Needles aren't scary. The people who stick them in are the scary ones. Fortunately there was…read morenothing scary about Dr. Raskin and his kind assistant when they showed up to do on-site flu shots for our law firm. Our regular company had gone out of business and we received (a great) recommendation for this Doctor. The process of arranging for his two-person team to come at a time convenient to us was as painless as his shot. I was very anxious as the stick time grew nearer, but when it was my turn to sit down he calmly asked me about work and I hardly knew he was done. I'm not kidding - painless! He accepted a business check for payment of our 19 shots ($25 each) and now our office (and a couple others on our floor) are flu-safe. Shots are also given at his El Sobrante office so give them a call if that's your area! They'd be happy to stick a needle in your arm. And I promise it's the least amount of suffering possible.

Please save yourself the trouble and chose another doctors office. The office staff is incompetent…read more It took me multiple calls and voicemails to set up a in initial appointment with the office. The appointment itself was fine initially but they try to get you to come in for multiple visits for things that can be handled in a single visit. They don't have any sort of online portal to make appointments or to view lab results and will charge you for an office visit to share your results with you. The office also sent my lab request to the wrong company initially after multiple verifications of the lab company (that was in the same medical building as their office)... I gave in and ending up driving to another city because both front desk people are useless and at that point had missed my appointment. Now I am just fighting with them to get my lab results as they want to charge me a full office visit to get my results which is illegal. I only gave them a try because they were my auto assigned PCP.
