"Professional, Friendly, Competent"…read more No one wants to have Parkinson's disease, but if you do, this doctor is a good choice. We have found her to be very sharp on the subject of neurological diseases. We asked quite a few questions, and she knew the answers right away. Clearly, she is an expert in the field. I guess that's why she wins all those awards. I noticed she again won the top Neurologist in the Bay Area award last year. The doctor recommended a certain imaging procedure to test dopamine levels in the brain. This is the best way to try to isolate Parkinson's. When we got the Dopamine results back, she was very encouraging, and immediately prescribed a particularly effective drug. We feel we are in good hands with this physician.

Updating my review 13 years later!…read more I still adore Dr. Sachdeva and her entire staff. They are so kind and truly caring. Not only has Dr. Sachdeva still been managing my Multiple Sclerosis, but she has also recently been helping treat my migraines. Sylvia, her nurse, is also just so amazing! I know I can call them and they will have my best interest at heart. It's so hard to find a neurologist with a personality, but Dr. Sachdeva is like a doctor and a mom all rolled into one. She will empathize with you but also tell you how it is, in a way that is non threatening. She is the reason why I'm on Ocrevus and haven't had any new lesions in 3 years!!! Be prepared for long waits. It can be frustrating but once you are in the room with you her, you understand why. She truly takes the time to know you, and to talk to you. You will instantly forgot how long you waited once you start talking to her!

After suffering a deep upper spinal and neck pain with stiffness that affected my daily life, I…read morefinally discovered an outstanding body work practitioner. From my very first session, Chris took the time to thoroughly assess my posture, movement patterns, and the underlying causes of my discomfort. Each visit was a masterclass in body physical therapy--combining precise, knowledgeable hands-on techniques with good dialogue and communication about what was happening with my body. Chris has a holistic approach. He didn't just focus on my neck; instead, he considered how my entire body worked in harmony, addressing areas I didn't even realize were contributing to my pain. He listened, adapted the treatment plan to my needs, and encouraged me throughout the healing process. I noticed dramatic improvements. My neck became increasingly flexible, the pain subsided, and I felt stronger and more aligned. Simple everyday movements that once caused discomfort now came easily, and my overall well-being improved. The experience was transformative, giving me freedom from pain and a renewed sense of vitality. I am incredibly grateful for this. I wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone seeking genuine healing, improved mobility, and a true partner on their journey to better health.

This past year, I experienced an extremely traumatic family crisis that completely upended my…read moreworld. For months, I struggled with severe anxiety, depression, and debilitating PTSD symptoms. Medication was only helping a little bit, and I didn't want to rely solely on it. I was looking for something that could provide more immediate and lasting relief, which led me to the Brain Wellness Center in San Ramon for TMS treatment. Before beginning treatment, I was in profound distress. I experienced intense visceral emotional reactions and PTSD symptoms that felt overwhelming. My trigger responses were debilitating and sometimes turned violent--I was throwing things, breaking things, and unable to control my rage. The emotional flooding was extreme, often leaving me gasping for air and doubled over in pain. I had strong urges to self-harm and uncontrollable impulses toward physical aggression, which I sometimes acted on. I couldn't engage in any therapeutic work--I couldn't even look at books about my type of trauma without becoming dysregulated. My mind was trapped in constant rumination and obsessive thoughts. The anxiety was so severe that I felt like I was losing myself. After completing 50 sessions of TMS, the transformation has been remarkable. I developed motivation for basic self-care like going to sleep early and taking vitamins--things that felt impossible before. When triggered now, I still feel anger surge through me, but I no longer have the urge to be physically aggressive. I can now engage in therapeutic work, reading books about my trauma and participating in therapy discussions. I still feel discomfort, but it's manageable--not the dysregulating panic I experienced before. I've learned to disengage and down-regulate when triggered. I'm calmer and better able to care for myself instead of drowning in obsessive thoughts. The compulsion toward physical aggression has dramatically decreased. My anxiety is much less intense--I can redirect my attention to self-care, and the upset no longer overwhelms me. Most importantly, I'm no longer on my knees or doubled over in emotional pain. I am able to walk toward healing. The doctors at Brain Wellness Center are truly exceptional. Both Dr. Hashemian and Dr. Palmer are deeply compassionate, excellent listeners, and incredibly knowledgeable--they've been doing this work for decades and are true experts. I felt confident I was in capable hands. What I appreciated most was their honest approach with no sales pressure. They truly want you to make the best choice for you, whether that means working with them or another TMS specialist. They were thorough in their assessments and committed to tracking progress systematically. Week by week, I could literally see the steady decline in my anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms through their comprehensive measurements. The most dramatic improvement was in my anxiety symptoms. I would say that I started feeling really noticeable relief from my symptoms after about 6 sessions. Next to the treatment's effectiveness, I was most impressed with the staff. Mayra, Angelica, Autumn, and Olivia work seamlessly as the techs and coordination team. They are incredibly kind, consistently professional while genuinely warm and caring, and highly skilled. You can tell they're happy in their work environment. They were efficient with scheduling, accommodating with changes, and excellent at follow-through and communication. Appointments always started on time, and the facility was meticulously clean. I felt genuinely taken care of throughout all 50 sessions. TMS at Brain Wellness Center gave me my life back. I went from being unable to function, violent in my reactions, and contemplating self-harm to being able to engage in healing work, regulate my emotions, and move forward with my life. The relief I sought--something more immediate and lasting than medication alone--is exactly what I found. If you're struggling with depression, anxiety, or PTSD, I cannot recommend Brain Wellness Center highly enough. Thank you to Dr. Hashemian, Dr. Palmer, Mayra, Angelica, Autumn, and Olivia for helping me find my way back to myself. The healing journey continues.

