The Best 21 highly rated medical facilities near San Francisco, CA

Karen Mason Always a 5 star experience going to appointment with Dr. Jacob Johnson. He knows his medical stuff, is up on the latest, is engaging with patients and is thoughtful in answering my questions (no matter how crazy). And his staff holds up the same bar of quality, engagement and caring. I feel like I know all of them, and am in really good hands. We just need more Doctors like Dr. Johnson coming through medical school, but there are too few schools and we need to prioritize access to such education. Thanks for asking -Karen

Sarah Weinberg Dr. Johnson has been my family’s trusted practitioner for multiple generations. He treats my father, my children and myself with skill, respect, creativity and compassion. Dr. Johnson is a phenomenal doctor and a wonderful human.

Jane Doe I have been treated by Dr Johnson for almost 20 years. I’m very much impressed by his expertise and professionalism on my complicated ear problems. Even though I live in San Mateo county very far from his San Francisco office, I still insist on seeing him no matter what. For me he is number ONE no replacement. Highly recommend him for those people who hope to solve the problems right on the spot.

Lawrence Button Dr Johnson is friendly, helpful and patient. He addresses my concerns and discusses the options available to me. This allows me to understand more clearly what will work best for my situation. He is excellent.

A.L. Riley Dr Jacobs office visits are always a very good experience. All the staff are wonderful. I am grateful for how Dr Jacobs is so competent and he has substantially improved my quality of life. I give an unqualified recommendation for this office

Alicia DiGiammarino The quality of attention and service here is shocking given the state of the healthcare system. The decor is interesting to look at while still making the space pleasant for waiting. Also beautiful views of the city.

AC2c I am very pleased to have meet McKenzie who is the PA to Dr William Green. My primary doctor referred me to consult with him. McKenzie was very knowledgeable patience and pleasant and she really made me feel very comfortable that she really care and listen. She explained everything in details. She indeed made my visit so comfortable and no stress at all. Overall the office staffs are great and the office is well organized!

Emlyn Folkes Now 2 months out from surgery, I can confidently say Dr. Kelly did a great job with my AC joint repair surgery. Other medical workers that saw the wound post surgery were vocally impressed by the quality of the cleanup him and his team did. Will definitely be returning if I have another shoulder surgery in the future

Toni Lee Mackenzie bed side manner is awesome! She is so thoughtful and wise! Appreciate her guidance and care as well as her support staff! The experience is top notch and I appreciate the support! I was having wrist pain and I wasn’t sure what was going on but she provided a thorough explanation as well as examination and that care I will be ever grateful. Thanks Mackenzie!!

Philippe Fossier Daniel is knowledgeable, efficient and has good bedside manners. I felt comfortable having him as my orthopedic health provider given the sensitive nature of my injuries. I was impressed by the diligence of the California Pacific Orthopaedic office. They were able to see me very quickly and everything flowef effortlessly. Compared with other organizations, this was a pleasant change.

Kaoma Grooms Dr Aghi treated two meningiomas, one with gamma knife and the other with a craniotomy. Both procedures were successful and recovery was quick. I highly recommend Dr. Aghi and his team at UCSF. 11/1/19

Karl Eichorn Beginning to end the ENTIRE staff at UCSF were efficient, professional and inspiring. Dr. Aghi was the consummate foundation for the whole experience. KUDOS

Tilisha Dominguez Great doctor... Remove my brian tumor and great results. Longer recovery than expected but overall doing good.

Harpreet Sra Best doctor . Does a good job on my son’s macro adenoma surgery. Very caring .

Gio Mazzotti This office/team is incredible. After spending years looking for a good primary care physician, I finally found that in Dr. Hassler. He and his team are always incredibly attentive, fit me in last minute when something is wrong, and respond to my messages in a timely manner. I’m happy to have their team in my corner!

