Dr. Ettekal is the Director for Marin Community Clinics. He…read moreis by far one of the best doctors I've had and an asset to the clinic. As most Doctors over the years are less personable, focusing solely on numbers, less on Patient care, it's refreshing to find one that actually gets to know you. He's smart, caring, attentive, patient and proactive, you can tell he's always strives to make a difference. Dr. Ettekal treats the whole person - not just the symptoms- consistently going above and beyond on all levels, as he really listens and makes sure you're well taken care of. Our Community is lucky to have such a great Doctor. ‍ Wish we had more.

He is happy to consult with my specialists, and recommends both medications and lifestyle changes I can make for a range of issues. He's also really great at responding to emails, and makes sure to circle back to check on how I am doing for a particular issue we talked about last. Before Dr Fakhouri, I didn't have a regular primary care doctor as most issues were handled by specialists. But I am so glad this has changed! He certainly makes my life easier, and is a trusted resource. Not to mention, I would totally be friends with him outside of our professional relationship- he's great at being supportive and putting you at ease.

His educational and research background (both impressive!) just underline the quality of service he is bound to offer. His professionalism, yet emphatic charisma are always present in his dialogue, showing that he brings the human side we always care for and want in a doctor. He listens, he cares, he wants things done, and above all: he goes for keeping your health in good shape! A round of applause to you doctor, you good Sir, are certainly being recommended! Bravissimo!

Best Doctor Ever!!!…read more I have had the best care by Dr. Nadella. She is the first Doctor that actually listen to me. She gives a personal touch to her practice. She always gets back to me and is available to answer my questions. I am against the western medicine mindset to prescribe drugs to fix the symptoms but not actually address the illness.... and cure the problem, SHE actually recommend a holistic Doctor for me to go see! Can you believe that! She listen and prescribed what I believe in. She allowed me to do a natural approach first. We agreed if it did not give us the results were were looking for we would discuss other methods of treatment. Dr. Nadella, during my appointment gave me information to help me on my road to healing my body. I am not talking about handing me one or two pamphlets and rushing me out the door. She gave me information that she had researched on her own and had put together for her patients to use. She also asked me what had been working for me and what Websites that I go to for my information. She was gathering information from me to possibly help her other patients. I LOVE this! I recommend One Medical and Dr. Nadella. I always receive 5 star treatment. Yes, it cost a bit more; however, there service is definitely worth it!

Wow!! What a great doctor!…read more Seeking a new doctor after sheltering in place in Sonoma because of the pandemic, I luckily found Dr. Gleser. Professional, personable and thorough, he is a fantastic primary care physician. Unlike other providers, he is warm and caring, spends time explaining medical issues and promptly follows up with a report and analysis of test results. His office is right in Sonoma with plenty of parking, and It's easy to schedule an appointment. This is what medicine should be. If you are looking for a primary care physician, look no further than Dr. Gleser.

I have a brain tumor. I also have thyroid nodules…read more That sounds so scary, I know. Imagine reading MRI results that tells you that. I spent the next 24 hours obsessively reading everything I could about both because we live in an age where information is abundant - with equal measure of disinformation. My strategy was to familiarize myself with what the MRI detected, what the prognosis is, and how to get back to good health. I wanted to make sure I did my part to learn the anatomical and medical terminology so that I could get the most out of my time with the endocrinologist, the expert, Dr. Pitroda. Did I mention how terrified I was to go to this appointment? I was. The male nurse who took my blood pressure was polite and soft spoken which helped. I didn't like my first bp reading so I asked him to take it again. Telling you, I was terrified. Dr Pitroda came into the room and immediately let me know she read my chart. She asked a couple of questions that lead to an organic conversation. She confirmed some things I was worried about. Then she asked if she could biopsy my thyroid. I said yes because I was already there. I also knew if I had to go back, I would fail to show up, this is super important and I am going to keep saying this in 2024 in the hope we as a society can handle this better. I HAVE DIAGNOSED PTSD AND ANXIETY. I am a domestic abuse survivor. Any kind of appointment that pokes and prods or I have to go into that claustrophobic MRI tube terrifies me. I have flashback night terrors until the appointment day. Sometimes the nightmares/night terrors continue days after the appointment leaving me exhausted day after day. Considering this, I said yes, do it same day. I didn't want to create a situation where I would endure unnecessary stress waiting for the appointment. The doctor turned on peaceful music and left the room while her male nurse brought in the biopsy tray. Then she got to work. It wasn't comfortable, but she explained what was going to happen so I knew what to expect. I appreciate her calm, kind demeanor because again, I was terrified. Her male nurse was also really calm and kind which helped me. I once again am making my goal this year to leave when I feel unsafe. Speak up when I feel mistreated. Be kinder to myself knowing I am navigating a world that is extra challenging for me. People who can be a little kinder, a little more patient, give a little grace - those are the people I want to partner with on my medical team. Dr Pitroda is all of those things. I am thankful. 5 stars for perfection.