I've been coming to VibrantCare for about two and a half months for physical therapy after having…read morecarpal tunnel release surgery, and I can't speak highly enough of my experience. I've been working primarily with James throughout my rehab, and also had the opportunity to work with Carlena during a few of my sessions. Both have been excellent and truly helped me regain strength, mobility, and confidence in my wrist -- I've seen major progress in getting back to my normal activities, especially with sports and fitness. Each session is thoughtfully structured: starting with a warm-up using the warm wax to loosen up the wrist and hand, followed by manual therapy to improve flexibility, and finishing with targeted exercises and mobility work to strengthen and stabilize the joint. While I still have some mild stiffness (as expected with nerve recovery), I feel much better equipped thanks to everything I've learned from James and Carlena. They've taken the time to educate me throughout the process so I can continue to progress on my own even after "graduating" from PT. Beyond the therapy itself, the environment at VibrantCare is welcoming and encouraging -- I always felt supported, motivated, and well cared for. Both James and Carlena are true professionals and great people to work with, and I won't hesitate to return if I ever need therapy again in the future. Highly recommend!

I have been seeing Dr. Severin for the last 4 years for a glaucoma suspect diagnosis. Dr. Severin…read morehas been a wonderful glaucoma specialist for me. I followed up with him every 4-6 months in San Ramon office. I give him a 5-star for his care, friendliness and expertise. A zero star for the front desk and scheduler staff. Awful customer service. It was so difficult to get an appointment as a new patient at that time but I patiently waited because of Dr. Severin's reputation. If it's not because of Dr. Severin I won't choose this office. The receptionist and schedulers were racist and very rude. They were full of attitudes and not helpful at all. There were always at least 3-4 staff sitting at the front desk/schedule desk but they never pick up the phone! Try calling them if you don't believe me. Last year, an elderly receptionist bluntly lied and told me Dr. Severin was not in the office and they assigned me another doctor without any notification/heads-up. While sitting in the waiting room I heard Dr. Severin's voice and asked the assistant about it. She told me yes, that was him. I was very upset to be told lies!! The assistant was very nice and apologized. I told her I needed to know the reason why I was told a lie. Very unprofessional! She said an office manager wasn't there and asked me if I wanted a follow-up. I said yes and NOBODY ever called back!! Obviously they didn't give a shit of my concern! My last visit this week, after finishing up seeing Dr. Severin one of the girls (short hair, young) rolled her eyes when I asked "when is the latest time to schedule a follow up appointment?" She looked so annoyed and unbothered with my very simple question. That kind of attitude was not tolerable! I didn't see her treated Caucasian patients like that. Well, now that Dr. Severin is retiring then this office has no value for me to continue my eye care. I will find another glaucoma specialist who has decent, helpful and friendly staff. It's sad to experience all this mistreatment from a well-known Glaucoma specialist office in East Bay. Very very unfortunate!

The front desk is AWFUL. They literally won't answer the phone or respond to emails…read more They didn't send my info to my insurance which they had on file and almost resulted in collections.

At some point my insurance bill was sent to a company I've never even heard of, they have my actual insurance on file. This doesn't make any sense because they have submitted prior claims to the correct company in the past. The front desk all together was an absolute mess, Dr. Ball is a skilled surgeon, Dr. Shrada was awesome, but these people at the front need to be held accountable... ABSOLUTE NEGLIGENCE!

Dr. Armand is another wonderful doctor on the team, and he offers holistic-style treatment options that are absolutely worth exploring. It's refreshing to have a veterinarian who can provide alternative approaches along with traditional care, giving you more choices for your pet's health and comfort. The front staff, Lina and Alicia, are absolute gems. They're caring, patient, and highly detailed in everything they do--whether it's scheduling appointments, answering questions, or making my dogs feel comfortable the moment we arrive. Their warmth and attentiveness set the tone for every visit. Nick, one of their incredible vet techs, is truly exceptional. His dedication goes far beyond expectations--he's even followed up on my dogs' well-being on his day off. That level of commitment is rare and speaks volumes about how deeply he cares. Even though Oak Tree PET HOSPITAL handles urgent care and emergency cases, they are fully equipped with the proper medical technology to provide high-level, efficient treatment. Their prices are extremely reasonable for the outstanding service, expertise, and attention they deliver. The facility itself is spacious, clean, and welcoming. There's plenty of room outside to walk your dogs after their visit, and the area feels safe and comfortable. Plus, the PetSmart right across the street is a great added convenience--perfect for picking up treats, food, or anything else your pet might need right after an appointment. This entire team is truly special. My dogs love it there, and I'm so grateful to have found a place with doctors, veterinary technicians, and staff who genuinely care about my boys. Highly, highly recommended!