John R My primary doctor, I highly recommended my doctor. Sheryl is the office manager is the most beautiful person you will ever meet love you, Sheryl. She makes you feel like family I thank you for everything you do

Amanda Vo New patient here. Great visit, super friendly staff. Thanks Lucas for the thorough check up and recommendations!

Logan Berrian Coolest Dr ever. The stuff that they teach you in school, about patient centered care, teamwork, all that he actually does it. Nice office staff. Good people. Makes going to the dr not a horrible or even just tedious experience. Its actually enjoyable to interact with everyone there, and know that they actually care and have your best interests of wellness at heart.

Gordon Reece Friendly staff who are very helpful and accommodating. Especially when it really counts. Doctor Hassler is a kind and caring professional. I am nervous around doctors. He makes me feel like Im a friend visiting. And he doesnt even let me leave without having all my questions answered. I almost want to give him a poor review so I dont have to share him!!

Joan Benjamin Marilyn, I want to thank you very, very much for others calling you for info--regarding some friends and like Lavell Carradine who takes me there when I have an appointment. Others who say I dont have the ability to take care of myself and again I thank you for writing that letter. It was criticized by Yelina Trubin, who is my dentist, that enough tests were done. I immediately told her they were done. I will look for a new dentist after all my years with her. They all want to take charge of me. Lavell has called you for some advice about some medicine I am taken, etc. and people call you and waste your time. You and I have a long history together and I treasure your thoughtfulness. Until we meet again, stay well and enjoy being with the large family you have. Sending love and "gentle" hugs, Joan

Anya Mezak Came here for a day-of urgent visit following a scratch in my eye. Was seen following a short wait. The doctor was pleasant, professional and helpful. There were a lot of Russian speakers here, so that may be helpful to some. No complaints from me overall. I would definitely come back.

Marcia Elias Smart, kind, accessible, the doctors doctor. Great office staff, and we could not ask for more.

Chris Kelly Dr Dana Peterson is one of the best doctors Ive bene to in a long time. He reviewed my chart before our appointment and asked good questions, he listened to my questions, and he gave thoughtful advice. He was also quick to respond to my messages via the portal. 10/10 experience.

Acts2:38 The medical doctors and staff at Ear Nose Throat Medical Group are highly respected and professional in their fields. They make sure that their patients have access to the best healthcare possible and feel better. I will recommend my family and friends to this medical group. Dr. Hartman is knowledgeable in his field; taking his time my symptoms and providing me with some recommendations (medically) that will help me feel better.

Carole Young Dr. Peterson is very patient and kind. He takes time to answer my questions. And he is super gentle and careful when treating my ears, nose and throat.

Romita Jerath Ghosh Dr Lee is wonderful! The way he is able to diagnose, test and explain your situation is a testament to his expertise and dedication to his field.

Marivic Bautista Dr Mankit Leung was Awesome !!! He takes Imperial Health a Very Hard to Find a Specialist for this insurance. Thank you for taking my 92 year Old father.

Calvin Hawe Dr. Dolhun exemplifies considerate and compassionate medical care. He is an attentive listener and highly intelligent—clearly staying informed about the latest advancements in medical research—and is excellent at making accurate diagnoses. His office is clean and professional, and the personalized care he provides is unique and impressive. Moreover, Dr. Dolhun has an exceptional network of physicians, so if you need a specialist referral, you can expect to be sent to the best. I cannot recommend Dr. Dolhun highly enough—he is truly an exceptional family medicine doctor and is the highest-quality physician offered by San Francisco.

Stacy Wickersham I have been a patient for over 20 years and still can not be happier! I have a complex dual diagnosis. I have to visit doctors often and still have not found a more caring, intelligent, kind, understanding and compassionate doctor. He truly care and makes sure he addresses all of your issues. You leave feeling understood and herd! You will not find a more intelligent and compassionate doctor. He is one in a million!!

Martin Walker The Dolhun Clinic has been my PCP for over 16 years. They went digital early, and their attitude towards preventative care and treatment is refreshing. Dr. Dolhuns approach to care is professional, knowledgeable, and attuned to the latest updates in medical science. The practice is busy, but I have always felt like their #1 priority. To many more years of good health!

