I've worked in medical offices as an administrator, and know how difficult it is to provide…read morepatient, personalized care when you're tied to a tight appointment schedule, but Dr. Lee and his staff have given my husband and me attentive and thoughtful care for the past 5 years. Dr. Lee always thoroughly reads through our charts, never makes us feel rushed, and even when we come in with "not a whole lot to report", he asks relevant lifestyle questions to assure that there's nothing else he might do to assist us in preventative care or improved overall health. He always calls us to give us test results-- the mundane and the newsworthy. Dr. Lee clearly takes pride in caring for his patience and considers internal medicine as a serious discipline which much be constantly studied and contemplated. He is the physician you want on your team if a serious diagnosis is to be tackled and treatment options considered. He has a significant senior population of patients but I love that as a patient in middle-age, he discusses preventative care with me to maintain my good health. Despite being out of the area, we continue to return him for our annual exams.

My old physician retired so I found Dr. Damon Lee in Daly City, CA, and had scheduled my first…read morevisit. I asked Datalink ITS (record keeper company) to send my complete medical history to his office. The form I filled out to authorize the release asked me for Dr. Damon Lee's office address and fax #. The form did not specify how they will deliver my records. I tried to get Dr. Lee's office email but the receptionist roared, "We don't have an email here!" then hang up. Nevertheless, they ended up faxing a 150 page to his office. His office called me hysterical about the whole thing yelling at me to make it stop. Frantically, I called Datalink and left a message, and also emailed them. Moreover, Dr. Damon Lee's office called me back and continuously yelled at me because Datalink could not stop the fax. I was also informed after being scolded that because of this, Dr. Damon Lee is refusing to see me. I was stunned and distressed with their decision not to see me because of this error made by a third party. I explained that this should not affect their decision to see a patient. I reported this incident to the Medical Board of California because I believe a physician should not refuse to see patients for inconsequential incidents such as this. The lady at the front desk is extremely vicious (I am using a nice word here). I can't even express in words how she screamed at me and didn't even let me speak. I managed to ask her though if she had seen the reviews about her on yelp and she simply said she didn't care and slammed the phone on me!

At my first appointment with Dr. Sharlip, I saw that he was a caring doctor. He took the time to explain the results from my blood diagnostics and the next step to be taken to ensure the diagnostic result was negative. He answered my questions and reassured me in the process that he is taking for me. Over the course of the next five months, Dr. Sharlip prescribed a 4K test and then a MRI, where the results were equivocal. He then prescribed and performed a fusion biopsy procedure on July 2nd. He said due to the upcoming holiday, the results would not come back until the following Monday. The doctor calls me the evening of the next day and wanted to tell me the good news that the results came back early and were negative so that I wouldn't worry over the holiday and weekend. I am fortunate to have been under Dr. Sharlip's care during this time. He showed the ultimate care of his patient as evidenced from his calls to me in the early evening and even on Saturday. I feel reassured that I will be under Dr. Sharlip's bi-annual care.

5 years later, time for another colonoscopy!…read more This pre-colonoscopy visit went very well. For this visit I also met with Liz, a Nurse Practitioner who went through a very thorough discussion about my digestive situation. Dr. Tsuchiyose came in afterward and we discussed things a bit further, as well as moving forward with the procedure. The actual colonoscopy didn't happen here; it took place at the SOAR Surgery Center next-door to The Westin San Francisco Airport hotel. I wouldn't normally say I look forward to colonoscopies, but Dr. Tsuchiyose makes things a LOT easier for me!

