It is unprofessional for her to "diagnose" political candidates without an appropriate examination (the Goldwater Rule). In addition to the medical/neurological implications, are the potentials for elder abuse and malingering. She is clearly biased, ignored clinical signs in Biden, (who refused to take any form of a MSE,) a month before the debate, objective signs such as diminished arm swing, aphasia, sundowning, were present, etc. while at the same time focusing on Trump's signs of cognitive decline reported in the press, ignoring appropriate screening provided by medical professionals who actually examined Trump. You be the judge.

One cannot find a more knowledgable, compassionate and devoted Nephrologist. He sets a high bar. We worked together over these many years, and thousands of patients have been thankful for his honesty, compassion and devotion. Dr. Gottheiner is also a wonderful teacher and role model. So many nurses, dietitians, social workers and dialysis personnel hold him in great esteem, for his intelligence, work-ethic and devotion to patients and the practice of medicine in its purest form. I am a better person for knowing him!

I was referred to Nephrologist dr. Toby Gottheiner because my urine has become foamy and colorless…read more Dr G learned my family's history of kidney disease, but was unconcerned. He assured me that there's 'nothing wrong' with my kidneys. He did not order any tests to clarify what's going on. I went back to my primary care doctor, who is really great. He ordered an additional test of urine osmolality with fluid restriction for 12-14 hours. That test came clearly abnormal: 372 mOsm/Kg with the normal reference of at least 850 mOsm/Kg. The test pointed to inability of my kidneys to concentrate urine, which is associated with kidney failure, or other significant kidney disease. Based on abnormal finding, I was asked by primary care to go back to see nephrologist. 3 months later I'm back to Dr. Gottheiner, reasonably expecting the differential work up on the cause of a problem. Instead the conversation turned different direction. Vaguely admitting abnormal finding, doctor started vigorously looking for an unusual dietary pattern in my eating habits. When that failed, because my diet is well balanced, contrary to his previous admission, he suddenly said that he doesn't see anything wrong(?) and honestly(?), doesn't know how to help me! Than he asked me, 'Why do you worry'? I tried to patiently explain that I've had both flanks pain, coupled with significant progressive changes in a urine. He said that my urine changes unrelated to flank pains (?). At this point it has become clear doctor wasn't interested in making any honest diagnosis. You don't have to be a nephrologist to know that flank pain indeed can be caused by kidney problems. I told him that both my urologist and primary care referred me to see him (nephrologist). He said that they referred me only because they 'didn't know what to do'!! Than he asked me again, 'why do you worry'? What was I supposed to say? It's like asking diabetes patient why would he/she worry so much about high glucose levels? And he is absolutely right in a sense: if doctor doesn't care, why should a patient get worry?? After first appointment, Dr. Gottheiner failed to order correct tests to evaluate the abnormal symptoms. At second appointment, when presented with abnormal findings (extremely low osmolality), dr G completely ignored them. Moreover, he ignored other significant changes (high lactic acid, anemia, peripheral neuropathy) which could be related to a kidney disease as well. Finally, Dr. G failed to order any workup on the abnormal findings to make a differential diagnosis, let alone any treatment. All in all, if you dare to 'worry' about your health, and need a diagnostic workup of your kidneys condition from a competent, intelligent doctor who cares, please don't waste your time and look somewhere else. Good luck!

Dr Verma the GI expert is my life saver for real. I was seen by different GI for my pancreatitis…read moreattack in the beginning of having that medical condition. When the case got really bad from there I was handed over to Dr Verma. First time I met him I was in very bad condition medically and due to that emotionally as well. In our very first meeting he explained me the diagnosis in detail in the best way a Lehman can understand and the next steps with plan As and plan Bs. He was very reassuring that everything will be fine. I had gallstones in pancreas which resulted in pseudo cyst that broke and created major infection in my stomach. Dr Verma conducted a major surgery followed by my 1 months plus hospitalization at Stanford hospital. From having a question mark on my survival and life today I am living perfectly normal life. He did not only save my life with a complicated case of mine but also put me and my family to ease about the whole situation. I very highly recommend him. Thank you Dr Verma for everything.

Dr. Michael Borah is one of the leading physicians in this field and he is your man! He is also a primary care physician at California Pacific Medical Center on the East Campus (2100 Webster). I was referred to Dr. Borah after I had experienced a whole chartful of problems (later, I learned it was acute anemia from my kidneys shutting down). He handled my care with immediate and safe attention to my ailment. Instead of a blood transfusion for my anemia, he personally injected me with Procrit every month until my condition improved. If you ever have a kidney problem or an urinary tract infection (UTI) for example, check with him. Dr. Borah has a very professional demeanor, but for some unknown reason, he reminds me of "Jack Benny" - the nuance, the stare????
