It took them 13 business days (M-F) - otherwise known as 2.5 WEEKS to respond back to me. And I had sent TWO follow up messages after my initial message because of how long it was taking for them to respond. The portal message center says allow UP to 5 days for a response. Fine, I did! But almost 3 weeks for ONE response!?? Freaking ridiculous. The person who I've been messaging is "MA Tierra A". Awful. Slow. And selectively picks what to respond to so you have to ask again for the other answers and it takes weeks and weeks to hear back. I'm in the process of finding a new doctor. This whole situation has put a bad taste in my mouth. They were so so to start off with, but their communication is god awful and slow as all heck.

I recently started seeing her at the beginning of 2020. I like her bedside manner. I've had some doctors baby me and I've had some talk down to me like I don't know anything. Dr. Weston does neither. She speaks to you like an equal. She takes the time to answer any questions you have in depth and I don't feel rushed when I asked extra questions or ask for more information about something. I always leave my appointments with her feeling very informed (and with notes!). I never feel confused about the status of my health. She's a good doctor and I recommend her.

I live on the same street as Thrive and was thrilled to see a clinic built in very close proximity…read more I've seen 4 providers here but have had the best experiences with the following: Dr. Brad Venghaus- I believe he's the founder of this clinic. He's extremely kind, patient, and overall an excellent doctor. I enjoy having him as my PCP. I just wish I didn't have to schedule so far out for an appointment. It's a blessing and a curse, because he's so popular! Mariana Racovita- I recently had an acute visit with Mariana and she was wonderful. Kind, courteous and more importantly thorough. I'd love to continue seeing her as well. The other staff (medical assistants and front desk) have been good for the most part. I've had some off experiences but are willing to look past due to the overall quality care received from Thrive. Shout out to the lab techs though, because they are always wonderful! Thank you!

I recently wrote a review for my new AWESOME dentist and it had me thinking about my AWESOME…read moredoctor, Dr. Sorensen. I'm surprised there aren't any reviews of her yet - she runs a small practice but she's a big deal. My first appointment with her was last fall. I was overdue for my annual and, like any normal human being, wasn't looking forward to it. A good friend recommended her with a glowing review. My intention was to call the office, just to ask if she was accepting new patients (she only accepts 600-800 so I figured my chances of getting in were slim). Much to my surprise, Dr. Sorensen was the one to answer the phone! That impressed me enough that I scheduled an appointment for the next week. My first impression of Dr. Sorensen was excellent, and things only got better from there. She literally does everything - she is a one-woman staff, which means she does everything from checking your vitals to dealing with insurance. This approach means that you get to spend more time with her, which means that you feel like anything but just another patient. She also takes a conservative approach to medicine, so when I told her about my occasional anxiety, she recommended things like yoga instead of jumping to more invasive/expensive treatments. Best part of my experience with her? I ended up having a bit of follow-up work the next day, and was obviously concerned about the results. She got back to me the next morning to let me know all was OK and thoroughly explain everything. And the day after that, I got my pap results back. That's right...TWO DAYS after my appointment I got my pap results! I'm used to waiting a minimum of two weeks. She called as soon as she got the results because she didn't want me to worry longer than I needed to...wow. If you are looking for a doctor who uses modern technology (online scheduling, mostly paperless, etc.) but won't provide you with the typical, cold doctor's experience, I strongly recommend Dr. Sorensen.

I visited this practice for the first time after recently switching from a larger practice. I was…read morevery impressed Dr Sorenson's professionalism. My initial visit was very through and the Dr took as much time as was needed to understand my medical history, make suggestions, ask questions and actually sit down and have a conversation! That is impressive in todays world. Her practice is purposefully small, self-managed and her interest in medicine and people is clearly visible in how she runs her business and treats her patients. I nearly fell out of my chair when I called to schedule an appointment and Dr Sorensen answered the phone herself. Unheard of! She also makes herself available on nights and weekends to answer calls or come to the office in case urgent issues arise. I believe she truly cares about her patients and wants to manage her practice with the best technology and information available to her. She leverages technology to allow her to have the time to treat the patients, rather than using technology as a crutch to fit more patients into her day. I was thoroughly impressed with Dr. Sorensen, her sense of professionalism was first rate and she has a compassionate manner that is ideal for families looking for a Family Practice. If all small businesses could be run in the same manner Dr Sorensen is running her business, we would have a true sense of what community really means.

Ditto to this: "Dr John is great however his staff and the witch who works reception are terribly…read morerude and unhelpful." I had been seeing Dr. John for decades and very pleased overall. I rated his service as 'above and beyond' and would've scored him at 10. However, over the last couple of years, I've noticed a declining trend in quality of healthcare and front office professionalism; wherein, the nurse practitioner held the notion that Diabetes was curable. Since my A1C was in check, she would no longer prescribe the medication that had been keeping it in check. It was not a pleasant experience getting this escalated to Dr. John's attention. When finally that occurred, Dr. John immediately requested a refill for the prescription med, yet made no mention of the NP's error - or that she would be re-trained. Over the years, his office staff deteriorated, particularly his wife - who clearly rules the roost with autocratic rudeness. While I'm grateful for the decades of great medical care I received from Dr. John, I'm happy to see him retire - and hopefully his wife as well, such that patients can receive the awesome care once delivered by Dr. Paul John, MD.

