Dr. Dolhun has been my primary care physician for about 15 years and I have always been impressed by his bedside manner. He is an attentive listener and shows genuine empathy towards me as a patient. He truly makes you feel heard and understood, which is a rare quality in a doctor. On top of that, Dr. Dolhun isn't some stodgy doctor who's fixed in his ways. The Dolhun Clinic is truly a 21st century medical office. Have a follow-up question on something you talked about? Send a text. Want to explain something in greater detail before you show up? Send an email. Have an emergency question? Just call, someone will help. Want your doctor to consider your genetic profile and individualize your care? Yup, he's got that covered. Want your doctor hip to the latest technologies and tools to optimize your healthspan? Yeah, that too. I have had a consistently positive experience with Dr. Dolhun and the Dolhun Clinic. They are professional, caring, and always willing to go above and beyond to ensure the best possible care. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a primary care physician. read more

Finding a doctor like Dr. Eduardo Dolhun feels like a genuine stroke of luck. As someone who's 65, dealing with the range of conditions common to men my age, and constantly traveling internationally for work, I needed more than a doctor who just reacts to problems -- I needed a partner in my health. That's exactly what he is. He's been thoughtful about how my travel schedule affects my body, from medications to sleep and time zone recovery, while staying on top of everything else going on with my health. He also has a real talent for getting patients in front of the right specialists -- not just making a referral, but actually following through. He's what I'd call an old-fashioned country doctor practicing in San Francisco: present, personal, proactive. If you want a physician who truly knows you, Dr. Dolhun is it. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Dolhun's for 6 years (left because of a move). My health situation is weird and complex, and he helped with some strange requests. As an example: Because my condition has no cure, but there's constant research happening about it, I read a study about enteroviruses where patients required a sort of obscure blood test. I asked for Dr. Dolhun's help in getting it, and he figured out a way to get it done. I did in fact have some of the weird enteroviruses, and as such found a treatment that gave me a health boost (still not a cure but hey I'll take what I can get). read more

I've known and seen Dr. Eduardo Dolhun for 15+ Years. I appreciate him for many reasons but the #1 reason is that he helps me proactively stay healthy so I can live the active life I've always enjoyed. He's taken the time to get to know me & understand my needs, spends however much time is needed when I see him and has earned my trust. I've also learned that he's connected to the top specialists in most fields and have personally benefited from those connections when I needed it. I highly recommend meeting him! Tom read more

I have been a patient with Dr Dohlun going on 20 years. I have a very complex case with dual diagnosises. I have still never met a doctor who is more intelligent, kind, compassionate and understanding. He really cares and wants to make sure he addressed all of your issues and you leave heard and understood. You will not find a more caring and compassionate doctor. I feel safe and in good hands!! read more

I've seen dozens of doctors now for a variety of concerns and say with confidence that Dr. Dolhun is singular in his empathy and attentiveness. He does absolutely whatever it takes to help you. All the arcane, antiquated bullshit you experience with US healthcare, you will not experience here. Dr. Dolhun only doctor that makes you feel like you're his friend. read more

Dr. Dolhun has been my doctor for 6years now almost 7! He is the only physician, I trust since I moved to San Francisco from Boston. He is professional, while also being approachable. I'm never afraid to come to him directly with any health concerns, I have. Dr. Dolhun always takes his time. During the pandemic, I was sick and he went out of his way by delivering my prescription. Dr. Dolhun has an extensive network of doctors and continues to connect me with the top Specialists. I highly recommend Dr. Dolhun. read more

Dr. Dolhun has been my primary doctor for over ten years now. He has an incredibly kind and empathetic bedside manner that makes you feel like he truly cares about you. I have reached out to Dr. Dolhun countless times via email, and he responds quickly and with real help. During times of covid this level of care has made a big difference for my family and me. He is a doctor who is very smart and treats the symptoms, not the "tests". He is also a doctor who spend his personal vacations in disaster or war-torn places, caring for people who have no one to care for them. I think this is how his company, Drip Drop, came to be. Drip Drop is a oral liquid i.v. that hydrates quickly. He has an executive physical similar to what one might find at Mayo or Stanford which is super helpful if you're busy and like to get all your tests done over a few days. There really are no words to describe how amazing Dr. Dolhun is as a doctor and a human being. This review doesn't even cover the full of it. He is incredible and this world and I are lucky to have him in it. read more

Dr Eduardo Dolhun has been my primary care physician for 10+ years. Personalized service, including availability, has been remarkable. The clinic staff has always been friendly and professional. I HIGHLY recommend him. NOTE: Dolhun is a CONCIERGE DOCTOR. He works on a monthly payment system. I LUV this. Very clear managed costs/care. For anyone complaining, not sure why. All is negotiable. He works with all income levels. Or better, why do you think he has so many 5 stars? none of us have to write reviews here... read more

