First time visiting this clinic due to a referral from an emergency room visit. Plenty of parking…read morewhen arrived very early in the morning. The front entrance has a security/ front desk that provided exact location of the clinic because its a big building and I looks like its easy to get lost in there in my opinion. Typical waiting even with an appointment. Clinic looks new, neat and clean. Good customer service from front desk person. Looks like a fast paced busy clinic based on the people in the waiting area. There is a small tv but is off, it would be nice if there is a big tv or multiple tvs so people won't get bored waiting. We were called around 7:20 for a 7:00 appointment. During our brief visit, Dr Kofoed was pleasant, calm, not rushing, showed the photo of the xray and able to explain everything we need to know. I was able to schedule the next follow up appointment and will update the next experience based on that.

He is a very kind and caring man who takes his time and is very clear in his explanations. It was a pleasure to work with him, and I will likely go back to have the finger taken care of if it doesn't clear up. I highly recommend him as a kind of doctor that we're all looking for. His office staff was also very helpful and pleasurable to work with.

No return call. Called the ER and they called their office. They told ER there was a problem with my insurance and they would call me later today. Both were lies. I had already called my insurance and was told I would have a higher copay because it was out of network and everything was fine. I did billing and coding for doctors, clinics, and Orthopedic doctors for over 35 years so I know how it works. I finally got a call 2 days later. If I or my employees ran our facilities like this, we would be out of a job. Very bad customer service.

The secretaries of this building and the office are a bunch of incompetent, condescending witches…read more I had a right shoulder injury that broke it and required surgery and I kept calling them to try to get ahold of my doctor I saw. They came back after a 3 minute wait and said "we can't find em" let's. Just switch your Dr. I'm like okay? So They did and he saw me and started the whole process over again which took 2 weeks. He saw me and scheduled surgery. He said "talk to the secretary to get the dr. Note." So I did, I said I needed it asap. They said it would take 1 day to send it through email...it took almost the entire month to get it filled out after calling back 5 TIMES. And each time they gave me a snippy attitude AS IF I WERE IN THE WRONG. In the actual surgery room they asked me if it was my left or right arm. I said right obviously that's where the Injury and sling is. "They told me oh I guess it was an orthopedic secretary who wrote down the wrong information" THEY ALMOST OPERATED ON THE WRONG SHOULDER BECAUSE OF THESE INCOPMATENT SECRETARIES. and yet they have the disrespect of a snotty teenage brat towards the patient who sustained injury to no fault of his own. I definitely dont need to feel like im burdening or angering them by calling in and asking for help. I treat them respectfully and all do is dish out is attitude after several times being PROVEN they are in the wrong.; without fail I might add. Replace these people. They have no idea how to treat desperate patients.

Dr Birkbeck is awesome! The Nursing Staff is awesome!…read more The receptionists service was AWFUL! My experience with the front, the receptionist, was AWFUL. I sat for over 30 min after my scheduled appointment time, I even waited approximately 15 min to ask when I was going to be seen and why a patient that came in after me was being called before me and the receptionist said with a superior tone, "some patients need x rays and there are different doctors" (I literally heard the patient called for the same doctor as me), and then I was told by the nurse "I'm sorry about the wait, you were never checked in". To me that is unacceptable, it wasn't even that busy in the front, why wasn't I checked in by the receptionist? The way the receptionist dealt with me and my situation made me feel like she was looking down on me, like I was stupid or something. I'm very observant and pay attention to things. I had other appointments to get to, I even came in early.

