According to the office of Dr Batlin, the brain is not so much a spongey physical organ responsible…read morefor various physiological functions as it is a nebulous ghost receptacle that can sometimes be inhabited by demons, the exorcism of which medical care providers have no part. Despite describing the physical manifestations of severe anxiety, including urticaria, elevated blood pressure, elevated pulse, insomnia, anorexia, and panic attacks, the office repeatedly asserted that it has a policy of not providing FMLA for "non-medical" reasons, despite Dr Batlin handling the prescription of psychotropic medication (SNRIs) for same. For clarification, I was not requesting disability or worker's comp paperwork. I only needed a doctor's note to use my own earned, banked sick leave, of which I have plenty. That's it. Just a doctor's note enabling me to use my own sick leave as an interim measure while I sought the care of a psychiatrist. Instead I was repeatedly told to just go to the ER. I don't require inpatient psychiatric hospital treatment, so this repeated insistence that I seek unnecessary and expensive treatment instead of the simple and cost-free to anyone but myself remedy of time off is completely baffling.

She has discovered issues that I would not have known I needed to treat if she had not sent me for those tests. She takes her time to listen to her patients and provides good recommendations and options for treatment. She follows up and responds quickly to any calls or inquiries, either herself or via her assistant. Yes, her schedule is booked far in advance, but for urgent issues I have always been able to see her partner, Dr. Lakowski, within a day or two. In 20 years I have never had to resort to Urgent Care in order to be seen quickly. You do need to have patience to get an initial appointment with Dr. Batlin, but if you do see her, you won't want to see another doctor.

He made me feel heard and seen. He went above and beyond what other doctors would do. But the office manager Eva at the San Mateo office is completely incompetent. It's a shame that such a wonderful doctor is losing patients because of her. Id love to return as a patient so long as Eva is gone! All the emails go to her and not directly to the doctor. There is no online portal for communicating with him, so she decides to pick and choose what communication ends up on his desk. So there is no accountability whatsoever.

Qualities I seek in a primary care physician:…read more 1. Holistic care - a doctor who asks about all aspects of my health and takes the time to process the information as a whole so that I can improve my overall health. 2. Sensitivity - a doctor who asks about my health & wellness philosophy and attempts to work with me to honor my wishes, someone who does not make assumptions, and does not make biased remarks regarding health or lifestyle. After meeting with Dr. Ali, I can only recommend her on the basis of her friendliness (and that of all other office staff.) Friendliness aside, she doesn't seem to have the crucial qualities that I'm looking for in a doctor. There are quite a number of reasons I wouldn't return to Dr. Ali, but to name a few: Though I explained that this was my first visit to a doctor in a long time and I mostly wanted to talk about my health, Dr. Ali seemed unprepared to have an in-depth conversation. Instead of initiating a conversation about various elements of my health, she immediately asked me about my list of health questions/complaints and rushed me through them. Several of my questions related to diet, blood sugar, weight gain/loss and I felt that they warranted a longer conversation and recommendations beyond various blood testing. Dr. Ali failed my queer-friendly sensitivity test, asking me about oral contraception during a conversation about acne, and immediately launched into statistics about condom failure before I could edge in, "Um, I'm a lesbian." (And we were talking about my SKIN.) Dr. Ali replied "Well, that would have been my next question." All doctors, but especially doctors in the Bay area, should have a conversation with their patients about who they sleep with (and various risky practices they might engage in) before talking about birth control and STD prevention. Because sometimes it's not relevant to talk about contraception to someone who isn't sleeping with men, or is perhaps looking to get pregnant. Which brings me to the last hurrah: Later, when talking about potential ovary issues I might be at risk for, Dr. Ali remarked, "Well, I guess it won't matter since you won't be trying for children." !! Perhaps Dr. Ali is aware of a new law that prohibits gay women from conceiving children? Why would anyone assume that I won't be making use of my ovaries just because I happen to shack up with a lady? Just plain ignorance. So, I'm still on a search for a whole-body-minded practitioner who is hip to the ways of baby-less but maybe someday baby-wanting lesbians. Please send suggestions my way; I won't be back to Dr. Ali.
