They advertise "convenient scheduling" but it only allows a patient to "request" an appointment with your current doctor. They'll get back to you sometime in the future to confirm your request. You cannot schedule an appointment with a new provider. You'll have to call between 8 and 5 which might not be convenient for a regular working stiff. Bottom line, scheduling is a real pain and the process should be easier. Once you get an appointment all the doctors and staff are excellent but off-shore customer service brings the rating down.

I originally contacted Golden State Spine specifically to schedule physical therapy, since they…read moreadvertise PT services. I was told I had to see a doctor first, so I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Connor Byrne and was billed for the visit. Only after that appointment did I find out their physical therapy department does not take my insurance (Blue Shield PPO) and I was referred out to outside providers instead. I don't understand why this was not disclosed when I called initially, because it would have saved me time and money -- I could have gone to my primary care physician for a referral instead of paying for an unnecessary specialist visit. On top of that, the outside PT referrals I was given either weren't accepting patients or had availability pushed out for weeks (earliest was March after my January appointment). If you're calling for physical therapy, ask very clearly whether they take your insurance for PT before scheduling anything.

I left with more questions than answers I felt like it was a joke or I wasn't taking serious. My pain wasn't taken serious. Due to the unprofessionalism of the doctor I was seeing and the long wait times I do not recommend this this place.. literally on my way to the ER hopefully I can get some quality healthcare and the doctors there actually listens to me.

The front desk staff make scheduling and check-in effortless, and they always take the time to answer questions with patience and professionalism. I'm not sure what these other reviews allude to, but all of my experiences have been top notch. The medical team is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. They take the time to explain diagnosis' (diagnoses? Sorry can't spell haha), treatment options, and next steps in a way that's easy to understand without ever feeling rushed. You can tell they truly care about patient outcomes and comfort. Every visit feels collaborative and reassuring. What really sets this office apart is how they treat the entire family. They create an environment that feels both professional and personal, which is rare to find in healthcare today unfortunately. If you're looking for an orthopedic practice that combines expertise with exceptional bedside manner, this is the place. Our family has had an amazing experience, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much for your amazing work here and for the Bay!!!

After his evaluation and by his suggestion I was given 2 shots in my shoulder that immediately helped and a month later a scheduled SI Joint injection. I have never had a surgery or really any sort of procedure of this kind so I was quite nervous. The surgical center he chose to partner with BASS was wonderful. The nurses took such great care of me and although it was just a fancy shot they saw I was nervous and did their best to put me at ease. Dr Busfield also made sure to go over everything and was done literally in 5 min. I immediately felt no pain for the first time in months... that feeling lasted a couple days and we have a plan going forward. BC this was car accident related I wasnt able to go through my health insurance. It is extremely hard to find an Orthopedic surgeon of his caliber willing to work off the trust of a lien.

Anyway, I arrived at the facility for a 3:15p appointment with Nina Golubski, APRN/FNP-C, to discuss my MRI results. After waiting over an hour, I finally saw NINA. We met for about 7 minutes. She appeared distracted, hurried and anxious. She did not go over the MRI report results. She only addressed two MRI slides in very sketchy detail and then said I should have an "epidural". But I had questions that I wanted addressed. In fact, when I did ask a question, she constantly told me she was behind schedule and had many patience waiting to see her. She had to leave and offered me a personal telephone call to address my questions. After driving twenty miles and waiting over one hour to see Nina, my questions could easily have been addressed at the facility during our appointment. I wanted to know the risks involved and the success rates associated with the procedure as well as other options. She offered the phone call to appease me for her incompetency. I told her she made me feel anxious, and that I personally felt I was in a medicine cartel environment that had no regard for my individual health or welfare. I have zero trust for this facility. .
