Update: still a poor choice for family care. My kidney issues seem to be stabilizing and improving since I got off the meds Moser had prescribed ( for 30 years). I fail to see how a Dr living in Spain can be an effective personal doctor. They have associates, I'm sure. If you want to be taken care of by a consortium of Dr's, that your business. But I would prefer one person, one person to rely on and to compliment or complain about when things go wrong. You should not have to see your Dr thru a two dimensional tv screen. I thought I had a reliable San Francisco doctor. He turned out to be the money grubbing type that flew away from San Francisco at the first chance his patient's money would allow. read more

I love being a patient in this office. Full disclosure, I've never even met Dr Moser. Maura Devereux, PA, is my care provider. She is amazing as are the other staff. I've been a patient for many years. Unfortunately for me I'm back at Kaiser, which is better insurance but less good care. Someday I'll be back. In the meantime you should take my place. Why? You ask. Because Maura provides excellent care. She and the staff are smart and they aren't your typical "get through the day" employees. They all seem to enjoy their day and each other. Plus, what really makes them exceptional is their sense of humor. This is a nifty treat for those of us who savor this human behavior. It's hard to get it right. Too much and it is contrived and distracting. Too little and it's, well, humourless. Dr Moser's office gets it right. read more

Simply the best doctor I ever had. I had to move to Florida and miss him. Being transgender he was kind and kept me in good health.

It's been 3 years since my last review. Dr. Moser, soon after my last review, returned to his 45 Castro St. address. This is when Covid occurred. Flash to today and my review will detail that I think the Dr., after Covid- maybe because of the strain the episode on the entire medical system- became "sloppy" and somewhat disengaged. I'd been seeing him since 2000, there were many times he helped thru difficult situations with cancer and other problems. For this, I say "thank you", and is the reason I trusted and relied upon him. Yet, after 2021, I noticed his office visit costs went from $150 to almost $600. When I asked about this he said I shouldn't mind as insurance pays. When I turned 65, he entered the office and before saying anything, pushes an advance care directive in my hand. I feel ok, didn't think I need this, but ok. Future visits seemed routine, he seemed to listen and look at test results, but spent a lot of time typing into a laptop device. Even seemed to look at it for suggestions of care. I joked with him, saying it looked like he was consulting Dr. Google. He said, it was " something like that". Future visits seemed routine- filling out checklists on my meds, blood work, etc . As the years went by and am now 67, I was surprised when I got a call from his physician assistant telling me to go to emergency room NOW. Not tomorrow-now. Dr. Moser was on vacation in Spain. She said 2 things, 1) my blood work was poor, and,2) she had to call as she could not condone the treatment I was getting. I went to hospital and spent 3 days there, where they took blood samples many times. Told me my kidneys where not good. GFR of 15. I never knew anything about this. The way the hospitalists were acting, I thought they were going to put me in hospice! I felt fine, though. Dr. Moser had recommended a nephrologist about a year earlier, but it was not conveyed to me how urgent it was. In reviewing records that I had not had reason to be concerned about, it seems my GFR had been app. 40 for a long time. It's subjective, perhaps, but if urgency had been applied then, later intervention at GFR 15 would not have been needed. Why did Dr. Moser let the situation get so bad and out of hand? Two months after the hospitalization, had what was to be my last visit with Dr. Moser. His last words to me were, "you're on cruise control now". I thought, now, after the CKD diagnosis, I'd see him at least once every two months or so. The office said they would have to call me to arrange the next appointment. No one bothered to tell me Dr. Moser is moving to Spain in Jan. 2023! He didn't, his staff didn't. The news came in the form of a form letter the next day. The letter stated he still can be my doctor!! from Spain? I'm in San Francisco. With CKD...kind of a long distance for possible urgent needs. You might think that now that he's leaving for Spain, why bother with a Yelp review? My comments won't help anyone in San Francisco. It turns out there is Yelp in Spain, and reviews can still be translated and disseminated. I write this so that others can add what has happened to me to their formulations in choosing a doctor. He was quite helpful for much of the time I knew him. I like to think I was a good patient. It's just that the last couple of years, in my opinion, he has been disengaged and problems happened. It may be that this is his mode of operation now. If it is, please look closely at everything the Dr. does.. this is good advice in general, I think. I'd like to make a great shout out to the office staff. They have, almost without exception, been fantastic, caring and efficient. They made seamless the transition from paper records and files to computerized. Hope and Nina always went the extra mile. I will remember them forever. And, of course, a super thank you to PA Maura, who seems to me to have taken the initiative to send me to emergency room. I was totally unaware of how bad things were with my kidneys. Without her action, I would still be unaware and closer to "the brink". Thank you. Around the World- it is Information, how it's communicated and recalled, that can help guide decisions. read more

Dr. Moser is both brilliant and gentle. He's always calm, attentive, and a great listener to all issues/problems. Excellent Doctor.

