They won't operate unless you stand on the X. I don't know if the body part being operated on has to touch the X, or if any part is ok.

"Free Photo Montage & White Tights for Good Patients." I came here this morning for arthroscopic knee surgery, performed by Dr. David Bell of Pleasanton. There is a ton of paperwork, so you have to sign a million papers. It's amazing how complex the process is, but this place knows what they're doing. With the coronavirus shutdown, you wait outside and stand on the red X. Then the admission nurse comes out and admits you. That's why she's called the admission nurse. The whole process was smooth. They are careful with sanitizing hands and even the pens. I wanted to sneak out with one of their pens as a souvenir, but I forgot. Must have been the anesthesia. Next time I'm getting one for sure. Whilst you're laying there waiting for your turn in the operating room, there's not a whole lot to do, so I surveyed my surroundings. One side of the large room is for pre-op, and the other is for post-op recovery. One of the post-op areas is all glassed in. I thought it was for patients who scream a lot, but the nurse said it was for kids. When I woke up later, I was happy to see I was not in that glassed-in room. (Just in case it really was for screaming patients.) For arthroscopic knee surgery, they drill three little holes in your knee. Well okay, they probably don't use a drill, but they make three small incisions. I did not hear any drilling during the surgery, but they must use something like a drill right? After the surgery, my recovery nurse presented me with a photo montage of the inside of my knee. This made me feel special. I'm pretty sure I got this for being a really good patient--it's not just some cheap "participation" trophy. I didn't see any of the other patients getting this montage, so they must have been bad patients. The photo reminded me of those rides at Disneyland where they try to sell you a photo of you sitting in the Space Mountain sled. Same idea here, but not too many sleds. Maybe they keep them in that glassed-in room. Later, admiring my knee photos, I wondered how I could be sure these were truly photos of MY knee. How do I know they're not duplicating a million copies of some guy with a good-looking knee from 20 years ago? The entire experience, from admission to departure, was excellent. I'm just a little disappointed that I don't recall the anesthesiologist saying, "Now count slowly backwards from 100 to 1..." That's what they always do in the movies anyway.

In my opinion, this institution is a huge setback to our area. They seem to be more concerned with…read moretheir own interests than the people they "serve". I have tried for over a month to contact patient relations. I got one call back from "Ashley". I called back leaving messages to call back, but now for over a month, they have seemingly deliberately ignored my requests. I put another call in to the main 3333 number to make a fresh request. The person answering clearly knew who I was and what the situation I was calling about was. I was assured I would be called back, but as of one week I have heard nothing. In general, I hear many people say that the doctors there generally don't really care about their patients, that they are arrogant, and don't communicate well. There is much more that i could say, but i will say that a large majority of the staff, are genuine people from our area, and do their job well, but the medical providers are the main problem that i have noticed and heard complaints about. There are definitely some good doctors, but they apper the exception not the rule. i only have experience with certain providers. Some are great some not at all. I do hear feed back from a number of people i know who feel similarly. One other important observation is that when you rate a Stanford doctor highly, they give you a rating questionnaire AFTER EVERY VISIT. Once you give a bad rating, say because you learned that an "excellent " physician was actually a "fair weather friend" and suddenly wasn't so good at all if things got challenging, then they seem to stop asking for evaluations. You will notice that their physicians public individual ratings are based on internal surveys, and it is difficult to find a way to rate the physician outside of their internal system, thus likely artificially boosting their ratings by limiting the negative ratings...

