R. Karen (Kare Bear) Dr. Pfohl is an exceptional provider that provides the utmost care, attention and expertise to her clientele.

Robert Grant Great docs/nurses, easy to talk to. Anything on my mind I can bring up with my doc, and she usually has a suggestion for me. U can see I gave the Med Center 4 out of 5 stars. Check them out. They are great!

Song Gao We’re lucky to find this clinic! Dr. Yang has been extraordinary. She’s thorough, efficient, very patient, and amazingly responsive with our questions. It’s worth calling out that the communication has been super clear and informative. Dr. Yang is very good at explaining complex concepts in simple yet accurate language. I wish I were as good in communicating on my job. We’ve met other folks at the clinic too and they are all fantastic.

Natalie Zerr Wow! Totally blown away with our experience with Dr. Ambreen Syed! I cant remember EVER having such a positive experience at doctors office in my life, let alone my sons. She answered all the questions we had, we never felt rushed. Phenomenal doctor! Sooo glad we found her!

YouTubeTV Bonnie I switched all of my care over to Carbon after having a lot of trouble making an appointment with my regular primary doctor. I had been using Carbon’s urgent care over and over again and was always happy with the care. So I chose a primary doctor and had my first appointment. All good. I’m happy I switched. It’s so much easier. Two months later, I had my elderly mom see the same doctor for her primary care. Again we were both very happy. The doctor was kind and very thorough. Five stars!

kelsey stiles Best urgent care in San Mateo. I brought my 1 year old in this evening 30 min before closing and they were able to bet her in and out in 30 minutes - hardly a wait. Its clean and all the staff are very nice. Doctor and all Nurses very kinda and loving and helpful. Highly recommend

Annie Booker I have been seeing Dr. Chen for over 10 years for rehabilitation and pain management, I am 77 years old Dr. Chen is very dedicated, and passionate. During office visits he is very caring about addressing my concerns. His staff is excellent, very professional and supportive. His treatment has allowed me to have a better quality of life. Dr. Chen’s wellness program of injections,, acupuncture and physical therapy, has enabled me to return to college,, and after 3 years , I received my associate degrees. And transferred to San.Francisco State. I highly recommend Dr. Chen to anyone suffering with chronic pain.

Phoenix Wilkins I am so happy that I found Dr. Chen. I have been suffering with a back injury for months and was misdiagnosed. Dr. Chen gave me a proper diagnosis as well as immediate and excellent care. I am finally feeling better and able to get back to my job as a professional ballet dancer. I wish I had found San Mateo Spine Center sooner! I highly recommend this office to anyone dealing with an injury.

Andrea D. Staff is great! They are all really nice, Doctor is amazing, they work really fast and are very helpful. 100% would recommend. Excellent service! They made my family and I feel very comfortable at all times, didn’t rush me out or anything like that. Also if you are going for the medical examination for immigration they have the best price :)

Razvan Popa I had scheduled my immigration medical exam weeks in advance, only to arrive and be told that the doctor was not there and they couldnt see me. When I inquired why I wasn’t contacted with at least an alternative, they mentioned that I had not provided a local number for them to reach. The cost of sending an SMS to an international number like mine would have been negligible, and I would have gladly covered that cost myself. They also never requested my email address as an alternative contact method. Whats even more frustrating is that my partner had to take a half day off to drive me there, all for nothing. I later realized I dodged a bullet. They were going to charge me 570 US Dollars for the exam and two vaccines, a fee much lower at the clinic I ultimately chose.

Wanda Massaro Dr. Stevens is not only kind and compassionate he is a wealth of knowledge. I never once felt like I was being rushed he answered all of my questions and he never made me feel that my questions were ridiculous. Office staff were equally as kind.

Regina Estacio So upward health told me to make appointment to my rheumatology so I did they gave me a big ass attitude and they said they dont accept care advance medical thats bs!!!! Dr. Michael sorry but ur nurse gives bad reviews from me!!!

Adelle Garcia I saw a rheumatologist in Redwood City when I began experiencing severe health issues and couldn’t walk anymore. Mind you I was a pretty healthy 24 year old active female when I suddenly began to feel ill the past several months. I decided to have a multitude of labs done through various doctors and reviewed these labs with the Redwood City doctor. She hardly expressed any concern and told me that my positive tests could mean anything and that Lupus was just a “label”. I moved on from that doctor and found Bryan and my intital impression of him was that he felt deep sympathy for what I was going through. He explained to me my illness and told me I infact have SLE accompanied by Rheumatoid Arthritis and wanted to put together a treatment plan immediately. He explained all the ups and downs of everything I would experience and was very open to all of my questions regarding my health. I highly recommend this doctor for anyone experiencing health issues involving rheumatology. I am not even close to being better but I trust and believe he knows I will improve and get this into remission.