Dr. Moser has been my PCP since he was the attending ER doc at Davies on Castro back in the 80s and I was there with what was probably a gall-bladder obstruction. I had no insurance then, but as soon as I got some I started seeing him for all my regular checkups and other medical needs. I'm not sickly, but I am getting old, and so having a physician who knows you inside out and can communicate with you in a relaxed and friendly -- but thoroughly professional -- manner is a wonderful thing. On top of all that, he's smart as hell and is always on top of the latest developments in medicine. He's the doctor everyone wishes they had, and I hope I check out before he retires, because I don't want to think about having to go to someone else if I need medical help. P.S. His staff is always kind, competent, and on the ball, and Maura Devereux, his PA, is an excellent second in command -- a RIker to his Picard. (If you know Dr. Moser, you will know how much he would appreciate that reference.) read more

I'm giving up some anonymity here, but I gotta do it - I really can't recommend Dr. Moser highly enough. He's a great doctor and a great person. He's been my doctor for over a decade now and he's never let me down. I can't say its easy to get in to see him all the time, but making an appointment is painless. read more

If you are looking for an endocrinologist in the San Francisco bay area then look no further! Dr. Moser is by far one of the best doctors I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. In a time where doctors treat you like a number trying to get you in and out as quickly as possible, Dr. Moser sets a standard that ALL doctors should practice by. Dr. Moser took his time with me and asked me on numerous occasions throughout my exam if I had any questions. He was everything I was hoping for and trust him without reservation with my medical care. Especially those looking to start HRT or looking for a new doctor to continue your HRT treatment, look to Dr. Moser. He is affluent in all of the new HRT options available and can also act as your Primary Care Physician preventing you from having to establish an outside MD for your medical care. My only regret is not having seen him first. read more

Run, don't walk, to this doctor if you're looking for skill, experience, compassion, and not a lick of judgement, no matter what your perspective or sexual orientation is. Got an infected labia piercing -- he's your man! Seriously, the best doctor I've ever had. read more

Dr. Moser, Nina and the whole staff at Dr. Moser's are amazing. I have been seeing Dr. Moser for about 10 years (god has it been that long???) So, you know most Dr.'s they could care less, they don't listen, sometimes they never really look at you, and when they do, you can tell they are thinking about golf (just kidding) Not at Dr. Mosers.. I have never felt more attended too - the best thing though is that he does not judge... you can tell him anything and like any Good Dr. should do, he gives his medical advice and moves on. Bonus: for any of you Trek fans out there, this is the place for you. Dr. Moser wears a Star Trek ship on his white Dr.s coat.... you gotta love that! read more

I called Dr. Moser for an appointment. It was obvious that the receptionist wanted to get rid of me. She spoke to me as if I were nothing but a waste of her time. I did a lot of research to find the right doctor. I thought I had found a gentle physician sensitive to queer issues, but I think I was wrong. read more

I absolutely love Dr. Moser! He is one of the sweetest and most gentle humans I've ever met. I feel extremely comfortable around him and that is important to me. I'd recommend anyone to see Dr. Moser - you won't regret it. Thank you for the support and care Dr. Moser and team! read more

I have been going to Dr. Moser for a long long long time. Dr. Moser is really helpful in seeing me as a patient. He has no attitude and is really down to earth type doctor and does not speak down to his patients. I also love HOPE....she is the best shot giver I have had. I mean that literally. Bruce read more

I just joined Yelp in order to write this review. Although I've just left San Francisco, I've been a patient of Dr. Moser's for years. And sadly I know I'll never find another like him in my new location. He's like doctors were before medicine was ruined by managed care. He spends whatever time is needed BY YOU -- never making you feel like his need to move to the next patient is priority one. You're always his first priority, and he's totally focused on you for as long as you need. And if you need to get in to see him because YOU feel it's urgent, then his staff will find a way. He cares about not just your body, but your mental well being as well. He takes the time to dig a little deeper, and cover all the bases. His therapy background is not wasted in his general practice. He's highly intelligent, but not too arrogant to open up a reference guide when appropriate -- a real gem. If you're looking for a physician who's motivated by generosity of spirit rather than the size of his wallet, then he's the one for you. read more

Charles A Moser MD PhD - Charles Moser, Ph.D., M.D. - Internal Medicine Near Me - San Francisco, California

I am adding to the chorus by saying that Dr. Moser himself, Nina, Yvonne, and everyone else in the front office are top-notch, caring, knowledgeable, and definitely the opposite of the assembly-line medical care you may have been subjected to. Highly recommended. : ) Becky read more

I was looking for a new GP. Dr. Moser was able to get me an appointment within the month where others wanted me to wait 3 months! Dr. Moser took time with me and followed up a week later. He also has a good staff. read more

