*COUGH* When I got sick, I called my regular medical office to find that my doctor was on leave. I…read morewent searching for a new office that I could pay directly. Being that I am an avid Yelper, I searched and picked this place based on the review. Just so happens you also get $50.00 off your office visit when you mention Yelp. I scheduled an appointment online using the website and headed down to Care Practice. So when I get there, it's a beautifully decorated office with cool books on the table. I checked in and as soon as I settled in, my Doctor was calling. Sad to say, I'm really not used to fast service at a medical center before now. I met with Dr. Vinh Ngo, who checked me out and spoke to me about my poor little cold and sore throat. He wrote me a prescription for the medicine he did not have, but the others he gave to me and charged me for them. I was impressed! You just saved me another 45 minutes waiting around in Walgreens. I really enjoyed the visit. The Doctor was great, the receptionist was great. I was in and out with my medicine in less than 30 minutes and spend a total of $112.00 with my meds. How could one sick girl be happier than that? Care Practice is a great alternative to paying the big bucks for medical insurance. I hardly get sick and paying $112.00 is way cheaper than most monthly plan preminums.

This review is specifically for Jessica the admin and Dr. Wardwell…read more Where to begin, how about with absolute racket. Its funny that they call themselves Care, such a misnomer. They should just put "$ Care". At every interaction I've had with them, its been about more appts, more money, oh and by the way, THEY DON'T TAKE INSURANCE. Many of their fees might even be covered by your insurance, but they don't want to do the paperwork. So seeing how its out of pocket, I wanted to be very clear about the cost up front. By phone, they told me "$185 per visit, thats a discount since you found us on Yelp." They scheduled the visit for Saturday, the only day Doctor Wardwell was available. When I came in for the visit, I asked again to verify the price and the admin told me $240. I mentioned to her the discrepancy and she said, "oh, thats our weekday price, its more on the weekends". I mentioned the Yelp discount and she said she could bring it down to $210. Ridiculous but I reasoned it was only $25 more. I told her I knew the test I needed based on two other phone calls with Naturopathic doctors and didn't want to waste Doctor Wardwell's time without having the results first, which were a 3 week turnaround by an outside lab. Doctor Wardwell took me back to his office and instead of a quick 5 min chat, it turned in to 25min with the same result, he recommended the same damn test. I exit feeling cheated that I just did a visit for no reason and no progress. And here's the kicker: Admin: "Your total for today is $290", she says with a straight face. Me: $290!, why $290?" Admin: "Its says here your visit was of medium complexity" Me: "what does that even mean? Is that an actual line item, can I see it?" Amin: "no" Me: "a half hour ago when I came in you told me the visit would be $210" Admin: "okay, I can bring it down to $240" Me: "no, you told me $210" Admin: "okay, $210" I left with a sour taste to say the least. 3 weeks later she calls to tell me my results are in and wants to schedule an appt. Not wanting to return, I said I was feeling better and would call if the symptoms re-surfaced. Two days later, another call from Care, "Dr. Wardwell would really like to discuss your results with you." Me: "I thought I already told you what I wanted the other day". Admin: "Well, he would like me to send you the results" I'm thinking perfect, then I can decide if I need a follow up visit. Two days later Admin: "Dr. Woodward is in the office today (sat) and would really like to either set up a visit or he can speak with you by phone" Me: "I'm at the gym but can do a quick phone call in an hour" She calls me back in an hour and says: "Hi, I have Dr. Wardwell right here, is this still a good time" Me: "yes" Admin: "ok, I'll pass you right over. The call will be 175, is that okay?" Me: "WHAT! $175 dollars? American? Definitely not!" Admin: "oh, okay. Is money a problem?" Me: "Yes, $175 for 5 - 10 mins is a problem, why didn't you tell me this an hour ago when you called?" Admin: "oh okay, I'll tell Dr. Wardwell you don't want to talk to him" Absurd on so many levels. First that she didn't tell me the price of the call beforehand and second that she made me feel like an ass for not wanting to pay a rate that is higher than any lawyer in SF. My two interactions with Care: 1st one I was scammed, the 2nd they tried to scam me again. Not kosher. In retrospect, any doctor who is right there and their patient says, yes money is an issue and doesn't get on the phone to discuss for at least a couple mins, doesn't give two shits about their patient and is purely money driven. To sum it up: Maybe there are other good doctors at Care, but there are a lot of good docs in this town. If you don't want to get totally fleeced and feel like a jackass for asking about the price of your out of pocket care, I would stay away.

