Dr. Logan is the best provider I've had the privilege of working with. She has accompanied my…read morefamily and I for over a decade now of medical care, and she is just the best. Examples (I have many more but will just share a few) - she always makes sure I understand the results of not only tests she orders but ones that my specialists order if they haven't explained them to me. She makes recommendations that are outside of what I would consider often - like she recommended a specific supplement that stopped the hot flashes I developed postpartum for four years vs another provider who told me "well if that's your only symptom, maybe get some fans." She cares about my kids even though they haven't seen her as patients yet*, she is efficient yet spends as much time with me as she can to address my concerns, and she remembers details about me that make me feel cared for and seen. As a now pretty functional person with severe PTSD, I have to stay on top of treatment and such, and to that end Dr. Logan has been willing in the past to communicate with my psychiatric nurse practitioner and therapist - and honestly, she's one of the only MDs/DOs I work with who has been willing/able to communicate with other providers directly in the past several years and it's SO MUCH more efficient than my other providers passing messages back and forth through me like a game of telephone. (*They don't see her yet only because her office doesn't have connections to an after hours pediatric urgent care clinic - once my kids are old enough to not need that we will be switching.) It's really challenging being a provider in today's American healthcare system, and I really appreciate Dr. Logan and how hard she works to make sure her patients get the best care possible within the broken system we're all functioning in. (I'm a different kind of provider in healthcare so see the provider side often - but I'm also a patient.)

I started seeing Dr. Beal as my primary care physician earlier this year after switching insurance…read morein February. I was dealing with several new medical diagnoses at the time--which is never ideal when transitioning to a new doctor--but Dr. Beal has been absolutely incredible. This is my first experience with a provider outside of Kaiser, and I can honestly say I've never felt so heard or understood by a doctor. I used to think the doctors on TV who really get to know their patients were fictional--but not with Dr. Beal! She takes her time, never rushes appointments, and genuinely listens. She encourages questions and never makes me feel silly for asking anything, no matter how basic it might seem. Dr. Beal is working with me to build a care plan that actually fits me--not a one-size-fits-all solution. I'm honestly so thankful that I had to leave Kaiser, because it led me to her. Highly recommend!

Nina Birnbaum is an outstanding person? And an outstanding doctor!…read more I made an instant connection with her the first time I met her: she is an excellent listener, asks very good questions, is well-connected, and a superior team-builder. When I came to her I had just finished up with several bouts of pancreatitis - very painful. Three doctors before her had left medical practice during a period of intense change for physicians. I asked her to promise me she would not leave; a rediculous thing to ask but just to say how scared and desperate I felt. I am now older and need more specialists, but she has been with me to help build that team. She is incredibly smart and has diagnosed a number of my situations just by listening to my descriptions (and then getting confirmation). She is kind... so kind. And she tells the truth. I am not afraid of dying, but I really don't like loss of control. Which means having a doctor who is honest with me and treats me like a partner in addressing my medical concerns. I hope Nina will remain my doctor for the rest of my lifetime...

Unfortunately I still passed out like a light, but we were well prepared and the staff in her office were incredible. Dr. McCune's medical assistant, Brittany, was also very kind and attentive. We had great conversation and she put me at ease during one of the shots. Unfortunately my appointment did start 45-60 minutes late that day (not sure if this occurs frequently), but in general I have heard all doctor visits often start late. I'll certainly be back!

When I see her and have periodic health concerns or questions, she always takes the issues seriously, and she's able to put them in context of my overall health.

----- 1 star…read more (Late experience from Jan 2024) I cannot in good conscience recommend Dr. Fujimura at this office location. My experience was deeply disappointing. After being referred for an urgent appointment by two nurses who were concerned about a potential appendix rupture due to my acute pain, Dr. Fujimura was much more concerned her schedule than my well-being. Instead of examining my symptoms, she spent time reprimanding me for following the nurses' recommendation and claimed I was "wasting her time" and "potentially endangering other patients if I have flu like symptoms" (I was masked). At one point, I asked if I could use the bathroom and she replied, "well I'm not allowed to say no" - another example of her unprofessional tone throughout the appointment. I was shocked by her unprofessional approach, especially when I was in significant pain and following medical advice from her fellow medical staff. The dismissive attitude I encountered left me feeling unheard and uncared for during a very painful time. The dismissive attitude I encountered left me feeling unheard and uncared for during a very painful time. I did report this incident to One Medical, and I appreciate that the regional staff followed up with me regarding my experience. Their responsiveness was a stark contrast to my interaction with Dr. Fujimura. --- Experience from Prior Jan 2024 --- 3 stars On a positive note, I've been going to this office for 3 years (2019-2022) and have found the office staff to be friendly and helpful. I appreciate their convenient blood draw services and extended lab hours. The staff are also particularly helpful when it comes to calling other offices to locate vaccines when you need them quickly. Unfortunately, a difficulty has been the high staff turnover in the Berkeley Office, with folks going on leave multiple times or sabbaticals without notice.
