I first started seeing Dr. Leib with high blood pressure, cholesterol and BMI. Over the course of time, with his care, my blood pressure, cholesterol and weight have been drastically improved. Dr. Leib takes the time to learn about his patients and use his expertise to support patient health. His medical advice is consistent with his understanding of the patient, and it's never about "just take a pill and it will all be better". Recently, my wife and I were experienced a significant health incident. We both truly appreciate the time and care he provided us following the accident. It's rare that a doctor takes the time with patients to do as thorough an examination as he did. Without hesitation, I believe that Dr. Leib is outstanding; his focus on complete health and quality of life has profoundly impacted my overall health and wellness. Dr. Leib's office is unique, and reflects his attention to detail. He is now located in an old church that he and his wife converted into their office. Both the office and support team are awesome. It's clear to his patients that the office is run with the same attention as his patients. Vivian, Susan and Kathy are each extremely positive and patient as they work with you--whether is't scheduling, reminders, referrals or billing.

This lead to going to a specialist at Stanford to have it removed. Thankful that I was listened to and taken seriously and caught it. Grateful for Dr. Leib and his instinct to get an ultrasound.

She follows up and explains options. She's generous with her time. I highly recommend Dr Rachel and her integrative health approach.

Having been a chiropractor for over 20 years, I know about non-pharmaceutical-driven healthcare…read more The integrative medicine practiced by Rachel Abrams MD is the future of healthcare, and she is a shining star in that discipline. Rachel excels at determining exactly which lab tests to order, how to interpret them, and then how to prescribe the best supplements to correct the problem. She is especially adept at resolving hormonal issues and cholesterol problems, but can handle any medical problem, and especially preventative care. However, she is also there with a hug at the right time when needed. She is brilliant, caring, and very kind-hearted, and this comes through in her holistic approach. Rachel really helped me and gave me my quality of life back. She listens and takes the time to get to the real root of the problem. I truly trust her and her body of knowledge and can't I imagine not receiving this kind of healthcare. I am super happy with the high-quality healthcare I am getting from Rachel. The only downside to Rachel's practice is that her office does not bill insurance plans and she is not a preferred provider on PPO plans and is not on any HMO plans, so she is out of network. However, this is understandable given that dealing with insurance companies is an unpleasant, full-time job. Therefore, her services are expensive, but are worth it, so overall it's a good value. When it comes to your health, it's really worth it. If you just want to take a pill for the rest of your life and are OK with all of the possible side effects, then integrative medicine is probably not for you. However, if you want to be able to spend quality time with your doctor and be able to talk to and work with your doctor to get to the root of the problem and solve it, and not just mask the symptoms, then Rachel is who you want to see for your healthcare.

I started going to Dr. Dave in 1996. I've always valued him as my doctor and appreciate his way of…read morelooking at the whole picture... everything going on with me medically. I also appreciate that he is willing to consider and investigate approaches that are more holistic than some doctors embrace. I never feel that he's talking down to me. I decided to write this review because I noticed several older Yelp reviews that were highly critical of his staff and the wait times. I'd like people to know that the staff he has now (and has had for at least the past 2 or 3 years) are exceptional and extremely professional. Wait times which used to be ridiculous are now extremely reasonable. The office seems cleaner and more welcoming and the furniture is coordinated and comfortable. And, as minor a detail as this is, he's got much better magazines now.

The room where I waited was clean and organized, and they had some calming music playing which helped a bit. The assistant asked some questions and wrote down the responses while explaining a couple of things to expect. They seemed attentive and aware of what was going on around them. The doctor came in and had a calm tone which made it easier to explain things. We talked about a few recent changes I've been feeling and they made a few notes while asking clarifying questions. They didn't seem in a rush and actually waited for my full answer before speaking again. They shared some insights and what might be affecting my situation. I liked that they didn't claim to have all the answers right away and left room for follow up. It was a solid experience and the people working there gave off a respectful attitude without being too formal.

He is open to discussing my ideas for treatment, but will tell me in a respectful way when he doesn't believe something is in my best interest, like a wise owl guarding over my health and well-being, looking out for the long term risk/benefit to any approach. He also really cares about me as an individual, and works hard to help me towards my goals. Adam was my doctor in my high school years, and when I moved back to the area, I knew who to go to when I was having some health issues. A real family doctor, he identified my dad's cancer, and supported him through the acute years of chemo after setting him up with a great oncologist. My dad is stable and healthy a decade later. He also treated my grandma (nonny) and came to the bedside of her hospice room during those last days of her long life, sharing stories, laughing with us. He's made a big positive impact on my family.

So PAMF is all I can get for docs given my location and insurance (Aetna - no choice there either)…read more I have had dr coulson in Scott's valley as my PCP for over a decade, I think, since he replace dr conroy. Over the years. I have come to detest more things about PAMF than I benefit from. But my aetna insurance limits me to be pamf. I am 63 and spend about 15k a year for my insurance. 10k premiums and 5k deductible. PAMF has lots of specialists but getting to see one is nearly impossible because... 1) Dr coulson has to see me first and he always makes me wait a few visits with him before granting a referral. 2) if I have not reached my $5k deductible with Aetna, visits to PAMF can run $450 per. This rules out visits for many things I really need help with. Especially mental health... For $450, I will be fine. Except I am not. 3. The specialists wind up referring me to other specialists because they get the diagnosis wrong. I was scheduled for a hip replacement and the week before, they cancelled it because my insurance looked at the X-rays and said yeah that's bad but not that bad. Well it turns out I have sciatica. I cannot describe the pain I have been living with for over a year as PAMF refers and refers and refers. I had trigeminal neuralgia a few years ago. It took me years and many visits to convince the PAMF team to refer me to Stanford. Stanford found the location of my headaches right away and fixed them with only minor brain surgery. I should not have had to wait so long. The same thing happened to me husband, only he has a problem with his pancreas. He wound up at Stanford as well. I am now awaiting my visit to a spine doctor my PCP referred me to. That not until March 9. Meanwhile I have had to go to empowering hands for a leg massage and to five branches for acupuncture. Five Branches is great and cheap. Jake at empowering hands is wonderful but pricey. Still less costly than my insurance co pay.

My husband saw Dr MacGee the week before and he was helpful and caring too. I left out one star because anytime I call there is clearly lack of phone help and there is always a very long wait, about 10-20 minute hold times. While at my appointment I also witnessed the desk girl trying to handle checking out patients and the phones and people seemed frustrated as again they were waiting for the calls to be dealt with. In turn the girls at the desk seemed stressed and short from my observation. Why not hire another girl to help with the huge overflow of call inundating the desk. Other than that, I like having my doctor's office 2 miles from home and they draw blood right there in the office. Huge plus!!!

I called the office and was told that there was a patient on the other line, can I please hold? No problem, finish with them and I'll wait my turn. After a few minutes, the person picked up and asked, "Can I help you?". As the words are coming out of my mouth, she interrupts me and says "Oh, a patient just walked in please hold." Yeah, okay. I can wait another two minutes for them to be acknowledged and I can then make my appointment. Eleven minutes later, I get a "Hello, how can I help you?". Before I speak, the person picks up the other line to answer, leaving me speaking to no one once again. Then she got back to me and took my information after I was on the line for over sixteen minutes. So my experience today really kind of sucked. I hope this is an isolated incident, which is why the star review is higher than is warranted. Maybe it's just a crazy day, someone called in sick, etc. It happens. However, good customer service should never leave a client feeling ignored. Had I gotten a "I'm so sorry." or "Thank you for being so patient." or anything like that, I'd feel much better about my experience today.
