Fantastic Doctor! Not a pill pusher and will recommend natural alternatives when possible.

"I don't treat labs. I treat people."…read more I needed a Dr. House, and I got it. A maverick. A hipster, standard-issue-nor-cal-hippy version of House. Plaid shirt. Burner. Rides a fixie. This guy saved my life. Literally. In the not figurative sense of the word. --If you have CFS/ME, Lyme Disease, a medical mystery or some other condition where you've been seen by a bunch of doctors who haven't really helped you--DO IT. --"Radical Access" is incredible. Dr. B is available by email and very responsive. Test results and appointment notes are often emailed to me, sometimes even on a Saturday. Love being able to make and change appts online. --RE: paying out-of-pocket. Going this route ended up saving money. Dr. Brandeis works quickly and efficiently to arrive at the right diagnosis and the right treatment. Won't order a bunch of unnecessary tests, and you can be sure the ones he *does* want matter. Staying within my fancy PPO insurance plan would have cost 5x as much and I'd likely have little improvement to show for it. Also, being nearly bedridden is expensive. Reducing time bedridden= smart financial move. --Supplements. Sometimes he'll make a suggestion, then emerge with a bottle. I'm always skeptical. But some of them turned out to be more potent than my prescription meds. No joke. To keep this glowing review balanced there *are* a couple areas that fall short: --Referral to specialists. This was huge shortfall and surprising given the level of service Care Practice. On 2 occasions I was advised to consult a specialist, but left with shrugged shoulders in terms of actual referrals and specific providers. Once I started contacting specialists, most of them ( and all the best ones) refuse to interface with patients directly and ONLY work via physician referrals. Trying to negotiate this process as a patient was not effective or efficient, not to mention overwhelming while sick. --Office staff is mixed. All-or-nothing. Either staff who are excellent and SO on their game, to borderline incompetence/negligence. Be well.

I've been without health insurance for almost 6 months and it never posed a problem....until…read moreyesterday. After dealing with several clinics and endless phone calls, I finally found Care Practice. I was pleased to find out that they operate for the many of us without insurance. I walked into the appointment with little knowledge of the place but was pleasantly surprised....they have a Naturopathic Doctor! Andrew is great and I was lucky to have had my appointment with him. Not only did he treat my needs with sincerity, he was also thorough, understanding, and honest. I only needed a basic strep test but was sent home with several remedies that are proving more effective than imagined. This is my first yelp review ever written and I think it is well deserved. I highly recommend Andrew (I have actually already recommended him to my friends) and will be back. Even though I already believe and trust in Naturopathy, it's nice to FINALLY find a Naturopathic doctor in the city that I can believe in.

I waited to write this review because I struggled to find words worthy of my gratitude for this…read moreextraordinary facility and its staff. In August 2026, I was blessed to be present with my daughter and son-in-law for the birth of my grandson. What began as a beautiful delivery took an unexpected turn when an extremely unusual complication arose. A remarkable team of medical professionals responded with confidence, composure, expertise, and extraordinary teamwork. Despite the seriousness of the situation, they maintained such a calm, reassuring atmosphere that my daughter could continue bonding with her newborn while they worked to resolve a potentially devastating complication. I still cannot imagine how so many people fit into that room, much less moved with such efficiency and purpose. I also repeatedly heard the team praise the epidural administered by their anesthetist colleague. He deserved a gold star; his exceptional skill proved invaluable when the unexpected occurred. I wish I remembered his name. Most importantly, we were blessed with a healthy baby boy and a healthy mother. My deepest thanks go to Cori Gilkey, DNP, CNM; Rachel Long, MD; and the ENTIRE nursing and support staff working in Obstetrics from August 17-20. Your knowledge, compassion, professionalism, and teamwork left an impression I will carry for the rest of my life. I must also recognize the cafeteria staff. Once the emergency was under control, my daughter requested "sliced roast beef wrapped in deli paper." It may not have been a medical intervention, but it was clearly important to a new mother, and the wonderful cafeteria staff fulfilled it without question. That thoughtful gesture meant more than they could know. This facility demonstrated that exceptional healthcare is about more than medical expertise. It is also about compassion, dignity, and attentiveness in every moment, large or small. I arrived expecting to witness the miracle of my grandson's birth. I left having witnessed an equally remarkable team of people caring for others with skill, grace, and genuine compassion. Five stars are not enough.

Absolutely horrible care. Went in with a freshly dislocated shoulder and got offered ibuprofen from…read morean alleged doctor. Having dislocated my limbs multiple times, I know from experience thats not going to touch the pain. Doctor offered x ray for a tissue injury. X rays do not provide beneficial medical data for tissue injury. Left with out even bothering for the over priced Tylenol. She did manage to needlessly twist and wrench my arm though, so at least im in more pain then I left. The only professional was the desk staff and security. Good on them for being decent humans. The alleged PHDs could use some training and empathy.
