Body scan Machine
Jones K.

First time here and was a great experience. I used there Machine and did a body scan. The information was very useful. I received a print out that went over my Android/ Gynoid ratio, which tells your body fat % and bone density and also Lean mass. The facility was very nice and they had different rooms which offered different scans.

Found out about this place by my thorough stalking skills. I was intrigued and naturally, anyone who is into health and fitness would want to try the services the place offers. The service that I wanted to do was the Dexascan to see how much muscle and fat ratio I actually have, instead of relying on a number on a scale. It was real easy to do; the scan takes less than 5 minutes and the explaining of the results is what takes the most time. Lizzy was my consultant and was very helpful and thorough. I also did a Vo2 test which analyzes how efficiently your body uses oxygen while working out. For those who majored in biology and science , please forgive me if what I'm saying isn't accurate. My fitness showed me that I'm in the excellent range (yes, I'm bragging) and now I know what numbers I need to have to burn fat, which will help me in my goal to lower my body fat percentage, which sadly, isn't something to brag about. The Fit3d scan didn't scan successfully and I had to do it twice, but I'm going to do it again when I return in a couple months because there's something wrong with the machine, so 4 stars it is.

DexaFit Body Scanner!!!!!

I wish I had known about the amazing $169 special they are running for their full round of testing. It is only for new clients and I am definitely a returning satisfied customer. I tried EVERYTHING before coming here, but nothing worked. The DXA scan is cool but the real life changing data came from doing the RMR and VO2. I had no idea that I was not eating enough food and that I was working TOO HARD on the treadmill. Michael was able to show me my personalized fat burning zone, the heart rate where I was burning no fat and all muscle as well as my baseline need of calories. He showed me how to use My Fitness Pal to track my food and set my macros. He also showed me where to buy a heart rate monitor on amazon and how to use it during my workouts. I have gained two pounds of muscle working with my trainer and I have lost TEN POUNDS of body fat!!! I cried. My trainer cried. Thank you for making this possible!

We want to highly recommend Dr. Eugene Roh at the Stanford Orthopedic Sports Medicine Clinic in…read moreRedwood City. My husband and I are both patients and have been for over four years now. Each time we have visited, we've been very impressed with Dr Roh and his staff. We primarily deal with knee injuries and we found him to be very highly skilled, very thorough, knowledgeable, and patient. He explains everything very well, explaining the different treatment options and helping us make the right decisions. He often mentors Residents and Fellows who also may examine you, and we have observed he's very patient with them, and explains details well. We get knee injections and we always feel a big difference afterwards. We really appreciate how accommodating Dr Roh and his staff is, especially EMELY who has been so helpful to schedule our appointments on the same day as we travel four hours away to come to this clinic. They both have been very accommodating adjusting their schedule to help fit us in. So we really appreciate Dr Roh and Emely and all of the staff and we know that we need more doctors like him.

After injuring my knee in a fall, I was referred by the Stanford ER to the Stanford Sports Medicine…read moreClinic. At my initial visit, Dr. Roh did not propose any treatment until I specifically asked whether surgery might be necessary--prompted by my chiropractor's advice that an MRI was needed to assess the damage. Only then did Dr. Roh order the MRI. He mentioned he would be on vacation but said someone from the office would follow up once the results were available. When the MRI results came in, Dr. Moth called and informed me I had a partial quadriceps tendon tear. Without physically examining my knee, she recommended a wait-and-see approach and scheduled a follow-up with Dr. Roh. However, I had noticed a gap across my knee, which I suspected was from the tendon tear. ChatGPT had indicated that tears involving more than 50% of the tendon typically require surgery, so I was doubtful that rest and physical therapy alone would be sufficient. Seeking a second opinion, I visited an orthopedic surgeon in San Jose a few days later. He physically examined my knee and confirmed that surgery was necessary. I eventually underwent surgery nearly two months after the injury. The surgeon confirmed the tendon was fully torn, with only the bottom portion still attached. I do not believe the Stanford Sports Medicine Clinic provided adequate care for my injury. Once the MRI results were available, a proper in-person examination should have been done to make an accurate diagnosis. The delay caused by their advice resulted in lost time and potentially worsened my condition.

Courteous, good bedside manners, empathetic, and most importantly, experienced. I've also found Dr Dragoo's medical assistant, Andrea, to be kind and very helpful as well. It's a bit unnerving to have one, two, sometimes as many as four fellows/residents/visiting doctors in the examining room at the same time, but they've never been anything but quiet and professional. Although all four sports medicine orthopedists (Dragoo, Safran, McAdams, Fanton) can treat all your joint ailments, they do sub-specialize a bit (i.e. Dragoo for knees, Safran for hips, McAdams and Fanton for shoulders and elbows). Dr Dragoo is a top-notch knee guy, and the only diagnostician amongst ~10 local orthopedists to really recognize the root of what was causing my symptoms. Be aware appointment slots are limited, as Dr Dragoo only holds clinic two days a week, so schedule a visit ASAP (you can always re-schedule or cancel if need be). Dr Dragoo currently has clinic on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, operating on Mondays and Thursdays. I've appreciated the timely phone/email responses from Dr Dragoo's fellows and Andrea in between office consultations.

I saw Dr. Fanton after my knee got totally messed up by my first doctor who did two knee surgeries…read moreon me (ACL reconstruction & scope). He did the third of the five knee surgeries on my right knee (another scope, to clean out scar tissue). For a standard surgery (like ACL reconstruction), I think Dr. Fanton is great. However, I was a special case with special needs and problems. I found myself very frustrated that it'd take me up to TWO months to get a follow-up visit, that I would be seen by some resident first (different every time - which is the nature of a teaching hospital, which I understand), and that Dr. Fanton would only come in and see me for like 2 minutes at each visit. Basically, you become one of those barcodes that get stapled to your forehead like in those old Washington Mutual commercials. So if you're ok with long wait times for appointments and don't need special care from your doctor, Dr. Fanton will do a great job fixing you. However, if you are like me who have special circumstances and need special care, then I recommend Palo Alto Medical Foundation, where they focus on patient care (which is where I went after Dr. Fanton, and absolutely loved).

Dr. Fanton is Awesome! I've had surgery on my shoulder three times, the last by Dr. Fanton. I tore…read moreevery ligament in my shoulder -- the one holding your arm into the socket, and the ones connecting your shoulder blade to your collar bone. The first doctor didn't know what he was doing and shaved off the end of my collar bone. The second doctor reconnected the arm to the socket, but that wasn't the main problem. Dr. Fanton did the big job of reconnecting the blade to the collar bone, and in only 1 month my mobility is really good and I'm ready to start physical therapy. I saw another doctor before Dr. Fanton, for the same issue, and expressed to the doctor how important having the surgery site look good was -- I wanted minimal scarring. The doctor ridiculed me and told me "if you don't have any more important questions, I have somewhere to be"! After that I asked my GP to recommend a non-chauvinistic doctor, and he recommended Dr. Fanton. Dr. Fanton was super considerate and really listened to me. When I had my stitches removed he said "oh, by the way, we did internal stitches and made a real effort to make the incision as small as possible." The scar is small and really really clean, I bet in a year you won't even be able to see it! Fantastic job, and I'll update after physical therapy to let you know how the overall reconstruction went!

She gave practical recommendations based on the tests she did and had advanced knowledge of his specific needs and best practices.
