I couldn't ask for a more openminded, thoughtful, compassionate, competent doctor. Dr. Rosenfeld has been managing our son's severe heart disease since he became acutely ill 2 1/2 years ago. More than any other doctor I've met in my life, Dr. Rosenfeld breaks very complicated things down into plain English and is very open to input from us as parents. I really feel like he's been a partner in our son's care, not the BOSS, in the best possible way. When we decided not to list our son for a heart transplant, he made it clear he totally respected our decision and jumped right in with other medical treatment options. Even when things looked really grim, he remained optimistic, without negating how hard things were. He's helped us feel empowered and is very flexible in terms of trying things we want to try and explaining why he thinks different options might be useful or not useful. He has a great sense of humor, relaxed and kind bedside manner and is very approachable. We love Dr. Hunkypants, as we call him in our house :-) read more

Where do I start? Dr. Rosenfeld is beyond amazing. He has provided exceptional care for my daughter, and really our entire family, since before she was born. We learn of our daughter's heart condition prior to her birth which gave us the opportunity to meet multiple doctors and educate ourselves around her condition. After meeting Dr. Rosenfeld, we knew he was our doctor. In addition to giving our daughter the best cardiac care possible, Dr. Rosenfeld patiently educates us on very complex cardiac issues and makes them understandable. He has had to explain the same thing to us a number of times, but never rushes or gets frustrated with us. (Or if he does get frustrated, he doesn't show it!) He cares for our daughter with unmatched compassion and love. His bedside manner is wonderful. He makes all of us feel at peace. Every time something would go "wrong" we would feel so much better within 10 minutes of talking to Dr. Rosenfeld because he always had it under control and had a plan. He is always reachable and available to address any concern - big or small. What better recommendation that to say we trust him with our daughter's fragile life. And it is true - we trust him completely. We feel very blessed to be in the Bay Area which affords us access to some of the best doctors in the world. Dr. Rosenfeld is absolutely a blessing in our lives. read more

Dr. Rosenfeld has been our child's cardiologist for over 10 years and we without any reservations would recommend him to any parent seeking the best cardiac care possible for their child. Dr. Rosenfeld has gone out of his way to ensure that our child received leading edge care even when it was only available in a limited number of centers nationwide. He really cares, he is extremely competent, and it all shows. read more

This is for Ines Sherifi…read more... A hollow performance masquerading as medical care. My appointment with Ines Sherifi was among the most demoralizing encounters I've ever had with a physician. She entered the room with visible irritation, offered no greeting of substance, and spoke to me with the weary impatience of someone forced to endure an unwanted obligation. Each attempt I made to explain my concerns or medical history was met with sighs, interruptions, and an unmistakable air of disdain. The examination itself was perfunctory--one cursory pass with a stethoscope, a few perfunctory remarks, and she was gone. The entire interaction lasted only minutes, yet my insurance was billed close to $1,000. There was no inquiry, no empathy, no sense of responsibility toward the patient before her. What should have been a moment of care felt more like a business transaction stripped of all humanity. I left feeling belittled, dismissed, and ashamed for having expected decency. If your hope is to find a physician who listens, explains, or treats you as more than a billing opportunity, I would strongly advise seeking care elsewhere.

Good job MarinHealth for addressing the problem I mentioned in my previous review. Interactions…read morewith this office now are more often than not satisfactory and the staff who take the calls are pleasant.

Husband & I find Strunk to be a mixture: Skilled…read more& arrogant ----being skilled is more important to us) Up-to-date but a little risky ----prescribed a med for husband that was inappropriate & rather than change he kept trying to make it work. Ultimately, last week, our GP changed med to one that works beautifully. Cutting edge & experimental--- which can be good or not good, depending on the person/condition. BUT Strunk isn't an easy man to discuss things with (so that's why he gets only 3 stars-- would've liked to give him 3.5 but that option not possible) If you question things, as we did, suddenly he rises up on a throne. We would've stayed with him-- forgiving his pushiness for his "my way or the highway" & his general inability to engage in conversation as if patient(s) actually are able to accurately report on how they're feeling. Strunk is highly skilled. But we met a much nicer, equally skilled (actually brilliant) cardiologist (who's also a woman)--yes!

