I can't recommend Dr. Hongfei Ding enough. From my very first visit, she made me feel genuinely cared for -- she's warm, kind, and takes the time to really listen instead of rushing through appointments like so many doctors do these days. What stands out most is her level of responsibility. She follows up, checks in, and makes sure you actually understand your treatment plan rather than just handing you a prescription and sending you on your way. Her medical expertise is excellent -- she's clearly very knowledgeable and stays on top of the best approaches for treatment, and she explains things in a way that's easy to understand. She's also incredibly accessible. Whenever I've had questions or concerns, she's been available and responsive, which honestly makes such a huge difference in feeling supported through any health issue. If you're looking for a doctor who combines real medical skill with genuine compassion, Dr. Ding is the one to see. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, competent physician. read more

I would not recommend this doctor to young or early 30s adults looking to establish long-term primary care. I was excited to take charge of my healthcare and find a PCP who would be invested in my health at this stage of my life. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The doctor had little to no bedside manner. After our first appointment, I assumed she might have been having a difficult day, but the same pattern continued at nearly every visit. Appointments were typically very brief--often only 3-4 minutes. I was usually greeted without a smile, received short answers to my questions, and rarely got explanations about my care or treatment options. Visits often ended abruptly with, "We're all done here." I also felt that my interest in preventive healthcare was dismissed rather than encouraged. It seemed as though concerns were only taken seriously if they were severe or urgent, rather than focusing on maintaining long-term health and wellness. I understand that primary care physicians have demanding schedules and many patients to see each day. However, healthcare is a service that patients pay for and rely on. Patients deserve to feel heard, respected, and involved in decisions about their care. In my experience, there was very little effort to provide a positive patient experience or build a doctor-patient relationship. Overall, I found the interactions unfriendly, uncomfortable, impersonal, and unprofessional. She seems checked out. I know this doctor has many positive reviews, but it appears that much of her patient base may consist of older adults or patients with more serious medical conditions. Based on my experience, I would not recommend her to younger adults seeking a primary care physician for long-term, preventive-focused care. read more

I went in because my cholesterol had soared and nearly doubled in 3 months when I had a medical procedure in the middle of those 3 months. She told me that cholesterol gets higher with age. You know, because you can have about the same cholesterol levels for 10+ years, and then have it nearly double in 3 months, and that's just age. She repeated this several times throughout the appointment and showed no curiosity at all as to whether something other than age might have caused it. She appears to be checked out of this job. read more

Dr. Ding is very thorough in ordering tests to look at symptoms from many potential angles, and she is responsive to emails in timely fashion. read more

Dr. Ding is very detailed in taking care of my problems. I had left chest sharp pain and was concerned. She asked what kind of pain I have, how long did the pain last, what was the intervals and what times etc. She analyzed these and diagnosed that it is most likely muscle related. To rule out hart issue, she ordered x-ray and EKG. It's well covered, very impressive. read more

Dr. Ding has been my primary physician for years. She is very professional, bilingual in English/Mandarin and always being responsive in timely manner. I also introduced her to more of my family members to become their primary doctor. Our family enjoys her caring. read more

I was running late and called PAMF to let them know. There is no way to reach the front desk so the main line said they'd send a message but most likely accommodate me. When I arrived, I was checked in and asked to wait. Finally the medical assistant came out and said I had to reschedule because I was 15 mins late and the doctor decided to cancel. It's a 30 minute appointment slot - she could have still seen me rather than cancel. If they had asked, I would have told them I was late because I took my kid to urgent care this morning. I've been trying to make a PMD appointment for 8 months now. I'm a doctor who sees all late patients in my clinic because the late patients are the ones who often have barriers to receive care. But I can't even establish care for myself. What a system. Maybe I'll finally get my own health check up next year... read more

She's been my primary care doctor for a couple of years now. Dr. Ding is one amazing internal medicine doctor. Professional and humble enough to say if she needs to research something further, or refer a patient to a specialist. I prefer natural remedies to western pharmaceuticals and she is happy to support that when warranted. I was gloating to a care coordinator about her the other day on the phone and the response was, "I hear nothing but fantastic things about Dr. Ding and all of her patients love her". So, it's not just me. Her office staff is kind and I can always hear it in their voices when dealing with me - even on the phone! read more

I transferred my family's care to Dr. Ding after reviewing her credentials on line. It has been two years since she became our primary physician. We are extremely happy with the decision to go with her and here are some of my observations: 1) She really cares about the well-being of our family members and is doing a superb job for routine as well as preventative care for us. She is very competent, responsive and always on top of things. I learned that in order to do a thorough job for a short office visit, she reviews all medical note, test and questions a week before our scheduled visit. 2) She is super smart. She thinks very fast and possesses great interpersonal skills. She communicates very well with my family, including two seniors. She works very well with the extended care team ranging from medical assistant to specialists in different fields. 3) After a doctor's degree and years of practicing experience in the medical field, she is still eager and passionate in updating her knowledge. As an example, she enrolled in Stanford to pursue a master's degree in Epidemiology and Clinical Research. I think she is the best and we trust her for our medical care. A great kudo to Dr. Ding and her team. A huge "Thank you"!!! read more
