PCPs in general are a challenge to find in my area, and thankfully she "appeared" just at the right time. I've hit have period where symptoms and remedies can interact, overlap and confuse and Dr. Beale is a star for identifying cause and untangling treatment and drug interactions. Upbeat, proactive and positive, I'm confident I've found a partner for the third chapter in my life.

I started seeing Dr. Beal as my primary care physician earlier this year after switching insurance…read morein February. I was dealing with several new medical diagnoses at the time--which is never ideal when transitioning to a new doctor--but Dr. Beal has been absolutely incredible. This is my first experience with a provider outside of Kaiser, and I can honestly say I've never felt so heard or understood by a doctor. I used to think the doctors on TV who really get to know their patients were fictional--but not with Dr. Beal! She takes her time, never rushes appointments, and genuinely listens. She encourages questions and never makes me feel silly for asking anything, no matter how basic it might seem. Dr. Beal is working with me to build a care plan that actually fits me--not a one-size-fits-all solution. I'm honestly so thankful that I had to leave Kaiser, because it led me to her. Highly recommend!

Dr. Himmelvo is the best GP I have ever seen. Ever…read more I have a chronic illness and have seen many, many doctors in my lifetime. She is the first one who I feel really listens to me and trusts my knowledge of my own body. She asks extremely helpful questions, and explains exactly what she is thinking and why. She is friendly, kind, approachable, observant, and very intelligent. She also seems interested in complimentary approaches and not necessarily just shoving pills down your throat, though she's perfectly willing to prescribe medicine if necessary. I went in last night and she spent 30-45 minutes talking with me and examining me. No kidding. In most offices you're lucky to get 5 minutes with the actual doctor! My husband and I have both been extremely impressed with her level of service and commitment to her patients. We have found our family doctor, for as long as she stays in practice! Also, for those worried about the distance to Point Richmond, we're in Oakland, and it only takes 15 minutes to get there. Very convenient!

She first started out as our…read morenewborn's doctor, then we loved her intellect, listening ear, and compassion so much, my husband and I decided to drop our other GP and go to her. So, now Dr. Himmelvo is our family doctor. The energy of her office and practice is very clean (spiritually and physically). She truly cares about her patients, does not display any egotistical or arrogant behavior (which many doctors appear to love doing when you may not agree with them), and has a wonderful spirit. She also does housecalls for an extra fee, which is an amazing thing that many GPs have stopped doing.

When I first met her years ago, I had just survived being a medical experiment in Guatemala (now there's a story!) and was fully fed up with western medicine and its egotistical butchers, and had little faith or patience with its practitioners. On a whim I tried the naturopathic approach and she turned me around 180 degrees with the anti-inflammation dietary approach. Naturopaths know far more about healing systems and dietary effects than traditional doctors. They have "evolved" beyond western medicine. They are also not shy about using other modalities, they go for what really works. Dr. Karen as a practitioner is gentle and wise, patient and incredibly attentive and clear. Kindness just flows from her. She is the first doctor I have ever looked forward to going to see, by far. She has that special je ne sais quoi... She is super smart and knows Spanish and handled my Spanish medical records no problem btw! She just all around rocks. Can you say that about your doctor? Let Dr. Karen Peters help you. I bet she changes your life :)

I had called in originally to…read moresee if they were able to fit me in for a last min appointment, and thankfully they had a physician's assistant who was able to see me the next day. I had changed insurance due to a recent job change, so I was a bit apprehensive going to a different health care professional from my former primary care physician. But thankfully the process was pretty smooth. After having completed the extensive line of questioning posed to me during the initial phone appointment, they gave me a few pages to read and sign when I first arrived and I was good to go in fairly short order. They have a security guard in the front who asks you the standard COVID questions and has you use hand sanitizer, but I was a bit surprised there were not acrylic barriers protecting the receptionists and nurses behind the desk from incoming patients. Everyone I encountered during my visit was very friendly, and the PA took his time to listen to my concerns and addressed them accordingly. Parking is readily available for free in the lot outside. And overall the area felt pretty safe, clean, and spacious.

I went in for a standard physical and ended up being charged $247 for a (20-30 minute) doctor's office visit in addition to the $435 for my preventative health visit. They charged me the $247 because the doctor wrote a prescription for a minor problem I mentioned that took less than 5 minutes. In fact my whole visit including the preventative care portion took less than 20 minutes. After much arguing, Sutter finally reversed this fraudulent bill. My wife and my children have all had similar situations where Sutter significantly overcharged us. Dr. Ram herself is okay, but Sutter Health is a fraudulent organization out to overcharge you.