Beware of this dangerously unethical endocrinologist at Kaiser's San Rafael location. She put me…read morethrough an unnecessary and protracted evaluation for Neuroendocrine tumors in 2014-15, which no other doctor thinking clearly would have done. She even failed to diagnose diabetes, in spite of labs indicating I met diagnostic criterion and while suffering a multitude of classic diabetes symptoms. The evaluation was due to an elevated tumor marker called Pancreatic Polypeptide, however, it was elevated due to Dr. Pitroda not ordering it as a fasting test. Taking this test w/out fasting is equivalent to having your blood sugar tested after eating a case of donuts. The elevation was dramatic, more so than normal, further suggesting Diabetes. I later told Pitroda I learned it was supposed to be a fasting test from an intake coordinator at UCSF, she then advised fasting from protein and exercise abstinence prior to the test - she was adamant about her instructions. The result was still elevated. I went on to receive hundreds of years worth of radiation with 5 or so CT scans, all with contrast, including an Octreoscan - far more radiation than the allowable amount of exposure deemed 'safe' for people who work around radiation are permitted in a one year period and I received in approx 6 months. All scans were negative, yet she persevered saying how I could have a 'silent neuroendocrine tumor' hiding out in my body. Another doctor eventually repeated the test with others he ordered requiring total fasting, the result was perfectly normal. He also concurred the pancreatic polypeptide was to be a total, not partial, fasting test. Guess what Arpita Pitroda did then? She made a fraudulent entry in my medical record to conceal that she had provided erroneous test prep instructions, writing the test became normal due to 'acid suppression.' I've been on rx acid suppression since approximately 2005. When I questioned her about her entry she became very uncomfortable and moved to abruptly end the phone call, nervously and quickly saying she'd 'look into it.' I never heard from her again. During the course, Dr. Pitroda consulted with her colleague on the east coast. She didn't disclose she failed to advise fasting for the culprit test, nor my May 2014 A1C of 6.5, which according to Kaiser's own website is diagnostic of Diabetes. Her colleague suggested menopause or Autonomic Neuropathy. He suggested several lab tests and recording heart rate variability. We knew I was not in menopause but my symptoms were consistent with Autonomic Neuropathy and POTS. She never recorded heart rate variability, only ran one of the suggested blood tests and didn't send for immediate evaluation for autonomic nervous system problems which I had inquired about a million times over the years but was always rebuffed. I was finally formally diagnosed with POTS but it took over a year from when this evaluation began. In further reviewing my medical record, I found Pitroda omitted many important symptoms and didn't record things she told me, like once when she listened to my heart and claimed she heard mitral regurgitation. She also didn't note right arm swelling or tremor, which she herself pointed out and asked me about. She let my hypertensive spikes rage out of control for months on end and dangerously heighten while I was prescribed multiple medications with severe interaction ratings, carrying stern warnings of a HIGH probability of death. She didn't address uncontrolled diabetes, which is unfathomable for an endocrinologist, especially when it explained MANY of my symptoms and she nuked the hell out of me, causing my family and I significant and unjustified worry and stress. Moral of the story: Do not trust Doctors, especially this one -- do your homework and don't take no for an answer.

I went to see Dr. O'Regan yesterday for a new patient exam. I indicated to the scheduling staff…read morethat I was experiencing severe neck and shoulder pain and needed to see the doctor. It has always been my understanding through the Anthem Blue Cross HMO system that if a patients wants a referral to a specialist, they can do so, but first must meet with their PCP. So while at first Dr. O'Regan seemed friendly, towards the end of my very short 15-minute appointment, she managed to leave a very bad first impression. So much so that I sat on the exam table in utter disbelief that a doctor of her "maturity" could be so apathetic towards a patient. Before deciding to switch to another PCP, I asked myself these questions. What sort of doctor would refuse your request to see a specialist when you've stated you've had chronic joint pain? Instead, Dr. O'Regan said she's determine my pain was solely muscular and that I didn't need a referral. I have never had a PCP refuse my request for a referral. What sort of doctor would refuse to write a letter to your employer to request certain work area accommodations be made to reduce your muscular pain (chronic or not)? Again, this wasn't a difficult request and it certainly wouldn't have taken Dr. O'Regan more than a couple of minutes to write. What sort of doctor would refuse to answer questions of a concerned patient who asks for her doctor's professional advice? Instead, Dr. O'Regan said she didn't have time because she had a busy schedule and that answering my question would require me to make another appointment for an office visit! I even explained to her that I worked in SF and try to minimize the time away from work. The time it took for her to explain why she couldn't answer my questions was enough time to answer most of my concerns to begin with! I have NEVER had a doctor tell me she didn't have time for me. How can she be a doctor with this attitude? I also shared my negative experience with my work colleagues, friends, and husband and the consensus was that if Dr. O'Regan could be so cold by showing more concern about the number of patients she had to see in the day (that's managed healthcare for you!) rather than show empathy and concern for her patient sitting in front of her, she would be unlikely to show empathy or concern for me in the future. No problem here, Dr. O'Regan. I will gladly give up my spot on your exam table for the next unlucky patient who doesn't value her time as much as I do. Bye-bye

IF she's even taking new patients these days, I'd recommend her in a second - she definitely knows what she's doing...