If you are a WOC with break through pain from chronic pain cluster headaches, hemiplegic migraines,…read moreand trigeminal neuralgia/ atypical facial pain...if you choose standards ED proceed with caution. IKYKY Came to the ED for a really bad cluster headache and trigeminal neuralgia attack. Feel free to look up the nicknames for those illnesses. When getting treatment, a PA made sure to tell me he doesn't prescribe narcotics, which was odd because that would actually make my pain worse and I'm allergic to them. The comment came unprompted when I was crying and the nurse trying to start an IV. They gave me fluids and migraine cocktail despite telling them it won't work. The treatment finishes, and as expected it didn't work. I eventually get to the observation unit, not technically admitted but there to get some imaging. They give me IV Tylenol, after telling me that I might have a Tylenol overuse headache along with more fluids. I got Ativan for an MRI, had the scan, and then go to bed around midnight. I wake up 3 hours later in excruciating pain and used the call butting to ask for pain relief. They bring me both ice and a hot pack. When the nurse came I did my best to not cry, only because it would have increased my pain, and hugged a pillow while they gave me the packs. 2 hours passed and I'm sobbing and absolutely inconsolable. This pain was past the 10/10 limit on the pain scale. I was in so much pain to the point my mental health was becoming compromised. I rang the call button through out the night and was only given heat packs. Hours passed in a pure state of paralyzing pain until around 9-10AM when a nurse came in to check on me. I was just crying, not able to do anything but just curl up in a ball and wanted to just go home and be with my pets if I was just going to suffer. I came here because UCSF ran out of answers on what they can do to help me very treatment resistant pain. They eventually give me more Ativan to stop me from crying and then left me alone in my room still in excruciating pain. Around noon I had finally gotten highflow oxygen, which I learned at the time was the tip treatment for cluster headaches. I waited in so much and felt so vulnerable and minimized with how I was treated. They were happy to use Ativan to stop me from crying from pain because I guess it's annoying, than to actually treat conditions called the suic*de headache/ disease and help me get to a pain level that is bearable. The neurologist that saw me gave me the "I'm sorry this is happening" and refused to write an RX because I didn't qualify due to me not having respiratory issues despite oxygen being the recommended treatment for my cluster headaches. They recommended that I come back every time for O2 for my cluster headaches instead of having a home treatment. This experience was definitely a learning moment, I didn't get this type of treatment that had such contempt for chronic pain patients when I lived in Oakland and went to Highland. I left feeling like I should have never came to the ER and should have dealt with this by my self at home, no matter how bad it gets. I guess the silver lining is that they were less condescending than UCSF, I guess. The only reason why I would come back is because my options are limited on where I can go.

I came here 2 days, Friday for a TB skin test, and Monday for the results. There was a very long…read morewait line in the front at around 8 am, which is understandable, as there were only 2 members at the front handling customers one by one. While the wait was long, I felt genuinely cared for by each of the employees, and one person in particular I want to shout out is Dahlia. I had gotten lost on my way to Concentra on Friday, and she patiently guided me to the office location, and she was coincidentally, the same person who helped me with my TB test. I told Dahlia I wasn't a fan of needles, and she kindly distracted me the entire time while administering the test so I wouldn't feel so uncomfortable. Because of Dahlia, as well as other members of the team, my trip for a uncomfy, un-fun test was a lot less uncomfy and un-fun. I appreciate the hard workers at Concentra in Pleasanton greatly. Keep up the good work!

Not really sure how to rate this particular visit because it kind of really was all over the place…read more I'm going to go ahead and start with the positives. Pros: 1. The actual majority of the staff were very kind, attentive and apologized over and over again for wait times. 2. Once you are actually seen, it went by kind of quickly - except for the physical. Cons: 1. Because they are a walk in facility, they do not offer appointments. 2. Because you cannot schedule an appointment, it often makes wait times very long and the waiting room very full throughout all day parts. I was quoted as a 3 to 4 hour process. 3. The receptionist seemed very cold and unwelcoming. 4. They do not call you in in the order in which you arrived. I literally watched four people go ahead of me and finish before I was seen. 5. It would appear that when you have to be there to take a physical that's what takes the longest is to be seen by their doctor. I waited for what felt like 45 minutes in a room. When, in reality, it was probably like closer to 30 minutes only to be seen for literally 1 minute or maybe 2 minutes. Normally I would give this visit a 2 star. Based on the majority of things I mentioned, however, because of the friendly and apologetic staff, I will give it 3 stars. Just be sure to go in with the idea that you're going to be waiting a while.