Really good and caring therapists, but corporate feel and horrible money handling…read more There are Foundations recovery centers all around the country, all sharing a very well developed curriculum. I like that they really try to stay on the cutting edge of psychology and self improvement more than places that have develop curriculum in house could ever do. And all the therapists have masters degrees which is very reassuring knowing that you are getting someone with real training. It's a mix of young kids in their early 20's who are still on their parents insurance, and well off people who have good work insurance. It tends to be an upscale clientelle. My main objection was that the financial arrangements were opaque and communication was extremely poor around money. I had three different employees giving me different messages about what I would owe, and the only one who actually knew what was going on, the director, was inaccessible to me most of the time. So much false information floating around and so little regard for accuracy. One time they accidentally charged my insurance for a visit with someone I had never seen. I notified them and their reaction was that there was nothing for them to do since the insurance paid it in full so I wouldn't be out of pocket. This attitude of whatever gets the money to come in, regardless of accuracy, seems endemic in this corporate recovery world. Like any medical office, you sign something saying basically that you are responsible for whatever they want to charge you, so nightmares of accumulating $1000/day debt accidentally were a real stumbling block to my recovery. They say that it's extremely rare for the urinalysis to get billed to patients, but it happened to me, getting bills for hundreds of dollars for each urinalysis. Foundations did help me apply for financial aid which covered it; they directed me to do some questionable ethics in my application to qualify. In the end, I ended up only paying for what my insurance covered, and I was happy that they didn't bill me for what happened after the insurance stopped paying. I have a lot of sympathy for how much uncertainty they deal with from the insurance companies. My takeaway from this experience was that I will never again submit myself to something like this where I agree to pay whatever they charge me. As I say, the therapy really is top notch here. But in retrospect I think I might have benefited more by going to a more down and dirty program like Ohloff house or Alta Bates; I need people to kick my ass a bit and this is one thing that Foundations doesn't do. If you relapse they welcome you back as if nothing happened. I think they are genuine about thinking it's better for people to be in therapy than not, but it's clear it's also a financial tool for them. Alta Bates will make people go to inpatient if they relapse, which might have been a motivation for me to stay straight. As it is, I relapsed during and after Foundations treatment, and I'm not going back. I now am looking at doing an out of state inpatient treatment, but my experience with Foundations has soured me on corporate recovery, even though it can be great therapy.

This program has been a horrible but insightful experience. I will start off by talking about what…read moreis good about this program, and it is one thing: the facilitators. Everything else was disastrous, I have to agree with most if not all, of the 1 star reviews on this page. 1. All of the participants were not given accurate information on how foundations schedule groups, flexibility is not an option, and this is not communicated clearly EVEN if you have a medical appointment. This adds a multiple layer of stress, not being given any opportunities to improve your health. 2. This site has lost its licenses TWICE, which should be very concerning. The lack of transparency within this company and with its patients is baffling 3. There are no psychiatrists or doctors on site to refill or prescribe new medications. Many of the group participants went without vital meds that they received from residential. 4. There is no real structure. In the second half of the day, it seems that there is no curriculum, and you are mostly sitting through 3 hours of much of anything. 5. Lastly, Mark is cruel, and I hope foundations receive a class action lawsuit and are shut down for good. Truly, one of the worst experiences I have ever had. If you are a women of color and or queer I would also skip this place entirely, you will not be heard or valued. Listen to the other reviews, and for the love of god skip this program it is not worth your time or money!!!

Please do not trust Ria health. They will "qualify" you through your insurance telling you that no…read morematter what you will not have to pay more than $300/month. Then a couple months go by without receiving a bill, and this is the kicker which they do on purpose so that they can continue to overcharge you for services, then two days before your first bill is due they will hit you with a $864 bill. At which point you cannot contact customer service directly. You have to call and leave a voicemail and wait 2 business days for someone to contact you. Then once they get you on the phone they will inform you that you signed up for this service and will unknowingly be charged this amount every month but will only have to pay $300/month until the entire balance is paid off. I tried to fight it and decided to pay the balance off because I didn't want my credit to be affected since I am trying to purchase my first home and they are STILL charging my credit card $300/month months after I cancelled the service.

I sent a detailed email to Martin Kramer, explaining what a terrible situation I had been put in by my other doctor and begging for his help. He agreed to help and fixed the situation within hours. I was so relieved, I can't even express my gratitude. I feel like I can count on Martin Kramer and One Medical to take care of my health if I just do my part.

Rating: | Clarus Health SF - SGB Procedure, July 2025…read more I had the absolute pleasure of being treated by Dr. Kaveh at Clarus Health SF for a bi-lateral SGB (Stellate Ganglion Block) in July. From the moment I connected with their team, I felt respected, heard, and truly cared for. As someone who's dealt with debilitating daily migraines for years and panic disorder, I've tried almost everything -- but nothing helped long-term. Dr. Kaveh went above and beyond, spending over an hour with me during our consult and treating me with empathy I've rarely encountered in healthcare. His nurse Kelly and the entire staff were equally amazing. Both procedures (Tuesday and Friday) were done with precision and compassion. The details blew me away -- they called me "Max" on the room board (not "Maxwell"), gave me soft blankets, and welcomed my wife and kids warmly. Best IV placement I've ever had, and I walked out within 45 minutes feeling better than I had in years. He even followed up after each visit personally and helped identify lab issues unrelated to the SGB that I'm now addressing. That level of care is rare. Huge shoutout to Karma and JuJu, the sweetest dogs, who added even more comfort and love to the experience. If you're struggling and looking for answers, Clarus Health is the place to go. You won't regret it.
