They had me wait in the waiting room for 10 mins after checking in. After a quick check up they hooked me up and the whole process was very fast. Overall it took probably around an hour.

My first Adult/Pediatric CPR AED course was at this location back in January of 2014. I believe I…read morewas in the same course as the first reviewer where the instructor was over an hour late. The environment seems questionable and the fact that roughly 10 students were waiting outside for an hour seemed even more odd. A student finally received an email for the code to enter the building and everyone seated themselves in the classroom. At 10 AM another student received an email that the instructor will be there in less than 15 minutes. Class was scheduled to begin at 9 AM. The instructor finally arrived an hour late and began passing out handbooks and setting up the classroom. 5 minutes later a student got up and hollered at the instructor that he's untrustworthy given that he arrived an hour late and should've apologized right away instead of setting up the classroom. My second course was March 2016 to renew my certification. Thankfully Janice was on time and made sure everyone knew the course agenda. She scheduled a break that would suit everyone's schedule. Overall I wouldn't recommend this location if you are being dropped off by a friend or parent. There is nothing within a reasonable walking distance if is class dismissed early. There's a Sonic, Starbucks, and McDonald's within reasonable driving distance. Plenty of time given that break is half an hour.

I came here on a Saturday morning to complete the in-class portion of the CPR/AED course. When I…read morefirst got there, I was definitely unsure where to park. I had to do a couple of loops around the building in order to find the lot. It is small and off to the left hand side if you are facing the front. The building is a bit run down and not the most aesthetically pleasing to eye but they are there as a resource so that is better than not having them at all. After parking, I had to enter from the loading dock on the back side (heads up for those interested in taking the course). I was a bit skeptical about how successful the day would be but it actually turned out great, mainly due to our instructor. Ingrid Pocock was really welcoming and patient throughout the whole class. She definitely knows what she is doing and I would highly recommend her as an instructor. She took the time to make sure that all questions were answered and that everyone could properly practice the skills for certification. She is the reason why I reviewed this place a 3/5 stars. (-2 for the building and confusion with the entrance). If this review were solely based on her skills as an instructor, I would give it a 5/5.

Just wanted to come and write a review for a Mom's Place - the breastfeeding/newborn support group…read moreled by Jennifer, the lactation consultant. Jennifer is super kind, friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. When I had my newborn, I'd come to her weekly support group to get tips of latching, feeding, and all other baby related questions. You're able to do weighed feeds (weighing baby before and after breastfeeding) to see how much they took in. Jennifer also can help assess latch, and many moms book lactation consultant appointments with her to get 1:1 help. It was also really nice meeting new moms who had babies similar in age to mine. I was able to find my mom group through here, and now we meet up to do walks and park hangs. It's really nice that this group is offered to the community and I've found it extremely valuable for my mental health to be connected through this group. Thank you, Jennifer and PAMF for the mom's place group!

I am always having problems with Sutter Health. My dad has been with them for more than a decade…read moreand has had multiple issues diagnosed under their care. Why is it that his medical record has not been updated for more than a decade? Even in third world countries, the health care providers are the ones updating the patient records - no one expects the patients to maintain health records. I mean, sure if the patients transfers from another institution, but my dad has been with them for more than 10 years. This is ridiculous. I always have to add that the individual doctors are mostly fine, but the way they organize things is shameful for the Bay Area.

Walking in…read moreit felt like a DMV vibe, chairs, check in, lots of people waiting and you know it would take a long time despite an appointment. Surprisingly they saw us during our appointment time, they were super friendly, the place is clean and it was super organized. They have plenty of parking in the back, and the phlebotomist was super kind and she was super friendly, hence the 5 stars as it made the whole experience nice. We need kind people in the world , and she was kind, drew the blood as needed and provided good care. Overall good spot for quest!

