She is on time and she gets you out of there quickly but if you need to ask questions or make requests she really takes the time to answer and make sure you leave with all the information you need.

I hope to keep her as a doctor for many more years and even though she works for an organization that I have had terrible experiences with she is still well worth it. Never had a single complaint about Dr. Lu. In many years under her care. Best Doctor I have ever had and I have had a few really good doctors over my way to old to admit years.

She has that rare combination of deep medical knowledge and genuine empathy. Her bedside manner is incredible--calm, attentive, and always respectful.

Dr. Varma doesn't withhold information or make assumptions--she gives you the full picture and helps you make informed, thoughtful decisions about your health. Her advice is always reasonable, grounded, and personalized. You walk away feeling heard, respected, and cared for--not just treated.

Qualities I seek in a primary care physician:…read more 1. Holistic care - a doctor who asks about all aspects of my health and takes the time to process the information as a whole so that I can improve my overall health. 2. Sensitivity - a doctor who asks about my health & wellness philosophy and attempts to work with me to honor my wishes, someone who does not make assumptions, and does not make biased remarks regarding health or lifestyle. After meeting with Dr. Ali, I can only recommend her on the basis of her friendliness (and that of all other office staff.) Friendliness aside, she doesn't seem to have the crucial qualities that I'm looking for in a doctor. There are quite a number of reasons I wouldn't return to Dr. Ali, but to name a few: Though I explained that this was my first visit to a doctor in a long time and I mostly wanted to talk about my health, Dr. Ali seemed unprepared to have an in-depth conversation. Instead of initiating a conversation about various elements of my health, she immediately asked me about my list of health questions/complaints and rushed me through them. Several of my questions related to diet, blood sugar, weight gain/loss and I felt that they warranted a longer conversation and recommendations beyond various blood testing. Dr. Ali failed my queer-friendly sensitivity test, asking me about oral contraception during a conversation about acne, and immediately launched into statistics about condom failure before I could edge in, "Um, I'm a lesbian." (And we were talking about my SKIN.) Dr. Ali replied "Well, that would have been my next question." All doctors, but especially doctors in the Bay area, should have a conversation with their patients about who they sleep with (and various risky practices they might engage in) before talking about birth control and STD prevention. Because sometimes it's not relevant to talk about contraception to someone who isn't sleeping with men, or is perhaps looking to get pregnant. Which brings me to the last hurrah: Later, when talking about potential ovary issues I might be at risk for, Dr. Ali remarked, "Well, I guess it won't matter since you won't be trying for children." !! Perhaps Dr. Ali is aware of a new law that prohibits gay women from conceiving children? Why would anyone assume that I won't be making use of my ovaries just because I happen to shack up with a lady? Just plain ignorance. So, I'm still on a search for a whole-body-minded practitioner who is hip to the ways of baby-less but maybe someday baby-wanting lesbians. Please send suggestions my way; I won't be back to Dr. Ali.
