Since this practice removed my original: I had a terrible experience with this "provider." She was HORRID and TERRIBLE to ME. Then she had the gall to have my review removed. She was rude, took away any choice I had, bullied me, ignored everything I had to say, and in my opinion her conduct fell way below the standards of the medical profession/standard of care. Even now she continues to jeopardize my health/healthcare. Do not go to this provider. read more

Without getting into the particulars, I did not have a good experience with Dr. Fang. I had originally been a patient of Dr. Gregory's. But when she left the practice, I was shuffled over to Dr. Fang. I disagree with other comments regarding her bedside manner. I am not a sensitive person, but I found her attempts at joking to ease my discomfort inappropriate and even offensive. My husband was shocked at her remarks and we weren't even able to respond. Needless to say, we were not laughing along with her. After the experience, I picked up my file and moved to a new OB/GYN. read more

My first appointment with Dr. Fang was a bit sad. 11 weeks pregnant, she had to let us know that we had miscarried. But Dr Fang could not have been more caring. Since then, we got pregnant again and gave birth to a beautiful girl. While I appreciate her warmth and the fact that she really takes time to answer your questions, I would say her best quality is her conservative approach to pregnancy. Late in my pregnancy, I mentioned that I wasn't feeling as much movement. To be safe, she sent me in immediately for an ultrasound and monitoring at a specialized clinic downtown (I'm sorry that I don't remember the name). Thank goodness! Turned out my level of amniotic fluid was so low, we almost ended up in an emergency c-section. We were able to get the fluid level up into the normal range and the rest of the pregnancy and birth went smoothly. I will comment that my scarring from the c-section was greater than with our first child, and I still had intermittent incision pain over a year after the birth. I don't know, though, if those experiences had anything to do with Dr Fang's skills as a surgeon. Also, having had several miscarriages, the d&c Dr. Fang performed after our first appointment was much more uncomfortable that previous such procedures. That said, these observations are not enough to reduce the 5-star rating - she is just wonderful in all the areas that are important. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Fang for about 8 years or more now. As it is.... going to an OBGYN is uncomfortable, but Dr. Fang is the sweetest most competent OBGYN I HAVE ever been to. When she has been on maternity leave I have been scheduled to see other staff and I have never been disappointed. She always has a way to make you feel calm and relaxed. She listened to everything you have to say and follows through, no matter if they have decided there was nothing to worry about. I rather be safe than sorry and she has absolutely no problem with that. I recently went to see her when another Dr. thought he found some lump of some sort... being that I am young and fairly healthy... I wasn't too worried, but then reading about other young women that ignore signs... I said... let me call her up! I called and they scheduled me in right away... even if I had just been two months prior with clear exams... thankfully it was all good... but it sure was worth my sanity and she understood that. Thank you Dr. Fang! I highly recommend Dr. Fang and all of the staff that works with her at the California St. location. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Fang. She is so nice, thoughtful, knowledgable, thorough, funny, and caring. Everything you need from an OB...especially if it's your first time w child! The office is like being at a spa: so clean, modern, nice furniture, with considerate staff. It doesn't feel like a doctors office at all- which I love. Parking is never an issue either! read more

I've seen Dr. Fang since 2000 and always appreciate how she tries to put me at ease about whatever has to be done during the appointment. When a doctor has a warm personality like hers, it helps patients feel more comfortable to talk about any issues or concerns that they may have without feeling "brushed off". It also helps that she has a "light" touch. The wait time varies, but I think that's the norm for a lot of ob practices. read more

Dr. Fang is so wonderful... i cant even begin to tell everyone what she has done for me and my family. I was put on bedrest at CPMC at week 24 and was there until week 34. I could not have done it without her positive encouragement and daily visits. She always entered my room with a smile and helped me feel more at ease. She knew my body and what worked more than anyone else and I trusted her with my babys life and it felt right. Thank you again Dr Fang! I dont know how to thank you enough for everything you did. Youre amazing and im so thankful i have you as my Dr. read more

Dr. Fang was on call when I was induced with my first child and she was amazing! She was totally calm, walked me through everything, and made me feel very well taken care of. She a great doctor with amazing bedside manner. read more

I went to see Dr. Fang for the first time today, and I thought she was fantastic! This is how my interaction with her started: I got onto a very crowded elevator with my two year old on the way up to my appointment, and in steps this very friendly and happy woman in scrubs. She smiles at my son and clearly gets a kick out of him naming all the Superheroes on a picture he's holding, and he is pleased as punch that someone else cares about the Hulk and Captain America. To be honest, I was pretty sure she was a nurse, because she was so friendly and interactive... no offense to doctors, but she really was particularly approachable. In my head, I'm actually thinking "wow, she's going to the same floor, wouldn't it be amazing if she actually turned out to be Dr. Fang, but nah... that's pretty unlikely" Well, it was my lucky day, because when I walked in to her office, there she was again. She smiled at us both and said "Hey! It's the Superhero boy!" to my son. The appointment went really well, and I am so happy that I switched over to her practice! I previously saw the doctors and midwives from the UCSF FOGG group, and although it wasn't an easy decision to switch, I am glad I did it. It really came down to the fact that 90% of the care I received during my labor and delivery with my son was from the residents, and quite frankly, I feel like I have done my part for education. Now what I really want is to see experienced and familiar faces for all of my girlie-doctor needs! read more

I became a patient of doctor Fang's late in my pregnancy. I was about 8 months along when I met her and wish I had been with her since the beginning. She read over my whole chart from my previous doctor and made sure that everything was up to date and that she knew everything that was going on with my pregnancy. Her calm and easy going spirit always put me at ease. Unfortunetly she was not at the hospital the night I delivered, but she showed up the next morning to check on my son and me. All in all Dr. Fang is a great doctor and I would highly recommend her to all my family and friends. read more

