It can be hard to find a good doctor when you have an HMO and have to commit to a doctor before knowing their bedside manner, but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised after my first appointment with Dr. O'Bryan. She took the time to make me feel like I was being listened to, she asked more questions than any doctor I have ever seen before, which made me feel like she was being very thorough. I highly recommend her and after just one appointment I can tell that we are a great match and I look forward to being under her care as a patient.

They were friendly, caring, and truly listened. Within 24 hours, I had referrals to specialists, and the whole experience felt warm and personal--like an old-fashioned doctor's office where you're not rushed, and you might even know some of the same people from the community. I especially appreciated that Dr. Hosseini has a phlebotomist on staff (David was excellent--quick and painless!), so I didn't have to make a separate trip to a lab for bloodwork. What stood out most was that Dr. Hosseini really listened. He took the time to understand my preferences, including my desire to start with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise before turning to medication. That kind of personalized care means a lot.

I have seen doctors in the past that I have dropped like a "hot potato" because they had a bad attitude (meaning: they rushed me through an exam and did not answer my queries)....

At my first appointment he described himself as being a medical 'quarterback'. Not being a sports person, I'm not sure what he meant by it but I found him to be more of a middle manager. He'll take your vitals, order & review blood tests, prescribe some basic meds, but otherwise refers everything out. You don't even have to take off your clothes for any appointments - though this can be a plus if it's what you're looking for. My main issue is that he does not perform annual women's wellness exams. He will refer you to a Gyn. My prior doctor of 15 years & new doctor both regularly perform your annual women's wellness exam especially if pregnancy is not an issue unless you specifically request otherwise or have your own Gyn. For basic annual exams there's no real need for a specialist. My question is does he perform prostate exams on men & or is it just women's wellness he's not comfortable with? Because trust me, I don't like that exam very much either but it's a health necessity. If you're a women he may not be the right fit. He was very thorough in ordering lab test before your visit & taking vitals and reviewing them in great detail but he did not really leave time for addressing patient questions and concerns. By the time I got home I always felt that I didn't have a chance to discuss my concerns or he was dismissive of them. I always come in with a notepad to keep track of my doctor's comments & my questions. I did have one concern that I did a Telehealth appointment. He suggested I come in for a physical exam, which I did, but he never performed the physical exam. I was too embarrassed to ask. I came to Dr. Wallis when my primary care doctor of 15 years moved her practice too far. He came highly recommended. I was contemplating another doctor but chose Dr. Wallis on their recommendation. His concierge service was not feasible so I moved to another doctor who is a good fit.

Dr. Sun is excellent. Thoughtful, attentive, easy to talk to and the kind of doctor who makes you…read morefeel like there is a human being on the other side of the conversation. I have no complaints about him whatsoever. I'll continue seeing him. The strange part is everything surrounding him. The front desk experience has been wildly inconsistent. One person has always been genuinely kind and helpful. A couple of the others have the particular energy of people who seem inconvenienced by the existence of patients. Not rude enough to create a scene, just dismissive enough to make you wonder why healthcare reception so often feels like an underfunded DMV with worse lighting. My first intake experience wasn't much better. The staff member seemed rushed, barely engaged and somehow managed to record my height incorrectly while I wasn't even standing fully upright. The blood pressure check felt similarly mechanical and abrupt. These sound like small things until you remember that these are the measurements physicians are using to make decisions about your health. Details matter. The nurse who handled my vaccinations afterward was much warmer and more personable, which I appreciated, but the process itself felt surprisingly improvised. Supplies were forgotten, there was visible uncertainty about what was being given and there were several little "oops, forgot this" moments. Nothing bad ultimately happened, but when needles and medication are involved, you want boring competence. You want the ritual to feel practiced. That's really the frustration here. There is a very good doctor inside an experience that doesn't consistently rise to his level. Healthcare is already intimate, expensive and stressful enough. The parts around the medicine matter too. The greeting, the measurements, the handoff, the confidence that everyone knows what happens next. Dr. Sun gets my trust. I just wish the operation around him felt as considered as the care he provides.

We all know that most docs that take insurance are all stressing about making sure they see and take care of their many patients.

As such, I did have a miscommunication with Dr Tarpley, through no fault of either of us - just one of those miscommunications that can happen to us all, despite best intentions. Much to his credit, when he was alerted to my concerns he took the time out of his weekend and a special family celebration to call me and we were able to discuss my medical issues. He also made sure that from here on out I know exactly how to get in touch with him. He did not "need" to call me as promptly as he did, but he made the time.
