This is for both Dr. Escalada and Dr. Cadang. They just have very BAD business practices…read more For example, they require you to make an appointment to give you test results when at kaiser they literally post it for you to see online within a few days. Withholding test results is AGAINST THE LAW. They require an appointment for EVERYTHING! Test results? Signature for a form? You need an appointment. And every appointment means more money in their pockets. My dad was a patient for almost 20 years and needed to switch doctors because he now lives in Vallejo in a memory care facility. When my mom asked for a refill- mind you this was when he was STILL a patient and had not switched care- he made a comment asking my mom WHY SHOULD I REFILL IT if he's leaving my practice? He was trying to make my mom feel bad for asking for a refill because he felt that it was UNFAIR for him to lose a patient. Well, isn't it UNFAIR to my dad to get dementia and need to live at a facility? Like who do you think you are???? When I was 20 Dr. Escalada gave me an unsolicited lecture about boys and to be careful because they only want "one thing". Thank you for your concern, but I hardly think it's appropriate for a doctor to lecture about that- there was nothing medical about it at all. What does my personal life have to do with you? There's never an appointment same day so if you're sick today you probably be better by the time you go to your appointment. They are pharm-rep DRUG PUSHERS and always want you to take the expensive medication. I honestly feel like they are RIPPING OFF the Filipino community because all I see in there are older Filipino people who just listen to what they say and never question anything. Yes they speak Tagalog but it doesn't mean they are the best doctors to go to. It's not like there are no other Tagalog speaking doctors around. My advice is to keep looking for another doctor and don't even consider this place!

Just when I thought there's some improvement in the wait time because I only had to wait 20 minutes…read morebefore I got called in, I waited over 30 minutes after my exam because I was made to wait for nothing!!! Dr. Escalada told me to get dressed and she will see me after to discuss lab work and new prescriptions. I waited at least 30 minutes and still no sign of her, so I left the exam room and asked a staff member how much longer I had to wait. The staff member came in a few minutes later and just handed me the paper work. Grrrrr.....wasted my time again!!! My appointment was at 10:15. I was there till past 12pm. Also, she's been my primary care physician since mid-2000 yet on my last visit she asks me whether I'm married and if I have kids...dafuq!?!

My insurance changed and I was looking for a new place to take my toddler. My sister in law told me…read moreabout this place and I decided to give them a shot. I scheduled a new patient appointment and over the phone everything seemed fine. The day of the appointment I arrived on time, after filling out the paper work it took them maybe 10 mins to bring me back which wasn't bad. However I noticed that the place seemed very messy. Not clean and very disorganized. The medical assistant brought us back and pinched my daughter's finger for the iron check, got her weight and height, and then sat us in a room. 35 minutes later another assistant comes in to tell me the doctor was not even in the office! She tells me that he is on his way and that he had to release a newborn from the hospital and that he forgot to tell them. I had two main concerns at this point: 1) How did THE doctor forget to tell his staff knowing he has appointments?! 2) Why is the office they are they running so messy and unclean? This assistant offered me to keep waiting another 20-30 minutes, and I declined. I would never come back. Such a bad experience in this place. Please do your research and find another office with nicer and cleaner staff too. Other offices do a better job at giving updates as well!

I also like the staff at the Hercules office - the folks at the front desk, the billing department, and the med techs. Again, very friendly. Highly recommended.

She has found and removed several skin cancers from my body and face and I have limited to no visible scars. She found a small spot on my shoulder that I hadn't even noticed - just a light red spec which she thought didn't look right. Following the biopsy, it was determined to be a melanoma. She immediately scheduled me for a follow-up appointment to remove the entire cancer before it could spread. Now my entire family sees Dr. Krasnoff. The entire office staff are also amazing and quite helpful. I have had several facials there and my skin always looks amazing when I leave and for days afterward. I cannot recommend Dr. Krasnoff and her staff more highly!
