    I am really glad I avoided sedation as I was able to leave the facility immediately thereafter and had a great day!

    I had been putting off getting a colonoscopy for about 5 years because I really didn't like the…read moreidea and couldn't find a doctor I felt comfortable with. I actually chose a couple of doctors before but ended up canceling both times. Finally, after more searching, I found Dr. Kristina Hobson in Los Gatos. To be honest, when I first walked into her office, I was already looking for an excuse to cancel again. But once I spoke with her, I was really impressed with her knowledge and the way she explained everything, so I decided to keep my appointment. Today was my procedure at Silicon Valley Surgery Center, and I had such a great experience. The facility was clean, calm, and very nice. Every single person I interacted with was wonderful. From the front desk to Barbara, who helped review my paperwork everyone was kind and welcoming. My first nurse, Kay, was incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and professional. When she went on break, Nicole took over she was also amazing. I'm not a fan of needles at all, but she did my IV so gently and with so much care. Then Kat, the third nurse, took me to the procedure room she was kind, calm, and very professional. Dr. Michael Block, the anesthesiologist, was excellent. He actually texted me the night before to ask if I wanted to review everything ahead of time or on the day of the procedure, which I really appreciated. We exchanged a few messages, and then he spoke with me again before the procedure and explained everything clearly. He was confident, knowledgeable, and very reassuring. In the procedure room, I fell asleep within seconds and woke up quickly afterward feeling great. Within about 30 minutes, I felt completely fine. I was even able to take calls and respond to emails. And now, about Dr. Hobson ,she is truly a 10 out of 10. Honestly, the entire experience was 10 out of 10. From the office to the surgery center, every single nurse and staff member was exceptional. I'm a very detail-oriented and perfectionist person because of my job, so I don't say this lightly. Something I was so scared of and postponed for 5 years turned into such a smooth and positive experience. Thank you to everyone

    I found out about this group of proctologists via a web search (not on Yelp) and booked an…read moreappointment with Dr. Parrish. He is such a good doctor and person! He listened to my concerns and gave me recommendations, as well as carried out the procedure. I love that the procedure of rubber banding internal hemorrhoids is done at their office rather than at a hospital. It's fast and painless. The consultation and procedure were done during the same appointment and was $250 out-of-pocket. So glad to have discovered this group!

I didn't have a great deal of interaction with the doctor's, but the staff's behavior was absolutely appalling...cursive (short), demeaning, dismissive of my concerns. Truthfully, I was so naïve...I had the perception that medical staff were empathetic...I had just the opposite experience...just horrible :-( In retrospect, I think this was a positive thing as I want nothing to do with this organization :-) At the time though, it was utterly shocking...keeping in mind I was looking to try and keep healthy as I'm over 55 & the preventative procedure I was working on befalls many in my age group. Just some thoughts from my experience folks...all my best if u read this far :-) MY BEST 2 U - Ya' YOU!!! :-)

