She zoomed right in on my problem, and diagnosed me very quickly and accurately with hypothyroidism. Now I'm on the right meds and feeling so much better. I had been feeling "blah" for YEARS, and now I feel like my old self. We continue to work on several health issues, and I really feel like I'm working WITH her. She talk with you, not at you, and you really feel involved in your care. I appreciate that. I've had doctors in the past who just liked to lecture and made me feel insignificant, and I have no hesitation in "firing" doctors like that. Cathy is genuinely interested in helping her patients decide on the right solutions for them. The office staff and lab staff have been nothing but friendly, helpful, and professional. I'm always seen on time. I feel valued as a client and respected as a patient.

Horrible service. This used to be an amazing place to get personalized care and wellness. Our (my…read morehusband & me) NP of almost 8 years left and based on the factory it is now is any indication then I totally understand. She would listen and talk about what's best for us. Now all you get is basic text book condescending treatment. Dr. Schneider & the other women (sorry forgot name, it wasn't a pleasant enough to remember) know more about our health than we do and have no time to hear about how you feel and what's been working. They are textbook cover my ass policy & time billing driven. It's sad that the Duke name is represented by this level of care.

So let's just be honest here, I hate going to the doctor. It's nothing personal against doctors,…read morethey're great people! I just hate the prospect of being probed, prodded, and stabbed with needles. However I work in the healthcare field and I have seen a lot of things that could have been avoided if people just would have gone to the doctor, so as a result I am a firm believer in yearly check ups. I am also a huge advocate for finding a doctor that you like and trust. Unfortunately due to changes in the healthcare system, doctors rarely have time to spend with their patients. There's always a demand for them to move quickly in between their patients to get to the next one. My husband started going to Dr Grace Tang several years ago and he is her number one fan.....if doctors can have fans..... . She recently moved to this practice and he spent months researching trying to figure out where she had gone. I was also in the search for a good primary care doctor, and when I saw how adamant my husband was about finding dr. Tang so he can continue going to her, I knew she had to be a fantastic dr. (My husband is super picky.) So I made an appointment for my yearly physical. Let's start with the front office staff, on the phone when setting up my appointment they were very professional, and answered all of my questions regarding insurance, billing, and my goals. Upon arrival they were just as professional, kind, and greeted me with a smile as I came in. Unlike most practices, I only had to fill out a couple pieces of paper. Dr. Tang's nurse was also very nice, and professional. She took my height, weight and blood pressure, reviewed a few questions with me, but left the majority of my history for the doctor to do, which is very unusual. Usually the nurse obtains all that information and if the doctor wants to know they have to read it. But that is one of the things that I really appreciated about this experience, the doctor sat & listened to my health history, and wrote her own notes. And then there was the infamous Dr Tang! She was gracious, classy, thoughtful, and actually cared about what I was saying. She sat down and took the time to listen and ask questions. So very unusual from the typical revolving door experience i'm use to. And last but not least came the most dreaded experience for me, lab work! Before we go any further you should be aware I'm a huge needle phobe. I hate needles with a passion.... needles bring about massive amounts of anxiety for me....truly it makes no sense, but that's how it is. Dr. Tang suggested that I stay in the examining room and lay down for the blood draw instead of going to the lab draw room. For me this was an excellent idea! And then in came Brittany. I'm not sure if Brittany was a phlebotomist or nurse who does lab work ( as a result, henceforth she shall be referred to as the blood sucker!) but either way she was amazing! She kept me calm and relaxed with her down home compassionate and sincere demeanor, and she's really good at what she does. I barely felt the needle go in and she worked quickly despite all of the blood that I needed drawn! When it was all said and done I told her she could draw my blood any day. BEST BLOOD SUCKER EVER! !!!!!!!! And believe you me people that's not something I ever say! From start to finish I had an excellent experience at this practice. I highly recommend it to anybody who's looking for a doctor (and staff) who want to take time with their patients and get to know them, and treats them like human beings, not like a herd of cattle they have to get from one location to the next as quickly as possible. Oh! I forgot to mention their patient web portal. I realize more places are turning to this, but I still have not seen it as often as I thought I would. However! They have a simple to navigate web portal where you can email the doctor with questions, see your lab results, and see the suggestions the doctor gives you regarding your lab results. And they do lab results fast! My husband had his results by the next day, with recommendations from the doctor attached.... I totally find this impressive

I had an appointment the next day and she tweaked a med and now I am fine. This wasn't the first time she called me over something. Once she called me on her way home from her car and she sat in her garage for 5 minutes until we finished!. Okay, people, when is the last time you had a doctor call you at home?????? WHEN??? I have no idea if she is accepting new patients but if you are looking for a practitioner, ask if there is a waiting list and GET ON IT!!

Review of Dr Maggie Williams of Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) -Los Altos on Distel Circle…read more Let me start by stating that I am very skeptical of the medical profession in general - has to do with my childhood. Therefore, I am not keen to praise doctors. However, PAMF has a wonderful, smart, caring family doctor that I am compelled to recommend. Her name is Doctor Maggie Williams. Dr Williams is smart, dedicated, experienced, and caring. I have had some major medical issues which Dr. Williams expertly diagnosed and has been helping me resolve. My daughter has a medical issue that her pediatrician and gynecologist misdiagnosed but Dr Williams was quick to diagnose correctly. Dr Williams is conservative and logical in her approach to treatment. She listens and asks intelligent questions. She will order tests when appropriate and will refer patients to specialists both in and outside of PAMF. She will take the time to answer your questions and concerns. She really cares. Like I said, I am very skeptical of the medical profession but if you are looking for an excellent family doctor, then check out Dr. Williams.
