With all the polish and professionalism of a Philadelphia lawyer, this, very confident, old school,…read moreCase Western Medical Grad, Dr. Mark Avon, entered the room with a kind of panache that let you know...you are in the hands of greatness. His questions were direct and covered the subject of urology, like a ladies dress...Long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to keep it interesting ! His hands moved on the computer keyboard like a conductor, and before you knew it, he was giving you a full exam and doing so with such grace and compassion...You knew you were in the capable hands of a 30+ year veteran! The time flew by and as all of my questions were tendered, he even remembered, to order the labs we discussed. Dr. Mark Avon and his delightful and knowledgeable receptionist JoAnn, are Old School in a good way...They really put the CARE...back into Healthcare! Under the watchful eye of John Muir Health Department of Urology, Dr. Mark Avon, MD is at: 5201 Norris Canyon Rd. Suite 210 San Ramon, CA. 94583 (925) 830-1140

I am in terrible pain from kidney stones right now and when I called to make an appointment with…read moreDr. Kenneth Hsiao the main receptionist of NorCal Urology was so extremely rude! Extremely! How she got a job there or anywhere for that matter I will never know. I really think someone should explain to her that she actually works in the medical field and people are actually in pain when they are trying to get in touch with the Drs. that work at this medical facility so a much more pleasant demeanor would be a lot more acceptable. This discourteous individual then proceeded to tell me that the Dr. doesn't have any appointments until a month from the time that I am actually calling, then basically hung up on me. I will never be recommending anyone to NorCal Urology and I will be letting my primary care doctor know how unprofessional and rude the front desk is over there as well, as they might not want to be referring patients to such an unnecessarily nasty experience. I then proceeded to make an appointment at a different establishment where the receptionist who answered was friendly and courteous and very thorough and this place will be seeing me by the end of the week. So no to ever wanting to go to or recommending anyone to NorCal Urology when there are so many other establishments that hire competent personable people who know how to answer a phone. If I could give zero stars I would!

"The Art and Science of Wound Care."…read more I feel fortunate to be in an area that has such excellent surgeons. After a nasty mountain bike accident, I was treated at the Walnut Creek wound care center, with Dr. Young as the surgeon. After watching the team in action, I can see that the surgeon is a bit of a scientist, as well as an artist, promoting the healthy healing of a wound. It is not a trivial process. You really have to know what you're doing. I appreciate the dedication and professionalism of Dr. Young. I feel like I was in good hands the entire way. Thank you!

Dr. Young is hands down the most talented, considerate, kind, healer I have ever had the pleasure…read moreof having as a physician of any kind. Last august I had a seemingly easy surgical procedure that went awry, these things happen. But Dr. Steven young was the general surgeon called in to repair the damage of having my bowels actually nicked, and he literally saved my life. It was quite an ordeal, with infections, abscesses, pancreatic issues, and finally, a large and painful incisional hernia that couldn't be operated on for four months after the infection ended. Saying that I was scared going into the hernia repair surgery was an understatement. But Dr. Young is so confident, kind, and non stressed I knew I was in great hands. Because of all my previous abdominal surgeries and the emergency one I had last August, Dr. Young originally recommended I consult with a plastic surgeon about doing what's called "components separation" in addition to a mesh to hold in the hernia. I had that consultation, but I decided that I wanted Dr. young to do that specialized surgery himself. At first he was humble and reluctant, but he agreed to do that procedure if it was indicated when he opened me up on March 25, my surgical date two weeks ago. I marvel each day at how beautiful and sculpted my abs look now. I have a six pack, it's really work of art, what he has done for me. And I know that's just the icing on the cake, the internal mesh and hernia fix as well as the reconstruction of 4 to 5 layers of my muscle was a difficult task, but Dr Young did a great job. I used to think I should only find arrogant, conceited, and cocky surgeons, because I heard if you had a surgeon with a good bedside manner and a kind demeanor, he wouldn't be as good. That is completely untrue. Dr Young also runs the John muir wound care clinic, he plays in his Church band, he is a dedicated father to his children and a loyal husband, he represents the best qualities out there. He is supremely confident, but never arrogant. He is patient, and explains things well. He even very subtly told me that losing weight would really help the abdominal hernia repair surgery, and I did, I lost 45 pounds in five months. :) Doctor's orders were a huge motivator, and especially Dr. Young's orders! There was no way I could have gotten through all this over the last eight months without the superior surgical skill as well as the knowledge and experience that Dr. Steven Young has. I wish I could give him ten stars here

Despite my appointment being at 4:00 PM, I was running about 10 minutes late and called the office to ensure my appointment wouldn't be canceled. They assured me it would be fine and confirmed I was on my way. I arrived at the office and checked in at exactly 4:13 PM. However, when the front desk checked with Dr. Ravindran, she refused to see me. I even requested very politely about my wait time for this appointment and my complex medical history. As a healthcare worker, I understand the frustration with consistently late or no-show patients, but this was my first time, and I had called in advance. This was an incredibly unempathetic and unreasonable service. I am very disappointed. I would have given a negative star if possible.
