    I've been a patient of Dr. Camp's for a few years. I started out investigating indigestion and work…read morerelated stress (too many years of all nighters at startups in the valley, eating poorly etc.) Dr. Camp was the first doctor who took a Sherlock Holmes approach to figuring out what the real problems were rather than just giving me a Tagamet and telling me cut down on my work hours. Digestive system analysis found lack of beneficial bacteria in the gut, leading to poor digestion and nutrition. With targeted nutritional supplements and dietary change my ulcer-like symptoms disappeared and even my cholesterol drastically improved. He's a great doctor to deal with in that he can handle followup consultations via Skype video conferencing if it doesn't really require a personal appearance to discuss test results. I'd strongly recommend him if you want some "out of the box" thinking on your health. Be warned however, he's not in anyone's network, but then again after the number Obamacare did on health insurance, who is ^-^

    I started going to Dr. Camp's office in March of this year. I saw the Nurse Practitioner, Marya…read more and sat down for my first appointment. During my appointment, I explained all of my concerns and for the first time in a long time someone understood what I was going through and did not tell me that " you are fine" which I had heard from other doctors. Since, then I have taken tests and have had a couple of appointments and we figured out what was going on with me. I have been very impressed by her dedication and professionalism. Anytime that I would call or email with a question she was there with an instant response. I also appreciate her ability to think "outside of the box" which when you have hormonal issues, hypothyroidism, and extreme adrenal fatigue that is very important because there isn't one prescription for everyone. Currently, I am doing everything that she has advised for me to do and I am feeling better. Based on her advise, I have started to live a healthier life. She has helped me to see how important good nutrition is and she helped me to get on a regular program with my vitamins and supplements. If it wasn't for her, I would still be exhausted, experiencing major PMS symptoms, and have horrible digestion issues. I feel like I am on the right track for me and I am finally feeling healthy again. I would recommend anyone that has issues with thyroid, hormones, etc. to go to this office. I am very thankful that I made the decision to go.

    From the get-go, Alta Mira exceeded our expectations. It was a worrisome process for our family…read moretrying to find a place for my cousin to recover from his drug addiction and his depression. The staff was so compassionate and informative. In an already traumatic time, they helped us through the process with patience and care. We learned a great deal during their 4-day family workshop when we visited the beautiful facility ourselves. I would love to stay there myself! Alta Mira has a full menu of treatment options far and beyond what the other treatment centers we looked into offered. He was able to benefit from the doctors, the therapists, the neuropsychological testing, and the multi-day workshop intensives. They also have awesome options like massage, acupuncture, meditation, and adventure therapies. I truly believe that in order for one to heal, one must surrender to the methods being used by trained professionals. I can't even count how many times my family gave into his rationalizations for his drug use. We were at our wit's end. I am so glad this time, it stuck. Alta Mira doesn't cater to the source of the addiction in such that they heavily medicate the person, quite the opposite! This had been a recurring problem when trying to get him help. Instead, the staff at Alta Mira helped him dive deep into himself and identify the past triggers that perpetuated his use and gave him tools and ways to circumvent his usual behavior that feeds his addiction. They worked with him to resolve his past trauma and to get to the core of why he became addicted. Four times a year they have a complimentary 2-day workshop for their alumni. My cousin keeps taking these workshops and learning from them. We are so, so grateful to have him back and in a position where he no longer has to suffer the same way again.

    Serious failures in treatment responsibility, and just basic respect and dignity. They just want…read moreyour $$$. You'll be doing "musical beds" and dismissed by staff. If you actually complain?! Oh boy now you've really done it, and they will begin to retaliate against your dignity if you get too "uppity." I urge you to save yourself the anguish and additional trauma, and just look elsewhere. Healing does not happen in an environment like this one where the staff are reactive, untrained and inexperienced. Horrific experience, and you should steer clear of Alta Mira. Enter at your own risk.

I checked the patient portal FAQs and searched for some way to contact the patient portal help desk. I explained this to the customer service person at 4:30 pm (when I got the response) and later when the customer service person responded at 8:30 pm. The appointment the following day was scheduled for 8:30 am. Instead of helping me or directing me to how I could access the portal, the customer service person told me "This is the emergency after hours line for medical emergencies. Please cooperate and attend tomorrow's appointment. Good night." "Please cooperate" is not useful feedback if they are not going to tell me how I can cooperate. After reading the other 1 star reviews, which also talk about terrible customer service and a culture of blaming the patient and/or telling them what to do without listening, we did not attend the appointment.

    Yelp deleted my review and I believe so strongly that no one should see this doctor that I am…read moreposting it again. I have been seeing Dr. Shaikh for many years. She always listened to me and spent a lot of time with me to understand my issues. I loved her integrative outlook on health: exercise, chiropractic, physiotherapy, etc. I can no longer recommend her to anyone. In one visit she refused to listen to me, told me to see a therapist and work on my childhood traumas (thanks I already do), made me watch a 10-minute conspiracy video about 5G and COVID, told me not to wear my Apple Watch because it's magnetic, not to get the COVID vaccine because natural immunity is better (I have an autoimmune disease - was she joking?! NO!), and that I needed to go on disability for four weeks (and maybe forever) because I have carpal tunnel. I have since been fully vaccinated and have seen another doctor who does not believe my pain is caused by carpal tunnel and immediately referred me to an orthopedic surgeon. I have a ganglion cyst causing a lot of pain. Not only that but her chiropractor told me I could take my mask off during the height of COVID inside a treatment room and her mask was not tight fitting - she also gets frustrated with you when you don't understand what she's saying. I will be calling the medical network I was in to explain this as I believe she is causing great harm to the community. *Update: I had a 5mm ganglion cyst under the artery in my wrist which was causing my terrible pain. NOT carpal tunnel. Please, for the love of.. do not see this doctor. She has caused a lot of trouble for not only me, but the other physicians who treat me.

She exudes a wonderful calming effect on even the most hypochondriac / overly anxious / severely sleep-deprived new parents (read: me). She is always very gentle (even her voice is soothing) and I appreciate how quickly she follows up on my many emails and phone calls. We had a very rough delivery and first couple days in the hospital and I appreciated how she visited multiple times and then called to check up on my physical and emotional state after I got home. Dr Sanda came highly recommended by my (also much loved) OB-GYN Dr LaFollette. My OB actually gave me 3 referrals for Marin local pediatricians (all small practices run primarily by women doctors) but she correctly guessed I would really like Magnolia Pediatrics. I did informational phone interviews with all 3 offices and narrowed it down to 2 offices to scheduled in-person meetings. Dr Sanda was the first doctor my husband and I met in person and we didn't need to look any further. She was very thorough in answering all our questions about their evidence-based holistic medical approach, vaccines, development, sleep, circumcision, diet etc If you prefer small, intimate practices focused on evidence-based medicine like myself-- Magnolia Pediatrics is definitely the place for you. It is run by 3 women doctors and while I have not met the other two Dr Christie and Dr Kerl, I have heard nothing but great things about them from my doctors, Yelp and close friends who followed Dr Kerl from Prima Medical. Due to that, I feel comfortable seeing any of the other partners if for some reason Dr Sanda is not available. The reception and nursing staff are also all sweet, lovely and efficient -- especially when it comes to giving shots to our crying baby. The office has two separate waiting rooms for healthy and sick patients which is much appreciated, as well as a very comfortable nursing room. Parking is easy and location off the 101 is super convenient! They also have embraced patient tech like myChart so you can message your doctor, pay bills online, check health info and lab results and manage appointments. Lastly, unlike many other medical offices I have dealt with, I have not had any billing fiascos -- it's all been very smooth so far thankfully!!