Dr. Wexman had been recommended by a friend who's mother received care from him. I found him to be a great listener and very compassionate. He reviewed my records and made several recommendations for ongoing care. After Kaiser received a copy of the consult, my care really suffered! In fact, when I presented to Kaiser ER with chest pain, they tried to pass it off as indigestion. Long story short,I had a heart attack and was brought to Marin General as it was the closest facility and Dr Wexman was on call for cardiology. What a relief! My initial impression was spot on. He was excellent, explained everything to me and my family, compassionate, caring, and just made me feel better. I am switching my insurance from Kaiser just so I can continue follow up care with him, even though Marin is quite the distance from Vallejo.

Dr. Tagliaferri listened to my concerns, asked key questions, and then thoughtfully explained potential diagnoses...it was easy to speak to her and I could clearly understand what she was thinking. I really appreciated that she did not dismiss my concerns because I am an atypical patient; she was very thorough. I am so, so glad I went to see her because I was referred (very quickly due to Dr. Tagliaferri's perseverance - she got my appointment moved up by a week and a half!) to a top-notch cardiologist who is very concerned about ruling out a serious issue. She even told me questions that I should ask the cardiologist! Dr. Tagliaferri really took the time to listen, investigate and understand what I was experiencing and I am truly grateful for her knowledge, compassion, and attentiveness. It makes me feel so much better to know I can put my health in such good hands.

All I can say is when your pediatrician tells you that your 5 day old baby's heart is going so fast he can't count the beats... you-want-Dr.Rosenfeld. He got us in for a consult at Childrens Hospital Oakland immediately (and totally last minute), and from the moment he was our doctor, he has been 100% available, attentive, involved, informative, and comforting every single step of the way. For a new mother who was very postpartum and emotional, feeling how invested he was in my baby's care was so reassuring. Even though it was a stressful and scary experience, we were so completely looked after and cared for by Dr. Rosenfeld as well as EVERYONE at CHO, and I actually look back at that time with fond memories. That was all exactly a year ago, we still have to meet with him regularly, and Dr. Rosenfeld's care has not changed. From the beginning, we have been extremely grateful for our son's exceptional care from Dr. Rosenfeld and the others at CHO. When you are faced with a situation like ours, you want the best. And it honestly doesnt get better than Dr. Rosenfeld. [As a side note: Before all of this, our older son needed surgery and we were referred to UCSF. That experience, while "good", was very business-as-usual, not personal at all, and average, which is fine! But then, with our experience at CHO, we were able to see the CLEAR difference between the standards of care, personal attention, and overall experience, and we would without a doubt choose CHO if ever in the position again.] read more

Just came back from Oakland Children's hospital today, and this visit has prompted me to sign up for yelp just for Dr. Rosenfeld. On the way home, a Chinese set phrase came to my mind, 仁心仁术，this is to describe a doctor must possess both kind heart, 仁心 and good cure 仁术. My first hand experience told me, Dr. Rosenfeld is just that. He's got very gentle manners with my daughter. Explains things very clearly in layman language to us seems effortless for him. On top of it, quite naturally he inspires confidence and trust in a matter of 10 mins after we met. We came in worrying for my infant daughter's heart murmurs, and we exit relieved, our spirits lit up again. Although we are just traveling here and seeing him again might mean something bad happening to our daughter, we would very much like to meet with Dr. Rosenfeld if he ever passes by Beijing or Hong Kong. Deep in my heart, I envy the other east bay parents who can come in to see Dr. Rosenfeld so easily. By all means I would recommend Dr. Rosenfeld whole-heatedly. He made me believe tv series like ER or House are not fictional :-) read more

Dr. Rosenfeld has been our daughters cardiologist since she was 5 days old and now she is 13 ! Our daughter was transported to Children's Hospital Oakland when her pediatrician realized there was something wrong with her heart. My husband and I were scared to death, and this being our first child, we had no idea what was really going on. After some initial testing, Dr. Rosenfeld was there to explain to us what was wrong with our daughters heart, and he explained it to us on a level we could understand, along with drawing some pictures for us !! I still have them LOL... Anyway, long story short, a surgery was completed and she's been good ever since !! We now see Dr. Rosenfeld once a year and he is always wonderful. When I was pregnant with my second baby, he even did an ultrasound to make sure that the baby didn't have heart problems as well. He also predicted I was having a girl ~ He was right ! We all love Dr. Rosenfeld. We couldn't have asked for a better doctor, or a better hospital for our daughters treatment. He is truly blessed with a special talent. read more