    A Well-Oiled Office…read more.... Pros: People are top of the line. Good location and parking. Cons: Waiting room is often crowded. Office interiors are a bit frayed. Suggestion: Patients - Be flexible with your schedule. Dr and Staff - Declutter the office and give it a fresh coat of paint. Star Ratings: - Overall: 4 - Scheduling: 5 - Waiting for Appts: 4 - Location: 4 - Waiting Room: 3 - Wait Time: 4 - Technicians: 5 - Dr Hirschfeld: 5 - Office Environment: 3 - Billing: 4 - Parking: 4 - Restrooms: 3 ( needs more cleanup ) It's probably just a sign of age. When you're 11, you go to the orthodontist for braces. When you're 61, you go to the dermatologist, gastroenterologist, internist, opthamologist, podiatrist, rheumatologist and, of course, the urologist...not to mention the chiropractor, physical therapist and dentist ( if you have any teeth left ). So it came as little surprise I needed to see the cardiologist. When I first noticed some scary symptoms in 2009, such as chest pain, my primary care physician heartily recommended me to Dr Hirschfeld. A series of tests at that time revealed no problem, but when similar problems occurred recently, I made a fast dash ( maybe a brisk walk ) back to his office. - Scheduling: The calendar belongs to Patty, Dr Hirschfeld's receptionist. She's very good at juggling appointments which is necessary since the caseload seems quite high and the wait for non-emergency procedures is rather long. - Waiting For Appointments: Depends on the severity of your situation. My initial "stress test" was scheduled within a week of a request, possibly because it came from my doctor. Something was a bit suspicious, but the follow-up "stress echo" took 3 weeks to get on the calendar. Your flexibility in hour of arrival will also be rewarded. My job limited appointments to the afternoon. - Location: In a "relatively new" building at the west end of the Good Samaritan campus. 15 years isn't new, but compared to 40 in the main hospital it is. Good access to nearby roads. - Waiting Room: Fairly small, especially for the number of patients seen by the 3 doctors who share the facility. There are many magazines to read, but you might do so standing up or elbow-to-elbow with a neighboring chair. - Wait Time: Not too bad, considering the high volume of patients. Apart from completing any paperwork, plan to sit for 5-15 minutes. - Assistants and Technicians: Everyone I met seemed conscientious, friendly, knowledgeable and understanding of pain which is particularly important as the treadmill accelerates and incline is raised until your face turns red. Once your blood pressure reaches a certain level and you're about to "cry uncle", they'll help you recover at your own pace. - Dr Hirschfeld: For a guy with seniority in the profession, he's surprisingly energetic and highly involved. On both occasions, he answered all my questions and made time to double-check the symptoms. That's in contrast to my experience in 2009 when I feel he didn't take my issues seriously. - Office Environment: About as you'd expect...busy, a bit cluttered and shopworn around the edges after many years in the same location. - Billing: Efficient. They get your insurance information up front and paperwork is handled behind the scenes where it belongs. I've only to cover a co-pay at each appointment. - Parking: Plenty in a parking structure to the north plus scattered spaces to the east toward Good Samaritan and the older, single floor medical offices. Overall, I'd recommend Dr Hirschfeld and his staff. It's like a well-oiled machine... although a bit overworked.

    I can't recommend this office enough! Compassionate and…read morethorough..you couldn't be in better hands. They don't make them like this any more. Dr Hirschfeld I thank you and your office.

He is a clear example of a specialist who…read moredoes not want to do anything for his patients and tries to kick off responsibilities to other teams even though he is assigned to treat my problem and specializes in the issue. While some people seem to have positive experiences with him, it seems that he reserves his professionalism for certain people and not others. Beware. He is unwilling to spend 5 minutes doing something that could change somebody's life for the better. I am undergoing treatment with him and other specialists for why I keep on losing my voice for weeks at a time. I simply needed accommodations for my hoarse voice and LOSING my voice for significant periods of time. This has significantly impacted my ability to participate in class. My voice is GONE. It can come back one day and be completely gone the next day. It is very normal to seek academic accommodations for a loss of voice. For example, if you are taking a language class, sometimes you need to push out your deadlines for presenting if you literally don't have a voice. My school does this through the disabled students department. And currently, consistently losing my voice has become a disability because I literally can't talk and complete some of my assignments. Many teachers ONLY accept accommodations through the disabled students program: informal requests are often denied. He is the first doctor I have ever met who has refused to provide any kind of letter simply asking for accommodations surrounding a lost voice--e.g. something as simple as "this student needs to have flexible deadlines as they often lose their voice. Currently I am not clear on what the diagnosis is, but I request flexibility for their voice loss. Their loss of voice affects them to effectively participate verbally in class, so deadlines may need to be pushed until they regain their voice." Instead, he sent a very rude and low-effort email saying that he is unwilling to write me an accommodations letter simply because he doesn't know what my issue is and disagrees with the other specialist. This is unacceptable. For example, let's say somebody has some other terrible, similarly disabling disease. It might take a couple of months for the specialists to agree on a diagnosis, but they could still be suffering and their ability to participate in society, work, school, etc. is completely affected. They should get accommodations. I'm getting diagnoses or medical opinions thrown at me left and right. Even if different doctors have different opinions, ultimately, one thing remains the same: I have lost my voice for almost 20 days in one month and continue to be hoarse or lose it altogether some days. Other people had recommended this doctor to me. I had high hopes. I have never encountered such an irresponsible, uncaring, and callous doctor before. I don't doubt that he is probably academically brilliant. I just think that he doesn't realize that taking 5-10 minutes out of his day to fill out a form could change someone's life for the better. Even more malicious: perhaps he does, and chooses not to because as a specialist, he is above this kind of work.