D Pedraza Dr. Dolhun is by far the best family doctor I’ve ever had, and I can’t recommend him enough. I’ve been a patient for several years, and throughout that time, he has completely transformed my health and quality of life. From day one, Dr. Dolhun took the time to truly get to know me—not just my symptoms, but my lifestyle, my goals, and my challenges. He listens carefully, asks insightful questions, and genuinely cares about finding the best solutions for my overall well-being. What really sets him apart is his holistic approach to medicine. He doesn’t just focus on treating individual symptoms; he looks at the bigger picture—whether it’s diet, exercise, mental health, or stress management. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve made lasting changes that have significantly improved my energy, sleep, and overall health. I feel better than I have in years and, most importantly, I feel like I’m in control of my health. Dr. Dolhun is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also patient, empathetic, and down-to-earth. He’s always up to date with the latest medical research, and he takes the time to explain things clearly, never rushing through appointments. Whether it’s a routine check-up or a more complex issue, he has always provided thoughtful advice and unwavering support. If youre looking for a family doctor who combines expertise with genuine care, Dr. Dolhun is the one you want. I’m so grateful to have him as my doctor—his care has truly made a difference in my life. He’s more than just a doctor; he’s a trusted partner in my health journey.

rachel gilson Dr. Dolhun has been my doctor for 6years now! He was the only physician I trusted since I moved to San Francisco from Boston. He is professional, while also being approachable. I’m never afraid to come to him directly with any health concerns I have. Dr. Dolhun always takes his time. During the pandemic, I was sick and he went out of his way by delivering my prescription. Dr. Dolhun has an extensive network of doctors and continues to connect me with the top Specialists. I highly recommend Dr. Dolhun.

Jo Murray Dr Callander did knee replacement surgery for me a year ago. I could not be happier with the results! I can walk, hike and play with my grandkids without pain. I was thoroughly prepared ahead of my surgery regarding each step of the process. I highly recommend Cal Ortho! The entire staff is professional, courteous and kind. Their response through my chart were quick and efficient, and phone calls were returned promptly.

Mike N Dr. Callander was my (49M) surgeon for left-side BHR hip resurfacing surgery back in August 2024. He and his team did an outstanding job, They did the surgery in the morning and I was back on my feet and walking (with crutches) by the early afternoon. Their anesthesia team was great, I was out cold for the procedure. I had no complications, and was walking without a cane after about 2.5 weeks. 5 months later and I am able to walk, bike, and even run without any pain. I highly recommend him and the Presidio Surgery Center if you need top notch care for your hip. His PA Johnna Walker also provided excellent post-op care for me.

Lana Potels Doctor Peter Callendar is the best surgeon ever! I know him from 2011, when he did for me hip replacement surgery, then in 2014 other hip replacement surgery. Recently, in 2025, doctor helped me to cure excruciating pain in knee - took him 15 min to diagnose the problem and to help with couple of procedures, no surgery needed. While two other orthopedic surgeons I’ve seen before him suggested knee replacement surgery. I can walk again!

Giovonnae Anderson I had several surgeries with Dr. Callander of the last ten years!! I have both hips and both knees replaced by him. The surgeries all went well and the staff at his office was outstanding. My last knee was replaced in October and I am working out again!! Dr Callander is very knowledgeable and has a wonderful sense of humor. I highly recommend him if you need knee or hip surgery!

Diane Green I had both left and right hips replaced by Dr. Callander. I have the matching pair. I would never have considered anyone other than Dr. Callander and his amazing staff for such a surgery. I am a golfer and my ability to golf is very important to me. Dr. Callendar gave me back my life style. Over all experiences and outcome is nothing short of stellar!!!!