Dr Moser is a truly wonderful great doctor. I have been in San Francisco for 30 years and he is the best. He is able to think outside the box and takes the time to explain to you what is going on and what your choices are. If you care about your health do yourself a favor and make him your doctor. read more

So effective, so nice, so attentive. Good bedside manner. Funny. Unique insights into sexuality which makes him perfectly suited to treat and assist differently gendered people. Generally people do not enjoy going to the doctor.. but Dr Moser makes it a lot more palatable. Best doctor ever. read more

Dr. Moser is the best doctor I have ever seen, and I have been to many many doctors. I seriously cannot say enough nice things about the guy. He is great with patients. He will take plenty of time with you, and talk about absolutely anything. In addition, Dr. Moser is absolutely brilliant. I don't want to give up too much personal information here, but he caught something that was hurting me after I had seen many doctors and no one else was able to tell me what was wrong. Also, his staff is really great. They are respectful and friendly and super helpful. They are always on the ball when it comes to scheduling appointments or ordering tests or whatever. In summary: Dr. Moser. Is. The. Best. read more

Maura Devereux, PA, is a wonderful healthcare provider who is part of Dr. Moser's practice. I've been seeing her for almost 2 years. My previous provider closed the practice, so I searched for another LGBT friendly practice. From my first exam, I was impressed how she combined scientific knowledge of health matters with genuine care for the whole person. PA Devereux is easy to talk to and conveys genuine empathy. As a gay male of the boomer generation, that's really important to me. PA Devereux has earned my complete trust and confidence. It's easy to make an appointment using the online portal or by phoning. For visits, I am seen on-time and delays are rare. The staff is efficient and friendly. The office is located in the Sutter CPMC Davies medical building in Duboce Triangle. read more

Dr. Moser seems very kind and intuitive. However, his office is not. He ordered some drastic testing for something that was proven to be nonexistant. When I said that I could not afford to pay out of pocket and would only undergo said testing if my insurance would pay for it, the office staff told me they would contact my insurance company and make certain I would be covered. In the end I was not, and am now on the hook for $4700 in unnecessary medical bills. Thanks Dr. Moser's office! read more

I called to make an appointment and the receptionist gave me attitude, and wouldn't help answer any questions I had. Very rude, will not be going there! read more

Dr. Charles Moser is the most wonderful doctor I have ever been to. I have seen billions of doctors in my day. I have just started seeing Dr. Moser in re transitioning MTF. On my first visit, he gave me a FULL physical including an EKG. My last doctor had never given me a physical during our three year doctor/patient relationship. My visit with Dr. Moser was not rushed. He took a long, detailed medical history of me, asking questions not only about me, but about the medical history of my family members. Dr. Moser is the exact opposite of my last physician. He is not a pill pusher. His office staff was so nice, I wanted to ask them to lunch (well not really, but they were very okie dokie). And besides all that, he is the only physician I know who has a Ph.D in sexology. read more

Dr Moser is a great doc. Had an unexpected medical issue while in SF and the good doctor took care of it in a flash. Highly recommended.

I saw so many great reviews online about this doctor however, the receptionist was short with me, RUDE in her tone and sound like she had no time for me. Not ok Dr. Moser. read more

Dr. Moser was well recomended but..... As a gender friendly doctor I found him dry and in most cases rude. Nina messed up on billing my insurance and thanks to her, for the past year every medical claim gets denied. If you have a doctor and your claims are getiting paid don't change. I thought having him as a doctor was going to be the ticket but it proved to be more of a headache than it was worth. The rest of the staff was totally awesome and I was thankful for their efforts to help resolve the insurance issue. read more

As the other reviews state, he actually takes the time to find out what's up in your life that is impacting your health. And in a totally non judgmental way. He always ends with "is there anything else we should talk about" or something to that effect so you don't feel rushed out. Plus, he's the author of "Health Care without Shame" plus "Sex Disasters: And How to Survive Them" so if you've ever had a ::mental process I was hog tied and totally in the moment but I could still move so my circulation wasn't cut off BUT then... oh geeze I can't tell my dr this!:: "um I was um, so I was like, um, mowing the lawn, yeah that's it & suddenly I passed out" moment with your Dr... you need Dr. Moser. read more

What a great doctor! Dr Moser has been my primary care physician for about a year. He has helped me enormously. What I like about him is he's really smart, and he has a great bedside manner (or clinic side manner) it feels like he genuinely cares about me as a patient and human being. I think he might have been a social worker in another life. He's also has quite a broad range, so. he can do simple procedures right there during a regular appointment. read more

He's about as smart as a doctor can get. As an additional bonus, he's very understanding and doesn't have a trace of arrogance.