No matter how many times I had health insurance changes, I always made sure I would be able to see Dr. Kravitz. I've had other doctors in other cities, but no one came close to Dr. Kravitz's knowledge (26+ years of practice), professional demeanor, and personability. He is knowledgeable on so many topics, and I know I'm able to ask him anything. And you know what? He listens. It's that simple. He sets your chart down, he looks at you, and he listens. Some doctors are just so harried they don't take the time to really let you explain what's happening or how you feel. It really does make the difference. We forget how important it is for a doctor to relate to his patients. I've seen doctors who have been cold, indifferent, uninterested in anything except performing an examination or treating whatever was wrong at the time. Sure, that's fine, but it's the bare minimum; it doesn't set me at ease. When I'm sick, and I'm concerned, Dr. Kravitz demonstrates a level of empathy I've yet to see in another doctor. It also helps he has a sense of humor! Even if he does not accept my insurance, I would only want to have him as my primary care physician. He's known me for years, and knows my medical history better than anyone. I hope to stick with him as long as I can. If you are looking for a new doctor in the area, you will NOT be disappointed. Dr. Kravitz is the real deal, and one of the few people I still trust in the healthcare field. A real winner!

This is the second review I've left for One Medical, and I normally wouldn't go out of my way to do…read morethat -- but I felt the need to elaborate further because of how unpleasant and unfortunate this experience was. This was one of the most disheartening and discouraging healthcare experiences I've ever had -- and what makes it worse is that it was my first time seeking help for my mental health in over 15 years. I grew up in an environment where asking for help -- especially when it came to medication for mental health -- was seen as a weakness. So it took everything in me to finally overcome that and make an appointment. After a particularly overwhelming six months, I built up the courage to be honest about what I was struggling with and what had worked for me in the past. I wasn't demanding anything -- I was simply trying to communicate openly, hoping for a supportive and respectful conversation about my care. Instead, I was met with judgment and ultimately rejection by Harley Berning. She initially prescribed me a lower dose of the medication I mentioned -- no concerns or hesitation. But after I followed up with a message asking if this was the right plan going forward, everything changed. My prescription was suddenly revoked after it had already been sent in and paid for, and I was told she could no longer continue my care. It felt like I was being punished for being honest. I was mischaracterized, dismissed, and made to feel like I had done something wrong just for asking questions and advocating for myself. That kind of distrust -- especially when someone is finally trying to seek help after years of struggling -- is incredibly damaging. This experience didn't just shake my trust in one provider. It made me question whether I should have ever reached out in the first place. And I imagine I'm not the only one who's walked away from One Medical feeling like this. If you're someone who's anxious, vulnerable, or trying to overcome the stigma of getting mental health care -- be careful. I wanted this to be a step toward healing, and instead it left me feeling worse than when I started.

I probably interviewed 7 different pediatric groups when I was pregnant and loved the group and doctor I chose at the time (2005). That doctor has now retired. However, Dr. Gajjar is just down the street from Austin Area OBGYN and Dr. Cowan (my OBGYN)--also much trusted. The St. Davids Womens Clinic, where my OBGYN group has deliveries is also down the street. Dr. Gajjar is thorough, compassionate, and truly cares about her patients. Having worked with pediatricians going on 17 years now and being a working mom, I recommend Dr. Gajjar without hesitation. She guided us through the pandemic, middle school sports issues and awkward puberty moments. She genuinely connected with both of my teens (3 years apart and 1 a boy and 1 a girl). I am thankful to all those who have been by our side, but would have been thrilled to work with Dr. Gajjar when my children were infants, as well as now, when they are coming into their own. Her staff is friendly, approachable, and compassionate--something I have learned is invaluable over the years. We are so thankful to have Dr. Gajjar in our lives and looking after the healthcare of our beloved children. We are native Texans and have been in Austin for over 22 years. Dr. Gajjar is an asset to the children and parents of the Austin community.

I was a patient of Dr. Browne's for several years, until Capital OBYGN & Associates was sold to…read moreanother company, and then another company, now under the latest name "Lone Star Circle of Care." My care with Dr. Browne was consistent and I enjoyed her openness to my personal needs, but the last time I was there for my annual exam, I was left for nearly an hour in a cold room with nothing but my mask and a tiny robe on. For anyone out there who has to get pap smears, you know the task is already a daunting and stressful one. I had to open the door to the hallway and ask a nurse if I had been forgotten about. When it was clear that I had, they rushed in offering no apology. I'm now in a situation where I have found a new provider through a Direct Primary Care format, and need my medical records. After contacting the office, I was told my records were sent to a third party and that I'd need to contact them. They didn't even have the phone number or any information to give me about said third party to access my own medical records. So now I have to be my own advocate and search the big wide web for my very private and personal information. Listen, I know our medical system is broken. I do not fault the nurses and doctors of this practice knowing and understanding that. Do not be fooled - hospitals are big businesses that function like corporations these days and just want to make a profit. They do not care about your personal well-being. SO IF YOU WANT ACTUAL CARE, if you want a system that is functional and supportive, do not go to Lone Star Circle of Care or whatever they choose to call themselves in the near future. You deserve better!!!
