She responds quickly, listens carefully, and asks thoughtful questions. With each visit, we feel increasingly known and well supported. She has excellent bedside manner and a calm, unpretentious presence. We highly recommend her. Elena & Steven

We recently tried One Medical via Amazon…read more This service was advertised as a $49.99 virtual healthcare visit.  Upon learning that we were not physically in the US (we were in France at the time) the doctor said that he is not able to consult. Following my short explanation of the issue, he reiterated that he could not help and I should be seen in person at an urgent care type facility.  This entire call lasted less than 5 minutes.   Imagine the surprise when, a couple of weeks later, I received a bill for $230 with reason as "New Patient Office Visit: Complex".   I reached out to One Medical saying that (1) this was not an office visit (2) it certainly wasn't complex and (3) the rate for a video consult is $49.99. All I received in response was a convoluted boilerplate saying that somewhere/somehow I had picked a different path than Amazon's advertised $49.99 service, resulting in much higher billing for the same service. This response totally ignored the fact that it was not "an office visit" and there is nothing "complex" if the physician is unable to consult.    My subsequent email reiterating that this was not an office visit, that the virtual meeting lasted less than 5 mins, was by no means complex and the only outcome was the suggestion to go to an urgent care facility went unanswered. Yet the bills just keep coming. To me, this is a clear case of bait and switch wrapped around overbilling with incorrect service description. Needless to say, I have no plans to pay this outrageous and improper bill. Moreover, if One Medical do not address their disengenous practice of claiming a brief and utterly useless chat with someone who was not able to offer any medical opinion or input as a "complex visit", I plan to broadly expose this practice on social media, and report it to compliance, health authorities, consumer protection as well as to Amazon executives as they should re-evaluate their relationship with such a shady operation.

My work insurance changed and I've recently switched to Kaiser. My experience so far with Kaiser…read morehas made me realize how poorly I was served by Stanford Family Practice. First thing you need to know--it will take months--yes, literally months--to get an appointment. When I reacted in disbelief, I was told unapologetically "Stanford in a teaching facility our doctors are only in a couple of days a week". Seeing patients is not the priority of this center. Second thing to know--you will get mysteriously charged additional copays months after your appointment. It turns out that the doctors do not charge copay by appointment, but by "topic". When I questioned the additional copay, I was told I must have asked the doctor a question unrelated to what my appointment was schedule for so each additional question can be charged a separate copay. Are you kidding me? Finally, and most importantly, again Standford is a teaching hospital--if you require surgery, or treatment, I highly advise that you ask that the interns/students do not work on you. I did not, and I physically paid dearly for it!!

First, I want to correct something another reviewer said. He said it takes months to get an…read moreappointment. In the fifteen years I've been going there, I've almost always gotten an appointment within a week. Even better is that they recently started offering same-day appointments. You only have to make an appointment if there's one specific doctor you Just call first thing in the morning and you'll likely get in that day. Both Dr. Richard Lee (who sadly is no longer there) and now Dr. Crump have given me first-class treatment. I've always been treated well there. When was very open to alternative therapy for getting my blood pressure down. Thanks to his guidance and openness, I'm now off my hypertension medication completely! But the appointment that stood out most for me was when I fell and was in insane amounts of ankle pain. Dr. Crump examined it and said that it was at worst a hairline fracture. I asked if he should x-ray it. His response put a smile on my face. He said, "We could do an x-ray, but the treatment would be the same." In today's broken fee-for-service medical industry, it was refreshing to have a doctor who wasn't suggesting unnecessary procedures to get paid more by insurance companies. In short, I've always gotten first-class treatment from Stanford Family Practice and will be going there as long as possible.

I booked a phone consultation with this doctor earlier this year so that I could get his opinion on…read moresome lab results and my current plan of care. In very unfortunate timing, I experienced a medical emergency and was being rushed to the ER during the time of the phone visit in a tremendous amount of pain. I told him the situation and his response was, "I spent a lot of time and effort reviewing your labs, don't you want to hear what I have to say?" He only got worse from there. I basically put him on speaker and let him talk into the void while I waited for him to shut up so I could end the call, and for the car to arrive at the hospital. I ended up having emergency surgery shortly after being admitted to the hospital. It's not about the money for a wasted appointment; it's about him being deplorable. Listen to the other reviewers who mention that this guy is rude and combative.

When she was first admitted to the ER back in February and she expressed to him she didn't want to do dialysis anymore he said "well I don't believe in suicide". Super professional and compassionate when I asked him about her being assessed for hospice care and continuing dialysis he said no that can't be done even though I've been told by her home health care company she can. He then said to me he doesn't have time to be on the phone with me to answer my "basic" questions. Which I then told him that these questions we have are not basic to us since this is a new situation and very stressful situation we are now dealing with. I was upset and expressed my frustration with how we have just been bounced around from hospital to doctor with no answers no guidance and no help with getting her the care she needs. Please see my photo. A text from my brother who spoke with Phillip Ng yesterday at my mom's dialysis appointment where she is still exhibiting signs and behaviors of mental decline and suffering. When my brother explained we want to have her assessed for hospice care with dialysis continued those were his responses. " he doesn't want to waste the government's money" do not go to this poor excuse of a human for your or your loved ones health care needs. Complaints are being filed.
