Dr Banisadre is The BEST oncologist in Modesto. My honest opinion. I met him way back in 1992. I…read morewas newly diagnosed with breast cancer having just given birth to my only child. I was 35 years old. I owe Dr B my life. He made the perfect concoction to cure me of the stage 4 BrCa. He has the best bedside manner. Not once did he give me negative comments! Unlike a Dr at UCSF who entered the exam room and first introduced himself then immediately commented that "women in your situation only live 2 years" I could've passed out at that moment. Now, here I am, 33 yrs later. Thanks to Dr Banisadre. I will truly miss him now that he's retiring.

It is sad when someone gets cancer and the doctor wont accept the insurance as payment, greed has got to California. The government doesn't help the tax paying citizens only those who aren't. This state has become way too liberal.

I've run into him a few times outside of the office and he's happy to see me and talk every time. Truly a nice guy. Only downside is appointments are typically booked a long time out but they do keep a few spots open for urgent issues.

My mom died after revision surgery, she got a rare type of pneumonia at Memorial Medical Center…read moreduring intubation. The doctor said she was a good candidate for the surgery and I trusted him. He went ahead and operated on her knowing she wasn't fit for surgery that day due to extremely low blood platelets. My mom had severe malnourishment due to weight loss surgery. This was the reason she was getting a revision. Please don't go here. My mom was in the hospital for 23 days the doctor checked on her two to three times in person while she was in the ICU. He recommended I put her on comfort care by calling me on the phone. My mom was just another insurance claim instead of a human being to him.

You will not find a better surgeon, point blank. Matthew Coates is cut from a cloth of excellence…read more His father, Patrick Coates, is truly an amazing surgeon and the Apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Patrick performed my surgery almost 15 years ago. And his son performed surgery that saved my life recently. Let's face it there's not many offices in the medical field that run entirely smoothly. So I'm not going to judge a Doctor by his office staff. Let's face it, they're busy. And when we don't feel well we expect them to be perfect and that's just unreasonable. But if you want a perfect doctor. This is the place to be. I will forever be grateful that my life was put in the hands of an amazing surgeon. Vera Wolfenbarger

Dr. Cook has been my doctor for a long longtime now. He was recommended by my previous doctor, Dr…read more Sood after he was told he had to get rid of patients from Sutter since he was engrossed in nuclear medicine. One of the best recommendations ever especially since Cook was not part of the evil Sutter medical cartel. In the past, Dr. Sood and I as a patient had to go up against Sutter for going outside what the "Standard of Care" demanded, which has nothing to do with the patients health. Ok long preamble, but sets the stage. With Dr Cook you become a partner as to not only your medical care, but more importantly a partner in keeping you healthy, to where you don't need to see a doctor or go to the hospital, except for breaking a leg or other accidents. This knowledge that you, the individual, are in charge of your own health care, is non-existent inside the big medical institutions. Because of his care and acknowledging that I, the patient, have a say, is prolly one of the reasons I am as healthy as I am at my age. I know if I was subject to, or actually followed the advice, (God no) of Sutter, or Kaiser or any other major medical cartel it would be a different story. As an extra he personally calls to discuss results of blood test, MRI's, etc. So you might think this guy is right around the corner and easy for me to go to. Nope. At one time it was a 12 minute drive but years ago I moved and now it's about 1 hr 40 min drive 1 way if I catch good traffic. As  a doctor it's worth the drive.

I was concerned that I wouldn't find another Dr as good as my previous physician. I called Family Health Care to establish myself as a new patient, and was paired with Dr Veerappa. I have to say, how lucky I am to have found him. He is such a wonderful Dr & human being. I've been going through major medical issues for 1.5 yrs now, and he has been there for me every step of the way. I have been discouraged with my condition, and thought he would get tired of me. He genuinely cares about me as a patient, and has the best bedside manner. He spends plenty of time with me, and listens to everything I have to say without rushing. He is caring, compassionate & lets me vent, cry, whatever I need ... He is there for me! I highly recommend Dr Veerappa as a Primary Care Physician. He is truly a wonderfuil Dr!!