Kayla Lusk Dr Turek and his team quite literally changed our family’s life! After over 2 years of struggling with secondary infertility, and seeing multiple well known fertility clinics, we finally got a referral to see Dr Turek. After telehealth consultation, an in person appointment was scheduled, and the physical exam quickly revealed a significant problem that was likely the source of our fertility issues. Surgery was scheduled, and within 6 months of surgery we were finally able to conceive after years and years of other failed treatments. Dr Turek and his team are phenomenal and took amazing care of my family. My only regret is not advocating for a referral years sooner. As I write this, I am holding my baby boy in my arms, something I never thought would be possible!! A million thank yous to Turek and the team!!

B M I ’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be treated by such an expert. Dr. Paul’s depth of knowledge about my case and his swift, effective treatment plan have truly transformed my life. Thanks to him, I’m now able to live fully, and other aspects of my life have improved significantly. I can’t imagine where I’d be without his support. Thank you, Dr. Paul, from the bottom of my heart. The entire team at the Turek Clinic is wonderful as well—they follow up with every detail and make you feel genuinely welcome

Darrell Keener Dr. Turek and his Team are a 10/10. Communication every step of the way. Friendly and quick to respond to every and any question you may have. Incredibly accommodating to out-of-town guests. He is very thorough to explain in great detail risks of procedures and what to expect. He makes it a point to have direct contact pre and post opt to ensure comprehensive care.

Christine H If youve come across Dr. Turek, just book a consultation and youll instantly know why hes the best. Hes truly amazing and caring. It can seem like a lot to travel to see a doctor, but his staff is wonderful and makes everything so easy for out of town patients. We now have two beautiful children and we are so glad we were able to work with him.

Matthieu Perrinel The Dr Turek did two surgeries on me. Both went great. The experience before and after the surgeries was smooth. I highly recommend it, especially after hearing horror stories from friends who tried to save money by going to less experienced surgeons.

Jorge Martin Mora Incredible and professional staff! Everyone was super nice and attentive. Been going to different hospitals and I finally got answers. So glad I was referred here by my Dr.

Sylvia RF I had my first consultation with Dr. Stefano Bini regarding my hip replacement surgery. My husband and I were very impressed by his warm demeanor, kind approach to my concerns and questions, and thorough explanation of the procedure and recovery process. We feel confident that I am in expert hands.

Christine Harrison This has been my second home for the last year. I just want to say, UCSF Ortho Health, thank you for being the BEST! My doctor and team make me feel like I am always top priority. During my procedure, I not only felt safe but confident. They were with me every step of the way. I never had such dedication as I have with UCSF. My journey is still continuing and I am fortunate to be able to come here and receive the BEST care from a great group of Health Professionals.

Stephen Muser My first experience receiving medical services from UCSF and Dr. Bini was very positive. The office staff was friendly and efficient, the x-ray tech was exceptionally personable and efficient, and my time with Dr. Bini was very informative and productive. One final note - considering the location in a busy part of the city, parking was very convenient.

Peg Folta Effective at explaining my condition, treatment options, and go forward process. Comfortable bedside manner, puts patient at ease. Seems quite knowledgeable and focused on my treatment goals. Highly recommend!!!

gutchinov Dr. Farrell explained the procedure very clearly and performed the procedure very efficiently as explained. He is highly skilled, very patient and very professional. He also explained how I possibly felt after the procedure and advised me all the steps to take to return to normal life. By knowing what is expected has helped me tremendously to cope with the recovery process. I trust him for all my medical needs.

Scott Gross Dr Farrell has provided my routine colonoscopy procedures for the past 25 years. Additionally, he performed several other endoscopic procedures for me during several acute illnesses while hospitalized. He is friendly, very compassionate and a clear, concise communicator. I have complete confidence in him.

anita joe I went to Dr. Farrell after seeing many drs who misdiagnosed my severe stomach issues and dramatic weight loss. Dr. Farrell immediately scheduled his own tests. He was always kind and patient and explained his findings to me at each visit. He prescribed meds that immediately eased my discomfort. Dr Farrell is knowledgeable and aware of new medical updates. Due to his diligence and perseverance he identified exactly what the cause was. My symptoms improved immediately and he advised me how to wean off all the meds i had been taken. We were both so happy when the final endoscopy shown there was no more Inflammation. This is long over due review I am forever grateful to Dr. Farrell He is the best!!!

