She has always been…read morefriendly, informative, and I don't get that feeling that I'm being rushed through my appointments. I also enjoy the fact that she is English speaking, and that I can clearly understand her! She has always been good at diagnosing my medical issues and tending to my medical needs. I had a ton of bad experiances with the doctors over at the Pleasanton facility that I finally decided to nut it up and take on the crappy parking over in Walnut Creek just to get a quality general practicioner! Since Dr. Row is of Asian decent, she is also well informed of the medical issues that come with my half Asian ethnicity. I liked her so much my mom ended up switching to her too! 5 happy and healthy stars to Dr. Row!

Dr. Alex De Moraes has been my physician for roughly six months. As a healthcare professional…read moremyself, and an executive focused on patient experience, I couldn't be happier with my decision to join his practice at Napa Valley Personalized Care. I initially decided to seek out a new physician because I was extremely frustrated with the amount of time my previous doctor spent with me during the appointment. If I spoke to him for more than five minutes I considered myself lucky. Add to that the frustration of multiple lengthy delays in the waiting room when I had arrived 15 minutes ahead of time as requested. The final straw was when my doctor read a lab results wrong. Fortunately, I had reviewed them myself before the visit, and was able to correct his mistake. It's scary to think of the mistakes that likely routinely happen and go unnoticed by less informed patients. Dr. De Moraes has been spectacular. He spends the time with me to talk about my holistic well-being, rather than the symptoms that brought me to the clinic that day. He is personable, thoughtful, thorough and when I leave his office, or speak to him on the phone, I don't worry that something might have been missed. On one occasion the pharmacy I go to made a mistake on a prescription late on a Friday evening. I was sure I'd have to wait until Monday, but he was available to correct the pharmacy's mistake while I waited and there was no issue. I think what I like most is that he remembers my name as patient, which is what prompted this review. I saw him in the grocery store weeks after I'd seen him and he remembered my name, and asked how I was doing. How crazy is that? My previous doctor wouldn't have known me if I was the only person in the room. Would your doctor know you? I'm extremely happy with my decision to choose Dr. De Moraes as my physician. As I mentioned, I'm a healthcare professional myself and can be very critical of the broken system we all have to endure. Dr. Moraes made has made my healthcare easy to manage and immensely less stressful. I would recommend him to all my friends and family and trust him with my well-being. Thank you Dr. De Moraes!

My mother was under the care of Dr. Alex De Moraes at The Meadows Of Napa Valley Skilled Nursing…read moreFacility while convalescing from surgery for a small bowel obstruction. While the most alarming incident -- involving verbal abuse -- occurred just before her discharge, there were other episodes of negligence during her stay there that can be attributed to Dr. De Moraes. During her stay at the facility, my mother was having very severe breathing problems related to chronic heart failure and post surgery complications. Dr. De Moraes was very resistant to input from both family and cardiologist regarding my mother's heart failure-related breathing issues that are relieved by diuresis. He was extremely upset that I was advocating for urgent attention to this matter and he complained vigorously when I consulted with my mother's cardiologist from UCSF and asked her to call him. The first time Dr. De Moraes spoke to my mother's cardiologist, he denied any signs of fluid overload in my mother and rejected the possibility that this could be causing her breathing issues. Based on my experience as her main caregiver and, seeing that her breathing continued to worsen, I contacted my mother's cardiologist once more and asked her to please call Dr. De Moraes again to try to get him to begin diuresis urgently. After speaking to the cardiologist the second time, Dr. De Moraes finally proceeded to prescribe a version of the recommended treatment. However, Dr. De Moraes refused to administer the medication in the correct dosage and manner and, had my mother complied with De Moraes' dosing, it would have been in great excess of what has been determined as the maximum dosage she can tolerate without experiencing acute kidney injury. My mother, knowing this, was able to refuse the quantities that Dr de Moraes had prescribed and instead she took the medication according to her cardiologist ongoing recommendation. Soon the diuresis began and within 24 hours, her breathing began to improve dramatically. After a few days at The Meadows Skilled Nursing, my concern was increasing about the care of my mother was receiving under Dr. De Moraes and so I began to make plans for her discharge early the following week. Beginning on Saturday afternoon, my mother began having painful spasms and cramping in her rectum and anus. After multiple telephone calls to the facility alerting them of the situation and suggesting that they evaluate her for a fecal impaction, the head of nursing examined her late Sunday afternoon and consulted with Dr. De Moraes. I assume they concluded she had hemorrhoids because De Moraes prescribed Hydrocortisone cream which was administered 16 hours later. All day Sunday, all day Monday and all morning Tuesday, my mother was experiencing waves of spasms and cramping every 15 to 20 minutes and would cry out in pain with each of these episodes. I continued to make contact Head Of Nursing by phone and was told that the doctor had decided the plan of treatment and that I should not continue to interfere. Finally, on Tuesday morning when she was about to be transferred back home, I insisted that they not release her without the doctor examining her. O was told he Had already seen her but actually that was before the fecal impaction symptoms emerged. So I insisted they allow me to speak to the doctor directly by phone. He became very upset with me, calling me the worst family member he had ever had to deal with and saying that I was creating a "barrier of care." I told him that I was acting out of love for my mother and that I was very concerned that she was suffering from a severe fecal impactation and did not think it was a good idea for them to release her from their care without addressing the acute condition and determining whether or not she was in any danger. At that time he made several threats about refusing to discharge her and cutting off our ability to communicate by FaceTime during the rest of her stay (this is all taking place during the Covid-19 crisis and visitors are not allowed into the facility). He finally agreed to examine her and within five minutes was in her room. Upon examination, my mother was found to be fecally impacted and the impaction was cleared. She was then discharged and transported home. The pain did not come back and has not come back since. Her 48 hour ordeal was now over. However during the process Dr. De Moraes proceeded to verbally abuse my mother calling her the worst patient he had ever had, a disgusting person and other such things, and saying that she "didn't deserve to be alive." My mother has been very upset in the time since she experienced this abuse. Her memory of the constant waves of excruciating pain, the negligence and the doctor's verbal abuse run through her head throughout the day causing her a great deal of PTSD-like distress. She has had several nightmares involving the doctor as well.