Dr. Dolhun literally changed the trajectory first of my health and then my life. He takes a very holistic, pragmatic and smart approach to primary care. He is amazing. It is hard to even imagine where I would be without his influence and care. I could list so many stories. He treats the physical and the psychological. He helped me to sleep better and live a healthier lifestyle. Both have had so many follow on positive impacts. One time I was sick in Spain. Once I got in touch with him, he insisted that I go to the hospital. From there he texted with the doctors and translated for me. He is beyond amazing. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is actively engaged in their own health and wellness. read more

Dr. Dolhun has been my physician for going on 10 years. He is by far the best physician I have ever seen. His office is modern and immaculate, with well trained staff, and he is extremely responsive, attentive and available for any issue or need. You will not find a better person or primary care physician than Dr. Dolhun. read more

Dr. Dolhun's service is unlike anything I've ever experienced before. I'm an athlete who doesn't visit a doctor's office unless it's for an annual checkup but five years ago, my life and health drastically changed. I experienced gastrointestinal problems, which resulted in endless amounts of prescription drugs, being passed off to different doctors and waiting months to see any kind of specialist. A friend knew what I was dealing with and gave me the gift of referring me to Dr. Dolhun. His attentiveness, care and methodology helped me immensely and continues to help me today. He educates me on the "why" for any treatment and always thinks outside of the box for what would best serve my health. I've worked with Dr. Dolhun for four years now and believe it or not, no longer take medications. When something felt "off" or worse, his timely correspondence and concierge care really made the difference. This past summer, I was able to complete a half iron man and would've have been able to so if I hadn't received that recommendation so many years ago. Dr. Dolhun redefines the new paradigm of how a doctor really cares and if he can change my life, I'm sure he can change yours. read more

I have a good Insurance PPO plan but could not find a single physician through my insurance that even come close to him. He is an exceptional doctor and even a better human being. He is always available when I need his assistance and advice. I believe my search for a primary care physician ends with him. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a quality top-notch physician who wants you to keep you fit and healthy. read more

Dr. Dolhun is the epitome of considerate and compassionate medical care. He is both an active listener and extremely intelligent -- it is clear that he stays up to date with the latest in medical research. I cannot recommend Dr. Dolhun enough; he is truly the best family medicine doctor in San Francisco, if not the whole country. read more

I'm so lucky I found Dr. Dolhun through my sister. I've never had a doctor be so responsive and actually take such an interest in my health. I always feel so much better after talking with him. I have texted him and gotten a call back within one minute. He even called me back immediately while he was in the middle of preparing for a trip to take medical supplies to Ukraine. He is so quick to respond no matter what the issue. He is truly a gem. read more

Dr. Dolhun has been my doctor over the past year and he's very knowledgable, detailed and caring. For anyone who is particularly interested in proactive medicine or has specific on-going health issues, he will be a great asset as a primary. He also knows the best specialists and can make good recommendations on follow-ups. He's genuinely a caring and good person and its been so refreshing having a doctor who can be attentive to his patients. He's not only a great doctor but also involved in my causes and invests time in making the community better. read more

I've been a patient of Dr Dolhun for almost 7 years. When he says 24/7/365, he means it seriously. He has never disappointed me, regardless of the situations. He is a great doctor in terms of knowledge and professional practice. He is genuinely a good person. You'll know what I mean at the very second you meet him. And I'm confident that you may agree with me after no matter how long you have spent with him. The consistency in both professional and personal sides is time tested for the last 7 years. Whether I need professional care or a trustworthy person to make me calm when I was frightened by my body, he's the only person that came up to my mind. read more

I usually NEVER write reviews, but I just HAD TO after my most recent visit with Dr. Dolhun. What can I say about Dr Dolhun? The best Doctor I've ever had/have/will have! His ability to diagnose any health issue is prodigy-level. He's solved all of my problems that OTHER doctors could not figure out. I've seen 2-3 doctors before I went to Dr. Dolhun, none of them could help, and after 1 visit with Dr. Dolhun, he prescribed exactly what I needed! Since then I have been him patient. read more

Dr Eduardo Dolhun has been my doctor for almost a decade. He is an excellent diagnostician and physician.  I am a neuroscientist ( PhD) with a complex, challenging health disorder.  Dr Dolhun is well-informed and knowledgeable about cutting-edge science and medicine. He is also a Mayo-trained international epidemic expert, so his medical dispatches throughout the Covid epidemic were vital to my family and friends. Finally he is a truly wonderful human being; he is kind and compassionate to his patients, and he devotes time to treating epidemics around the world. He was even awarded the 2017 Humanitarian Award by the Mayo Clinic. I have great respect and gratitude for Dr Dolhun's care. He is the perfect doctor for me! read more