Dr. Moser rocks! He so kind and has a great sense of humor and his staff if fabulous too especially Nina. I often show up early for my appointments, and even though they always seem very busy I'm never waiting long. I actually look forward to going to appointments. read more

Dr. Moser is a compassionate wonderful human being. My 88 year old mother was failing and Dr. Moser was so kind, he gave us a little more time with my Mom, guided us and made it possible for us to surround our mom with all of our family. This is the way my mother would want it...his fast, prompt orders were issued and we are so grateful. I can only offer our thanks to him for showing his human side to us. He is a great person and would be a top choice for anyone. You can't go wrong with Dr. Moser. He has such a kind heart. read more

There are two types of doctors: those interested in prognoses and those interested in root causes and options. Curiosity, an eagerness to learn, and a desire to teach separate these groups, and Dr. Moser has each of those qualities in abundance. He falls squarely into the group interested in investigating root causes. Appointments with Dr. Moser begin with detailed, probing questions about your medical history, physical health and medical goals; include a competent physical exam; and conclude with explanations of the benefits and drawbacks of various treatment options. You are involved in your treatment. A few other notes: - Dr. Moser never rushed through an appointment; - Dr. Moser was willing to change his mind based on the results of a battery of blood tests (we were initially going to pursue a more aggressive treatment regimen than we ultimately went with); - Dr. Moser changed my mind about the efficacy of a particular drug by emailing me recent literature on the drug; - I wouldn't describe Dr. Moser as either liberal or conservative with pharmaceuticals; his approach is pragmatic; - Dr. Moser has a good sense of humor; - Dr. Moser's staff is pleasure to deal with; I highly recommend Dr. Moser. read more

He has been my DR since I moved to San Francisco 15 years ago. He is direct and honest. He really knows his stuff and listens to my concerns. He is the first DR who despite our obvious lifestyle differences, I feel gets me and know how to help me care for myself read more

Someone needs to update this area for Dr. Charles Moser. He is no longer at the 45 Castro St. CPMC address. He is at 1199 Bush St, San Francisco...in a distinctly different operation. Whereas Dr. Moser is still kind and intuitive, during this " hot" period of coronavirus in the community, I have found the new staff to be sluggish and less than stellar. Spoke a month ago with the Dr. about this, a month later, still the same. Can't go in for a bronchial exam (long history of such), review meds that may not be quite as effective as they once were, get a Drs. note for work in a timely basis, answering service during mid-day won't pick up phone. I just get the impression that anyone with a cough is frightening the staff to inaction..or maybe they are just too overworked. End result is the same: need to go out of this provider to another to be seen and evaluated. Have been a patient of his for over 20 years and an disappointed to write this alert at this time. Thank you. read more

Dr. Moser is hands down the best doctor I've ever had. Nina is also wonderful and so are the nurses in the office. Dr. Moser runs an old school operation and I just love it. I also appreciate the fact that he tells me like it is even when my nurse self doesn't want to listen. He's just great. Everyone should have a primary care doc like him. read more

Dr Moser is as good as it gets.. Love the office staff. Yup, he gives me tons of blood work to do and I resist.. but in the end I always go and do it. He's helped put me back together again .. I wouldn't think of going anyplace else for my health care, My husband goes to him as well. I've recommended several of my close friends to him. Love the little bow ties and the Star trek symbol he wears too! read more

Dr. Moser is the top in his field. If you have any questions about alternative sexuality and the many ways it can affect your health, I've yet to find anyone more knowledgeable. I was surprised to read a review that found him dry and rude. Are we talking about the same Doctor? Dr. Moser is straightforward and friendly. His manner always puts me at ease, which is important when we need to talk about difficult subjects. He always makes extra time for me, and no issue seems to small for him to take the time to discuss. I've never had billing issues with Dr. Moser. I've had financial problems, and they have been very understanding and flexible. His staff takes great care of me. read more

Dr. Moser is a brilliant, funny and caring doctor. I am extremely comfortable discussing all aspects of my health with him. Haven't yet had to be redirected to his PA, but I assume that they are equally competent. In any case, it certainly helps that his office staff is also a pleasure to interact with. Always feel great after a visit, even when I'm not in perfect health. read more

This Dr. Might be great, but his receptionist could not be more rude, and she could not come up with any more reasons why I could not schedule an appointment. It was like I was playing a puzzle game. Everything I said, she had what seemed to be a pre-written response to. Dr. Moser doesn't this... Dr. Moser doesn't that.... Feel free to call, but I dont think this guy is still alive. read more

One of the baddest motherfuckers in town....I doubt you'll be able to become a new patient because he really is that good....This is a man you can be 100% honest with and be greeted with nothing but love and good vibes- And the kid is always on the looking out like 4 oclock in the morning status if you are in need....I probably should not have said that HaHa..... read more
