Dr. Jennifer Fraenkel saved my husband's life! We asked for an urgent appt because he was having an…read moreextreme amount of belching that came on suddenly. Her office worked us in for an early morning appt. While in the waiting room, my husband had left side shoulder and neck pain--mild & fleeting--but he told the receptionist & she ushered us into a room. Dr. Frankel asked my husband a couple of questions and said that I should drive him across the street to the ER. She was very concerned he was having a heart attack. When we arrived at the ER, they were expecting us. She'd called to make certain we went & follow his care. He had had a mild heart attack and the hospital moved swiftly to care for him. Dr. Fraenkel called him when he was home to follow up, even though it was her day off. That is truly caring and concern. We highly recommend her.

This guy is a real piece of work. I was in the hospital for 3 months because he gave a wrong…read morediagnosis, and I almost died as a result, but that didn't stop him from congratulating himself on "saving my life". Followup "care" was a joke. I called at least half a dozen times in an attempt to make an appointment, only to either be sent straight to voicemail or deal with incompetent and rude staff at the call center who magically seemed to be able to swing a two-hour lunch, which may be cool except for the fact that this is California and not Spain - we don't get siestas here. If you have access to real medical specialists in San Francisco or any other larger metropolis, I urge you to go that route instead of resorting to this pompous, arrogant, condescending dickhead. And I don't say this lightly; I have since been to specialists in Portland Oregon who are all unanimously appalled at the way he mishandled my illness.

They called to…read morereschedule the appointment, but because they called the wrong number, we didn't find out until the Friday before (thank GOD he didn't start drinking the laxative!). Now they've screwed up the insurance billing and it's potentially costing us $3,000 for a procedure that should be covered 100% by our insurance. Not sure if we'll need to get a lawyer or what because they refuse to correct the billing, claiming it's a "very hard and complicated" thing to do. We will be looking into filing formal complaints through St. Joseph or any agency that will listen. And like others have said, good luck trying to talk to anyone on the phone. We literally had to call and leave messages every day for almost a week before someone finally called back. Go ANYWHERE ELSE.

Dr. Jayaraman (pronounced "Jay Ram") is a dark haired angel who wears a white that wears lab coat…read more She has intelligent eyes and a winning smile. What else? Well, she has taken care of me three times: one endoscopy and two colonoscopy treatments. Each of my treatments was painless and with no fear. Before the endoscopy, I had problems swallowing. After the treatment, I can once again wolf my food like a 17 year old! (Fortunately, I have slightly better sense than a 17 year old, so I take small bites and masticate thoroughly before the swallow.) The two colonoscopy treatments were 5 years apart. She cauterized a radiation burn from a previous cancer treatment that I had so the wound would stop bleeding. I didn't know that could be done! When she told me that she cauterized the wound, I felt like one does on those rare occasions when you enjoy a fine dinner and the waiter brings out a special dish saying, "Here, chef prepared this special for you." I thought nothing could be done about it. With each treatment, Dr. Jayaraman provides a travelogue with photos of the procedures suitable for showing your friends! A picture of the digestive system that we all studied in the 7th grade with little numbers at scenic locations inside the colon showing the attractions: "Stop off at #2 to see the radiation burn. Stop at #4 to see a polyp and #8 is the end of the line where the colon meets the small intestines. The same photo journey came with the endoscopy also, but for some reason, I did not find that as interesting as the colon. After the treatments, Dr. Jayaraman will come to give a debrief of the operation. Have someone you trust be there to listen to the debrief because the drugs will still be working their magic. I do remember after the endoscopy she was concerned if I had felt anything. I told her that I did feel something and her face changed to concern, for which I assured her that what it was I felt was that feeling you get after you swallow a bite of a potato. I was impressed that she is so driven that each operation has to be done perfectly. (Not at all like those British doctors who think they are veterinarians... and I suppose the comparison is disrespectful to veterinarians all over the world.) What are those treatments like? I smiled when I told my friend that I was going in for the colonoscopy last week. He said, "You know, I really enjoyed it last time I went!". I secretly enjoyed each treatment also. The preparation of the cleanse is not fun, but the "Big Day" of having the nurse give you dedicated attention asking questions, poking you and attaching monitors gives one a sense of the leading man in a stage play. Being wheeled into the operation room everyone is cheerful and all about business. I had hardly the time to reflect about the thrill of being naked in a darkened room with 3 lovely ladies, music and drugs when I woke up and it was all over. That's always the way it is. Like a pleasant dream. That's why I look forward to 2025 when I can return to visit my Sutter sirens and Dr. Jayaraman.

I have taken my kid to at least a dozen GI doctors and most were either inexperienced or dismissive. Dr. Jeiven figured out his problem on day one. She is thorough and gives a substantial amount of time to the patient. She asks the right kind of questions and makes recommendations quickly and her office gets the ball rolling--no wait and no anxiety. If you are worried about your kid's GI issues and have been frustrated with the unavailability of elite doctors at Sutter or Stanford and LPCH, don't wait-- get your kiddos to see Dr. Jeiven and you will be happy that you did that. I do not understand why the Bay Area has so many overworked and unavailable pediatric specialty doctors who do not care about the urgency of their patients' issues. Dr. Jeiven is not at all like that. While I am sure she's super busy too! But once you make an appointment, she gives her 100% attention to solve the problem. She has a wry sense of humor--keeps a straight face and says hilarious things. Great bedside manners are a plus.