Dr. Rosenfeld helps our daughter with her Turner Syndrome Heart condition. His professional approach is extremely commendable and his complete and thorough attention to detail is always greatly appreciated. We have stayed under the care of Dr. Rosenfeld and he kindly spoke at two of our Conferences, helping expand the knowledge to other patients. We are absolutely indebted to Dr. Rosenfeld for his expertise, kindness, incredible bedside manner, being fully attentive to our daughter, working with her directly at all times and his great respect towards our family also . Dr. Rosenfeld has played a huge part in helping connect/educate and advance the knowledge of heart issues for our family and so many others facing the challenges of such a huge medical condition - HEART PROBLEMS - We highly recommend Dr Rosenfeld in all capacities - you will be very comforted to be under his guidance. We sincerely are grateful to have him on our team. He is a life saver!! read more

My husband and I were first referred to Dr. Rosenfeld when our 2-year old son was diagnosed with a heart murmur. And then, we increased his case load two years later when our daughter was born and she had a murmur as well. Fortunately, both of our children had mild problems. My son's condition eventually corrected itself (well, mostly!) and my daughter had surgury last year to current her condition. Both my husband and I think that Dr. Rosenfeld is wonderful. He has a terrific way with children. Some of the procedures they go through might scare them (such as an Echocardiogram or EKG), but when it comes letting Dr. Rosenfeld getting to listen to their hearts - they are just fine. It doesn't hurt that he also makes the parents feel as if everything is going to be alright. If you are going to have Dr. Rosenfeld - trust me, you child is in good hands. read more

We take our daughter, who has an ASD, to Dr. Rosenfeld. Our pediatrician had originally referred us to a different pediatric cardiologist, but I had worked in bay area healthcare for a few years and knew that I wanted a cardiologist affiliated with Children's Hospital Oakland. Dr. Rosenfeld has an amazing reputation in the medical community, and I couldn't be happier with his care for my daughter. He has a wonderful bedside manner with young children and explained everything in detail to my husband and I. He takes his time, we did not feel rushed in any way. He explained what our options are, and he made us feel so much better about everything. I like that he didn't make my daughter go through anything that wasn't necessary. He has daughters of his own, and I truly feel that my daughter is in wonderful hands. His echo tech is great with kids too. read more

We met Dr. Rosenfeld this past November when my sixteen year old daughter was experiencing a rapid heart beat. She is a competitive athlete which made it a bit more intense as well. She since has been diagnosed and treated with surgery for a re-entry tachycardia condition. It was a scary time for our entire family. Dr. Rosenfeld was an amazing doctor. He was patient and calm with our daughter. He explained everything really well and eased our minds tremendously. We were always treated with respect and would recommend Dr. Rosenfeld completely! He was kind and thoughtful! He is a terrific doctor and warrants our deepest recommendation. read more

Dr. Rosenfeld and the rest of the team at Children's Hospital in Oakland are the most wonderful and caring people that you could ever get in you time of trial and need. My son, Nick, had bacterial endocarditis when he was 11 and by God's grace was saved at Children's Hospital by Dr. Rosenfeld and the many other doctors and nurses. That was 11 years ago and now Nick is studying to be a Radiologic Assistant in Seattle, engaged to a wonderful girl, and doing great! Thanks Dr. Rosenfeld!!! read more

No one wants to hear they need to bring their child to see a cardiologist. The world of pediatric cardiology can be confusing and sometimes frightening and Dr. Rosenfeld makes a wonderful guide.

Dr. Rosenfeld is definitely the best doctor I have ever been to! I had open heart surgery twice when I was 11 years old at Children's Hospital in Oakland, CA. He was my cardiologist while I was there. He was always there for me and was very helpful and very nice. I would still be going to him for checkups if I hadn't have moved out of state! I highly recommend him! read more
