Ingrid Larsson, M.D. Internist…read moreKnickerbocker PLACE DETAILS Photo of Carol Araki Carol Araki a day ago Dr. Larsson has been my primary care provider for several years. Not only is she a very knowledgeable and accomplished physician, she exhibits care and concern for her patients and spends quality time with them, treats the whole person and listens and allows free communication and encourages questions and sharing of health issues openly and without judgment. She clearly has the trust, respect and confidence of her patients, her staff, co workers and specialty medical providers. She uses their collaboration, strengths and expertise to enhance the care she provides to all her patients. I remember the 5 As of a good healthcare provider: ability, affordability, affability, availability and accountability. Dr. Larsson is all 5 plus more. I share with you these goals we should all strive for. Dr. Larsson certainly is an example of how I view her and her chosen career in medicine: "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can."

By the time I arrived, I'd figured out the problem based on phone comments by an on-call doctor, and Dr. Tucker-Harris quickly confirmed the diagnosis.

Dr. Merupula has been my PCP for several years…read more What I respect most about Dr. Merupula is that she respects medical choice and bodily autonomy, and respects your role as the primary decision-maker in your own care. This should be a given with any provider you go to, but too often medical paternalism still rules the day, where you are treated like a child who is to be told what to do with your own body. That attitude doesn't fly with me, and thankfully Dr. Merupula does not have this mentality. She has accommodated my requests for additional testing I want for my own information, which some previous providers have inexplicably vetoed, as if the cost is coming out of their own pockets, or as if I'm not sophisticated enough to understand the results. She also respects my decisions to say "no thank you" to certain one-size-fits-all 'standard of care' protocols that are not right for me, without argument or pushback. She is easy to talk with, and is a good listener. I absolutely recommend her if you're looking for a physician that respects your fundamental right to be in charge of your own health care.

Dr. Merupula is very thorough, patient and kind. She does not rush through your appointment and…read moreshows genuine care for you!

Dr Leslie Tim has been my primary care physician for nearly 20 years…read more I have consistently found her to be respectful, thorough, knowledgable, and caring. Each time I met with her for a more serious problem, she would call later that day or the next to check on me. She is very responsive to email inquiries via MyHealth. Her office has improved their operations significantly over the past two years. I have waited no more than 10 minutes in the waiting area recently. And then no more than 10 in the private office. I am a picky consumer and recommend her highly.

Yes, the current rules have her dashing around so she has to be very direct and doesn't have much time to chat, but that isn't her fault. It is the fault of our system.

I have been a patient of Dr. Jones for many many years (I've lost count) and recommended him to my…read morefamily, so he takes care of both my husband and me. I am a physician myself so I have an extra edge in judging clinical competence and trustworthiness. You can judge a physician by 3 parameters: 1st: does he or she have a conflict of interest that compromises putting your needs first? 2nd: is the doctor clinically competent -- does he or she know what they are doing and know when to refer to someone else when they are unsure? (This includes the ability to communicate and explain what is going on); and 3rd: do I feel like the doctor really cares about me - are they humanistic in their approach or bedside manner? Dr. Jones passes all three. He ranks among the top physicians I've encountered for my personal medical concerns.

Dr. Jones has been my doctor since my pediatrician kicked me out. He's ALWAYS on time (read…read moreearly), his staff is friendly, and he's a quality doctor. I've had some weird medical ailments (some real, some only in my mind) and he's sorted through my own personal brand of crazy and fixed me up with minimal stress (and condescension!). I sent my fiance to Dr. Jones (by twisting his arm, because he's never accepting new patients) and fiance, who doesn't really care for people gets on well with Dr Jones.

I went to Dr. Tufft in his Walnut Creek office for an incision (post surgery) that wouldn't heal…read more My prior doctor tried to cauterize it multiple times and that didn't work. Then another doctor told me it was an infection and put me on antibiotics. That didn't work. Then I was referred to Dr. Tufft. He literally was the ONLY person that could help me. After 7 months of dead ends, he took one look at me and said "I think you are allergic to your dissolvable stitches," and guess what? He was right. That was the very FIRST appointment with him. He put me on a pain free regiment of lotions and potions and in just over 2 months, I was completely healed. Today was my final appointment with him. I almost started crying when he said "No charge for today's appointment. You are totally healed." I gave him a hug and promised that I would spread the word about him. If you are in the same situation (or close to it), give him a call. He and his sister Pam are literal life savers. Thank you, Dr. Tufft.

The man who saved my life in my hands. I hesitated for several weeks before calling as I was afraid of yet again being looked at like I was a nut case. After nearly 20 physicians in various fields left me to die, this genius figured out exactly what I had. It was so rare & out there my HMO didn't believe him. UCSF & Stanford docs weren't there for me either. But we proved all of them wrong with a biopsy and such. He went up to bat against them more than once for me & many attacked him in the process. Dr. Tufft has created enough good Karma to last several hundred lives. If there was to be ever a hero in my life Dr. Tufft & a colleague he referred me to fit the bill.

I bring my boys here for their sports physicals and I think Dr. Konstantin is great…read more On a side note I came to this Yelp page to see what his rating was and human curiosity compelled me to read the bad reviews. I am happy to see that Dr. Konstantin is refusing to give random people narcotics. I worked in a 1000 Rx a day pharmacy and these people are doctor shoppers whose regular doctors won't give them narcotics so they seek out other doctors and then get disappointed and aggravated when they don't get their drugs. This makes me want to give Dr. K more stars! You don't go to a doctor to get drugs. You go to a doctor to get treated to feel better. It doesn't always require drugs, and you should be glad if you don't need them.

He has a good reputation which is evident by the traffic coming in and out the door. I recommend him to folks who need fast, fair-priced services.
