Palo Alto Medical Foundation

I have been going to the medical center for over five years. The overall office is very nice, practically new, and the office staff is very nice and organized.

It is close to our house where all of our doctors are located. The people take their time to answer your questions and not rush you, which is the most important thing.

I don’t see her very often. It was a very brief visit and fairly routine one. She took her time to listen to my history and did not rush me.

Excellent. We sought 3 additional opinions from Stanford following our initial visit and recommendation from Dr. Rush. With invasive surgery and specific complications of our son's condition, we wanted to make sure. Bottom line is his recommendation was correct/validated. Dr. Rush took the time to explain the procedure in detail to us and our son during pre-op, shared a technical paper he had written on the procedure, encouraged questions, and was patient with all our questions throughout the process. He delivered on his promise, was proactive with our son's care in the hospital, and followed up with post-op calls to ensure all was stable. He earned our trust and we appreciated his skill, expertise, and bedside manner.

We have seen her a few times. She is very proactive and in touch with the patients.

Dr. Carlson was very good. I went there because she was available and my regular doctor was out of the office. She is very effective and listened to the description to my problem and then helped me cure it. It was obvious that she was trying to give me her full attention and I believe that she would be great if you went to her all of the time.

I was very pleased with them. I would recommend them to other members. Their communication was good and their appointments were timely. Their punctuality was very good. I would use them in the future.

Dr. Wong was very good. She was very patient with me and explained everything clearly. She listened to me. She was knowledgeable and had lots of experience. Her office environment was excellent. It was very hard to get an appointment with her. However, she was punctual for her appointment.

He is a great doctor and makes things comfortable for his patients. He is great to talk to and a good person. I enjoy talking to him and he is a really good guy. It is important that a doctor connects with his patients on more human terms. He engages and has a good sense of humor.

I've been going here for a while. They are part of our network for health providers. There is nothing in particular that stands out.

She is attentive. She listens and is very patient. I will use her again in the future.

Getting an appointment with Dr. Tostado was easy. However, she had such a limp handshake and bedside manner. I asked for a referral to a dietician, to help me analyze and make changes to my diet. She couldn't see the value as I did not have a disease yet to manage (I am hoping to avoid one). She finally gave me the referral, but her pauses and skepticism were so evident I felt like an idiot for reaching out to her for help. I also know PAMF has a number of healthy weight-loss programs, but Dr. Tostado did not mention any additional resources were available. I literally had to pry each piece of information out of her. Eventually I just gave up. Honestly, the visit felt like I was talking to a wall. Dr. Tostado spent most of the visit completely silent, with me doing the talking. She volunteered a minimum of information and was not empathetic. I felt nervous and began questioning my reasons for making an appointment with her. I cannot recommend Dr. Tostado. Isn't the purpose of a doctor to help connect you to available resources, and propose solutions that you might not have thought of yourself? Sometimes it is just to help you see that you are overreacting. I took the same questions to my nurse practitioner, and she was extremely helpful in talking through solutions with me.

Fine. Referred from PCP to Gen Surgery Dept after which I tried to find out who on the staff had a very good reputation in anal surgery, since my PCP said that I had an anal fistula. Turns our I DIDN'T have a fistula - thank god! - so the treatment was fairly simple. My PCP miss-diagnosed for which I am disappointed. Fairly fine now, except that I have to take OTC stool softener for the rest of my life.

For fertility go to a specialist. Great on the pregnancy, surgery and other services. His nurse is amazing. Very caring.

It is an excellent clinic. They have great doctors and they have a nice facility. We have used them for dermatology and OB/ GYN as well. They are fine with scheduling appointments.

He is knowledgeable, thorough and very willing to take as much time as it is necessary for you to be comfortable with him and to be comfortable that all your questions are answered. For example, my initial appointment with him, after my cancer was found, was only intended to be a thirty minute appointment and I was there almost two hours. If you've got questions he will answer them. If you need an oncologist you can't get better in my view. He is very up to date and quite aggressive in his approach to the treatment. He takes the time with every patient which of course means people behind get in late. I would recommend him to anybody who needs such a specialty.

They try not to make me wait for a long time and if there is a long wait they are always aware of it. It is not like I disappear when I have to wait, because they are responsive to me. The clinic seems to be organized. There is a good clean environment in the clinic. Everyone is pretty professional. I will continue to go to them in the future. I think that they are A’s right across the board.

Dr. Brew is great. She really takes the time to explain what is going on. She is very good with children. She was very good for both the surgery and the office visits. She is very good about interacting with my children.

Just a routine check-up, my dedication was reviewed and one item was dropped.

Dr. Wong is great. She has a very plesant manner. I would still be going to both Dr. Wong and Dr Watson if my insurance covered them

If you want one of the best doctors for ob/gyn choose this one. He is the most kindest and caring individuals that we have come across. He takes all the time needed to explain and answer any questions. We were referred by him by the actual nurses in the labor and delivery unit. I work as a nurse and asked them who they use. Excellent doctor excellent choice.

I really liked Dr. Medina quite a bit. His nurse is very friendly. He is very thorough at performing all sorts of tests to make sure you and your baby are doing alright. He is friendly, knowledgeable and good at listening. He made the right call to give me an emergency C-section while I was in labor because we would have lost the baby otherwise.

Very well, she is very nice and knowledgeable. She is great but I don't think she is accepting new patients. I guess this is what happens when one is good, one is too popular so she really does not need this recommendation in Angie's list!

The people in the Camino medical group has been very responsive to my needs.

They are good & I have been going to them for the last 8 years. He is a really good neurologist. He is amazing. He understands me & gives me the medicine that is right for me. My primary care doctor there is very good as well & communicates with my neurologist about what kind of medication is best for me. She takes really good care of me. I will use them again in the future.
