A round of applause to you doctor, you good Sir, are certainly being recommended! Bravissimo!

My behind felt much better even in recovery than it had with the agonizing fistula that I had prior. The only thing I had no idea about was the anesthesia hangover. You may feel like you have been hit by a truck for a couple of days afterward. No need to fret, as this is totally normal. Surgery is still 100% worth it. Thank you again, Dr. Oommen, for giving me my life back. I will be forever grateful!

I was referred by my primary care doctor for a consult about an ultrasound of my gallbladder. As…read moresoon as the doctor entered the exam room,as I was attempting to put my cell phone and list of questions away that I had prepared to ask to help me since I have memory problems...before I could put both away,he proceeded to take them from me without saying a word. I said I needed the list because I have memory problems,yet he continued to pull both from my hands and snatched them out of my hands and said "You'll get them when I'm done." This was rude and very invasive to do to a patient. That consult was to go over info regarding a gallbladder removal surgery. I was in complete shock,as I was not expecting to be treated this way. I was very uncomfortable. He continued on with medical history questions and info regarding gallbladder as if he had done anything. Though I stated to him how what he did and how it made me feel,he kept insinuating it was all in my head & didn't apologize for his incredibly rude and unprofessional actions towards me. After that experience I physically do not feel comfortable with this sort of physician performing any surgery on me. I felt my personal space was violated. It was completely out of line for a surgeon that's been a doctor for so long to do towards a patient. I would not recommend anyone to see this doctor. Also,the staff is not very helpful or friendly.

Thank you for turning someone who really needed help away. Blue shield is the worst since I had to drive from penngrove to San anselmo to find a doctor just to be turned away while in the middle of having an attack. This is the prime example of how our healthcare system doesn't care if you are sick and dying. To walk into this mans office while in pain, severe facial swelling, and bleeding from my nose and be told sorry won't see you... wow.

I am extremely reluctant to write a negative review of Dr. Werschky, but I feel I need to. I have…read moreseen him three or four times over the past several years for several acute illnesses, which he always treated competently. Dr. Werschky's bedside manner is great--his demeanor and banter are relaxing and comforting, and he asks a lot of targeted questions. As John W. noted, the office facilities and equipment are dated, but I don't consider cutting edge environs a requisite for solid general practice medicine. Dr. Werschky's receptionist, though curt, is very nice once you break the ice. The huge, glaring problem I encountered, however, was as follows: My wife and I have a newborn. On advice from our (stellar) pediatrician, Dr. Martin Ernster of Golden Gate Pediatrics, I decided to get a TDaP (tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis) vaccine booster, as my last round of immunizations had been well over ten years ago. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Werschky (finally reaching the office after leaving three unreturned messages) for the vaccine. When I arrived, Dr. Werschky gave me the TD (not the TDaP) vaccine, instructing me to get the acellular pertussis (the "aP") vaccine on its own from a separate provider. He broadly suggested I call "a travel clinic" to find the pertussis vaccine. I called all of the travel clinics I could find, plus the Safeway pharmacy--none had the pertussis-only vaccine. I called Dr. Werschky's office back and through his assistant he told me to "just go and get the TDaP" from Safeway. Concerned about potential side-effects of over-vaccinating, I called the San Francisco department of health and spoke to their director of medicine. He advised me that, given the not insignificant potential for a serious side-effect of too much tetanus vaccine given at too short an interval, I should not get a TDaP vaccine on top of the TD vaccine Dr. Werschky had already given. Not knowing that the stand-alone pertussis vaccine no longer existed might have been excusable--no one can keep up with every change in an industry. Advising me to get the TDaP vaccine on top of the TD vaccine without first researching and notifying me of the potential negative effects of doing so directly endangered my well-being. Now, instead of side-effects, I just have no pertussis immunity, which puts my baby's health at risk. This degree of carelessness in a physician is shameful.

I have found most doctors were trying to get me under the knife without suggesting another way. Dr. Harf was great and we tried for 4 months with special injections to help my back. He suggested that if this injections did not help me then we could do surgery. The injections only helped for so long and I was becoming more in pain. Last month had my first spinal surgery and it went great! I feel great and I am walking around like I use to before my pain started. Thank you so much Dr. Harf you have given me my life back!

Big focus on holistic care. My appointments always end proactively with action items and next steps... some for her, some for me. Feels like a combination of a friend, mentor, doctor, and coworker. She's really proactive about coordinating the exchange of medical information between different providers as well-it's rare to find a doctor than genuinely feels like an advocate. I found her after a couple years of majorly MEH "care" following a major health issue, so I was a pretty tough critic too. I just can't recommend her enough.
