After being an employee at Peninsula Integrative for a few months, I was unfortunately in a…read morehorrible car accident that left me with concussive symptoms and broken ribs. I was unable to focus, had horrible headaches and brain food and was unable to move. My primary simply put me on pain medications and sleep medications for the nightmares. I felt like I was in a trance and that I was not getting better at all. Having law school applications and a busy schedule, being bed ridden was extremely disheartening. This led to increased anxiety and depression. I felt like my primary did not understand what I was going through and was simply treating my symptoms leading to adverse side effects. After this horrible experience, I began to consult with Dr. Green who listened to what I was going through and started me on a comprehensive regime of supplements along with lifestyle changes. Within a few weeks, I had my focus back and my concussive symptoms such as the brain fog had decreased. Dr. Green also helped me to cope with the side effects of the pain medications I was on such as the constipation and tiredness that comes along with narcotics. Within a few weeks, I felt much more like myself and am forever grateful that she took the time to treat me as a person rather than a set of symptoms. Dr. Green has also performed PIT injections and acupuncture on me for pain as well as for my migraine headaches. She is extremely knowledgeable in treating you for a wide variety of medical problems with quite an expansive tool belt for wholistic, comprehensive care that leave no stones unturned. The telemedicine option also provides for greater flexibility if you have a busy schedule like me. Not only is Dr. Green knowledgeable in the field of naturopathic medicine, but on top of this she is extremely caring, a good listener and most importantly kind. Unlike traditional doctors who are on a time and expense crunch to treat the patient as quick as possible, Dr. Green will take her time to get to know you beyond your systems. Having worked in health care for many years, this is something that is extremely hard to come by. If you are looking for personalized empathetic medical care, she is the doctor for you. I highly recommend booking an appointment because rather than a transactional experience, with Dr. Green's care, you are part of a partnership and friendship to get yourself to optimal health and wellness. I truly believe that if it wasn't for Dr. Green's care that I would not have gotten into law school this past year and that I would have lost a year being stuck on medications with adverse effects. For that, I'm extremely grateful!! Everyone deserves to feel at their best and Dr. Green will help you get there.

She's very friendly, a great listener, and I finally feel like I have a health expert in my corner who wants me to thrive. I have more energy than I've had in years - I highly recommend Dr. Green!

I recently had to get another FNA shortly after seeing Dr Srinivasan. Needless to say, I was not looking forward to it. Dr. Srinivasan assured me she'd never had anyone swear at her from the pain, so I took that as a good sign. While it wasn't the most pleasant experience of my life (please call me if someone makes the process of getting needles stuck in one's neck a pleasant experience - not possible), it was no more painful than a shot! I was handed an ice pack and I think that really ensured that I'd have no pain the next day. I assured Dr Srinivasan that she'd performed the best biopsy I'd ever had and she'd get 5 stars for it - so here they are. In addition to her stellar biopsy skills (right in the office, no trip to the hospital), she's been an informative and attentive endocrinologist. I highly recommend her!

This is an overdue review. I saw Dr. Raphael during the pandemic. She was my first naturopathic…read moredoctor and the first doctor I had seen completely virtually. She took detailed information and concerns of mine. She was able to put in bloodwork I needed to the lab but I was able to take her recommended lab work to have my doctor put it in so that some of the lab work would be covered by insurance. The lab work is much more extensive than the basic lab work your traditional doctor does for you. Her lab work was able to have her give you recommendations on supplements and diet. The lab work is an eye opener to seeing how unbalanced my body was. Just before having the vaccine, she instructed me on what tinctures to take prior to having the vaccine so that wouldn't have any or mild side effects. The first two vaccines I took the tinctures and I barely had any symptoms. When the booster came out and I completely forgot about taking the tinctures, I had a headache and was tired for two days. I won't forget to take this going forward now. If you're looking for a naturopathic doctor, I highly recommend Dr. Kizzy Raphael where ever you are located. She does a wonderful job working with patients virtually. Her attention to detail and her eagerness to want to resolve your health issues makes her a vital part of your wellbeing.

