After a few years I needed new orthotics and local podiatrist had retired so went to a prosthetist as close to me and she tried twice but couldn't get right fit. I then went to another podiatrist a distance from my home. He tried twice and couldn't get right fit, as in I was having pain from them. FINALLY I found Dr. Stateva, a 2 1/2 hr. drive from home, who got orthotics PERFECT the first time. Her knowledge and skill were very evident. Her calm and gentle manner really helped me and I felt so grateful to have her as my Doctor. I now feel so comfortable when going to see her and trust her completely which is rare.

Not only did the Doctor get me in immediately, she pushed the hospital to get me in for blood work and an MRI that same day. She performed a procedure to open my foot, cleaned my wound, dressed it, and got me referred to a wound center for follow up. It was nearly painless and she was friendly, professional and gentle. I was so impressed with her, that I decided to begin scheduling a regular checkup for my feet. But to top off an already great experience, the Doctor had a "stat/rush" put on my MRI (which the hospital said would take several days) and called me personally at home that evening to let me know I would not need an amputation. She said she didn't want me to worry over the weekend. Again, this pushed Dr. Stateva even further toward the 5-Star review that I am giving her. To be honest, I can't think of anything that would have made my visit better -- we'll, maybe a tray of chocolates and an open bar. :)

Consider myself so cursed. What are the odds of me contracting pancreatic cancer? According to my…read moreoncologist, it has nothing to do with my lifestyle (I don't smoke, drink or do drugs); I don't have family history and my only vice is I love to eat. According to my oncologist, it was a random mutation of the cells, whatever that meant and that could happen to anyone my age. So, you mean shit happened? Yes! He reluctantly agreed without going into a maze of medical mumbo jumbo. That was 2 years ago when I started with low grade fever and stomach discomfort. My primary care doc, Dr. Morse, referred me to Dr. Arifuddin, a respected board certified gastroenterologist and hepatologist in Santa Rosa. I'd not be around today if not for these 2 docs. Dr Ariffudin was the first to detect my cancer after an ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography) and a biopsy of my bile duct and pancreatic cells. A stent was put in and without going into details; this helped me to prolong my life for 2 years and of course with the help of chemo and radiation. The low-grade fever and stomach discomfort returned a month ago. There is such a thing, as stent migration and it got lost in my stomach. Dr. Arriffudin was back to my rescue and performed another ERCP on me by putting in a spanking new stent. He is very skillful at what he is doing and probably the only GI doc that can do this north of the GG Bridge up to Oregon. He is very caring and adorable with a heart of gold. Although I know there are no guarantees the new stent can prolong my life any much more that it did, but it has sure got rid of my fever and discomfort. I now consider myself so blessed. A special shout out goes to Dane Shoemaker, Dr. Arrifuddin's capable Certified Nurse Practitioner, who was just as cordial and knowledgeable to fill in. Without any hesitation, go see Dr. Ariffuddin for any of your digestive problems. That would include colonoscopy too!

First the backstory: I have lived with chronic pain my entire life, literally from the day I was born. I have a congenital birth defect that was not diagnosed until I was 55 years old. Rather than making my pain better, the surgery they did to remove the mass they discovered in my pre-sacral body cavity turned out to dramatically increase it. During this time period, I was treated by the pain clinic at Stanford Hospital. They were excellent, and I felt Based on my experience that they deserved their reputation as one of the best pain clinics in the country. Still, my pain worsened Along with my PTSD and I ended up having to move from the congested mid-Peninsula Town of Palo Alto to Ukiah. I was referred to Dr Young and after literally Decades of seeing pain doctors either did not understand, did not deeply listen, or did not have their focus on me. Dr Young has helped me get off of methadone-It has been 3 years now. He has worked with me to find the most effective medication for procedure for me that has the lowest side effect and risk profile. He is always willing to offer me new ideas and possible solutions to my predicament. Perhaps the greatest thing he has given me is Hope. At one point I had an accidental overdose. When I woke up in the emergency room the first face I saw was Dr Young at my bedside. He reached over and gave me a deep long hug. Not the kind of thing a doctor does. I start to cry when I think about it now. He stayed within healthy doctor/patient boundaries yet managed to give me a level of support I did not receive from anyone in my family.

He actually pulls his chair closer ( before C19) to talk to you, so you really know he listens.

If he, or I, had to move, I'd drive to wherever he is for appointments . He works 24 hours a day I think. You become a team for your health & if you are willing to put the work in you will get better. He has told me I should have been in a walker or more years ago. I told him I'm too stubborn for that. Some days it is hard to get out of bed I'min so much physical pain whereupon, I've called him on weekends or after hours and he has never derided me for calling & always supportive and caring, wanting to help. If you are really a team player, get a referral if he is still accepting. Get ready to not just take pills...
