Dr. Kaye reviewed the results of the ultrasound and performed an in-office biopsy, and explained ahead of time what to expect. He reviewed my options and answered all of my questions. I am happy with Dr. Kaye and would recommend him to others.

Dr. Massey is good! When I saw her, I indicated that I had seen another doctor a week or so before, whom I did not plan on seeing again. The former doctor performed blood tests and an ultrasound, but I could not get the results of either. Dr. Massey took the time to determine two urgent issues and referred me to the specialists right away. While I was still there, Dr. Massey's staff contacted the urgent care doctor's office to get the results of the ultrasound I had performed. I have since seen Dr. Massey for a physical exam and found her to be personable and thorough.
Description of Work: My insurance coverage changed Jan 1, and I had to find a new doctor. I had seen an urgent care doctor a week prior and decided not to return because the doctor and staff were unprofessional. Then a friend recommended a doctor at Palo Alto Medical Foundation who, unfortunately, was no longer accepting new patients. I found that PAMF had just opened a new Los Gatos office (closer to my home) where Dr. Massey is now located. I was able to get an appointment in a couple of days.

I have seen Dr. Sandor on two occasions this year for the same issue. He took time to listen, took x-rays of each of my hands and right wrist and determined that the cause of the pain was different for each. He explained that I might need surgery down the road, especially for the right hand & wrist, but performed an in-office procedure, which relieved pain in each situation. He explained the situation and answered all of my questions. He is knowledgeable and has a nice bedside manner.
Description of Work: Was referred to Dr. Sandor because of pain in both of my hands and in my right wrist.

Great! Glad he went to school to know how to solve this problem. I was concerned when my finger (thumb) started triggering and then became painful - couldn't take my wallet out of my pants pocket with my thumb. Doc went through cortisone shots and finally surgery to fix my left thumb. I was going to have surgery on my right thumb after two shots (the max they can give you without tendon damage). But the second shot was finally effective so canceled. Middle finger was never so painful but asked him to give it a shot. One shot seems to have fixed that ine. Great ortho doc! Highly recommend.
Description of Work: Several incidents of trigger finger on several fingers.

My thumb has arthritis and really not much can be done about it. The cortisone injection lasted as long as usual. Everything went well. She is a very nice person and considerate of your feelings and makes sure you are comfortable.
Description of Work: She gave me a cortisone injection for my thumb. She is very gentle and shows concern for her patients. I only saw her once but would definitely see her again.

He's fabulous! He is a really, really good surgeon. He operates shoulders and knees. He is in The Palo Alto Medical Group. This guy is really something. The reason why I found out about him was when I went to see my doctor with my biceps, she gave me a shot immediately and referred me to this doctor. He said, "He's the only surgeon I would allow to operate on my children." She was right! This guy was incredibly good! This guy is amazing! He's very personable, and he explains everything. He's so good! My doctor actually went down, and interrupted him to get an appointment with me. He's so busy and so booked in, but my doctor said that this can't wait because I had torn my biceps loose. He made an arrangement for me to get in to see him. I went there while it's bleeding under the skin pretty bad. He saw me, and set me up for surgery. About eight days after I got torn, I was in surgery. He made an allowance to get me in there which I greatly appreciate. And then, he put me to a very competent rehab people. It's a non-fun experience, but if you do something bad like this to yourself, having that kind of doctor helps a lot. This guy is fabulous!
Description of Work: Dr. Richard Gayle is my orthopedic surgeon. He operated my left shoulder and arm, because I tore my left biceps off the bone last year. And also, I tore the side part of my shoulder off the bone.

She's very professional but she's super duper smart and seems pretty smart. Her office is really loving her. The whole deal is so convenient because they have online services so you can check your appointment test results online. They have notification that they send to their patients through e-mail which a lot of doctors do these days but this is like Santa Cruz so the other big medical group here doesn't do that. You can get in the same building with your x-rays to your mammogram. They also have urgent care which like my other medical group prior didn't like stay up here sick after office hours you had no choice. So, this particular medical group without hurting the primary person you can go like say on Sunday you can go to their urgent care facility where there's a staff of good doctors and nurses too. The urgent care there is just excellent especially the staff and all the nurses are excellent. They did mistakes on their billing over there. They are always updating their system so it seems like so there's been a few mistakes but they always rectify it. They figure it out eventually like if you overpay with your copay or whatever they refund your money but it takes six months.
Description of Work: I saw Dr. Nicole Sudduth last January who is my primary care doctor for primary care service.

We have been using him for at least 10 years. My prior physician closed his practice. He is very practical and a minimalist. He is very concerned about my health, he is a good guy. He works for a foundation and works regular hours so availability is a B.

Dr. Todd Kaye is very friendly and speaks to you as if you are in intelligent person, but he his is also very clear if there is an issue that he needs to bring up with you. He explains things very plainly, and gets to the point. His staff is efficient, and the wait to see him is usually short. Very nice facilities, with all needed equipment, and very clean. Would definitely recommend.

Dr. Jain is very professional, approachable and friendly. He genuinely cares about your health, and talks with you in a straightforward manner, which I appreciate. His office staff is typical, and his nurses are nice. The wait between seeing the nurse and seeing the doctor is the shortest I've experienced, which I also really appreciate.

Dr. Su was amazing. He did not have me write out a lot of paperwork. Instead, he spent 30 minutes with me face to face, taking my medical history. How many doctors do that these days? He listened to my concerns, and immediately set me up for an appointment for an MRI (I have spinal issues) and an appointment to see a Physiatrist. He is available via e-mail at any time, and he or his staff always write me back within 1-2 days. My test results were posted online quickly, and were explained clearly. I could not ask for a better doctor, the first of many I have encountered through the Palo Alto Medical Foundation.
Description of Work: Having just moved to California, I set up an appointment with Dr. Su, to meet him and engage him as my main physician. I wanted to ask for referrals for a few health problems, and get a basic blood work-up/physical.

The doctor sent me to physical therapy for a couple of months and when this did not work well enough I had surgery. The surgery went well and I am almost fully recovered. I really like Dr. Diefendorf, he is very nice and explains thing very well. The only problem I have with the office is how long you have to wait. I have been there several times and always have to wait between 1/2 hour to an hour. His staff is very good and I would recommend his office to anyone in need of an orthopedist.
