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.

She wanted a description of why I wanted the change, and I eventually dredged up a word to describe it, which she translated into 'medical' word I didn't identify with. We had a brief incomplete chat about a couple of my relatives and their diagnoses, ending before the end of my info - and she changed MY diagnosis based on this brief incomplete chat about my relatives - AND she didn't tell me what more severe diagnosis she had changed me to, based on this feeble evidence - AND she resisted changing my diagnosis back to what it had been for 2 decades!

Dr. Chow was my PCP for years. After I left and went with Kaiser I decided to come back as a…read morepatient, after all my record is in the computer there. I liked Dr Chow for his thorough examinations and good referrals when necessary. So I applied in person to be reestablished as a patient in late Jan 2026. I was informed I would be placed on a waiting list and if any cancellations came up I would be called. After a month its already March and I hadn't heard anything so I decided to drop in and see what a future appointment could be. I was shocked when I heard June or July. The receptionist took down a list and said no appointments available. I felt like I wasn't even being followed up, just some scribble on a sheet of paper. I leave it to you to decide if you were in this situation, would you have looked elsewhere for another PCP? I should have. Live and learn!

Poor patient care experience with the office staff. I have not been involved with my dad's care as…read moremy sibling has been in the past but since my sibling's work schedule is different have been assisting our parents with making appointments, etc. I called the office seeking assistance and referral for a home based provider as it takes a lot of effort to get my dad out of the house since he's less mobile. I learned that they had disenrolled my dad as he missed appointments by mailing him 2 letters and per my mother they have not received. Besides that there should really be an effort in outreach to the patient/family when this occurs as the office staff did not mention specifically about this to me when I called except that he had missed appointments, but they don't care to learn the reason behind it. Our dad does not have a lot of medical issues but he is 92 and less mobile and cannot walk independently, mostly wheelchair bound. They gave me a number to a provider without a referral - did they not know this was required. I was under the assumption the referral was for a new PCP who provided some kind of home visits. When I called new MD they required a referral as it was palliative care and they don't provide primary care services. Called back Dr Chow's office staff to ask for a referral but they said they could not doing anything as he's disenrolled...then why even bother giving me the name of a new provider. Useless assistance. Anyway this has helped to get this off my chest. At least this situation has given me a solution as I needed to quickly think of what to do next since this office was no longer helpful in his care. FYI, I wish I could report your office regarding poor patient care experience but you're lucky outpatient settings are not surveyable by the state which shouldn't give you the pass to be so dismissive and not helpful.
