I tried to reach him through the patient portal but was not able to and I have not been getting return calls back from his office. Since I travel internationally for work regularly, I was instructed by his nurse practitioner to notify the office when I would be in town to pick up my medication so it could be sent to the pharmacy in advance. I followed those instructions exactly. I also requested from her office multiple times to speak with her regarding my dosage and was never called back. When issues arose at the pharmacy over the course of 2-days, I repeatedly asked the office to speak with the pharmacist and was told they were "too busy" as I was having a panic attack at the pharmacy. I ultimately had to leave the country without my medication as I was going to miss my flight after spending significant money on travel and accommodation just to pick up my medication. The lack of communication and follow-through from the office staff was distressing and left me feeling unsupported as a long-term patient. I hope this feedback helps improve how serious situations like this are handled in the future.

My review comes with the caveat that we mutually fired each other. She couldn't/wouldn't provide…read morewhat I needed and I'm not the kind of patient suited for her process of medical care. I like her, very much, as a person, but for a clinician, I needed "more". Her medical process entails sticking to a checklist of *somewhat necessary medical tests that have become a part of the "evidence based medicine" machine. Most "average" MDs have been trained to follow a checklist, rather than thinking for themselves and have been sandwiched between their administrators and medical malpractice to make sure they are "staying between the lines". (Read Pharmageddon by Dr Healy for more insight.) I DON'T FAULT HER, as she has her policies and sticks to them regardless of her patient's desire for alternative solutions. However I do want to warn potential patients who may want leading edge medical treatments. She is an implementer, not a strategist. If you want leading edge, she isn't your doc... I'm guessing she is an ISFJ personality. They are great at following policy and rules: " ISFJs live in a world that is concrete and kind. They are truly warm and kind-hearted, and want to believe the best of people. They value harmony and cooperation, and are likely to be very sensitive to other people's feelings. People value the ISFJ for their consideration and awareness, and their ability to bring out the best in others by their firm desire to believe the best. ISFJs have a rich inner world that is not usually obvious to observers. They constantly take in information about people and situations that is personally important to them, and store it away. This tremendous store of information is usually startlingly accurate, because the ISFJ has an exceptional memory about things that are important to their value systems. It would not be uncommon for the ISFJ to remember a particular facial expression or conversation in precise detail years after the event occured, if the situation made an impression on the ISFJ. ISFJs have a very clear idea of the way things should be, which they strive to attain. They value security and kindness, and respect traditions and laws. They tend to believe that existing systems are there because they work. Therefore, they're not likely to buy into doing things in a new way, unless they're shown in a concrete way why its better than the established method. ISFJs learn best by doing, rather than by reading about something in a book, or applying theory. For this reason, they are not likely to be found in fields which require a lot of conceptual analysis or theory. They value practical application. Traditional methods of higher education, which require a lot of theorizing and abstraction, are likely to be a chore for the ISFJ. The ISFJ learns a task best by being shown its practical application. Once the task is learned, and its practical importance is understood, the ISFJ will faithfully and tirelessly carry through the task to completion." Please note that the "carry through the task to completion" is her albatross.

Not only is he a super diagnostician - he is also a truly caring person who makes sure to "get it right" and be there when you need him to see you. I, myself, have had several health care challenges, and he has helped me with all of them - referring me out to specialists, when needed - but also handling matters expertly himself, when needed. There is no way I can recommend him more highly - he is a terrific physician and a wonderful person, to boot. If you are looking for a PCP - look no further. He is a San Francisco treasure - "old school" in every good way - but he's also very, very smart and he will take excellent care of you. Call his able assistant Nick and make an appointment.

I was nervous about seeing a new doctor, but then again I haven't had many positive experiences in SF. He was kind enough to see me on the day of request so I figured I lucked out. He was kind and attentive when listening to my symptoms. He asked the right questions and made acute assessments as to what my ailment might have been. After he complimented my shirt and we exchanged a few laughs I could clearly see that this man had a heart.