Eduardo is a great doctor, humanitarian, entrepreneur, mentor and artist. Each of those talents translate well to managing my health and wellness. I love the 'old school' marker board chats where my health is monitored and maintained through the arc of my lifespan graph. My health will be managed to age 90 and my wife's to 95. We are committed to Eduardo for that duration. Dohlun Clinic's modest spaces are expertly conceived and well executed to create calmness and serenity. Eduardo's touches are found in his own oil painting wall art and the ever so thoughtful arrangement of bottled water. I appreciate a practitioner who is passionate about his work and carries a small black medical bag on his stationery and literally to his house bound patients. read more

I have known Dr. Dolhun for 12 years, and feel compelled to write a review, as he has been the utmost caring and smart doctor through the years to me and my children. His skills as a physician are keen, and unlike any other doctor I have been to. I trust him implicitly with my family's health. I was suffering from Crohn's and didn't realize it. He really listened to me, and through thorough exams and dialogue about my symptoms, he was able to guide me with excellent referrals and advice to a path of recovery. I am now very stable, and am grateful for his care. Thank you Dr. Dolhun! read more

In early 2021, I was referred to Dr. D by another physician. I was scheduled for a major surgery and unbeknownst to me, I had some pre-existing health issues. I had been with One Medical and equivalents -- for a few years-- and these issues were either undetected or I was led to believe they didn't warrant too much attention. The surgeon said they were serious enough, she would postpone the surgery until they were addressed. She said seeing Dr. D was an absolute must. (Shoutout to Dr. Carolyn Chang, see review). I am 61 years old, have seen a few docs in my time, and Dr. D was a first time experience for me. I have never been so thoroughly listened to, examined or treated. I found myself sharing highly personal things (uncharacteristic of me). He has that way about him -- you are the single most important entity on the planet in that moment with him. Flash forward to now: after the Feb 2021 surgery, my health literally fell apart -- starting with spinal fusion surgery in late March 2021 (huge shoutout to Golden Gate Spine and Dr. Kim -- see reviews). A 9 time marathoner, snowboarder, cyclist, etc... never had health issues -- and now? My health is falling apart. I am going back to Dr. D and officiating becoming his patient. I've been through the ringer with the One Medicals of the world-- which is part of the reason I have issues that never should have progressed. I need a Dr. who actually gives a damn, a Dr who will be my partner in managing my health. As corny as it may sound, I need a Dr who cares. And that's what 3 different physicians told me about him, among other high praises -- he cares -- he actually really deeply cares. I know people struggle with the prices -- but after what I"ve been through... I"m done with medical care as I knew it. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Dolhun since 2007 or earlier and his professionalism, mindfulness and brilliance still astounds me. Initially, I went to see Dr. Dolhun for routine visits, although being physically fit and very healthy I doubted that I really needed a concierge doctor, but he was just so incredibly balanced, ethical and had an epistemophilic personality that I found myself a loyal patient. During 2014-2015, I unexpectedly suffered from devastating health issues which affected my professional and personal life. Dr. Dolhun never skipped a beat, he was by my side through Stanford Medical , Mayo clinic and a host of other specialists and doctors all of whom have praised him for his direction, early intervention and support. 2022- Dr. Dolhun continues to provide care not just to a happier healthier me, but to the private, public and homeless population of the world, through Doctors without borders, Dolhun clinic, Drip Drop, Fog( film) and many other avenues. Thank you, not just for my life but for the lives of many. Dr. Markus Watson read more

Excellent doctor that is really attentive, proactive about holistic health and strong at driving diagnoses.

Dr. Dolhun has been my primary care doctor for about 6 years. When I came to his office with reams of other doctors' notes and tests after being tossed around the medical system as a pain, he didn't bat an eye. He took so much care to listen an carefully consider my situation. It was so relieving to be believed and not discarded as an hysterical woman. In the 6 years since, Dr. Dolhun has ushered me back to health and always been incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and careful with my treatment. Now that we've been through multiple pneumonias and covid, I have no doubt Dr. Dolhun is the best doctor around. Thank you, Dr Dolhun. Can I give more than 5 stars? read more

