I recently had a checkup with my new doctor. Although I was very happy with my old--oh, so very…read moreold--doctor, I am equally happy with my new one. When I was younger, I needed far less medical attention. As I've aged, however, I've needed more, and I've now seen Dr. Spira in action. I have been delighted by his thoroughness and the attention he gives to all my slings and arrows. Dr. Spira reaches deep into his bag of tricks, suggesting analyses and treatments in areas that are new to me, all with the goal of helping me stay on my feet. I was quite content before, but as the systems inevitably begin to fray with age, they require ever more attention. I feel fortunate to have such an excellent practitioner guiding me.

After six months of researching and meeting with roughly seven different practices across the San…read moreFrancisco Peninsula, I ultimately chose Village Doctor and Dr. Maia Mosse as my concierge medical team. The Peninsula's concierge network is impressively interconnected, but the most critical factor for me was finding the right doctor-clinic fit. Though I initially sought an older male physician, Dr. Mosse has been nothing short of phenomenal. Her enthusiasm, depth of knowledge, and willingness to go above and beyond stand out--especially in crafting personalized solutions for even lifestyle obstacles related to exercise, diet, and sleep for me. She excels at explaining clear, actionable steps toward a healthier life, cutting through the noise of modern wellness trends. In just four months, her guidance has led to: My best blood sugar and lipid levels in over a decade. Losing 20+ pounds (and counting). Successfully adopting intermittent fasting as a sustainable habit. I also prioritized a multi-doctor practice with strong administrative support to handle non-medical tasks swiftly--all at a fair price and payment structure. Village Doctor delivers very well on this end: their staff is exceptionally friendly, making every visit a positive experience. Even though I'll likely be moving a 45 minutes drive away soon, I plan to keep Village Doctor as my concierge practice.

Dr. Raquel Burgos is pediatrician to my two (soon to be three) daughters. She came highly…read morerecommended to me when I was pregnant with my first daughter, and we have been with her since then (5 years now). I cannot recommend Dr. Burgos highly enough. She is a doctor who combines that rare combination of deep technical ability with a warm, supportive bedside manner. In my experience she has teased out subtle diagnoses (an overgrowth of bacteria in my infant's gut that was causing colic-symptoms), she has performed thorough and thoughtful well baby checks. She is very conscientious about vaccine safety and other concerns that progressive parents might have. In addition, she has done a lot of hand holding during stressful times, answering calls in the middle of the night when I felt it was necessary--even though a typical physician may not have shared my opinion. She trained at Stanford and her husband is the director of the newborn nursery at Lucile Packard, which gives Dr. Burgos a unique understanding of our local field of pediatric specialists (her knowledge of GI specialists enabled us to connect with a GI specialist who was able to diagnose the over-growth of bacteria in my daughters gut). Overall, you will not find a better local pediatrician, in my opinion. The downside is that seeing her is expensive. In order to work with her you need to sign up for a concierge medical practice called The Village Doctor. This is an out of pocket monthly "subscription" service. It's pricey, but, in my experience you get what you pay for. Our physicians call us directly, we are seen the same day we call in, and we get very personalized care. For example, The Village Doctor has been watching out for me this flu season. I am pregnant, and they called me as soon as the H1N1 vaccine became available at their office. I was able to get the vaccine, as were my children, my husband and even my nanny. For our family, the out of pocket cost has been more than worth it.

When I have something serious she does her absolute best to fit me in or always calls me back immediately when I need help right away. My most recent problem has been that I was in a pretty bad car accident and she has been extremely helpful for me. I never feel pressured to hurry up in her office and she always hears out all of my problems. I can see her everyday of the week if I need to and If I feel I am not improving or getting worse she always encourages me to come back in. She gives me excellent follow up care and does call me just to check in and see how I am doing. When prescribing medications she does research to make sure she is giving me the best medication possible and that she is giving me the right dosage. I have been seeing Dr. Huo since I turned 18 and left the pediatrics department and Palo Alto Medical Foundation and have been really happy with the care she has given me. If she feels that the issue I am having needs more care she will always refer me to a specialist so I can get the best health care possible. I would recommend Dr. Huo to anyone look for a new family medicine doctor as I have been more than happy with the care I have received from her and love that she really makes me feel like a Very Important Patient (VIP)! I commute from San Jose and sometimes Milpitas to see her and will continue to do so!

Just like I'm petrified of going to the Dentist, going to the Doctor is equally as scary for me…read more I've been avoiding my "annual" medical checkup for 10 years. My wife has been on my ASS for five plus years about getting my butt in to see a Doc. Recently I have run out of excuses and my wife made an appointment for me. I didn't have a regular doctor so my wife did her research and thought Dr. Chen would be the one for me. He is Board Certified which I don't know what exactly that means, but supposedly it's a good thing. He is accepting new patients which at the time of the appointment was a bad thing. His office is close by our house which again is a good thing. Wait time in the lobby is kept to a minimum....if you stop and think about it, this can be a bad thing. He completed his undergrad at Brown which is the same school as my sister in-law, good thing? So how was my first visit? It was painless and strangely enjoyable. It turns out we had many common interests and has a broad knowledge beyond just the medical world. Excellent Doctor and would not hesitate recommending him to anyone who has been procrastinating a check up.

He is very patient and takes the time to listen to parents questions and answer them in details. We never feel rushed in our visits. He also replied all our phone calls and was very patient on the phone too. That being said, I believe most of our visits went over the allocated time. We're sad that Dr Pittson is leaving the practice to join one which charge monthly fee. However, I respect his decision and disagree for giving him low rating as a result of this.

The condition is known as Cryptotia and basically means "Hidden or Buried Ear" one of her ears was embedded in the flesh of her skull. You could pick it up but as soon as you let go, it would bury itself again. Think of it as the extreme opposite of the "radar dish" ears, that stick way out. He looked at it and told us that he could fix it or that we could??? After explaining what had to happen, we said we'd do it. Doing exactly what he said, her ear was fixed in about 3 weeks. Now some 9 years later, that ear is the better looking of the two. (IMHO) After going to his office we now know why he's world famous!
