It resonates strongly with me as I am currently fighting white incompetent racist medical "professionals" in California to transfer my medical records to UCSF, so that I can obtain adequate medical treatment. I received better medical care in the Appalachians during graduate school. In this struggle I have been ignored, chastised for advocating for myself, threatened with police action because I requested (numerous times unsuccessfully via phone) for them to forward my medical records and a required doctor referral for a much needed mammogram to real medical professionals in the Bay Area. The clinic even sicked their Black attack dog (office worker) to tell me that [she didn't appreciate me playing the race card because she is Black]. (It's always the Black women who come for me first). I told her to study racism to understand how stupid she is. She is the one who threatened to call the Sheriffs on me for requesting my records in a manner she didn't a appreciate ... a Black Karen. Smithsonian Channel synopsis of Color of Care: "Racial inequity shows up in every dimension of health care," says Neel Shah, an assistant professor in obstetrics and gynecology at Harvard Medical School and chief medical officer of Maven Clinic, a pioneering virtual clinic for women and families. "The thing about maternal health that has made it the galvanizing focus of my whole career is that the wellbeing of mothers is a bellwether for the wellbeing of society as a whole." The physician lent his expertise to Color of Care, a new documentary from the Smithsonian Channel about racial disparities in health--and how to address them. The program will delve into these issues and how the covid-19 pandemic laid bare the issues facing the nation. We asked Shah about the historical roots of the connections between race and wellness. If you're a Black person in America today, you're three to four times more likely to die in childbirth than if you're white, irrespective of education or income; in New York City, you're 8 to 12 times more likely to die. In part, that's because of the difference between access to resources for someone living in the Bronx vs. the Upper East Side. Like other institutions, medicine requires representation at the highest levels of people who share the lived experiences of those who we're trying to serve. And historically we haven't had that, but everything from editorial boards at leading journals to the leaders of top health care institutions, we're starting to empower the right leaders. And second--this is where I'm putting all of my professional energy right now-- we want to use technology to get to a place where, for the first time in the world, your ZIP code doesn't have to be your destiny. It's not as though an app is going to fix health care, but there is an opportunity to use digital devices as portals into health care services.

Great guy, solid advice. He's always been very caring and has a great bedside manner.read more

Then she told me, "You should be over losing your son by now, when it had only been one year." This was all right after I had surgery, and I was on medical leave between jobs. I would never in a million years recommend this doctor. Seeing her get an award today (3-8-25), made my stomach churn.

Dr. Wirthlin is great. If we have a question she always gets back to us. If there is an emergency, they can always squeeze us in somewhere. The reception staff wasn't that great last year, but it's all new women now and so far, they are great. Dr. Humphry is so nice and funny and honest. Both doctors are very knowledgeable and always have an answer or suggestion for every question. We have taken our daughter to a different Doctor a couple of times while out of town, and I just have to say that I'm happy we have Dr. Wirthlin and Dr. Humphry at home.

I appreciate that currently the staff is allowing folks who wish to wait outside or sit in the hallways can do so, in limited amounts of course. Currently, any doctors appointments are done via zoom or via phone. For the most part, those phone doctor appointments used to intimidate me. But after doing a couple of doctor appointments via phone I have felt like I have been able to take as much time as I needed during the appointments and I did not feel rushed discussing concerns with my doctor. As far as the my chart app goes I definitely feel like it's come along way since it was first develop now you can make appointments virtually, sent any questions and concerns, for the first time after Covid I was able to show proof that my TB test was negative and much more. More recently I came to the clinic to have a gynecologist appointment. The doctor Tara Moss was so patient, calming and respectful.

It was a very basic thing to do and my girlfriend who works in medical coding heard they didn't order the test and she was flabbergasted. Result was I ended up in the emergency room a week later with a life threatening problem and spent four days in the hospital. ER doctors almost had me flown to San Francisco. Another time I had a grumpy doctor who had to fit me into his schedule due to the front office insisting I had to make a same day appointment for getting a cast. The doctor didn't believe me and said "I don't see why you people come here I guess you just want to save money". He then proceeded to wrap my arm ignoring the recommendation of the ER doctor and twisted my arm repeatedly. He used the wrong tape the first attempt, forgot the sock the second attempt. His demeanor softened the third time and he decided if he did the wrap differently I would be in less pain. It felt like I was being intentionally tortured. He later apologized for delaying getting my records to the specialist. I ended up in surgery after the bone had started to heal. There is more but this is getting long. Humboldt County has a provider shortage and I have been unable to find another each time I try. Getting through to the office during business hours with an urgent question is nearly impossible, and expect to wait at least two days before the team gets your question to the provider. Includes very high fever and trying to get a refill on a life critical prescription. I really wish I had an alternative.
