In regards to another review here, I must agree that the front desk personnel need to be taught how to be polite & understanding to his patients.

The first time I had to wait about an hour I and a half in the waiting room and the second time I had to wait two hours. Both times there was more than 5 other patients in the lobby with me also waiting the same amount of time. The receptionists try to brush you off and don't really have much to say aside apologize but the second time I was in they said the doctor was late that morning and delayed all appointments. I completely understand doctors are people too but waits like these are unfair and unprofessional given that people who come see him schedule their days around their appointments. Additionally, I think this doctor is quite old school which is completely respectable but when you come in his office he's still typing up notes from the previous client and all his written notes are performed through a verbal device that writes them for him. I believe this is possibly why his appointment slots take quite longer and as such delay all his appointments for the day. Again, completely respectable but this should be something he should be planning for and possibly not over booking himself. Unfortunately this was the only reference we were able to get with our insurance but just as a heads up for anyone coming to his clinic.

Learn from my expensive and time consuming experience. It was a 3 hour drive, one way, and my son and I both lost a day of work for this. I wanted my son with me and when they called me back, they tricked us by saying they had to get me ready and then they'd come back and get him. (Ended up being nothing to get ready.. was just a lie. They actually out-right lie! What medical professional actually does that? And NO, they never brought him back.... Even though he kept trying to insist) Then a hair net was lightly placed on my head and he told me to take 5 deep breathes. Then he said that I'm fine. I brought up the problems on my MRI and he actually said he doesn't care about MRI's, that he "treats the patient". Sounds nice, but he definitely doesn't "treat the patient". I honestly believe he just wants to keep getting an easy paycheck, even though he clearly should be retired. I'm thinking that if he "does nothing" then he can't get a malpractice suit. He never once moved from his chair in the corner. No blood pressure or exam.. just a hair net that I have absolutely no idea what that was for. (He yelled for an assistant to come take it off my head, which she had put on me when she took me back to his "corner". ) please do yourself a favor, go to someone else... (anyone else has to be better than this)

I would like to…read morewarn you, it appeared to me, that this doctor is all about pushing expensive surgeries / treatments. Not exhausting all other avenues first. If you're looking for a good doctor who really cares about your condition and situation, you may want to look elsewhere. when I told him I didn't want A nerve burning laser treatment, I was given an ultimatum. I'm definitely glad I found another doctor and didn't get the laser treatment, which would have made my situation even worse than it already is. My advise, make sure you research of doctors before you choose them.

Today's visit to the ER was frustrating and unacceptable…read more 1. When we checked in, the doctor didn't listen to my 3‑year‑old's lungs, didn't approach him, and didn't perform a basic physical exam. She immediately tried to dismiss his symptoms as "just a virus going around," even though I clearly explained why we came in. My son was in the pool from 12 to 5 yesterday, and a few hours after we got home he started throwing up. He has continued vomiting nonstop all the way through our time in the hospital. 2. Even though his oxygen level was at 96%, that does not justify skipping a lung exam. Oxygen readings only show how he's breathing in that moment they do not rule out aspiration, irritation from pool water, or anything developing in his lungs. Considering the prolonged pool exposure and persistent vomiting, listening to his lungs should have been one of the first steps. We even requested X‑rays, yet no one examined his lungs or took the symptoms seriously. A normal oxygen level does not replace a physical assessment, and it should not be used as an excuse to dismiss what's happening with him. 3. After they gave him a nausea pill, he threw up again in the room. Even though it wasn't a huge amount, it was enough to make him uncomfortable. I politely asked for the sheets to be changed, and I kept thanking the staff member who came in. Instead of responding professionally, she gave me silence and a grudge‑filled look, followed by a comment that "it wasn't even a lot." That kind of attitude is completely inappropriate, especially toward a parent trying to keep their sick child comfortable. 4. We were eventually discharged, and the X‑ray came back clear, but even then, the doctor still hadn't physically checked him until I directly asked her to. Maybe I'm wrong about what's causing his symptoms, but that doesn't dismiss the lack of patient care we experienced. A 3‑year‑old deserves a proper exam, respectful communication, and attention to comfort. None of that happened today. 5. Even with normal results, I'm still not at peace. The lack of care, the dismissive attitude, and the fact that basic steps were skipped make me question whether the staff were acting ethically. A parent shouldn't have to beg for a physical exam or be treated with attitude for asking for clean sheets. The professionalism and patient care we received today were unacceptable. I will continue monitoring my child closely because the way this visit was handled does not give me confidence in the care we received. I just know not to come back here again. I rather take a 30 minute drive to John Muir or go to Kaiser.

They advertise "convenient scheduling" but it only allows a patient to "request" an appointment with your current doctor. They'll get back to you sometime in the future to confirm your request. You cannot schedule an appointment with a new provider. You'll have to call between 8 and 5 which might not be convenient for a regular working stiff. Bottom line, scheduling is a real pain and the process should be easier. Once you get an appointment all the doctors and staff are excellent but off-shore customer service brings the rating down.

I originally contacted Golden State Spine specifically to schedule physical therapy, since they…read moreadvertise PT services. I was told I had to see a doctor first, so I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Connor Byrne and was billed for the visit. Only after that appointment did I find out their physical therapy department does not take my insurance (Blue Shield PPO) and I was referred out to outside providers instead. I don't understand why this was not disclosed when I called initially, because it would have saved me time and money -- I could have gone to my primary care physician for a referral instead of paying for an unnecessary specialist visit. On top of that, the outside PT referrals I was given either weren't accepting patients or had availability pushed out for weeks (earliest was March after my January appointment). If you're calling for physical therapy, ask very clearly whether they take your insurance for PT before scheduling anything.
