After a good tongue lashing about not getting our 3 year old a hep-b shot (we're planning that…read morelater) the visit only got worse and colder as we went along. Sometimes I think people have taken the wrong career choice. Dr Urbach took no time to try to ease my little girls nervousness about going to the doctor and absolutely no time to try to connect with her on any level. Why is this person a pediatrician? We came back on another visit and Dr Urbach was just downright pretentious and unpleasant. Have never been spoken down to like that. There was never any moment that I felt that she cared for the welfare of my little girl. It felt like she just wanted to get the patient out and move to the next one. There are options out there, if you want a doctor that actually seems to care about YOUR kids rather than her own personal agenda, find another pediatrician.

Happened upon the 1 star review while quickly searching for Dr. Urbach's address. I have never…read morewritten a Yelp review before, but was moved to take the time to do so because Richard C's reviews is just so contrary to our experience. All three of my kids (now in their 20s) were patients since birth. Dr. Urbach is warm, down to earth, caring & a gifted pediatrician. We never experienced her to be condescending and in fact I greatly appreciated that I always knew that no questions or concern would ever be treated as trivial or not worth her time. We continued to consult her well past typical "pediatric" ages because she is conscientious, reachable and a terrific doctor. All three of my kids have mentioned more than once that they wish they could still just go to Dr. Urbach or find another doctor "like Dr. Urbach". She is that special! I highly recommend her and the overall practice.

Dr. Gerdes retired in 2021. I saw her for several years, and my insurance covered every visit. Now…read moreI have an "unpaid bill" that started as $98, and the collection agency wants $130 to take it off of my credit report. The bill was supposedly from 2017. If I owed her money from 2017 it seems like it would have come up in subsequent visits, but it was never mentioned. So is this allleged "collection agency" legitimate? Medicare would have covered anything sent to them because they are my primary insurance. I called them today. They never recieved a bill from Dr. Gerdes' office during that entire year. The Medicare representative also pointed out to me that the date can't be right since I was in surgery on the date the visit supposedly happened. And now I can't reach Dr. Gerdes because she is retired. What can I even do with this?

I wish I had checked the reviews prior to making an appointment, sadly, I believe all these to be…read moretrue. I started off the new year with a new insurance company ( I have always had Kaiser) and completely struggled finding a gynecologist just to refill birth control. I finally called my insurance and desperately asked them to help me find anyone in my area (Oakland), I was then given Dr. Gerdes' clinic. I asked my insurance how much the co-pay was and they said "$30". I called and made the appointment and when I showed up they charged me $50! I told them I had just spoke with my insurance company and they confirmed it was $30. The receptionist, with no indication of hearing me out, demanded the $50. At this point I could not really afford to go waste more time so I just agreed and wrote them a check... The office was really really old and not updated, no big deal. Dr. Gerdes came in and talked to me for awhile, she seemed decently nice. I got my RX and went to the pharmacy. About 7 months later I decided I needed to switch my RX refill location, I called Dr. Geredes office and asked if they can call the remainder of the refills into a new location. It has now been 2 weeks and I left messages and never received a call back. I am super frustrated as this should be a simple task, or at the least RETURN MY CALL

She truly cares about her patients, really makes you feel comfortable, does not rush you, listens sympathetically and patiently as you explain your situation, and answers your questions clearly and completely. She has a great breadth of knowledge about the latest developments in medicine; she is practical and pragmatic in her approach to diagnosis and treatment, orders lab tests as needed, and follows up with you to ensure your treatment plan is working and to modify it as appropriate. As for the office staff, I find them to be committed to being professional, friendly, accommodating, and sensitive to the needs of patients. Scheduling appointments, waiting times, billing, and returning phone calls have not been problems for me. Recently, I needed some medical supplies rushed to me. The office was closed during the lunch hour for a special training session, but a staff member listened patiently to my request and followed up promptly by expediting a prescription to the Costco Pharmacy, which was filled and available for pickup a short time later.

She is amazing at calming down the nervous system, for real. Phew! Part of the trauma was extreme grief for an entire friend group of twenty years that I had left a few years prior. I would walk into her office and say..."please make me cry." Sure enough two to three hours after my treatment, I would be balling my eyes out for a good hour. Having grief stuck in one's body is very toxic and uncomfortable. So grateful for Dr. Amenti releasing my sadness and for me living with happier emotions now. If you have a stuck cry, this is the place to go. You will immediately feel lighter and fluffier. She also gave me an herbal supplement which I LOVE!

But the thing that sets her aside from other acupuncturist is that she really cares about you. She would ask me at the beginning of each appointment how I was feeling and what's going on and she really got to know me. If I told her that my back was bothering me, she would cater the session to target my back pain. And over the sessions, she used a lot of other techniques like acupressure, oils to alleviate nausea and some type of incense thing depending on what was ailing me. She also prescribed Chinese medicine to help me. But I can't stomach the traditional type so thank goodness she was able to order the pressed pills for me. Additionally, she's given me so much great advice on techniques and products to help alleviate my ailments and work towards my goals. For example, when she found out that I was taking gummy prenatal vitamins, she recommended a better quality prenatal vitamin that would also cut out the added sugar. When you're going to Dr. Amenti, you're not just getting some needles stuck in you and then sent on your way. You're getting a comprehensive treatment with somebody who actually cares about you!
