    Needing a blood test, I couldn't get an appointment at my Quest lab in Alameda. Checking on their website for the nearest locations, I made an appointment at the lab at 9thSt in Oakland Chinatown. The lab is located on the second level of the Pacific Renaissance Plaza. There is a City public garage located underneath the complex with its entrance on Franklin St. I received a text 50 minutes before my appointment to check in with the link provided upon my arrival. Arriving at 10:30, I checked in for my 10:45 appointment and I was instructed to wait outside, in my car, or waiting room. Wasn't going to go back to my car and the waiting room had limited seating, so I waited outside. There was a walk-up line with about 8 people queuing. Around 10:50, a worker came out to allow in three people that were queuing. I walked up and asked when I would be let in since I had a 10:45 appt. She said 'you didn't get a text to come in?" I said no and she told me to come in. The worker at the counter asked for my insurance and ID and for me to take a seat. As I was seated, a lady outside was screaming at a lady that was let in that she had cut the line while they had waited 1 1/2 hours. A worker determined that the lady let in came in with her mom who was in the queue and explained it to the unhappy lady, who was still upset. Within 5 minutes, I was called in. My blood was drawn and I was on my way. The check-in process to go in has issues, as I was not texted to come in and I had to inquire about the status. The walk-in line needs a better system, as there shouldn't be people screaming in the waiting room.

    Over here yelling at all the patients about checking in. Literally yelling. Attitude and all. And it's only 9am.

    This lady is a straight B****!! Over here yelling at all the patients about checking in. Literally yelling. Attitude and all. And it's only 9am. The male nurse/Dr looks like he doesn't like being here either.

Dr. Ruhle and Dr. Miller are not only outstanding surgeons, but they also genuinely care for their patients in a way that goes far beyond medicine. I consider them not just my doctors, but part of my extended family. After my major surgery on 04/25/25, them made me feel safe, heard, and cared for like family. They were both incredibly proactive throughout my recovery following an almost 8-hour procedure, and that meant everything to me. It truly made my day when Nick Wiseman checked in the very next day after surgery to see how I was doing. The three of them will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for your compassion, dedication, and the exceptional care you provide. One day I hope to make it to Emeryville to see you all again ~~~ and finally get a photo of us together. Forever grateful and thankful.

Would not sign a form so I could possibly move from the location in the senior building I rent. This would have a big impact on my health. I realize doctors are very busy and given limited time to see patients but that doesn't mean they can't show compassion. I am a senior citizen and I've been in pain after falling 11 months ago. I've been through many tests but have yet found out what can be done. Dr. Tim showed no interest or concern. She just wanted to get me out of there as quickly as possible. Now I have to start all over to find a new PCP. I waited over 2 years to see her. What a waste and disappointment.

They are leagues ahead of Richmond, which is why I may change my medical care to this facility. Ironically, I came here 30 years ago for surgery and had a good experience. but the surgery was a drive through and I arrived in the morning and went home in the afternoon. This time I stayed for four days, in a private room, and was so taken care of. The nurses were amazing and my doctor, the one who operated, and the doctor overseeing the operation, were wonderful. They really know how to talk to you and see you and actually answer your questions, unlike Pinole where my doctor dismissed everything I said and told me that I was in menopause because she knows my body more than me. She also refused to do the surgery earlier because she said it was cosmetic without symptoms. I had symptoms, but she didn't listen. But Oakland was so different. Even the food was good, I had choices. The Indian food was good. Some of the other options were bad because anesthesia affects how we taste food (for some people). I'm also grateful for my scare of it may be cancer, because it meant that the monster at Pinole was not operating on me and I was in a lot of pain, but I would have moved mountains to get another surgeon. So I didn't have cancer - thank goodness! But the nurses on the floor were caring. They didn't always answer the button when I pushed it, but they were doing their best, and being on an oncology floor, I know that there were a lot of things going on. I have more pictures and will post. The only wrinkle was that transport was slow to respond to my request to leave, but I learned that there were only two people on deck that day, so it took a while. Even he was really nice. I love this medical center.

Upon checking the address of this Kaiser, it is the one where MacArthur Broadway Shopping Center used to be over 50 years ago. (3600 Broadway) I have visited this Kaiser to get my prescription refills because the Alameda Kaiser pharmacy is temporarily closed. The cafeteria is a decent one to have breakfast and lunch. They have a nice atrium with plenty of plants. Last year in April, I was hospitalized at this facility. I had a mild heart attack and remained there for about four days. The nurses during the day shift were wonderful and took care of me. However, the nurses on night shift wete not as attentive. I had to use the bathroom in the early morning (3 AM) and I pressed the button numerous times for help. Nobody checked to see what was the problem. I couldn't do a pee pee dance while lying in bed. No assistance? Desperate time calls for desperate measure. Okay, I placed my feet on the floor and that triggered the alert button in the reception area. Immediate assistance! They did not want me to get out of bed without being escorted to the bathroom. What was I supposed to do when I could not get any form of assistance? Thank goodness I did not relieve myself on the floor. Drawback: The line for the pharmacy is hella long with people waiting in the hallway to pick up their prescription from the pharmacy technicians. There aren't too many chairs for people to sit and wait. That is bad for people who have problems with prolonged standing. Such is the case for me when I have sciatica issue and the feeling and my being is a pain in my butt. Parking in the garage can be problematic, too, especially when the garage is full. Ugh!

Thank goodness for Reveal Diagnostics. They have several different sites. Mica from the diagnostics team was super helpful in scheduling the exam and coordinating with my ENT. The owner was overseeing the scan because it was not a routine dental scan. A major issue was my titanium caps interfering with the imaging on regular CAT scan. This is where the technician Makayla was able to do what other major institutions which shall go unnamed came in. With the research grade scanner she was able to adjust conditions to virtually eliminate the interference and image the area of interest in a phenomenal way, so I really owe all of them a huge thanks. They corresponded with the medical center and got them the imaging to them very very quickly. The scan is rendered into 3 dimensions that the doctor can look at from all angles. This was just a single picture taken at the imaging facility . I have the entire scan with a viewer that I can see the entire study from. 5 stars to the max!
