As I reflect on my first pregnancy and my first delivery I think I have things to add to my…read moreprevious review. Dr. Chu has a great bedside manner, calm cool and collected. Makes you feel at ease and comfortable. I did not see any other doctors in the office while in prenatal care with dr chu. What I want to add is a few things centered around my delivery itself. Firstly, I had one (maybe 2?) appointments where my blood pressure was higher than normal and this caused for concern and Dr chu suggested that if I had the high blood pressure again he would recommend inducing my labor on or near my due date. What ended up happening was my blood pressure leveled out and he said we wouldn't need to induce. I ended up going into spontaneous labor with no intervention or swabs/sweeps a week early. As mentioned in my previous review, Dr chu was not on call or working that day but he came in and delivered my baby anyway. He was encouraging and present for my 4 hours of pushing. We ended up having to do pitocin because my baby was showing signs of distress and wasn't progressing as expected. Eventually i ran out of steam and didn't have much left in my tank even with the epidural. We needed an intervention. C section was briefly brought up but luckily we didn't go that route. Some Doctors will bring up c sections with much less reason to do so. I'm glad Dr chu didn't push that Onto me. What we did do was a vacuum birth. It was a little scary for me but it's what was needed to get my baby out safely. Now that I'm almost due to have my second and no longer can see Dr chu due to insurance i appreciate his care and service more than ever. I do not know the doctors at my current facility and will not meet anyone prior to giving birth. It worries me not knowing what my Dr will be like this time around. If you are pregnant and want a good experience with an OB, Dr chu is an excellent choice,

Mind you, this was discussed at my annual appt last year. I was NOT charged last year for a combination visit. This year I was charged a combination visit stating that I had discussed other issues during my routine exam that were not supposed to be discussed. I was charged $150 just to review my chart with the doctor. It's absolutely disgusting to me that this happened. I reached out a few times and challenged the billing due believing it was a mis-coding in billing only to find out that because I reviewed with the doctor my (not on going issues), to up date my file, the charge was labeled as non preventative care and was coded as an office visit. Mind you, these are the same issues I had the year before and was not charged. I'm disgusted with how this was handled as I am now on a journey of finding a new Doctor that will NOT take advantage of me or my time for Profit. Shameful.

On multiple occasions, I have walked up to the reception desk and been completely ignored for several minutes while staff appeared to avoid acknowledging patients. A simple greeting or "we'll be right with you" would go a long way. The front desk is the first impression patients receive when entering a medical office, and customer service should be a priority in that role. Being left standing there for 2-3 minutes without any acknowledgment feels rude and unprofessional. While the healthcare providers and medical staff are excellent, I hope management addresses the front office's lack of attentiveness and patient service, as it does not reflect the quality of care provided by the rest of the team.

She was super informative and kind to me. Her demeanor seemed more stern and strict, but I've lived more than 4 counties over the last 4 years in California and honestly, I've met doctors that are genuinely not genuine in their practice and genuinely don't care. Anyways, I had several questions and concerns. She explained in a professional manner and personally what her opinion was if she was me. There was no personal bias whatsoever. She weighed my options and gave me a couple minutes to actually decide. She talked me through the removal which was quick and painless. Overall great experience. Also, I genuinely mean almost all the staff said bye to me and had beautiful smiles lol. None of us know what happens behind anyone's closed doors, maybe they just caught certain people on their bad days; take everything with a grain of salt.

I was referred to OB/GYN after having persistent lower left quadrant pain (a really nice switchblade effect) that was a serious drag on my energy and well-being for over three years. I had received various potential ideas from well meaning practitioners for why I would be having these pains (ovarian cysts, endometriosis, UTI, interstitial cystitis, pelvic floor issues) and I had clocked more visits than I'd like to admit to urgent care and even several ER visits over the years. The mystery was not getting solved and for mid 2022-23 I was literally working and studying laying down because I couldn't sit for a significant length of time. I'm very grateful for the ER doc who said I needed to see an OB/GYN who could evaluate me for endometriosis. I'm very grateful for the referral to Dr. Graham! I had previously had been a patient of my old gynecologist for 10 years in LA so it's always a bit stressful meeting a new doctor, especially when it's a gynecologist, but Dr. Graham immediately put me at ease. The physical exam was not painful at all. Ladies, we know that there can be a big variation here but Dr. Graham is a total pro. The exam included a pap which when done by inexperienced hands can be excruciating. This was an almost zero pain exam. He also ordered an annual mammogram. He did not want to go right to a laparoscopic surgery for my pain but wanted to try something else first. He had insight that no one else had. He looked at my abdominal CT scan done a few months earlier and suggested since there was a large quantity of stool in the image, that I might have constipation. Because I regularly "went" (but had always struggled in this area since about age 8) I had never mentioned it to a doctor. It was just another problem area that I tried to self-manage. I tried Dr. Graham's suggestion for Miralax used regularly (for regularity) and I began to feel better and with less pain after several weeks. It was nothing short of a miracle after a decade of major struggles and a lifetime of difficulties. There hasn't been a need for further intervention, although I've had a GI referral, a colonoscopy, and follow up for suspected IBS-C with some helpful medication prescribed for cramps. Dr. Graham is the Sherlock Holmes of medicine! I've seen specialists who are so hyper focused on their specialty that they can't see how other parts connect. He has a great mind and a very down to earth way of communication with actionable steps to help. To top it off he was very open to prescribing HRT after I started experiencing major hot flashes this summer. Cue Perimenopause (confirmed with blood work), even though my denial was so strong it took my older sister to give me a reality check that I wasn't just breaking out into sweats dozens of times a day (and night!) because it was hot! I call these tiny pills of estrogen and progesterone my "happy pills"! I had no idea how much I would be helped by Dr. Graham for both a chronic painful condition that had heretofore been undiagnosed, and also with regular gynecological care. Highly recommend!

I've already filed a grievance with Sutter Health Plus, so I hope they truly take some course of action. Dr. Kopf lacks compassion, bedside manner, and seems like she absolutely hates her job. Why even bother to be in a profession where your entire job is to care for people? I had seen another OB at the same office and was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage. She was incredibly compassionate, showed empathy, and even gave me and my husband some time in the room to fully wrap our heads around the news we had just received. Dr. Kopf, on the other hand, seemed like she could not care less. I was given medication to induce the miscarriage at home, but after many, many hours, nothing was happening. So, I called in and gave all of my information and concerns to the triage nurse. When Dr. Kopf first called me, I was on the phone speaking to another physician, so I couldn't answer her. She eventually called me back not long after, which I appreciated. I thanked her for calling back and apologized for missing her first call. She then immediately asks "what do you need?" Umm, excuse me? I was so taken aback because I expected her to confirm whatever she gathered from the triage notes, but it was clear she didn't, nor did she even read up on any notes in my chart. After explaining my situation and my concerns, she showed absolutely zero compassion (every person I've spoken to since my miscarriage has been so incredibly compassionate and even apologized that I have to be going through this). Dr. Kopf? She couldn't give two f#$%s what you're going through. Ultimately, she was of no help, couldn't answer one of my biggest concerns. She sounded so annoyed to be on the phone with me and made all of her answers short, as if she just wanted to be done with the conversation. I hope to never see her since the physicians at this office rotate.
