Management with great. Unfortunately some of the medical assistants who worked there are extremely…read morejealous and envious and lie on new hires. I'm was hired through a temp agency. I did an interview with an African-American manager and a Latina medical assistant during the interview the only question I asked was " is there a requirement for typing speed" to which they both answered 'No" I've been a medical assistant for over 20 years and I actually left the field because of envious jealous medical assistanys who care more about coworkers and what they're doing rather than taking care of the patients. So I thought I'd give it one more chance because the position was a little bit different than traditional medical assisting. So on my first day the manager who hired me was not there but the medical Assistant gave me a bunch of videos to watch and take notes. I don't know if she was bothered by the fact that I was a good note-taker, that I didn't need her help every step of the way, or just by my bubbly spirit, but as the day went by I can tell that she became more and more irritated with me for no real reason. At the very end of the shift she comes up to me and goes " oh yeah I forgot I was supposed to give you a typing test" she finds some random test online that was one minute long and she stands over me and watches me like a hawk which further increases my anxiety already feeling like this woman doesn't like me. My result were 25wpm on a test that 27wpm was passing. She then goes "oh yeah you're going to have to do a lot of typing" with emphasis on the word "a lot" which is untrue. EHR is more of a note-taking process than actually writing paragraphs. I got a call later that night from the temp agency that someone said that I wouldn't be right for the position. In real life I could do her job and two other medical assistants with ease. I'm 20 years in with supervisory experience. I knew exactly what happened. The very thing that made me leave medical assisting. The workers in these clinics are very Territorial and weird and they I'm more interested in you than taking care of the patients. I decided to make a Instagram story about it because this needs to stop. Putting medical assistants in charge of new hires. I'm sure that a lot of great people have walked through that door and Miss jealousy over here sent them packing.

Dr. Michael Borah is one of the leading physicians in this field and he is your man! He is also a primary care physician at California Pacific Medical Center on the East Campus (2100 Webster). I was referred to Dr. Borah after I had experienced a whole chartful of problems (later, I learned it was acute anemia from my kidneys shutting down). He handled my care with immediate and safe attention to my ailment. Instead of a blood transfusion for my anemia, he personally injected me with Procrit every month until my condition improved. If you ever have a kidney problem or an urinary tract infection (UTI) for example, check with him. Dr. Borah has a very professional demeanor, but for some unknown reason, he reminds me of "Jack Benny" - the nuance, the stare????

I was fortunate to have 3 or 4 friends volunteer to donate a kidney to me but all ended not the best candidates.

I've known of Dr Katznelson since I found out I got sick and was put on transplant list. I've only ever met him once before in a video visit! He did remember me, it was nice when he first walked in, gave me a firm handshake and said "finally nice to meet you in person, we've only met virtually." So that made me feel nice when people actually remember you! He sat and gave me a lot of information I didn't have. He even confirmed some false information I was given a while back. So now that I have the real info, I'll be doing what I can with it. He was patient and answered all my questions. Great doctor! Highly recommend him to anyone!

In the end, apparently, all I got was "hot air" instead of AIR - Accountability, Integrity, Responsibility - NONE of which seem to exist at this organization. They don't deserve ANYONE'S business!!!

Management was great. Hired me for a job. I asked one question during the interview and got a…read morestraightforward answer. Unfortunately they put a medical assistant in charge of me and as the day went by I could see more and morethe she was bothered by my beautiful spirit. I think the fact that I didn't need her help to pretty much watch videos and take notes bothered her. Whenever she would check on me I would very politely let her know that everything was fine and show her the magnificent notes that I took. I even offered to watch extra videos because I still had time on the clock. Well at the very end of the day she walked up to me and says " oh I forgot I was supposed to give you a typing test" she literally stands over me and watches me like a hawk while I take a one minute typing test. I received the 25 on a test were 27 was average. She then says oh yeah " you're going to have to do a lot of typing" with emphasis on " a lot" when in reality using EHR is more about taking notes than writing actual paragraphs. Now mind you the question that I asked in the interview was " is there a required typing speed?" both the manager who hired me and the medical assistant who was assisting her said "NO." So the reality was that this woman was jealous of my spirit and my good nature and my ability to do the job without her help although I've been in the field for 20 years. I'm going to make an Instagram about it because I think it's important to stop leaving medical assistants in charge of new hires. The reason why I left the medical field is that medical assistants are extremely competitive and jealous and envious and will stop at nothing to try to get you fired or leave your job or in this case not give you a position that you rightfully deserve. And I hope they get to see this because they probably run off a lot of good people.

He was told that the appointment was 330 but he should arrive 15 minutes earlier so that he could fill out his paperwork and go over some forms and documents. We arrived at the location at 2905 Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley at 2:45. When he arrived the medical receptionist immediately had him fill out forms documents copy of ID and medical card etc. She was done with his paperwork by 3 o'clock. Mind you once again that is appointment was not until 3:30 PM and it is now 3:00 PM!! I am sure that there were other patients ahead ofHim and we understood this since he was early! We understood and understand that just because you arrive at the doctors office early the doctors and nurses still have other patients that can be scheduled before you since you did arrive early. Mind you once again that we arrived at 2:45 PM it is now 430 and my husband has literally been sitting in the doctors office for over an hour and the doctor has not seen him. I don't know if he is out skiing, at the casinos, on a coffee break, in a meeting with someone, forgot about my husbands appointment but its really bad for business on a first person visit that a doctor would hold you up for one hour without seeing a new patient or an Old patient for that matter. I will be making absolutely sure that he never comes here again and if your time is money I would suggest that you look for another doctor as well. Not is it only rude, it is 100% ridiculous to waste any persons time like this. If you can't see a patient until 430 then dammit make the appointment at 4:30.

Incredibly unprofessional and rude front desk staff…read more I tried to make an appointment as a new patient by leaving a message through their online portal over the weekend, then called first thing Monday morning. The staff member who answered was consistently brusque, interrupted me repeatedly when I asked questions, and made no effort to explain my options. When I explained that my situation was urgent and asked whether there was any possibility of being seen sooner, her response was simply, "No." There was no explanation, no discussion of alternatives, and no attempt to help. Despite this, I agreed to take the earliest available appointment. Because of the office's requirement to cancel at least three days in advance, I understood I would effectively have no ability to cancel without penalty, but I was willing to accept that because I needed care. While she was entering my personal and insurance information, she abruptly stopped and asked, "Do you want the appointment or not?" At that point, I decided not to continue. Interactions like this fall far short of the level of professionalism and respect patients should expect from a medical practice. Regardless of how busy a doctor's office may be, patients deserve to be treated with courtesy, have their questions answered, and feel that staff are making a good-faith effort to help.