Dr. Kizzy has helped me obtain a quality of life I didn't think was possible. I had lost faith in…read moretraditional doctors, having been told countless times from more doctors than I can remember that "I'm fine". I'd been through Kaiser, PAMF, Sutter Health; nobody would listen and nobody would help. I felt so hopeless, defeated and truly sick. I was experiencing debilitating fatigue, excruciating pain in my tailbone, extreme nausea, issues with overactive bladder, blood in my stool, a swollen abdomen, weight that I couldn't lose no matter what I tried ...the list goes on. Every day was a struggle and every day I felt so unwell, and there was no explanation. The nausea has been affecting me for over 30 years. The final straw that pushed me to find help outside of what my insurance would cover, was testing positive for colon cancer at 46. I didn't really have the money to seek alternative care, but feeling like I was on the brink of death motivated me to reprioritize my life and figure it out. I found Dr. Kizzy out of sheer desperation. I chose her because of the reviews I read. I could write pages and pages about how wonderful she is, but to summarize, I feel amazing! I don't have colon cancer. I was completely misdiagnosed by Kaiser. They kept running the same tests over and over. They refused to deviate and expand the parameters of their testing even though I wasn't getting better. They told me my ailments were all in my head. Dr. Kizzy was able to determine I had SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth), H.pylori (very common, from food poisoning) and that my adrenal gland function was extremely low. I've been a patient of Dr. Kizzy for a little over a year now and for the first time in my entire life, I'm ok. I will be forever grateful for her help! She actually listened and cared. · Debilitating Fatigue - Dr. Kizzy treated my adrenal gland function, and I have so much energy now! · Excruciating Tailbone Pain - It was from chronic stress, which led to pressure and muscle tension in my pelvic floor muscles. She recommended an amazing therapist (Taryn Weinkam, PhD) who helped me release the trauma I've been holding onto for so many years. My pain is gone! · Overactive Bladder - It was my body's response to being in a constant state of "fight or flight". The therapy helped with this as well, it's no longer an issue. · Extreme Nausea - It was from H.pylori. Nausea is one of the main symptoms. If Kaiser or Sutter had run a simple test, this could have been diagnosed decades ago. My nausea is completely gone. · Swollen Abdomen & Bloody Stool - Both of these were from SIBO and both are no longer present. · Excess Weight - SIBO contributed to this, but so did the feeling of hopelessness. I credit both Dr. Kizzy and therapy. Our bodies react to our mental state. I've dropped 30 lbs and fit back into clothes I never thought I'd be able to wear again. There is really something to that whole "mind, body, spirit" thing. I highly recommend Dr. Kizzy!

Without thoroughly checking with the insurance- not submitting a prior authorization, my insurance denied the medication. I had to call Dr. Jue's office, pharmarcy and insurance.

After calling several times for 2 weeks to schedule appointment and explaining confirmation that Medicare has confirmed and is my primary insurance and Dr. Jue could not deny seeing me, they still would not schedule an appointment even tho their schedule appointments are 2 months out.

I cannot warn you enough about this doctor. She deserves zero stars - the one star here goes to her…read morestaff who, unlike the doctor, was extremely helpful. I showed up to Dr. Sridhar's office looking for a long-term endocrinologist to treat my Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I had already been diagnosed by my OB/GYN who ran the tests, but I was moving to the Bay Area and looking for someone local to prescribe medication. I showed up to Dr. Sridhar with complete lab results and an ultrasound of my ovaries. Despite the fact that I had high TPO(Ab) - which is widely considered a definitive indicator of Hashimoto's, she insisted that my symptoms were not caused by a thyroid problem because my TSH was normal. Instead, she said I was likely tired due to the fact that I was planning an Indian wedding. I informed her that my fatigue had persisted for many years and that I had data proving a low body temperature (often considering a sign of thyroid malfunction) going back three years; she refused to consider my symptoms (which I had logged extensively) and kept pointing back to the single TSH result. She proceeded to demonstrate a complete medical incompetence, being unaware of how women can confirm ovulation without testing (hint: hundreds of millions of women around the world use NFP and there's more than one app for that) and what result on an ultrasound would confirm the diagnosis she wanted to provide (PCOS). She told me that losing weight might help with my supposed PCOS, but had basically no other advice. Later, I went to an incredible OB/GYN who asked for Dr. Sridhar's notes. During our appointment, she asked "Did the endo mention something about losing weight?" Briefly, I replied. "Because that's basically all she wrote all over these notes." At that point, I was about 15 pounds overweight (over normal BMI). Weight gain is a common symptom of Hashimoto's. My OB/GYN looks at my labs, treated me for Hashimoto's, and I shed 20 pounds in about 3-4 months. My antibodies are down and my symptoms have improved. They say it takes on average a decade for patients with Hashimoto's to get treated. Patronizing and incompetent doctors like Dr. Sridhar are the reason. I've been to numerous doctors who have suggested that I'm tired because it's "just stress" or try vitamins or "eat healthier" or whatever other garbage. I couldn't possibly be sick (even if my tests prove it!) because I looked like a normal 25 year old woman. Dr. Sridhar is the sort of doctor who makes you stop trusting medical professionals.