I can't take it anymore. As a long time patient I can honestly say that Dr. Limvarapuss is the…read moreworst. To start with, this guy refuses to use Epic or integrate with it in any way--the system that everybody else uses. This means that none of my other doctors can see anything about my history with him--no blood tests, no notes, no diagnoses and it makes it very hard on all my other providers and me. I had my primary care physician say to me that he hadn't seen a blood test for me for years and I have one every 6 months! Every time I need this data shared I have to call his office, talk to somebody in records and give them the information of the doctor to share records with and they don't often actually do it. I had to hand him my phone with the John Muir health app open so he could read notes from my cardiologist after I specifically called his office before my appointment and told them to give him the notes from the same cardiologist. Even more annoying, the in-house labs kept charging me copays then also sending me a paper bill for like $2 after the fact. I get the same tests every time, why can't you figure out what this costs and charge me all at once instead of wasting my time paying paper bills. I got fed up with that and went to a lab on the 2nd floor of the same building but because he doesn't play well with Epic I have to hand deliver paper orders--what is it 1985? Even worse, I was left for over an hour sitting in the exam room on 2 separate occasions because he was "busy". I only see this guy once every 6 months so the ratio of him being on time vs extremely late is pretty sad. The final straw was that he and his staff checked me into a virtual appointment and then I guess they forgot about me because 90 minutes later I call the office from my phone and its closed! I get the answering service to get him on the line and he acts like he had no idea why I was scheduled to see him--dude, you asked me to come to this appointment! I have never been so disrespected by a doctor.

The bedside manner from the other doctors were undesireable but the nursing staff was alright. Dr Morgese herself was probably the best experience out of an overall experience, she once took a question I had and researched it, and called me back a month later for further exploration. My biggest complaint are the administrative/reception ladies. Since we dont like this office, we've decided to take our son back to his original pediatrician in San Francisco. I've called three times to have his records transferred witout luck. They required me to fill out a release for the records, and fax it back...I did it promptly. They never released the records. I called again and the woman at the reception took my number and never called me back. Today I called at 12:15 to hear a recording that they are at lunch from 12:30-1:30 daily and to leave a message. How can anyone think it's ok to take their kid to a place that runs like this? This is supposed to be the most recommended Pediatrician in Napa - hence the commute to SF for our original Pediatrician.

I'm truly so grateful a friend of mine recommeded her to us, so I want to share this with other mamas/parents that have had similar concerns. Here is a before and after from our first Appt. Such a big difference! We also learned that our son has a lip tie and that the reason he wasn't nursing well on one side was because he couldn't turn his head properly. That's now been fixed and he nursed great on both sides last night! Dr. Cislo also manipulated the bones in my son's mouth to help with his gag reflux and explained that part of the reason people have crooked teeth is because the bones in the head are crooked, and that's why teeth often shift back without use of retainers. We received so much great information yesterday and so many answers we had been looking for, and will now be scheduling our first Appt. with a highly recommended dentist to fix his lip tie. Dr. Cislo also helped me get back on track with the vitamins and the recommended units I need to live a much healthier life, and shared that my son may be getting sick a lot because he needs more Vitamin D. I'm just so thankful for this experience, I hope someone else benefits from this as well. And, I will definitely be going back if I have another baby. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, do it and don't think twice about it! You will not be disappointed!