Joe R Dr. Farrell is amazing and very caring, he genuinely is interested in your well being

Diane Craig Besides being an excellent physician in his field, Dr. Farrell is personable, a great listener, and empathetic to the concerns of his patients. Each individual on his team has made me feel valued and heard. I highly recommend Dr. Farrell for any GI issues.

Ankit Agarwal Dr. Simons is excellent! We started with him when our son was a newborn. He is very responsive (both in person and via emails when we have questions as first time parents) and is generally very casual (but still attentive/detail-oriented) in his evaluations and his visits. I am a physician and value high-quality care - and Dr. Simons is definitely that! While not key to making a choice in physician, his medical office is also quite nice and scheduling/getting through to staff is relatively easy compared to many other offices. I have recommended him to friends and family and will continue to do so. Thank you Dr. Simons and staff!

Gnome Chomsky Saw in another review that the adjective ‘excellent’ was used a few times… but that’s a complete understatement. Noah is the type of medical professional that all others should aspire emulate. His candor with adults, the playful nature with the kids, even his sense of humor is super on point. Add in the fact that his office is full of toys, fish tanks, free balloons, electric train sets…gum-ball style toy dispensing machines… Whatever a young mind would dream of or be put at ease by… it exists here to convince your kid that going to the doc is and will be fun! I can’t recommend this pediatrician enough. Cheers and keep on being super awesome my dude.

Aaron We bring all 3 of our kids to Dr Simons and have since our oldest was born (5 years already). He is patient and kind with both kids and parents. He is moderate in his approach and consults with us on what we think is right, factored in as part of his recommendations. His office staff is buttoned up and his backfill Dr Klein is just as outstanding. Kids love it there too- aquariums, train, balloons for after the visit. Lovely people, lovely office, great care. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Thank you Dr Simons for being our partner on this journey raising as happy and healthy kids as humanly possible!

Gorkem Eskici Our experience with Dr. Simon was very disappointing. He offered minimal information during our visits, necessitating repeated requests for essential guidance. When seeking advice on critical matters like feeding and sleep training, Dr. Simon provided meaningless, dismissive answers, insisting it was our judgment to make. Moreover, we struggled to receive timely responses to our questions on critical matters via email. Despite positive reviews, selecting Dr. Simon was a mistake for us. I would recommend other parents to find a pediatrician who is genuinely engaged in guiding them through parenthood. Dr. Simons "checked out" attitude makes him an undesirable choice for those seeking quality pediatric care.

Alice Tseng Curtis Dr. Noah Simons has been our children’s pediatrician over the past 7 years, since their birth. He is thoughtful and attentive and genuinely cares about our children’s well-being. Dr. Simons listens to our concerns and patiently answers our questions, making us feel heard and understood. He consistently goes above and beyond, whether its responding to emails/calls, staying late when we’re running behind, or fitting us in for urgent visits. As a working mom, his dedication greatly reduces my anxiety, worry and provides reassurance about our children’s health. Our kids feel comfortable and at ease with Dr. Simons because he takes the time to explain what he’s checking and why it’s important, making their visits stress-free. They never fear going to see him. The office staff are equally amazing—kind, courteous, and incredibly patient. The office itself is a child’s delight, with thoughtful decorations including an elevated moving train, aquariums, and huge animal figurines that our children adore. Choosing Dr. Simons as our pediatrician has been one of the best decisions - I highly recommend him.

