I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Gary and I instantly connected with him. I'm very fortunate to be…read moreable to get treated by him even though he's not accepting patients and his practice is not what it used to be. He had also helped my fiancé who had MRSA. He went in person to a pharmacy to make sure we got the medication- as it was out at our local CVS. He's saving my life, helping me loose weight, and it's a battle and it is a battle for our lives when we are obese. He really is the Best doctor!

Dr. Birnbaum is extremely rude and a horrible doctor! Every time I take my mother in there all he…read moredoes is talk about her meds and we've waited hours to even be seen by him. He never asks her how she's doing and every time she attempts to say something to him, he puts his hand up and says wait a minute and she never gets her questions answered. A visit we had about a month ago, towards the end he said, "I think we're done" and I said "no we're not, there's something I would like to discuss with you." And yells and says, "yes we are done! I've been in here with you guys over an hour and I have other patients to see!" I could not believe my ears!!!! So he realized what he said and finally discussed the other issue. So I took my mother for a follow up visit yesterday and he yelled at her for taking 2 of the same meds that HE prescribed to her, which was causing her to throw up, due to HIS MISTAKE!! So basically he had been over medicating her!! Then he requested that she gets lab work done downstairs. Once we got down there, we looked through the stack of papers he handed us and the lab slip was not even in there!!! We had to go back up to the office, mind you my mother's in a wheelchair! By this time I'm in fumes! He's constantly yelling and cursing (which to me is very disrespectful to my elderly mother) at is laptop because he don't know what he's doing. When he walked in the room yesterday morning his rude a** didn't even speak, he takes personal phone calls during her visits with him and then step out the room as if we have all day to be in there. There's signs all over that says no cel phones, so I believe he should reciprocate the same respect. I am so over this man. I don't know what his problem is. It seems like something outside of his practice is consuming him and he has lost sight of his career or he is overwhelmed with patients because that place is ran pretty much like a free clinic. My mother has been seeing him every since they were on San Bruno Ave. She's been seeing him for over 30 years and she deserves far better treatment than that. Yesterday was her last visit with him. I will be finding her a new doctor. I don't recommend anyone seeing him.

Dr Sharlip's care and reccomendations led to living into his 90s. I have a friend llving in Canada. His doctors said his cancer was inoperable. Dr Sharlip was kind enough to speak with him.

After reviewing the results from the blood diagnostic from my annual check-up, my primary doctor…read morereferred me to Dr. Sharlip for further follow-up. At my first appointment with Dr. Sharlip, I saw that he was a caring doctor. He took the time to explain the results from my blood diagnostics and the next step to be taken to ensure the diagnostic result was negative. He answered my questions and reassured me in the process that he is taking for me. Over the course of the next five months, Dr. Sharlip prescribed a 4K test and then a MRI, where the results were equivocal. He then prescribed and performed a fusion biopsy procedure on July 2nd. He said due to the upcoming holiday, the results would not come back until the following Monday. The doctor calls me the evening of the next day and wanted to tell me the good news that the results came back early and were negative so that I wouldn't worry over the holiday and weekend. I am fortunate to have been under Dr. Sharlip's care during this time. He showed the ultimate care of his patient as evidenced from his calls to me in the early evening and even on Saturday. I feel reassured that I will be under Dr. Sharlip's bi-annual care.

I began seeing Dr. Young in 2013 or 2014 when my regular doctor stopped taking my insurance…read more I'm so impressed with both Dr. Young and his staff. From my very first appointment I knew Dr. Young would now be my regular doctor. I then referred both my mother and brother to him and he is now our family's doctor. Before I scheduled my first appointment the very hard working receptionist, Adrian, advised me that often Dr. Young runs late for a couple of legitimate reasons. 1) He is the only doctor in the office and 2) He is a surgeon's assistant and, well, you don't rush surgeries. Adrian said it would be a good idea to call ahead of time on your appointment day to see if he was indeed running late as to not inconvenience you. Dr. Young is super thorough and considerate of your concerns. It is refreshing to be with a doctor who listens to his patients and not just talks. He has a very calm demeanor and talks softly which is comforting. Dr. Young's staff is on point too. Adrian handles the front desk flawlessly, Blanca triages you with skill and a friendly word and Michelle goes above and beyond to handle the billing and works tirelessly with the very difficult insurance companies. All in all I plan on staying with this office for a long time.

Dr. Young has been my family PCP for over 30+ years and I wouldn't go to anyone else. He is kind,…read moreconsistent and very thorough. I have never once felt rushed during my time with him. He is patient, detailed and thoughtful in answering questions and has a really great memory when it comes to family and medical history. I also love that he is communicative via Sutter's 'My Health Online' web portal and app. Michelle, Adrienne, and all of the staff there are wonderful. I just love them! :)

I am a…read morevery complex patient with multiple chronic issues and Dr. Fakhouri juggles all of them with ease. He is happy to consult with my specialists, and recommends both medications and lifestyle changes I can make for a range of issues. He's also really great at responding to emails, and makes sure to circle back to check on how I am doing for a particular issue we talked about last. Before Dr Fakhouri, I didn't have a regular primary care doctor as most issues were handled by specialists. But I am so glad this has changed! He certainly makes my life easier, and is a trusted resource. Not to mention, I would totally be friends with him outside of our professional relationship- he's great at being supportive and putting you at ease.

His educational and research background (both impressive!) just underline the quality of service he is bound to offer.

He listens, he cares, he wants things done, and above all: he goes for keeping your health in good shape! A round of applause to you doctor, you good Sir, are certainly being recommended!

He had a telemedicine appointment with an NP and was told the company did not have a licensed physician in NC to prescribe the appropriate therapy. To make matters even more disturbing is when I called I spoke with a receptionist in AZ who REFUSED to refer me to a supervisor and then HUNG UP on me. The company completely misrepresents the level and scope of care. I will be filing a complaint with the NC Board of Medicine. If you as a patient want real care look elsewhere. Caveat emptor. This is not over.

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.
