Dr. Manney is the real thing in osteopathy!…read more I'm familiar with this medical care office through being a patient of the other DO at this site. Once when she was not available, I 'tried' Dr. Manney. I was very happy with the results: relaxation of my injured muscles, meaning the nerves finally were relaxing more, overall sense of wellness. She has good bedside manner, is informative when I had questions, but not chatty. When I go for a treatment, I want to focus on breathing and being "in" my body, relaxing, and really getting the full benefit of the treatment. Sometimes I get distracted and start talking. She did not interfere with my experience in that way. She has a lovely touch and seems very knowledgeable about the body and the practice of osteopathy. Thank you Dr. Manney!

I've had upper left neck and shoulder tension and pain for three years. I've done acupuncture,…read moreyoga, chiropractic and massage, all with limited results. I decided to try osteopathy, and booked a session with Avon. Wow! In one session, my neck felt completely different! Though the work was subtle and gentle, I could tell that I was in the hands of a skilled healer and that changes were taking place. After the session was over, my neck was so much more limber and fluid, and the pain was gone. I know the scope of her work is much broader than just musculoskeletal issues, but on that score alone, she gets my highest recommendation. If you're suffering from musculoskeletal pain and tension, go see Avon. She's the real deal.

Everything was "normal", but I still had terrible stomach pain every day. A friend with some similar issues told me about Dr. Leong. I made an appointment and saw her in her office. There is no waiting for her in her office and it is a calm, quiet environment. She spent well over an hour with me going over my issues and ordered a couple of more tests just to rule out some additional things. She had suggestions as to a couple of different homeopathic things to try. I followed her suggestions and began to feel better soon. We had another in person meeting and a couple of phone meetings. She even took the time to do some further research and emailed me more suggestions. I was getting ready for joint replacement surgery and I was terrified about what the medications post surgery would do to my stomach. Dr. Leong worked closely with me to find alternatives to some of the harsh drugs that are typical post surgery. My stomach came through it all with flying colors.

I saw her initially because I was exhausted from gut-associated panic episodes which severely limited my ability to exercise. She works deeply, attentively, responsively and quietly. After a few months of treatment, my body began to come back into equilibrium and I regained my ability to exercise and enjoy the outdoors. It was like getting out of captivity! An added benefit: her warm and humorous receptionist Teri serves as a discreet gatekeeper for each session - I always look forward to our hello's. Though I have gone well past the point of healing from the issues that first led me to Dr. Rochette, I continue to see her regularly because of a remarkable shift in paradigm: I have come to see through this work that beyond learning to listen to the body, I have become aware that the body itself is listening.

She works with the whole body, intuitively knowing how each part is interconnected, affecting one another. Dr. Rochette is one of many practitioners I have seen for this challenging illness, and I choose to continue to see her over others because of her ability to continue to support my body as my needs shift and change. Her knowledge, expertise and understanding of the body feels like magic - but I know magic is only part of it - she is truly well trained and continuously learning how she can better support her clients. Two different people recommended her to me - one friend who had a crushed pelvis and another with whip lash. Both women sang her praises, as I am today.

I brought an MRI study for documentation. She gave me a very nice back massage. She did not touch affected shoulder area. She did not even glance at the MRI. She gave me (what sounded like) a very dismissive, standard palliative on breathing (to open my shoulder area) and sent me on my way to the receptionist who billed me $375. No manipulation. No evaluation or diagnosis. No directives or advice for exercises or stretching. My take was she did not want to take my case (probably because she had no idea how to approach it). Weeks later there is no change to my chronic pain despite my extra breathing. From my experience, it is the receptionist who seems to know the most about osteopathic practices in that office. In the past I have had good experience with osteopathic practitioners. Dr. Rochette does not belong in that league.

For the first time, I've never felt like I had to fight to be heard, advocate for necessary testing, or push for the care I needed. Instead, I feel supported and respected every step of the way. My health has improved tremendously under Dr. Tarantino's care, and I've lost over 40 pounds. I truly credit her guidance, encouragement, and dedication to helping me achieve better health. I couldn't recommend Dr. Tarantino more highly. As far as I'm concerned, she's stuck with me for life!

It is likely that the spine in my neck sustained significant damage which was discovered via MRI after the insurance case was closed. The spinal injury radiates down my shoulder. The first time I experienced this was right after the car accident. Now I am absorbing the cost of medical mistakes once again. So far it has cost me $3000 in lost wages and likely $8000 in medical cost. It will likely cost me several more thousands in lost wages. A simple 3 minutes assessment and some imaging would have prevent this. I just paid off another medical error that cost me $5000, that could have been prevented by a doctor at her practice. Her response-pay payments-knowing full well that I have previously experienced additional financial loss due to medical errors. It took me 6 years to go back to the doctor after the first experience, only to experience more preventable errors from her and her office. This, after another experience event under her care in which my records are false causing more harm- emotionally, physically, and financially. Correct medical records could have help me recover emotionally, physically, and financially from previous medical errors. She said she wanted to advocate for me and help. The next breath she threw me under the bus. She was angry how I was treated by previous providers, then turns around and does the same thing, but worse. On a level from 1-10 mental anguish due to medical errors and lack of accountability from those who brush off valid concerns and cause intentional additional trauma is about 10000000/10. I am so done absorbing the cost of incompetence. I really wish we had a competent medical board in CA to take valid concerns.

My husband had been admitted to the hospital twice in the past for medical emergencies -- he received only the best care from Dr. O and the San Ramon Medical Center and recovered both times. During one of the medical emergencies, at night and on a weekend, I called Dr. O's office, and he personally took the call himself -- most Dr's would have an answering service taking the calls! Not only did he advise me on all the proper steps to take for the next 24 hours, but I felt reassured as always that my husband was in excellent hands and in the hands of a caring doctor. We had to sadly switch health plans a year ago, as employers have made it so difficult to have private care. I cannot wait for changes to our employers health plans so we can return to Dr. O as our primary care provider. As for greeting us , on a normal basis he often would greet us with "Oh, you made it!" meaning "You were able to keep the appointment, I'm glad to see you!" We feel blessed to have been under the care of such a top notch doctor and would highly recommend him to anyone.
