He is happy to consult with my specialists, and recommends both medications and lifestyle changes I can make for a range of issues. He's also really great at responding to emails, and makes sure to circle back to check on how I am doing for a particular issue we talked about last. Before Dr Fakhouri, I didn't have a regular primary care doctor as most issues were handled by specialists. But I am so glad this has changed! He certainly makes my life easier, and is a trusted resource. Not to mention, I would totally be friends with him outside of our professional relationship- he's great at being supportive and putting you at ease.

His educational and research background (both impressive!) just underline the quality of service he is bound to offer. His professionalism, yet emphatic charisma are always present in his dialogue, showing that he brings the human side we always care for and want in a doctor. He listens, he cares, he wants things done, and above all: he goes for keeping your health in good shape! A round of applause to you doctor, you good Sir, are certainly being recommended! Bravissimo!

Dr Fisher not only focuses on emotional needs, he actually makes sure your physical health is maintained too. It's very hard to find a psychiatrist that shows this kind of care...

Make that first appointment and it will change your life. Highly recommend him! Really nice, comfortable office.

This positive review is long overdue and well deserved! Dr. Lisa A. Hudson, is a wonderful and…read morecaring doctor and has handled my medical care for well over 25 years! I can not imagine having a more personable experience with such a kind hearted, knowledgeable and patient physician! Dr. Hudson was able to diagnose and prevent some serious issues with me over the years of which I am in her debt of gratitude! Dr. Hudson is always consistent to discuss good healthy eating habits and exercise on most visits. She always inquired on how things were going personally in my life and would offer useful advice. My office visits never felt rushed and I actually felt like she spent more time with me, if she felt it necessary. I think Dr. Hudson really cares about people and wants only the best for her patients. Please indulge me and allow me to expand on just a few of my experiences with Dr. Hudson over the last 25 plus years of her being MY doctor! For example, the year my mother passed away in 2001, she was extremely kind and very patient with me by allowing me to express my grief, without rushing me, in my appointments, during that difficult year. I am sure some of my appointment times went over the allotted time frame, but she always seemed to know what was important and needed. Dr. Hudson was a VERY busy woman, in her Walnut Creek office at that time, with a full waiting room of patients, yet she made the time to help me cope with my loss. Another example is when I lost my medical insurance for a period of time, Dr. Hudson was so gracious and worked with me and gave me discounted visits to enable me to continue seeing her and still receive excellent services. Also, she did NOT skimp on those visits, either, as she still provided the same high quality level of care! During that time, I would request basic short office visits, to help minimize my cost, but I feel she did extra services because she knew it was important, at no additional charge. She always tried to give me advice on places to get labs and tests at a lower cost, when possible, too. I can't thank her enough for her kindness and generosity as she really helped me financially. It was a bit disheartening to read some of the negative comments regarding Dr. Hudson, as that has absolutely NOT been my experience with her at all! She is a good, decent human being and an expert in her field and I think she only wants the best for her patients! Dr. Hudson is also a Fellow of the American College Of Physicians, which Fellows are considered a distinguished group of doctors dedicated to teaching, research as well as medical practice! She is always well versed on current medical matters and procedures and I feel that I am in VERY capable hands and have full confidence in her abilities to keep me healthy as she has done all these years! I would highly recommend her services to anyone!

Dr. Hudson is great for being able to make same-day appointments during regular M-F business hours…read more If you don't typically require care after normal business hours, don't travel frequently and don't need a specialist, you might be happy with Dr. Hudson. Unfortunately, I've had two occasions when I've needed to see a doctor and I didn't time my sickness during a M-F business hour. Dr. Hudson has no after-hours call service, so if you need attention after hours, you will be directed to an urgent care center or the emergency room if it's after-hours for urgent care (which is even more upsetting that a patient's only option is to head to the emergency room - since emergency rooms are already overfilled and the staff has much more important things to attend to than someone who just requires an antibiotic!). Dr. Hudson also won't call in a prescription for anything without seeing you in person first. So, if you have a recurring medical issue which she's previously seen you in the past and all you need is an antibiotic called in for you - she won't do it. I might otherwise be fine with this policy, however, on the most recent occasion I was traveling and unable to get to her office until later in the week. The receptionist indicated no exceptions can be made to this policy. Once again: my only choice was to head to a local urgent care office or emergency room. My other frustration with Dr. Hudson as my primary (which she is no longer - because I need a primary doctor that I can actually reach after hours and who will be able to prescribe an antibiotic for a recurring medical issue when I am traveling) is that she comes across as knowing most everything. She purports to be a sports doctor (in addition to everything else), so on a recent visit I had her take a look at a lump on the back of my leg. She diagnosed it as some sort of cyst or other "common" mass that she could take care of in her office. Luckily, I already had an appointment scheduled with a knee specialist - and it turned out I had a tumor on the nerve that required surgery (with the assistance from a spinal doctor due to the location on the nerve!). I've had relationships with many doctors in my 1/2 century - and other than Dr. Hudson, I have always been able to reach my primary doctor after hours and have never had an issue with obtaining an antibiotic for a recurring medical issue. Although I haven't found another primary doctor yet - I will happily visit my local urgent care before giving any more of my business to Dr. Hudson!

Unfortunately, the problem recurred after about one year, and he had to redo the surgery. (It's not uncommon for this kind of problem to recur, and I certainly am not blaming Dr. Tsoi.) In both situations, he was absolutely terrific to work with. He took his time with me, and never made me feel that he was rushing me along. Each time I saw him, both pre-surgery and post-surgery, he asked me a number of times if I had any questions. He (and his assistant Sandy) did everything they could to minimize the unpleasantness of the surgery experience.

Steven (or did he introduce himself as Steve? Sorry, I have the case of the Dory's from Finding…read moreNemo) is awesome. For seeing me so late in the afternoon on a Friday, I would say he has quite a bit of positive energy flowing through him. I don't usually go to him for my medical issues but my regular medical provider (Jennie Cossman, PA-C from One Medical Group) was out of the office so I almost felt like I was cheating on her. But, don't worry, Jennie, I will come back to you. He has not stolen me away. ;) So although Steven/Steve would throw out a few medical terms (ones that I probably gave him a strange look with), he went back and made it so I could understand what he was saying. And it wasn't a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am kind of appt. He listened and responded. Woot woot! Overall, a very friendly, energetic and talkative (not chatty and irrelevant but one that will have a non-tangential conversation with you) guy. I will be sure to ask for him if Jennie is away from her office again. P.S. Did I mention that I snagged this appointment the same day, just 4 hours shy of the appointment? Thank you, One Medical Group!