I am new to the city and came down with a pretty bad cold.... :/ I yelped and came across Dr. Dolhun's page. I'm always nervous about visiting dr's, but he set the tone as soon as I made my first call. He was quick to answer and made an appointment for me that day. Parking...street or in building-$2.00 every 20minutes. Office...the front desk greeted me as soon as I walked in, took my information and I only waited a few minutes until the Dr. was ready to see me. Dr. Dolhun is awesome, very knowledgeable and is easy to talk to. He even sent me a checkup message the next day. Overally I'm feeling better & happy I went to visit him. Definitely will be back for future check-ups or urgent issues. read more

As I grow older, I've come to appreciate the difference between the good and the great. A Galaxy is a good smartphone; an iPhone is a great smartphone. A Lexus is a good car; a Porsche is a great car. Crate and Barrel is a good home furnishings store; Williams-Sonoma is a great home furnishings store. My opinion is: life is short -- so who has time for anything but the best? Dr. Dolhun embodies the highest standard of quality in medicine. If quality matters to you, you will not find a better doctor in San Francisco. read more

Dr. Pena-Dolhun is very thorough and thoughtful. I still follow his recommendations and find that on the the lists of family care physicians in the City, he is among the best. Yet, keep in mind that like all doctors and medical centers these days, you need to find out in advance if your health care provider will cover his fees. Patients must pay for each visit and sign an agreement of payment before scheduling an appointment. At my last appointment with Dr. Pena-Dolhun his office was billing insurance as a non-subscriber. That means that you the patient must pay out of network rates. Most health insurance carriers like Blue Shield will not give patients the best rate if they select a doctor outside of their subscriber network. Patients should be able to go to the doctor of their choice. Yet unfortunately as it is now, even the PPO level of health insurance coverage puts limits on what they cover and discourage patients from going to a doctor out of their network. This is why Dr. Pena-Dolhun's office told me about Health Savings Account Plans. HSA's are becoming more common now and I hope the idea improves, especially as more and more people are paying for health services out of pocket these days. To learn more about HSA's contact your health insurance carrier. So far I think US Bank is the best bank around that knows what HSA's are all about. See web link for more info: https://www.usbank.com/cgi_w/cfm/personal/products_and_services/savings/hsa_pers_faq.cfm I am hoping that once health care reform is established and the nation gets a better health care system, more doctors like Dr. Pena-Dolhun will be available as primary care physicians. Dr. Pena-Dolhun is among the best. Yet finding a primary care physician is not easy, especially those like Dr. Pena-Dolhun that pay attention to details and really want the best for each patient. See web site for details: http://dolhunclinic.com/us/physicians/eduardo-pena-dolhun-md/background read more

I spoke with Dr. Dolhun directly & told him I was in terrible pain, had been for weeks, and urgently needed medical attention. He asked if I was aware that his was a "concierge" practice, i.e., he was very expensive & didn't accept insurance. He had no explanation when I asked why he would deliberately put himself beyond what most people could afford. He just kept defensively saying "I'm sorry". You should be, Dr. Dolhun. You should be ashamed of yourself. Are the large sums of money doctors already make not enough for you? read more

My previous experience with the medical system was probably like yours- sit in a waiting room for ages filled with sick people (great place to pick up a new ailment) for a Dr that was always late and when I finally made it in to the exam room I would sit around for another exorbitant amount of time for the Dr to come in and then it would be 5 minute exam conveying information that already had found on webmd. Dr Dolhun is different. I've been blown away by level of service, communication and thoughtfulness. I appreciate the detailed yet understandable explanations he provides and it's incredibly cool that he follows up to see how your'e doing. Finally, I love the fact that you can email him a question and he'll get back to you without requiring you to come in for a visit. It's just a bummer that more Dr's don't adopt a similar approach to healthcare. read more

I've always hated going for a visit to the doctor because the experience is almost universally awful. First you have to wait in an uncomfortable waiting room for 30 minutes past your appointment time if you're lucky, an hour if you're not. Then you're put into an exam room, and told that the doctor will be right with you, but you end up waiting another 20 or 30 minutes. Then a nurse comes in to check vitals and leaves you alone again. Finally, you get to see the doctor for 2 minutes who does a hasty job at everything, never looks you in the eye, and doesn't bother to explain what's wrong with you because he figures you won't understand. As a patient of Dr. Dolhun's, I'm pleased to report that my experience couldn't be farther from the above description. Appointments start on time, I'm never left alone, and Dr. Dolhun spends quality time (an hour and a half with me on my first visit) with his patients. He's respectful, empathetic, reassuring, and funny -- overall a delight to be around. He takes very great care to explain his diognoses and presents you with several options on how to address them. He draws blood and administers shots himself. He calls you to review test results and to answer questions. He e-mails with his patients. Dr. Dolhun's practice is a completely innovative and amazing approach to patient care. I'm beyond thrilled to have found him. read more