Katya Pronichenko I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Boycoff because I was feeling very unwell and needed care. I appreciated that the office was able to accommodate me on short notice, but unfortunately, my experience with Dr. Boycoff was disappointing. During the visit, she dismissed my questions and requests, making comments such as, «У меня нет времени на вас. Вы знаете, сколько у меня пациентов?» (“I don’t have time for you. Do you know how many patients I have?”) and «Почему вы просто не пошли в urgent care? Если бы я знала, я бы даже не назначила вам встречу.» (“Why didn’t you just go to urgent care? If I had known, I wouldn’t have even scheduled you.”) When I asked to call my mom so she could ask a few clarifying questions, the doctor declined, stating, «Нет. Я уже сказала, у меня нет на вас времени.» (“No. I already said, I don’t have time for you.”) During my visit, I asked Dr. Boycoff if I had COVID or could be tested, she said, “I won’t test you. Everyone knows that you go to the store and do home tests for COVID.” She then proceeded to tell me that she believed I did not have COVID and prescribed the antibiotic Azithromycin. When I asked if I should go to urgent care, she said there was no need since I had already come to her office. However, not feeling confident in the rushed diagnosis, I went to urgent care afterward, where I tested positive for COVID and was prescribed an antiviral instead of an antibiotic. After the visit, I called the doctor’s office to request the doctor’s notes be sent to me. The office told me they would send them, but I never received them. Overall, I felt that my concerns were not addressed and that the care provided was rushed and dismissive. While I appreciate that the office accommodated me on short notice, this interaction did not meet my expectations for professional and compassionate medical care. I hope this feedback is only helpful for improving the experience of future patients, as I do not enjoy posting negative feedback.

Ulyana Shika The most amazing, caring, and patient doctor. Highly recommend her to anyone

Laura Steinemann Zimmerman Dr. Boycoff is an excellent PCP who truly cares for her patients.She is accessible to her patients which is absolutely amazing and rare. I am very grateful for to be under her care. I highly trust and recommend her.

jane granik Alla Boykoff very good doctor!!!! She is very attentive and responsive and very professional Doctor!!!!

Kevin Clark Very good and thorough Dr. who gets to know her patients and their needs.

marie delloue The very best...Never a problem scheduling an appointment...great assistant until recently when he moved his office. A true General Practitioner with incredible knowledge and a wonderful personality...

andrew rice I just love this guy. I have been going to him for three decades. No doctor is perfect, but he is ohh so close

Beltrami Catherine (CathTL) Great doctor if you can get in to see him. Needs to revamp the scheduling process and/or hire a better assistant.

George Mekeel Youll never find a better Physician anywhere! Hes a true gift to both his patients and the Medical Profession!

Terrie Tannehill He’s the GOAT!

Korey Grimes Although I dont like seeing doctors (who does right?) But since I have to I am glad its here. the staff is friendly , helpful and patient! Always willing to go the extra mile !thank you to the entire staff

Benito Santos One of the best cardiacs centers in the country

Iris Hilton My daughter had Chiari decompression surgery in October 2017. Dr. Jacques was wonderful!

Emily Lambert Dr. Hervey-jumper had a calming sense about him that really helped put me at ease before my tumor removal from my brain. Obviously very competent anf at the same time a down to earth kind person.

Roberta Blackwell The BEST neurosurgeon ever! Dr. Edward Chang has done wonders for my daughter!! So lucky he is on our team!

Tammy K Exceptionally professional, caring, and friendly patient care service team, Sherelyn Dominquez. Sherelyn is prompt, courteous, and caring in handling patient care coordination and shows dignity, empathy and respect to the patient and the patient caretakers. She is above and beyond more than of my expectation in patient care!!!

Anaperla Aureoles My comments are for your support system. Had really bad experiences there Very insensitive toward me.

Thomas DeWitt Jr Top trauma center in bay area. Gun shot and stab wound victims come here with good success. Try not to be one of these victims.

Shelley Tabe Arrey Easy to find, paid parking, lots of homeless around the hospital campus. The architecture is beautiful and the garden plants are amazing!

