I selected…read moreDr. Yee because 1) he was interested in my total well being as well as my eye care and 2) he provided a degree of personalized attention and follow up lacking in the others' "factory" approach. As a diabetic, I was concerned about the impact of my condition on my surgery. The other two opthamologists noted that "lens are inert and will not be affected by your condition." Only Dr. Yee noted that the matter surrounding the lens was not inert...and that I should get my diabetes under better control to maximize post surgery results. I postponed surgery, improved my control and, as a result, have had very satisfactory results! Dr. Yee's interest in the total patient, his very clear discussions of approaches and options and his excellent, personal follow-up are the mark of an extraordinary surgeon.

What a delight he is. Great bedside manner, without rush or leaving me with the feeling (as so many MDs do) that he had to get to the next patient.

I feel confident in his care and, quite honestly, look forward to seeing him again at my follow-up visit and subsequent overall physical exam.

I spent several hours looking through available primary care physicians in the Brown and Toland…read moregroup, and on Yelp, for a doctor for my hubby. I am one of those people who is very picky about docs, and finding a doctor who truly comes across like they are patient, and are listening, is really important to me. Thanks so much to all the Yelpers who took the time to praise Dr. Fletcher. It was worth it for me to do all that research here on Yelp (so, thanks to Yelp, as well!). You would not believe how many doctors either had NO ratings, or they had low ratings, either because the doctor didn't have good bedside manner, OR because the staff was rude or disorganized. But not the case with Dr. Fletcher's office! I was overjoyed to find out that an appointment had just opened up the next day, so I booked it right away. As the reviews indicated here on Yelp, Dr. Fletcher's bedside manner is incredible. Oh and his staff was awesome too, very polite and accomodating, organized, explained everything well. I worked in a doctor's office once, over 20 years ago, and know it is a HARD job. So kudos to these ladies for keeping things running so smoothly! We had an appt. booked with a very young, female primary care physician a few days prior, but my husband cancelled that appt. because he really wanted someone who was more experienced. Several times, during the appointment with Dr. Fletcher, I kept thinking about what a huge difference there would have been, between the two primary care physicians. I am guessing the other doc (who was a young woman focused more on pediatrics... I had only booked her because she had several slots available) would have just taken a quick look at him and referred him to a specialist. No offense to her, she just didn't have the years behind her! But Dr. Fletcher had decades of experience and knowledge to draw from, and really took his time with my husband, asking many details. Instead of sending him to a specialist, he was able to give my hubby his own recommendations, prescriptions, etc.. I was very impressed. One thing I want to point out about going to this office... be careful when using a GPS, especially if you do not live in the city. When I saw 3838 California on the map, I assumed it must be the California Pacific Medical Center, where my brother had his baby. I should have just skpped the GPS, but nooo. And for some reason my GPS (the one on my phone: an Android MyTouch Q) told me to drive straight past it!! It had us going all the way down to the 4700 block of California, insisting the doctor's office was in a residential area?!? It did not help matters that we were already late due to an accident on 101, so I really appreciate Dr. Fletcher's (and the staff's) patience, and the fact that Dr. Fletcher didn't rush my husband through his appointment. Thank you again Dr. Fletcher and your great staff, for all that you do. My husband actually said to me, as soon as his appt. was over: "I like him." And coming from my husband, who is just about as picky and sensitive as I am... that is saying a lot.

I am extremely reluctant to write a negative review of Dr. Werschky, but I feel I need to. I have…read moreseen him three or four times over the past several years for several acute illnesses, which he always treated competently. Dr. Werschky's bedside manner is great--his demeanor and banter are relaxing and comforting, and he asks a lot of targeted questions. As John W. noted, the office facilities and equipment are dated, but I don't consider cutting edge environs a requisite for solid general practice medicine. Dr. Werschky's receptionist, though curt, is very nice once you break the ice. The huge, glaring problem I encountered, however, was as follows: My wife and I have a newborn. On advice from our (stellar) pediatrician, Dr. Martin Ernster of Golden Gate Pediatrics, I decided to get a TDaP (tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis) vaccine booster, as my last round of immunizations had been well over ten years ago. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Werschky (finally reaching the office after leaving three unreturned messages) for the vaccine. When I arrived, Dr. Werschky gave me the TD (not the TDaP) vaccine, instructing me to get the acellular pertussis (the "aP") vaccine on its own from a separate provider. He broadly suggested I call "a travel clinic" to find the pertussis vaccine. I called all of the travel clinics I could find, plus the Safeway pharmacy--none had the pertussis-only vaccine. I called Dr. Werschky's office back and through his assistant he told me to "just go and get the TDaP" from Safeway. Concerned about potential side-effects of over-vaccinating, I called the San Francisco department of health and spoke to their director of medicine. He advised me that, given the not insignificant potential for a serious side-effect of too much tetanus vaccine given at too short an interval, I should not get a TDaP vaccine on top of the TD vaccine Dr. Werschky had already given. Not knowing that the stand-alone pertussis vaccine no longer existed might have been excusable--no one can keep up with every change in an industry. Advising me to get the TDaP vaccine on top of the TD vaccine without first researching and notifying me of the potential negative effects of doing so directly endangered my well-being. Now, instead of side-effects, I just have no pertussis immunity, which puts my baby's health at risk. This degree of carelessness in a physician is shameful.