Asra Nadeem I had appointment with Dr. Gescuk today. The appointment booking, checkin, pre-checkup and the appointment itself were all amazing. He took his time to go through my symptoms and did not rush me at all. He even googled images to explain the problem better to me. I had to get an injection, which was pretty painless and non-traumatic (I hate needles).

Kristin H Dr. Carlson saved my dog’s life. Lenity saw us through an incredibly stressful week last week. Our 4 year old standard poodle, Luna, became very ill inexplicably. Luna stopped eating, became lethargic, and ran a fever. The team led us from diagnosis to emergency surgery for a liver abscess, as well as (two!) complementary staple repair procedures when she got through her collar. Dr. Carlson is a fantastic surgeon and owns the practice - it’s not corporate owned like many other places. She gave us a tour of the facility- they have everything there. I will not comment on the price, except to say that now we know the importance of having pet insurance without a cap. Overall, Luna is alive and we are lucky. I trust the team and am grateful for our time there. Apart from the animal care, they are good with people too. I was an emotional wreck all week and they rolled with me and my anxiety like pros. Shout out to Autumn and Brian who were particularly supportive. Thank you!!!

Rose Kilgore We brought our male cat, Finn, to Lenity when he was on the verge of a urinary blockage—a potentially fatal condition. Having previously lost a cat to the same illness, the experience was incredibly distressing. Thankfully, this time we caught the issue early and were able to save Finn’s life. While it took around 11 hours over the course of two visits to fully address his condition, we recognize that emergency clinics operate on a triage basis, prioritizing the most critical cases. That said, if your pet isn’t in a life-threatening situation or in need of 24/7 care, you may be better off waiting to see your primary veterinarian. The cost was significant and quickly exceeded our pet insurance’s annual coverage, but we acknowledge that without immediate treatment, we might have faced another heartbreaking loss. If youre a pet owner, I can’t emphasize enough the importance of pet insurance—it made a huge difference for us. (We use ASPCA and highly recommend having coverage in place!)

L M If you are looking for a proactive and detail-oriented doctor able to communicate effectively, educate you and make informed decisions in partnership, you may want to look further. In my experience, her communication was unreliable. I chose her because I value consistency in care and wanted her to assist in my birth. Unfortunately, on my 7th month she told me that she may not be available around my duedate. That was a big disappointment that put me in a very difficult situation. After inquiring 3 times, she was unable to tell me specific dates or backup doctors I could meet. When I ask for options, she said she could induce me if the baby did not arrive before her vacation. I realized at that point that we had very different approaches and I would not feel comfortable having her deliver my baby. Overall, she seems to check boxes rather than caring for patients.

chan hidy Dr Beddow saved my life !! Went to see her because the perimenopause symptoms in early 50. Based on her professional knowledge and skills , she insisted me to have formal ultrasound instead of the one in clinic . Called me on the same day of the ultrasound and referred me at once because ovarian tumor. Prepared all blood test and further CT so I would have completed picture to the surgeon. The operation was done in 2 days after the first visit of surgeon. Here I could highly advise every perimenopause women to see a doctor ,like Dr Beddow , to rule out any other medical problems that you never ever think of. Btw The other name of ovarian cancer is called a‘silent killers’

Miranda Marquez I had an outstanding experience at this clinic and can confidently give it a five-star review! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Dr. Dave performed my allergy testing and was incredibly thorough, taking the time to explain everything in detail. He was the first doctor to accurately diagnose my condition, and I truly appreciated his expertise and caring approach. The whole process was quick, efficient, and comfortable.

Leanna I have been seeing Dr Howard and Dr Dave for over 10 years, even before the clinic began. Watching this practice grow and expand has been a pleasure. I can’t say enough about the positive overall care both my husband and I have experienced.here. The office staff is 5 stars too! Thank you ladies!!