David Brown 14 HOUR wait in emergency waiting area, doctor in charge of entire emergency wing had absolutely no idea what she was doing, dumped 7ccs of anesthetic straight into my arterial nerve felt like my whole arm was on fire for 20 minutes (at this point all medical practitioners present looked down at the floor and shuffled off). Nurses took turns doing 2 stitches each and all of them slipped on every single one. BILL WAS 5k FOR 6 STITCHES ON TOP OF HAND. Went back a year later for a double j stent removal and the head of Urology didnt know how to read an X-ray, it was upside down and backwards for 5 minutes, when corrected she was snarky and rude. NEGATIVE A BILLION STARS GET TREATED HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK

Denis Park They did an excellent job on renovating. They still needs to be up to date on their older buildings.

Pauline Griffiths Its a trauma hospital with up to the minute medical staff and equipment I give them a10. Keep up the good work peoples.

Ray Kuryla As a Navy Vet that needs to come here quite often for various things, I can truthfully say that the staff is so very courteous to and hard-working for us Vets. Also, its a very nice facility. For you Vets (and friends / family members of Vets) that havent been here yet but will be, you will love the views of San Francisco Bay, Ocean Beach, and Golden Gate Park from the hill on which the Hospital is located.

Camille D Now that many of you will be losing your jobs. Maybe you can start being kinder to patients and their families. KARMA, I don’t think UCSF residents and students call themselves doctors. Why most VA doctors are always on vacation☹️ You’re hospital is next on the chopping block. Go update your resumes. The joy ride is over dumbasses.

Theresa Arabia My son was here for almost a month, the level of care he received was absolutely amazing, he was diagnosed with a very rare condition. He is still recovering and is under there constant care, the doctors and nurses were wonderful to him and his family. I will forever be grateful to this wonderful staff and how they saved his life. God Bless each and every one of you, Thank you

Jeric Wilhelmsen Recently moved to San Francisco and went about the process of transferring all my services from my previous VA facility at West LA. The process went very smooth. I called to schedule my orientation and initial visit with my new primary provider. I told my primary doctor of all the specialty clinics I attended and she provided referrals to them all. Within the next few days all my specialty clinics called to schedule appointments. I’ve been here three months now and have fully transferred all my services and seen all my clinics. Came in today for a follow up. Found parking easily in the lot. The gentleman at the info desk pointed me in the right direction. After my appointment I went to the cafeteria and got an omelette. The food was good and inexpensive. There is a great view from the dining room. It’s a nice facility. Afterwords one can take a nice nature walk with a great view of land end. All in all I’d say I’ve had a positive experience at the SF VA facilities. They’ve been very responsive and proactive to my needs. There are a couple less than motivated employees but very few.

Alan Tweed Arrived during Covid19 and the staff were helpful interviewing and since I was being admitted, I needed and got a Covid19 test. Negative thank you. Admission was extremely helpful walking me to the various sites that I needed to go to. The nurses that attended to me were fantastic. Always a positive attitude, even when faced with some extremely difficult patients. All my nursing staff were excellent in their jobs and were polite and funny carring out my needs. The Doctors were understanding and explained in ways that I understood what i was going through. The surgery staff was both friendly and supportive. I am very appreciative of the services that the staff of all the Veterans Hospitals and Clinics that I have been a patient. Thank you so much for all that you do and carring it out in a friendly and knowledgeable way.

C C “Montea” Just because its clean doesnt mean its great service, one particular doctor had a very jaded attitude, lots of Privacy Act violations and HIPAA laws violated with doctor sharing patient information and be heard across room, I do not recommend this place unless youre dying and have no other option. After reading other comments, it looks like the doctor medical staff have not learned a lesson ignoring patients and taking over 2 hours to address the patient. I was refused services, and the doctor kept trying to push a certain drug that I refused to take, I felt very unsafe at this hospital, I wonder how many patients have been abused, mistreated, disrespectful, belittled. Extremely unprofessional, hire doctors with experience and compassion.

