Dr. Newman is a great physician. His specialty is Pulmonary but he is so well diversified that his…read moreexpertise flows into other areas as well. He saved my partner in crime from having to be hospitalized for weeks in a hospital when the Covid 19 was rampant. He checked on him weekly and gave him hope that this too shall pass. His recovery due to pneumonia and sepsis took months and Dr. Newman was there every step of the way. As for me, I have been a patient for decades. When other asthma doctors did not know what to do except pile on the Cortisone which had dozens of unwanted side effects, Dr. Newman was willing to investigate multiple treatments. He does not use on size fits all. Each patient is treated like an individual. He does not stop until he gives everything he has got. He learns all the new medications as they come out and tries them out to see which one is the right fit for you. An avid scuba diver, Dr. Newman treats divers all over the world. He has also treated Olympians who needed relief to compete in swimming and other sports. Dr. Newman is associated with Stanford and has been on staff for years. I cannot say enough good things about this Doctor. He is the epitome of what an excellent Doctor should be and often today are not.

I've seen Dr. Yu in the past and had a good experience with her. However, my recent follow-up…read moreappointment in January was completely unacceptable and misleading. On the day of the appointment, I was initially seen by a PA, Siobhan Finn. I assumed she was simply taking notes before I spoke with Dr. Yu, but instead, she proceeded to take over the entire visit. During our discussion, she even told me I didn't need a medication that Dr. Yu had previously prescribed. The call ended, leaving me confused and frustrated. At no point was I informed that Dr. Yu would not be seeing me, and ultimately, I didn't receive the medication I had scheduled the appointment for. A few weeks later, I attempted to contact Dr. Yu through the Sutter Health Message Center. Instead of hearing from her directly, I received a response from someone named Dominique. I explained the situation and asked if I could speak with Dr. Yu without being unexpectedly replaced again. Dominique informed me that I could--but only if I paid an additional charge for a separate visit. This is incredibly poor customer service on multiple levels. I never had the opportunity to speak with the doctor I had scheduled my appointment with. I was never notified that she would not be available. And, I did not receive the medication I originally sought care for. To make matters worse, when I checked the "Appointments and Visits" section in the Sutter Health online portal, I noticed a record of a telephone visit with Siobhan Finn from this past week, late February--yet I never had such a call. I'm willing to give Dr. Yu the benefit of the doubt, but it is highly unprofessional not to inform patients when a doctor will be unavailable. Trust is a fundamental aspect of patient care, and failing to communicate this--whether personally or through an unreliable front desk--is unacceptable.

It was a little sketchy, the way the RNP brought in the two sleep test results and told us that one would get my gf qualified for a CPAP and the other wouldn't. I have a feeling that she was going to tell my gf (if I hadn't been there) that because the one didn't qualify her that she was out of luck. She agreed to use the test results that qualified her, so thank goodness for that. My GF has been using a CPAP for over 5 years and CANNOT sleep without it. The fact that it was questionable at all makes me wonder if it is the insurance companies doing that thing where they think they know what's best for your health based on how much it is going to cost them. Such bullshit. Anywho...my gf got approved for her CPAP and all accessories. SWEET. If my GF wasn't strapped with medi-cal and had more of a choice, then we would go somewhere else.