Dr. Dolhun has been an exceptional Doctor over many years, and always finds the time to help me through whatever issues or needs I might have. He also has a great team in the office, very kind and supportive. Can't thank him enough for keeping me healthy! read more

Dr. Dolhun is the best! I got the flu from my friend and needed to be seen, but couldn't get in with my normal doctor. My parents recommended I give him a call and his great assistant got me in that same afternoon (thank you andrew!) so i went home feeling much better. He's a little pricey because he doesn't work with insurance, but if you need quick, quality care, I cannot recommend a better doctor! read more

Dr. Dolhun is the best doctor you'll ever encounter. He's compassionate, a great listener, incredibly responsive (calls back within the hour), brilliant (he worked at the Mayo Clinic and often collaborates with his colleagues there). He's also an committed member of Doctors Without Borders and often is found treating patients during disasters such as Haiti, and he brings that same compassion to his patients locally. Just when we thought the medical profession couldn't be saved, we met Dr. Dolhun and he has exceeded our high expectations. For example, our son is extremely afraid of needles and so Dr Dolhun came to our house to draw his blood so he could be in the comfort his own room. Patients don't receive this kind of caring service since Marcus Welby! Every time we visit him with a problem, he proactively calls to follow up to ensure all is well. After seeing multiple doctors over the course of two years, Dr. Dolhun diagnosed a debilitating condition I had in my first office visit. He has become a part of our family. We can't say enough about Dr. Dolhun and his team. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Dolhun for many years. He is an amazing clinician that really knows how to treat your medical issue and really cares about you as a human being. He is calm and compassionate and truly present during your visit. I love how he is also available via phone, text, and email. His care is unparalleled and I can't imagine going to anyone else. At each visit he is very thorough and really wants to know what is going on with you. Not only is his care exceptional, but his office staff also go above and beyond. And it's difficult to find any office where the staff are as dedicated and sincere as well. I credit that to Dr. Dolhun's demeanor and approach. read more

Dr. Dolhun has been my primary care physician for 7 years. He is the most patient, kind, attentive, and engaging doctor. I appreciate his flexibility and holistic approach to medicine as he evaluates all aspects of wellness, beyond physical health. It is clear he genuinely cares about his patients' wellbeing and does everything in his power to ensure they receive the care they need. Whether that means going into the clinic early to meet, literally walking me down the hall to get an appointment with a knee specialist, or consulting over the phone while I was living in another state - he is absolutely the best! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Dolhun for years as my primary care physician, and was always extremely satisfied with the care he provides. Annual physicals were always very thorough and never felt rushed. Dr. Dolhun was always very responsive via email if I had any questions. And I was always able to get seen quickly if anything urgent came up. He's out of network for all insurers, but I readily paid out of pocket for his services because it was worth it to get such great care. I called today to schedule my annual physical and learned that as of Jan 1 2017 the office has switched to a membership-only model. There are two tiers, with the lower cost tier starting at $6,000 per year. When paying per visit, I was only spending an average of $1,000 - $1,500 per year. I just don't need to see the doctor often enough for membership to make sense for me. I understand that Dr. Dolhun has a business to run, and needs to make these types of decisions to maintain the viability of his practice, but it's still incredibly disappointing to have to find a new provider. A postcard or a letter to existing patients before the switch would have been a nice, so I would have known to start looking for a new doctor several months ago. If I had the extra disposable income, or had more frequent medical needs, I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Dr. Dolhun. It's unfortunate that only the very wealthy can now afford the level of care he provides, which is the standard that all doctors should be measured against. read more

I am extremely satisfied with Dr. Dolhun. He is thorough, he is proactive, and extremely helpful. Doing blood tests in the office is a treat! One more thing: he is a pleasure to get along with and his office staff is a delight! read more

I'd say this is place can make even the uncomfortable doctors visits pleasant and stress free. The office is no less clean and orderly than a surgical theater. The lobby is comfortable. Only made better with the addition of the assistance provided by the wonderful people behind the counter. As for the doctor. Dr.Dolhun is kind, comfortable, knowledgeable, skilled, and resourceful. He has yet to answer any questions of mine that left me unsatisfied. I believe and standby everything you read today. read more

I am so grateful for the foundation of safety and support the Dolhun Clinic provides me and my family. Having immediate and direct access to Dr. Dolhun's expertise and impressive network is a gift. No matter the issue, he is available at a moments notice. I trust his thorough assessments and he always recommends the best of the best specialists. If everyone had access to the quality of patient care and support he provides, the world would breath more easy just as I do. read more
