His personality fits his profession. He's friendly, soft spoken, and has a smile that is warm. In a nutshell, he makes you feel comfortable, which is important in my opinion whenever you go to see any type of doctor. I was able to sit in and watch him work on my friend. I observed how mindful he is in his work; his fingers hitting all the tension relieving pressure points. The proof was in the pudding, and the pudding happened to be the smile of relief on my friend's face. As he worked he also talked, which I think served two purposes: making the appointment less boring and keeping her calm and relaxed as he worked. I have never been to a chiropractor, but I can say that when the day comes when I need one, I hope Dr. Wilbur is still around.

Dr. Wilbur is extremely helpful and friendly. I feel like I'm visiting my friends when I go into…read morehis office! He really takes the time to get to know you and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. Marsha and Nadine, who work the front office, are also a pleasure! They have a candy bowl they put out for patients. Dr. Wilbur even sometimes brings a basket of vegetables from his garden for his patients to pick from, and paper bags to bring some home. His little homegrown tomatoes are the best I've ever had! Sometimes, there are also free chair massages from a very sweet massage student while you wait for your appointment. Dr. Wilbur offers different types of treatments. He is very thorough and I never feel rushed. He really takes the time to address your needs and uses many different techniques. I couldn't imagine a better DC!

Not a fan. Although Dr. Coughlan did great at pinpointing where my allergies were coming from…read more(which I am grateful for) - the buck stopped there. The only solution was avoidance of the foods. I researched what supplements would help speed my recovery, ran them by her and she agreed that they would work. Why she did not feel the need to do this as a naturopathic physician, I don't know. She also seemed very mum, detached, and unenthusiastic about my care. I would ask questions about what my diagnosis meant, if I had a leaky gut, etc? All of her responses were "yes, that's where we're headed". No additional explanation as to how she knew this. I think as a naturopathic physician all of this should be communicated to the patient in a clear and concise way, so that they can understand where their care is headed and what's going on. Needless to say, I've since then stopped seeing her. I have found another naturopathic physician who is essentially helped cure everything.

She knew nothing about treating Lyme Disease when I started seeing her and even less about Chronic or Long Term Lyme nor the effects of having Lyme Disease goes without diagnosis. She never have me tested for molds, co-infections but she did make referrals to others doctors who could not figure out why she was referring me to them! She sent me to find a LLMD and at the time, she only knew one I am housebound, crippled and without doctor' care and I can thank her!

I am currently seeing Dr. Honsik and Dr. Zwahlen. I started with Dr. Honsik to examine a very sore…read moreknee. He was able to see that I'd most likely hurt my knee a long time ago (as early as high school and I'm 65 now), and knew exactly what was going on. He referred me to Dr. Zwahlen for surgery when it didn't improve. Dr. Zwahlen suggested an "experiment" to see if light motion, elevation and ice would restore the range of motion before deciding a surgery - a very pleasant surprise. It was definitely not a "default to surgery" situation. The rest of their team has been great to deal with as well. I highly recommend this practice!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brandon Holmes and his outstanding team. Dr. Holmes is…read moreexceptionally skilled, and his kind, gentle approach immediately puts you at ease. I have been a patient for over 10 years, and throughout that time he has consistently provided thoughtful, effective care. I deal with ongoing back and neck issues, and the spinal decompression treatments have truly been invaluable to my quality of life. What I appreciate most is Dr. Holmes' common-sense, practical approach--he takes the time to listen and tailors treatment to what genuinely works. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate chiropractor.

THE WORST for females:…read more I was in a major injury car accident 4/1/23. I had fractured a rib, my shoulder and sternum. I was advised that I needed PT for my shoulder, and was referred to Dr Leo Calafi at Golden State Orthopedics by my primary. He barely made eye contact and after looking at my x-ray immediately dismissed me and told me I didn't need to do anything. He didn't even bother to give me an handout with exercises to do at home. 7 months later and I still have pain, have limited movement and a frozen shoulder. I had to find my own Qualified, well respected Orthopedic Surgeon. After an MRI and X-Ray, I was promptly sent to a Physical Therapist. The 2nd doctor I saw, asked who I had seen at Golden State Orthopedics. When I told her that it was Calafi, she shook her head and said that she had heard this before with women patients. He clearly dislikes and dismisses females, as he does not want to work with them. I should have started physical therapy as soon as my bone was healed.