P G This review is for Dr. Luehman only. We actually saw her at a different location but before I could remember to write a review, it seems that she has left that location to focus on being at North Peninsula. We met with Dr. Luehman at 1am on a Friday night, with a cat that was in acute Kidney Failure. We had seen two other veterinary places earlier that night, one being our regular vet and the other being another emergency service. Despite running bloodwork twice, doing multiple X-rays, ultrasounds, etc, from both places, neither could provide us an answer and suggested we keep her overnight until they had a specialist come through. With no answers in hand, Dr. Luehman looked through all the documents and gave our cat a quick examination, and pinpointed the problem within the hour. She explained everything in detail, gave us treatment options, and worked with our budget since we depleted a ton of funds trying to just figure it out with the other vets. Now that cat is happy, playful, and most importantly, alive with regular kidney function and no signs of any issues at all. We were very lucky to have met Dr. Luehman that night. I will forever be grateful for her kindness, for the care she gave her sweet girl, and for her compassion for our situation and our frantic emotions that night. She is a true gem in the field.

Kevin H Cant speak to their service, but a member of their staff treated me terribly today. I was struggling to find parking to get to an appointment where my cat needed to be put down in the pet emergency clinic next door. I parked in what I thought was an unlabeled spot out front and, as I stepped out, was immediately told I needed to leave because those parking spots were only for their customers. I tried to explain the situation and they just told me it didnt matter and I needed to leave. I guess their parking spots are just for them, and Im sure I was a bit frazzled given my cat did in fact need to be put to sleep about half an hour later. It wasnt "wrong" to make me go find parking elsewhere. But the lack of compassion really stuck with me. Maybe I came off rude, I dont know, but I asked for help and was met with nothing but contempt. I cant say this staff member seemed to have any heart for someone dealing with the loss of a loved animal, and I would caution anyone else considering them if this is how they treat people dealing with an emergency.

Kenneth Hollenkamp I started out having lunch one day where a girl in uniform was drinking mimosas. She was really nice at first and she said she was an x-ray tech here, and she had a country accent and was from Kentucky. Nonetheless, I ended up running into her later that night , where she had just left work still in uniform and was even more intoxicated. I find it highly unprofessional for workers and the medical field of all fields, to go into work intoxicated. Something should be done about this.

rajvinder gill Worst public health. Couldnt get simple chickenpox vac for kid from last 10 days.

Shiyi Zhao Update: 2024-04-03. We’ve continue coming to the clinic for the past 6 months. I can tell they’ve been trying to improve. For example, they will call me before each appointment for reminder. Horrible scheduling. Kept changing our appointments without notifying us! They did apologize. However, the time spent back and forth on the road and waiting are completely wasted. They don’t seem to care for the patients.

Ghassan Auf Worst front disk ppl, they have no clues about manners or ethics , such a shame , rude and ignorant They don’t follow the HIPPA ( no patient privacy) should be fired all If you don’t speak Spanish.., you are doomed

Sherri Paxton I would have left this group years ago if not for Dr. James Ferrara. I have to call multiple times to get a prescription filled or school forms completed. I am left on hold for 10 minutes at a time. The customer service is so poor. When I let someone know, they say sorry we are just busy. Really? So being less busy might actually allow you to do your job or even allow you to be considerate of others?

Alma Cuevas Been my pediatrics provider for almost 20 years, the Doctors and personal staff always willing to help and doing the best to provide the best service in the bay area.

Fernando Arrellin a mother of 3 children with a very low income visited the 39th street location today for christmas toys for the little girls and this guy at the desk did not want to help. but have a verry happy christmas you all. the was a previus time in which she need some help to pay rent and nobody wanted to help her. i dont understad in which part of god words is to be cruel and evil on this hollydays.

Bira Cosme Those guys are Awesome! God bless you all.

TheBayArea831 I had a great experience as a patient and as a guest. Staff is amazing, super nice and caring. They work very hard at making the patient feel safe and comfortable. There is a large parking garage, with elevators. Charging stations for vehicles. There is a cafeteria with good food available. Peets coffee available too. Large dining area, with a outdoor patio with nice views of the airplanes coming and going. Waiting area does have outlets to plug in chargers etc. The hospital rooms are a good size, their is a sofa/bed a guest can sleep on. I suggest bringing extra pillows and blankets. The hospital bed and couch is very hard and caused us back pain. We brought a heating pad that heloed with the back discomfort. The rooms have their own temp control. Lowest temp is at 55 degrees if you enjoy it on the cooler side. Good size tv available with cable tv. There is Wifi available. Guests who stay overnight have the option of ordering room service for a $10fee. Or you can buy individually at the cafeteria. Open 7a-7pm.

Matt Veronda Scheduled for a PCP and was told to make an appointment. After a 10 minute conversation about establishing care, I was charged $600 for a “level 4 service”. There is an arbitrary and hidden fee level that they will use to try to gouge you for any money they can. I contacted customer service and was told that I might be upset because I was looking for something more “tangible” from my visit. Do not go to this hospital.
