Down to earth doctor that's easy to see and no month long wait for an appointment or bitchy…read moreassistants to deal with. Wouldn't trade him for the world. I have to add to my review with this very personal detail- I went off my meds for my bipolar disorder because of, well, stupidity. I hadn't bothered finding a new psychiatrist or therapist in the City, arrogantly thought that I could just manage without. Like finding good doctors, a good therapist and psychiatrist that you mesh with are equally hard to discover. I ended up in a very very bad state where I was suicidal and made an emergency appointment to see Dr. Oscherwitz. I was a mess. I started crying in the waiting room, was taken into the back to wait there and taken care of by the nurse and then Dr. Oscherwitz came in. I explained to him what I had done and what sort of state I was in. He started calling psychiatrists he knew and got me an appointment for the very next day, which was a Friday. He then waited for me to call my sister and make sure I was watched/taken care of until I made into the doctors office. It's hard to make any sort of rational decision in that state of mind and I deeply appreciate and am indebted to him helping me when I was in such a bad way. I've had crappy doctors. I've had distant ones who don't bother to know you.. though he may seem brisk and detached, he does care about his patients.. he's always been a kind man with me, even before this episode, and now I'm having a hell of time finding a decent replacement since I moved away.

He reminds me of one of those old-school drs. You'll be happy IF you can get through to his staff, talk to a live person, and get to talk to the doc. That's the only downside and why this practice gets 3 stars. His staff is not that great with responding to messages. If you're someone who needs good, prompt call backs and follow-ups or high tech ways of communication, go somewhere else where there's more easy access (that's why he's old school - you can't email, facebook, IM, etc.). Many times, I have to call and leave several messages to finally get through to him and often times, he never got the message. Other that that, no complaints to Dr. Oscherwitz.

I had an extremely disturbing experience here that I view as illegal, and I will also be reporting…read moreit to state authorities. It started when several prescriptions that were important, were NOT filled, and the front desk refused to take accountability, forcing me to book a new appointment and miss some extremely important medications. When I came in, Dr. Rosenthal profusely apologized for the incompetence of his front staff, and told me that he knows they can be "disorderly" and told me to call his personal cell phone in the future. On the way out, I asked to pay, and I was told that I would be billed "later." Some time later, I received a "final notice" for a bill for $30. When I called in to ask what the hell was going on, the front office told me that they had made the decision to "terminate me as a client" for non-payment. She was also extraordinarily rude and combative. I view this as not only unethical, but illegal. I will be filing a formal complaint to the Medical Board of California.

Dr. Rosenthal sets the standard for a medical professional. He not only knows his medicine, but has a bedside manner unmatched by any we've come across. He cared for my mom for many years before her passing. Everytime she was in the hospital, he ALWAYS showed up to check up on her. When she had difficulty traveling to the office, he made made house calls. He is very calming and a great listener. I wish other doctors and hospitals tried to be just a little bit like him. Professional. Punctual. Compassionate.

Mostly, I want a doctor who isn't snobby and treats me l as if I am stupid, who will give me the right treatment, will refer me to the right people. Someone I can be honest and direct with and I trust will give the same back. He has always responded immediately in emergencies, even late on New Years Eve and never bilks his patients and that's how he shows that he really cares.

I recommend Dr. Belk with some caution: If you like warm and fuzzy doctors, this is NOT the doctor…read moreto see. If you like doctors who are intelligent--even sharp--rather stoic, has your best in mind, yet isn't trying to win any personality contests, well Dr. Belk is the ONE. One star is for his intelligence and straightforwardness, which can be hard but he tells it like he sees it with no wide smiles only slight smurks.. Second star is because, unlike the routine at Alameda Family Physicians---and big reason why I like him--Dr. Belk is saving me hundreds of dollars by referring me to a cheaper pharmacy and filling my routine prescriptions for a longer period without unnecessary additional visits like Alameda Family Physicians required of me. Kudos to Dr. Belk on this one!. 3rd star is because he switched me to a better, more efficient medication than the practitioners at Alameda Family Physicians did--and again, for less cost to me (I am a cash pay) patient and I already feel better with this medication change than I have in 5 years! Thumbs up to Dr. Belk on this one! 4th star is because his brusk, dry, sarcastic humor along with the unhappy look that is practically glued to his face--still made me laugh although I don't prefer this style of comedy on a regular basis. Thanks for the efforts at comedy, Dr. Belk! 5th star I took away only because he isn't charming like James Bond. He has absolutely NO bedside manner, which I think is important for doctors to have--although I would prefer competence over charm in my doctor. After all, he is a doctor not a gigolo, right? I prefer a little warmth or a genuine, caring laugh and perhaps some reflective listening or at the very least some hint of compassion when I don't see eye to eye with him...attempting to humor me if he doesn't agree with me a little, would help greatly---but he won't do that. He sticks to his guns, like it or not---no niceties there. Summary: Doctor Belk has saved me money and gave me more effective medications than my last doctor did--so I consider him a very competent doctor. If he had a more delightful, compassionate charming personality----he'd be just about a perfect five star doctor, but because he's not trying to win any personality contests--he gets 4 stars. I recommend him if you have anti-social punk rocker / goth friends and ENJOY the ones who don't smile or hug the best.

I fail to see how a Dr living in Spain can be an effective personal doctor. They have associates, I'm sure. If you want to be taken care of by a consortium of Dr's, that your business. But I would prefer one person, one person to rely on and to compliment or complain about when things go wrong. You should not have to see your Dr thru a two dimensional tv screen. I thought I had a reliable San Francisco doctor. He turned out to be the money grubbing type that flew away from San Francisco at the first chance his patient's money would allow.

I've been a patient for many years. Unfortunately for me I'm back at Kaiser, which is better insurance but less good care. Someday I'll be back. In the meantime you should take my place. Why? You ask. Because Maura provides excellent care. She and the staff are smart and they aren't your typical "get through the day" employees. They all seem to enjoy their day and each other. Plus, what really makes them exceptional is their sense of humor. This is a nifty treat for those of us who savor this human behavior. It's hard to get it right. Too much and it is contrived and distracting. Too little and it's, well, humourless. Dr Moser's office gets it right.

When I arrived, I waited around 15 minutes, after which he led me to the exam room. Once inside, he told me to change and... disappeared. Not sure where he went, but I waited for over 30 minutes before he came back. When he came back, there was no apology and no explanation for why he was gone for so long. He went through the motions and then proceeded to give me a long lecture about some unsolicited life advice. That was another huge waste of time, and he just kept droning on and on and didn't give me a chance to tell him to stop. 2 stars because at least he didn't harvest my kidneys.