Dr Eppley may be a fine doctor, but the office set up is more than disappointing. It's very hard to…read moreget an appt with any doctor, b/c they are busy. I get that. But in this case, I was given an appt a month ago and I grabbed the only slot that was available. Weeks later, his office called and said he is limiting new patients. Why did they set up an appointment in the first place? The appt was in 3 weeks. Now, I must find another doctor, and the wait will also be quite long. This is a lousy way to treat potential patients, but more important, it's a lousy way to treat people who are in pain. Make the appt or don't, but don't back out at the last minute.

Dr. Robert Eppley is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. I had a severe tear of the supraspinatus…read moretendon and had rotator cuff surgery in my predominant right shoulder 4 years ago. The surgery center was efficient in scheduling and the results from the surgery today are excellent. He even provided me with 4 short videos of my surgery during the procedure where he commented on his findings. Earlier this year when I started having similar problems in my left shoulder I revisited him after an MRI and sure enough I had a similar tear; must have been those years of racing sailboats on the San Francisco Bay and some bad genetics. Anyway 6 weeks ago I had a similar surgery on my left rotator cuff, and all is going well with the recovery. Now it's up to me to do the PT required to get the arm fully functional again. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Eppley, an excellent surgeon who is also extremely personable, shares photos of his lovely dog and his recent vacations. While it's true that now he's under Sutter Health he's more difficult to get ahold of, he's worth the frustration and once you visit his office you can email them much more easily.

Having referred friends to Dr. Kano, I knew he was patient, kind, knowledgeable and professional,…read morebut I never had back pain myself until I went a little overboard pulling weeds a few days ago. I woke up yesterday with a stabbing pain in my lower back that extended down my leg. However, Dr. Kano made time for me, and not only put an end to the excruciating pain, but showed me on a life-like set of vertebrae exactly what had happened and what he did to fix it. This morning I went on a hike of 5.2 km, 8,198 steps and 49 floors...NO PAIN! What a relief, thanks so much, Dr. Kano.

He does these muscle tests (they're hard to explain, but ask him to do it!) that I find very cool. You can see how the signals aren't getting through at the beginning and then see how they've improved after the adjustment. I pushed my husband to go because he had lost some of the use of his right hand and arm and the medical doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. Dr. Kano was able to improve the situation so he now has more grip strength in his hand!

This is going to be an unusual review, but bear with me. :)…read more Three weeks ago, I was helping friends move from San Francisco to Daly City (boo!). We were just getting started to fill the truck with all kinds of furniture and boxes. I had been at my friends' place a zillion times, but still managed to think that I was already on the bottom step of a staircase when I actually wasn't - picture Roadrunner hovering over a canyon and then falling down. That was me. I landed on my right ankle, overstretched it severely and was down for the count. Now, my one lucky bit of the day was that one of the other helpers was Dr. Lori Beltran. She examined my foot, got a bandage, wrapped my foot expertly and sent me home, ordering the RICE treatment for my foot - rest, ice, compression and elevation. She also told me to see a doctor after 72 hours, aka on Tuesday. The days until then, Dr. Beltran actually followed up with me by text messages (!). I'd have totally gone over to follow up with her in person, too, but I'm in the city, not in O-town, so I saw my regular Orthopedist. He was praising her bandaging skills and said that he probably wouldn't be able to wrap my ankle as expertly as Dr. Beltran - and he's been in business even longer than she has. Bottom line: if you're looking for stellar medical service in the East Bay, Dr. Beltran is your one-stop solution.

Even when I find a doctor that I like, I've run into issues with rude nurse assistants and front desk staff. When I told my long-term OBGYN my situation, he referred me to Dr. Lori Beltran. I came in for my first appt. with low expectations and was greeted by a nice front desk receptionist. The office is completely electronic, so I filled in all of my information and medical history in no time. My 1st visit was pretty easy, this was more so just an intro/annual check-up. Dr. Beltran even requested all of my recent blood work from my last physician so I didn't have to do more labs. During my visit, she noticed that my sinuses were inflamed and referred me to a great Allergist (apparently I have allergies that I wasn't even aware of). Another perk of the office is they open early. My appt. was at 7am - perfect if you need to get in before work. Overall I had a good experience. Glad to have found a Great Doctor (and office staff) in the East Bay!