For years of coming to Mowry in Fremont location every 4months for my mom's regular laboratory test…read more,our typical experience here has always been accommodating,fast and smooth process. Unfortunately with our recent visit with the employee named Lay it was totally vice versa. She took her ample time and had us wait and watched her calling the insurances company, re do the information that we have already in the system. And when I questioned her about it she told me that who ever helped us in our previous visits are not doing it the right way. Lay had her supervisor named Angie spoke and explained to us that they are just doing the protocol in making sure that they are going to get paid. I told them that my 86 year old mom fasted for the lab tests and she needs to eat right away to take her medications.I explained that it wasn't our first time there.There are no changes with regards to insurance coverages as well as her doctors order.Everything is the same so why should this appointment take so long. And their response was to just be more patient. So when Lay was done with the "protocol." She finally started to prepare my mom for the blood draw. As i was watching her having a hard time looking for the vein on my mom's right arm. She attempted to look for the vein on my mom's left arm where her bulged dialysis fistula was located. She tightened a rubber string on my mom's left arm. I interrupted and told her in a very concerning way that there was a fistula there and for what i know she's not supposed to use that arm. Lay replied with a very strong tone of her voice that she's aware of the fistula and that she's not going to touch it ,she just needs the vein above it. At this point i decided to get the supervisor's attention and informed her of what was happening..Angie confirmed that the left arm should not be use and she immediately assist us to moved to another room to be helped by another phlebotomist tech. As someone who has been going to this facility for years and experienced mostly consistent type of service. We never expect or anticipate this incident to happen. We hope that this review will encourage the center to have compassion,respect and acknowledge patient's concerns ,improve and prioritize patient care and most of all provide a complete,careful and detailed training to all their technicians.

I'm beyond thankful for Viji and her personalized, holistic approach throughout my pregnancy and…read morebirth. From the start, she took the time to understand my unique needs, offering tailored guidance on nutrition, stress management, and natural remedies to reduce inflammation and support healing. She has a deep understanding of how to complement the medical recommendations with natural remedies. She helped me understand why things were happening in my body and what options I had at each stage. She connected the dots between my medical history, daily habits, and birth experience in a way no one else had. I felt prepared for conversations with my care team instead of overwhelmed. She helped me adapt my plan when unexpected challenges came up, like getting covid :(. Her care didn't just help me feel physically strong and balanced during pregnancy--it also minimized risks for both me and my baby. Postpartum, her support continued to make a huge difference in my recovery. If you're looking for a doula who genuinely cares and provides thoughtful, individualized care, I cannot recommend Viji enough! I would also add that this felt less like standard doula care after interviewing several. This is more like having a personal guide through pregnancy, birth, and recovery with takeaways for well beyond the birth and for lifetime.

Viji is truly one of a kind. Every mother deserves someone like her by their side during their…read morebirth journey. After a traumatic first pregnancy and postpartum preeclampsia, I was considered high-risk during my second pregnancy as well. Around 32 weeks, I started seeing elevated blood pressure readings along with severe white coat syndrome. I was anxious and searching for support, and that's when I found Viji. Even before our first consultation, I had a strong feeling that she was God-sent -- a true blessing -- and that feeling only grew stronger with time. Viji stepped in with so much calm, confidence, and care. She took everything upon herself and made sure I was prepared in every possible way -- physically, mentally, and emotionally. She guided me through provider decisions, helped me find the right midwifery care, and thoughtfully connected me with an exceptional midwife, Lin Lee, who aligned perfectly with my needs. Because of Viji's discernment and support in building the right team around me, my entire experience was completely different from my first pregnancy. The birth itself felt smooth and empowering -- no tears, no episiotomy, and my blood pressure remained well controlled throughout. What truly sets Viji apart is how deeply she cares and how holistic her approach is. She took the time to understand my full medical history and personal background, worked to get to the root of my previous complications, and helped me navigate provider complexities with clarity and confidence. She also combined her Jyotish knowledge to help identify the most supportive and auspicious timing for my induction, which brought me an incredible sense of peace and trust going into labor. During labor, Viji was there through it all. She supported me with Ayurvedic care, calming massages, constant reassurance, and gentle guidance. She made sure I was comfortable, grounded, and never felt alone. She even stayed with me through the entire night -- watching over me, advocating for me, and helping me make important decisions when I was exhausted and vulnerable. Because of Viji, my second birth experience became healing, empowering, and beautiful. She didn't just help me prepare for birth -- she helped me heal from my past experience and trust my body again. I will always be grateful for her presence, her wisdom, and the love she brought into one of the most important moments of my life. I thank God every day for leading me to her at exactly the right time.
