I agree with the above reviewer…read more Dr. Jim Rong Hur is one of the most egotistical and verbally abusive doctors I have ever encountered. My primary was not available when I gave birth to my daughter. Dr. Hur was on duty, and was verbally abusive to me when my husband was out of the room because HE didn't know my medical history, despite the fact that: 1) He had seen me at his practice when my primary wasn't available 2) I brought my medical records WITH ME to the hospital As if it wasn't enough to berate a woman going through labor, he came back the next morning to complain more! Because of his horrible doctoring skills, I have memories of a traumatic birth instead of a beautiful event including my daughter. This required therapy and my therapist recommended I report him to the medical board. The ONLY reason that I'm not filing a complaint against him is that my primary doctor works for him. RUN, don't walk, away from this sad little man and his excuse for medical skills in our community.

I also forgot to mention in my previous review that I noticed he is much nicer to his Asian…read morepatients. At least this has always been my impression of him. He'll wave and joke with his Asian patients but if your any other race he's just straight forward goes through the process and you are out the door. I also forgot to mention that when I first started seeing him I started chatting with one of his patients in the waiting room. Since I was new I asked her about her thoughts on Dr Hur. She said he was a good doctor IF you have no issues. She was totally right on because Dr Hur was fine until I had complications during my pregnancy and another incident with my overies. I want a doctor that can handle anything so Dr Hur didn't work out for me. I recently switched to Dr Levine and her office is just half a mile from Dr Hur! She is wonderful and have complete confidence she can handle anything. Be on the safe side and do not use Dr Hur.

My due date is just a couple weeks away and I have a doula who will be attending the birth and he was very open and supporting the plan. He is gentle and has great bedside manners. My husband enjoys talking to him as well about the pregnancy and what to expect in the next couple of weeks. The best part is the doulas (Luma Doulas) we hired really like him and was thrilled that he was going to be taking over for the rest of my pregnancy. They stated that he is very hands off and allows the mom to make full decisions without being pushy. If you are wanting to try an un-medicated labor with doulas for your labor and would like a physician that is understanding and accommodating he is absolutely phenomenal. My husband and I are not crunchy but for our labor experience we wanted to make sure it was smooth and as stress-free as possible. I am open to medication and allowing Dr. Tiglao to guide me when it is medically necessary, but to be able to experience and at least try my best without the use of pain meds is my initial goal! Will do an updated review for Good Samaritan once we deliver! Don't hesitate to give Dr. Tiglao a call the Los Olivos Group has been a great experience for us as first time parents.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Belton. I had my daughter 3 years ago and was very sad to learn that Dr…read more belton is now working in a high risk department in Alameda County. When I was pregnant, he saw some complications and immediately referred me out to a specialist. He was very caring and even followed up wtih me and let me know the test results when they came in. He was wonderful at birth and let me go as long as I could. Unfortunately, I was a very high risk pregnancy and he respected the fact that I wanted to do a natural birth. He let me go as long as he could. The wonderful thing is that he suctured my c-section incision instead of using staples. Everything went very well and he was an amazing and gentle person and if you have the opportunity to be under his care, you are indeed a very lucky person.

It was great being in the hands of a skilled doctor who knows The Great Physician. I am preparing for gynecological surgery again soon and so wish I were near enough to have him be my doctor again. I relocated back to the East Coast in 2001. The doctors here have a tough act to follow.

A month before summer ended, my 8 year old daughter broke her arm by falling off the back of my…read morehusband's pick up truck. Since we were in between insurances, I went with a dr. who could see her the day I called and who also had an x-ray machine in the office. Dr. Tuch's office was perfect. The Dr. was great, his office staff was polite, and it was convenient since he could x-ray my daughter's arm right then and then again in a week to make sure it was healing properly. After a month, she got the cast off and was good as new! He took another x-ray, gave me and my kids a little lesson about how bones regrow, and his nurse tolerated a crowd watching the removal of the cast. Of course, without insurance it wasn't exactly cheap, but it seemed reasonable enough. I would definitely go back to Dr. Tuch should the need arise. On another note, when my toddler recently fell and fractured her shin bone, I called Dr. Tuch's office to see if they could see her. The Dr. wasn't in that day, so they recommended a different Dr., who is just starting out. I thought that was kind and professional.