I've seen Dr. Birkbeck twice, one for each wrist roughly a year apart…read more The first experience, I never got a clear answer, even after an MRI and cortisone injection, as to why I was in pain. The second experience I chose Dr. Birkbeck because I thought I was an existing patient since it'd only been a year (turns out, I wasn't. They charged my insurance for a new patient exam...the bill in and of itself is a whole other issue.) I had been in a motorcycle accident on 7/6 and received a diagnosis in the ER for a left wrist fracture. When I showed up 4 days post accident, he took me out of the ER splint, put me in a cock-up wrist brace and sent me on my way for another week. Then he puts it in his records that I agreed to the brace! (I would have much preferred a cast for the stability) He also spent less than 10 minutes with me in the exam room, and I wasn't swollen at this point. I then go back, at this point 10 days post accident, and get follow up x-rays in which he informs me there's been no change...well no kidding duh! I can remove the brace to shower (he told me I could) and it was not stable enough so it was moving! I then explain to him that with my work, the brace wasn't stable enough for me and he says, and I quote "I'm glad you told me. We can switch it up or I can put you in a cast, IF YOU'D LIKE". What is this, patient is the doctor for the day?! So I opt for the cast, and his medical assistant Crystal puts it on way too loosely. I have to come back in two days later for a new cast to be put on! Luckily, this time around, Taylor Luis (his other medical assistant) apologized that I had to come back in and she cut off the loose cast and put me in a new, much more secure, one. Again, this appointment, the doc spent less than 10 minutes with me. I was then told to follow up in 4 weeks. They cut me out of the cast, took x-rays, and put me in the room. The doc comes back and says "your x-rays are looking great and you're healing up nicely. I'm going to put you back in a brace for two to three weeks and then I'd like you to start moving and using your wrist. But I don't need to see you again, unless you feel it necessary, and I don't think you'll need physical therapy". So I say "Oh so I'm healed?" and he says "No, you're healing"...So 5.5 weeks post-fracture, and he sends me on my way, not fully healed, and doesn't need to see me again? Didn't seem right. Especially after yet again another 10 minute appointment. I am now 8.5 weeks post accident, still in a brace because the pain is so bad I almost went back on opioids, and am going to eat the cost to see another doctor for a second opinion. Keep in mind, this was not a compound fracture that required surgery, a simple distal radius fracture. I would have given 0-1 stars if it weren't for his medical assistant, Taylor Luis. She has been extremely pleasant and helpful. When I called for my request for medical records to be sent to another doctor, she was very polite and understanding, not offended that I'm taking my business elsewhere. If I could review just her, I would give her 5 stars.

Now, as a combat veteran with disability (PTSD) and having a service animal, came to get service at this clinic for unrelated treatment. When it was my turn and my name was called by one of the treatment staff, I felt disrespected by this individual (James) that approached me on my appointment day at this clinic and had the audacity to ask me if I have a certificate for my service animal. Although, we have been in this clinic before, and no one cares about it. This individual must know that PTSD is not a sign of weakness it is a sign of Absolute Strength, PTSD is earned by doing what others Fear. So, to answer this ignorant staff member (James) question the answer is: No, a service animal does not need to be certified, registered, or licensed under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the United States. What the Law Requires *No official paperwork: The federal government has no official test, registry, certification, or ID card for service animals. *No professional training mandate: Owners are legally allowed to train their own service animals. *No gear requirements: Service animals do not have to wear a special vest, cape, tag, or ID badge. *Task requirement: The animal must be individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability. Online Certifications and Scams *No legal weight: Many websites sell online "service dog registrations" or certificates, but the Department of Justice does not recognize them. *Not allowed as proof: Businesses and public places cannot legally demand certification, ID cards, or special proof as a condition of entry. Allowed Questions If it is not obvious what service an animal provides, staff in public places are only allowed to ask two questions: 1. Is the animal required because of a disability? 2. What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?

The nignt before I got a text message stating my appointment was cancelled and rescheduled to today, july 13th. I did my paperwork prior to arrival as well as brought my imaging disk from my MRI with me as well as my 11 year old daughter .... we are sitting in the reception area for no longer then 3 minutes when i hear one of the 3 ladies behind the desk casually say 'retard' in her conversation with the other employees. Uhh what? 2 seconds later she says 'shit' so i stand up look at them and say uhh hello? Language as i point to my daughter. The one speaking doesnt look at me, her coworker begins to 'whisper' and tells her to 'shut up, that lady is mad, she heard you theres a kid here' Woman with the professionalism of a potato makes eye contact with me, laughs it off and they continue to whisper. I get into the waiting room and there is a bunch of confusion surrounding my MRI results. 25 minutes later one of the women comes in tell me because they would have to get medical consent from my attorney to get my records released to them the doctor said to cancel my visit and i would have to come back another day. This was my 3rd attempt at actually being able to have my appointment, i completed everything they asked me to do in preparation for my appointment but on thier end they waited until im sitting in the office to figure out what they needed on thier end. And because they would need to reach out to my attorney they couldnt be bothered. Absolutely unprofessional from start to finish. The doctor couldnt be bothered to come in to the room himself to speak to me directly after a mistake on thier end and absolutely wasting my time. If i could give less stars i would. Please note this is at his Oakland, CA practice. 7677 oakport drive

His staff member ( I was told there are 2) was so condescending, unprofessional, and nasty to both of us that I decided (with my primary care doctor's blessing), to go to Golden State Ortho in Walnut Creek, which offers a very professional and friendly environment, staff, and physicians. I have been a clinical nurse specialist for a long time and have only been treated like this once before within the same practice/ Napa Valley Ortho/ back in 2019. I was going to give Huffman a try since he is a different type of specialist than the one I saw in 2019. However, even though Walnut Creek is more inconvenient than Napa, I'm very happy with Golden State Ortho. Until doctors start being responsible for their office staff's approach to patients, the patients will be unhappy with the doctor before they even meet her/him, the disrespectful and unprofessional tone being set by the staff. hope Dr Huffman sees this review.