I was referred to Dr. Tsuchiyose by my primary care provider when I told said PCP about my GI…read moresymptoms. For several years, I had been dealing with irritable bowel syndrome (alternating constipation and diarrhea), constant bloating (severe enough to make me look 6 months pregnant, even on an empty stomach), gas pains, and abdominal discomfort. In addition, I was noticing unintentional weight gain that I couldn't lose despite diet and exercise, worsening anxiety and brain fog, chronic fatigue, and irregular sleep. Prior to seeing Dr. T, I had visited both a functional medicine doctor and gasteroenterologist at Duke University Hospital; however, none of the interventions I was prescribed, including dietary changes, conventional antibiotics, and probiotics, led to even the slightest improvement in my symptoms. Consequently, I had high hopes that Dr. T could offer more effective treatments, as well as figure out what exactly was causing my GI symptoms. As a new patient, I felt that Dr. T's staff was difficult to work with, because it took a while to sort out insurance coverage and schedule my initial appointment. However, my consultation and subsequent follow-up appointments with Dr. T turned out to be quite fruitful. As it turned out, Dr. T diagnosed me with SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), leaky gut, and gastritis, all of which were most likely contributing to the GI symptoms I was struggling to control for years. Based on previous lab tests and prior interventions I had tried at Duke, Dr. T placed me on a step-by-step approach to help heal my GI tract. At first, I was prescribed supplements to treat my SIBO. Next, I was placed on another regimen to heal my leaky gut. In between appointments, Dr. T also ordered a repeat endoscopy, the purpose of which was to assess my stomach function and obtain tissue biopsies. Then, based on the endoscopy results, he recommended additional medications to strengthen my stomach and treat my gastritis. Lastly, he recommended an easy-to-digest diet to follow while on his healing protocol. From my initial appointment with Dr. T (back in September 2021) up until now, I have felt significant improvements in my gut health. Though I hesitate to say I am 100% healed, granted I still experience a couple of flare-ups throughout the month, I have noticed much less bloating, improved digestion after my meals, better tolerance of common food triggers (namely gluten), and more regular bowel movement patterns. Moreover, I slept better, felt less anxious, and even lost a couple of the pounds I had gained. I'm very fortunate to have been one of Dr. T's patients. It's evident that Dr. T puts a lot of care and attention to treating his clients, though a couple of criticisms I have are: *the supplements he prescribed me really added up over time. Given that I had to take them over the course of several months, buying enough to last me the duration of the treatment ended up being pretty expensive. *because Dr. T sees many other patients, I noticed that he often forgot which treatment regimens I completed vs. did not complete. This meant that during my follow-up appointments, I had to remind him of the supplements he had prescribed me at my last follow-up. All in all, I highly recommend Dr. T, especially for those struggling with digestive issues like SIBO.

I've been going to Dr. Hwang for about three years now. I have to say he is the best Internest I…read morehave ever had. He is kind and empathetic and immediately puts you at ease. You can usually get a pretty fast appointment. He also gives you as much time as you need. He's one of the few physicians I've encountered who's not an a clock. He's also incredibly conscientious and attentive. I had some anomolous blood test results a year ago. The cause was not immediately apparent. But he worked through the differential diagnoses and referred me to an world-class hematologist, who concluded that the anomolies were benign. Huge relief. When he makes referrals, the docs are invariably tops in their fields. And best of all, he responds to email. Heaven! His office staff is generally attentive and efficient. They are on a very good EMR system that has an excellent patient interface (myhealthonline). But it still has limitations in terms of sharing records with other providers, referrals to out-of-network docs, etc. Where that happens, you're back to faxing things back and forth which drives me crazy. Who has a fax machine anymore? It's like asking patients to use carbon paper and white-out. Net net, Hwang is tops. I'm frankly surprised he's still taking new patients. I'd have assumed he'd be full up by now.

My husband had a first-time visit with Dr. David Vaughan at Feeney-Vaughan in Daly City recently…read more We do not plan to see this doctor again. He was very abrupt, didn't even bother to introduce himself and acted like he couldn't be bothered to talk to us. The whole appointment had to have been about five whole minutes -- for a new patient exam! WTF? We were both really offended by his beside manner. He didn't even introduce himself. He was just like, "So what are you here for?" Well, excuse us for taking up your time! We explained when we scheduled the appointment that my husband is a new patient, needs a general physical and we'd just like to establish a relationship with a primary care doctor. Obviously the front desk hadn't communicated that to the doctor before he came in to meet with us! The guy had the warmth and personality of a block of ice. For a first time patient, he also didn't ask a whole lot of questions that you think would be relevant to assess someone's health! He was supposed to give my husband a physical, but barely did anything beyond check his blood pressure and order some blood tests -- several of which we had to specifically ask for. He kept asking us what we wanted...um, we want you to do your job and be our doctor! I personally like a doctor that asks relevant questions about diet, lifestyle, stress factors, etc., and he totally dropped the ball on that one. Ultimately, his lack of personality or caring attitude really turned both of us off. Beyond that, we're not even sure how good of a doctor he is because he didn't ask some fairly important, standard questions you would ask a new patient. We will continue to search for a better doctor. This guy just didn't give us a sense of confidence that we would be in good hands.

This review in no way reflects on Dr. Hoddinott's medical skills…read more My story: I had a sore throat and went to Yelp to see if people had good experience with local physicians. As Dr. Hoddinott had good reviews, I gave her office a call telling them that both my wife and I (40ish,very healthy, great insurance) are looking for a new doctor. I was told by the receptionist (this was 16 days ago) that the doctor would review our request and I would hear back from them the next day. I didn't. So I call back and another person tells me that "it can take several days for the doctor to make a determination about a new patient. She has lots of things on her desk". At this point I already have a bad feeling about the doctor and her staff if it takes them several days to get back to a new patient. But I thought I would perhaps get a call after a week. Nope.. Two Weeks? Uh-uh. It's not two weeks plus and no call-back. The doctor might be wonderful with patients. Unfortunately, for me the process of getting in to see her was a major turnoff. Doctor Hoddinott, work with your staff on a much better process for people who WANT to give you business. I am still looking for that elusive general physician!

She remembered things from our last appointment, asked relevant questions, and seemed to really care.