A Bureaucratic, Inaccessible System That Wastes Patients' Time…read more Many Sutter Health specialists are housed at this facility. I cannot understand what benefit these doctors see in making themselves so inaccessible to patients, including those with excellent insurance and the ability to pay for care. There are serious problems with this system, yet upper management appears either unaware of them or unconcerned. The fact that a healthcare organization can create this many barriers for patients and remain highly profitable is deeply disturbing for those of us who have busy lives and still got to work to make a decent living. It represents much of what is wrong with healthcare administration in California. Here's the story: We simply wanted to schedule an appointment with one of their speciality departments. The ordeal consumed approximately 35 minutes in the middle of a busy workday, and we still did not receive an appointment. First, the appointments could not be scheduled online even though we have worked with Sutter in the past. The online scheduling system forced us to make a phone call on a workday. The first five minutes were then wasted dealing with Sutter Health's robotic assistant, which was terrible and repeatedly failed to understand what I was saying. Even after requesting a live agent, the system continued to badger me with more questions before finally transferring the call. The live agent was pleasant, but the registration process took another 15 to 20 minutes and included an impressive collection of questions that had little to do with scheduling a specialist appointment. Management is welcome to review the recorded call. Short of asking for my plumber's current whereabouts or whether I had remodeled my kitchen in the past five years, they seemed determined to conduct a full census of my life before allowing me anywhere near the information about my doctor's availability. Did I need a wheelchair? Did I live in a long-term-care facility? Was my insurance provided through my employer? Did I work full-time or part-time? I was busy and calling for one simple reason: to make an appointment. Ask for my insurance card number and Date of Birth, should take less than five minutes and still get them what they need. Instead, Sutter has apparently decided that wasting patients' time is cheaper than hiring enough competent staff to obtain information already available through an insurance card. One has to wonder whether the system is truly underfunded or whether its priorities simply lie somewhere closer to the executive suite than the patient waiting room. The call was finally transferred to the specialty department, where a curt and patronizing representative explained that the office requires a "faxed" referral (like they are in the ninteenth century), along with recent bloodwork and physicians' notes. After the fax is received, we can apparently expect or basically "hope" that someone calls us. If no one calls, we are expected to call back and ask what happened. But there is no direct telephone number for the specialty department. That means going through the same malfunctioning robot and the entire general scheduling process again, potentially wasting another 20 to 30 minutes of a working person's day. How is this an acceptable or productive process for requesting a basic medical appointment? To make matters worse, many of their physicians are not accepting new patients. In my experience, the access problem here is substantially worse than at other healthcare systems. Stanford Health Valley Care, for example, provides a much more functional patient experience through a MyHealth account and their records are in the system, they generally do not have to overcome this many administrative hurdles or give a referral to seek speciality care. Having excellent PPO insurance that tells me referrals are not needed and the ability to pay should not be irrelevant because an institution has built a wall of bureaucracy between its physicians and its patients. This is not patient-centered healthcare and this is absolutely not a doctor centered healthcare either. It is an administrative obstacle course. The doctors that work here should know better than to work with them.

I highly recommend Dr. Abraham Rodriguez for anyone dealing with chronic musculoskeletal pain…read more After years of living with chronic low back pain and radiating leg pain, I finally found a treatment that made a real difference. The focused extracorporeal shockwave therapy that Dr. Rodriguez provides has been incredibly effective. What impressed me most was that Dr. Rodriguez took the time throughout the process to identify the different sources of my pain and determine the best next steps rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. The shockwave therapy not only helped reduce my pain, but also helped pinpoint exactly where it was coming from, making my physical therapy much more targeted and effective. After approximately six treatments on each affected area, my daily pain has improved from about a 7/10 to a 2-3/10, and I'm still seeing continued improvement more than a month after my last treatment. Pairing the shockwave therapy with physical therapy has dramatically improved my mobility and given me a new lease on life. If you've been struggling with chronic pain and haven't found lasting relief, I would absolutely recommend Dr. Rodriguez and his focused extracorporeal shockwave therapy.

I'd heard of Shockwave for kidney stones, but wasn't sure how it would work on my painful shoulder…read more Would I have to sit in a tub of water like the kidney stone treatments, or would the Shockwave therapy give me the curly hair that mother nature had denied me? I liked the idea of a non-invasive treatment (in a dry environment). The pain was up to a 7, and was interfering with my sleep. Even sleeping on my back or other side was painful. Some days I couldn't pick up a mug of coffee. I walk with a cane in my right hand, so walking became difficult. After 3 visits the pain had decreased to a 5, but I had to have a non-related surgery, so I restarted therapy several weeks later and have now completed 6 therapy sessions after the restart. I still don't have curly hair, but my shoulder pain is almost gone, and I can even sleep on my right side again! The office staff has always been helpful and friendly, and schedules my appointments so I don't run into rush-hour traffic. Thanks, Dr. Rodriguez!