I have just had the most wonderful experience with Dr. Fang! Dr. Fang has been my doctor for about a year and she is just so easy to talk to, kind, caring and knowledgeable. It is rare to find a doctor with such great bedside manner. Dr. Fang goes above and beyond. For example, when I went through some testing, Dr. Fang called me with the test results on the same day -- I were so pleasantly surprised because it was 5:30PM on a Friday and she was about to leave for vacation! It meant so much to me that she would take time out of her busy schedule to call because she knew I was anxious to hear the results. Dr. Fang gives great advice and really helps you understand everything! On top of that, the staff at Golden Gate Obstetrics & Gynecology is great. They are professional, efficient and also are so nice! They are always a pleasure to deal with...again a rarity in doctors offices! I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Fang and the practice -- I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Fang!! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Fang's for at least 10 years, and while she is fantastic, I cannot wait to sign up to a different doctor due to her pathetic office. Her office has simply the worst service you will ever encounter. After a decade of giving her firm my insurance money, I had to reschedule one appointment this year due to work and was told the waiting list to get back on to see her was three months long. I was never able to get back into her schedule because the few times they had open in the last four months of 2012, I had work appointments. They have moved to one of the least accessible locations in the City, where you have to pay $9/hour for parking (since there's little public transportation to the new site). Because you're apt to wait a half-hour or more, better count that as $18. Try to contact them. Just try it. Any phone option will send you into a hold pattern of at least 20 minutes (if you want to waste that much time trying). Leave a message and the voicemail says they might get back to you within 24 hours. Wow! Can you imagine someone in the private sector doing that? Seems they don't need any more business or favorable reviews. Then my insurance made a silly mistake, and her office wouldn't follow up. I sorted it out with the insurance company, but two months later I still have no idea whether her office finalized the payment. One person called me but wouldn't leave his name. They won't call me back now, and I can't find anyone to answer the phone. Must be nice to have moved to an ultra-swishy new office where you put the doctor and staff first before any patient needs. read more

Let me start off by saying that Dr. Fang is not only an accomplished doctor/OB, she is an amazing person who exudes positive energy. She makes time to hear her patients and she takes time to really care for her patients. She delivered both of my kids, and she's a staple in my life. Before her, I dreaded OB visits. Weirdly, I look forward to seeing her for my annual and she always takes the time to talk about my health, what I should do for myself, and of course, asks about my family. She's a rare find. Even the nurses that delivered along side her, and who were making rounds told me that I was so lucky to be in her care. She really has the best demeanor. Despite some of the reviews here with any negative comments, I hold myself out to be a pretty picky person, and I feel it is a disservice to not share how incredible she is. She made pregnancy an amazing and non-stressful situation for me, and she helped bring my two healthy kids into this world. I love this woman! read more

Dr. Fang is simply the best. She has been my lady doctor for 8 years. I can only speak of my gynecological appointments with her as I have not experienced the OB side. I had some fibroids removed by her a few years ago and both my husband and mother were bowled over by how caring she was when she spoke to them after I got out of surgery. My husband is a man of few words and for him to comment on his impression of Dr. Fang says a lot. Dr. Fang's manner, attention, care and knowledge is why I would never to chose to go to another gyno. I actually look forward to my yearly appointments with her! And really, with the number of patients coming to the office, the front desk and everyone else is quite nice and take care of my paperwork quite well. read more

I had a really bad experience with the front office. They were incredibly rude and dismissive, telling me that it would be months before the doctor could see me since they need to schedule a 1/2 hour initial appt and dr. fang usually only sees patients for 10 minutes. read more

Dr. Fang is the best. Incredibly personable and a truly great doctor to go to during both good times and bad. Her bedside manner which is a wonderful combination of optimism and equanimity is a fabulous. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Jane Fang for over 9 years. I found her by accident and absolutely LOVE her!! She is very down-to-earth and has the greatest bedside manner. She listens and really cares and since she has had kids of her own, she has a great sense of humor and can really laugh about the trials and tribulations of pregnancy, delivery and raising kids. She delivered our two children, ages 4 1/2 and 2. She even agreed to work with us regarding the attempted avoidance of a c-section with our first child, who was transverse. But, sometimes Mother Nature has different ideas and you just have to roll with what the Good Lord brings! The only positives to c-sections are that they are scheduled in advance, which ensured that Dr. Fang would deliver them. Unfortunately, the doctors in her practice are on an on-call rotation so, whomever is on duty when you go into labor, is the person who will help deliver the baby. And even with routine check-ups, she makes the process so easy and enjoyable. I really like the staff but they are incredibly busy. The only downside: in recent years, she has become so popular that you really need to call a few months in advance for appointments. read more

Dr. Fang is a wonderful gynocologist. She's such a sweet and cheerful lady; she puts you at ease right away. She delivered my baby boy, and everything went well in my opinion. She also did my annual checkup, and she is thorough and gentle. Two issues that I've noticed are: 1. She's very popular, so it's hard to schedule with her sometimes, but you can always see her colleagues but emphasize that you want her to deliver your baby. 2. She is part of a group practice, so if you deliver at night, you may get the "on-call gynolocogist" instead of her -- glad it wasn't a problem for me. :) read more

Wonderful doctor! She delivered my son at CPMC with skill and compassion. She also came into the hospital on her day off to do his circumcision. Dr. Fang goes above and beyond for her patients. In addition, her group's office is well run. The wait time in the office to see the doctor is usually minimal. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Fang for many years now and I find her to be friendly and kind. She has a good bedside manner and I always enjoy seeing her. I do highly recommend her although I think the latest move of the practice to the Spa/ GYN office seems an odd mix to me. read more