I am trying to be optimistic. My son has seen Dr. Tuch in the past although I have not met the…read moreDoctor personally. I had overlooked a bill, so I called in to pay, acknowledged it was an oversight on my part, the women who answered was not too pleasant, I am assuming the office was having "computer problems" although she never did say that. She said "do you have your statement with the balance, because I cannot see that right now. BUT I can take your credit card number and process it." OK???? I explained that the office called me for a payment and that I was trying to clear it up, so she asked me the name on the account, I told her and we moved on. Then I asked to schedule an appointment. ..her reply was "I will have to call you back, I can't do that right now." ????? OK???? Lol...if she calls back, and if I get treated better, I will probably change my review..but in my opinion, First Impressions...are what typically stays in my head...js I did get a call back, explaining that the computers were down (frustrating) so I know how that can be. We got scheduled promptly ( which is typical for the this office. Now I can go on with my day :)

A Well-Oiled Office…read more.... Pros: People are top of the line. Good location and parking. Cons: Waiting room is often crowded. Office interiors are a bit frayed. Suggestion: Patients - Be flexible with your schedule. Dr and Staff - Declutter the office and give it a fresh coat of paint. Star Ratings: - Overall: 4 - Scheduling: 5 - Waiting for Appts: 4 - Location: 4 - Waiting Room: 3 - Wait Time: 4 - Technicians: 5 - Dr Hirschfeld: 5 - Office Environment: 3 - Billing: 4 - Parking: 4 - Restrooms: 3 ( needs more cleanup ) It's probably just a sign of age. When you're 11, you go to the orthodontist for braces. When you're 61, you go to the dermatologist, gastroenterologist, internist, opthamologist, podiatrist, rheumatologist and, of course, the urologist...not to mention the chiropractor, physical therapist and dentist ( if you have any teeth left ). So it came as little surprise I needed to see the cardiologist. When I first noticed some scary symptoms in 2009, such as chest pain, my primary care physician heartily recommended me to Dr Hirschfeld. A series of tests at that time revealed no problem, but when similar problems occurred recently, I made a fast dash ( maybe a brisk walk ) back to his office. - Scheduling: The calendar belongs to Patty, Dr Hirschfeld's receptionist. She's very good at juggling appointments which is necessary since the caseload seems quite high and the wait for non-emergency procedures is rather long. - Waiting For Appointments: Depends on the severity of your situation. My initial "stress test" was scheduled within a week of a request, possibly because it came from my doctor. Something was a bit suspicious, but the follow-up "stress echo" took 3 weeks to get on the calendar. Your flexibility in hour of arrival will also be rewarded. My job limited appointments to the afternoon. - Location: In a "relatively new" building at the west end of the Good Samaritan campus. 15 years isn't new, but compared to 40 in the main hospital it is. Good access to nearby roads. - Waiting Room: Fairly small, especially for the number of patients seen by the 3 doctors who share the facility. There are many magazines to read, but you might do so standing up or elbow-to-elbow with a neighboring chair. - Wait Time: Not too bad, considering the high volume of patients. Apart from completing any paperwork, plan to sit for 5-15 minutes. - Assistants and Technicians: Everyone I met seemed conscientious, friendly, knowledgeable and understanding of pain which is particularly important as the treadmill accelerates and incline is raised until your face turns red. Once your blood pressure reaches a certain level and you're about to "cry uncle", they'll help you recover at your own pace. - Dr Hirschfeld: For a guy with seniority in the profession, he's surprisingly energetic and highly involved. On both occasions, he answered all my questions and made time to double-check the symptoms. That's in contrast to my experience in 2009 when I feel he didn't take my issues seriously. - Office Environment: About as you'd expect...busy, a bit cluttered and shopworn around the edges after many years in the same location. - Billing: Efficient. They get your insurance information up front and paperwork is handled behind the scenes where it belongs. I've only to cover a co-pay at each appointment. - Parking: Plenty in a parking structure to the north plus scattered spaces to the east toward Good Samaritan and the older, single floor medical offices. Overall, I'd recommend Dr Hirschfeld and his staff. It's like a well-oiled machine... although a bit overworked.