Wilma The actual healthcare received was great, got assessed for a knee injury and received PT for it. All that was fine. Now when it comes to billing? Horrific service. Terrible and will never willingly go back, unless I suppose Im in an ambulance and have no choice. If you want to get an itemized bill to figure out what youre actually getting charged for, be prepared to wait a few months while you play phone tag, then they have to mail you a form that looks like its been Xeroxed from the 90s, you mail it back, then spend more time in limbo until they finally mail you your itemized bill. Now if you want to contest that bill for any reason, apparently you need a dispute form, that will probably be mailed to you in another month. At this point, youve likely passed the time where they will send your bill to collections, which will hit your credit score. EVEN IF you are attempting to dispute an incorrect charge, that has NO impact on them still sending your bill to collections. If you want to receive healthcare from this institution, you either better have health insurance from the gods, or be prepared to just close your eyes and pay whatever bill comes your way. An itemized bill doesnt seem like too much to ask, but oh my word apparently it is.

S S I want to say thank you to the first round of Dr and nurses before shift change happened and then a nightmare happened so after . I went in with abdominal serve pain I know I felt it . Well the second round nurse he wouldnt flush my IV before I could inform him I think my IV not working he walks out . I have no call button had a hard time getting out of bed because the pain was that bad . I go to CT scan again no one checks to see if Im alright or check me prior CT scan I notice all the flush fluid the CT people put it was coming out . I inform the CT scan guy hey I think it been like this for a few hours I tried to tell the nurse but he walk out before I could . He calls in a different nurse because I explain the issue I was having with that nurse he like okay well have the nurse fix it so they can see it been like this . Then I try to stop the nurse and explain he like were waiting for the CT scan he walks out before I finish talking . I get very upset waddle out the room asking for a Dr thinking hey they would help me . They would tell the nurse why hadnt he check my IV before giving medication why he didnt check my ER band to make sure and inform me what type of medicine I was getting . No the Dr gets mad at the patient and I hear her saying it just abdominal pain and started blaming me for DRug seeking !!! FYI I dont do drugs Im new mother to a 8 month old child !!! . It not just abdominal pain it was ovarian cyst. They take my IV had me paperwork tell me to leave . Without having my vital signs taken for over 3 hours . And no I was not drug seeking liar I was upset how your nurse was treating me and not listening to me . This is not how you treat people you dont assume the worse !! . This is what is wrong we with San francisco health system people who need help dont get it we get punished for having pain . No women should have there ovarian cyst it is very painful. They didnt explain to me how to treat it . I went in the next day because I was puking all night and couldnt keep the Tylenol down . When I went in the next day thanks to the Dr prior the one who discharged me without explaintion of what to do when I get home . I felt like now all the staff went to those comments . But there was no notes on how I was treated by the nurse about my IV coming out . They put vital before I left which was not my vitals this not okay I reported it to UCSf I even told UCSf if you dont believe ask the ct scan look at the cameras the another nurse did come in . No he never check my IV he never flush them before mediation went in no he didnt say what he was giving me . If youre in this profession I do respect the time you spend to help people . But if your just in it for money then quit because now Im too scared to go to the Drs because of how you treated me .

Mario Santacruz Yesterday my spouse and I went to get some labs at around 4pm. To our surprise, lab closes at 4pm. However, we went to admitting office to set up an appointment for the following day at 8am. In the middle of the process, the person doing the admitting ( I believe his name is James??) called the lab and to our surprise, this nice lady named Tasha accommodated after hours labs due my spouse. Both employees have a Great spirits, they were very empathetic, caring, & very professional! I want to thanks both employees for their dedication, thoroughness, and kindness to get us in after hours. God bless them!!!

tdellertx We were visiting from out of town. Believe wife tore meniscus and had to go to ER. We checked reviews and St. Francis Staff lived up to reviews. immediately upon arrival assisted wife into ER and got her in for examination. All staff absolutely wonderful and professional. Thank you all

Mathew Dunbaugh I cant ask for more, except perhaps some withholding of judgement... But of course,...it could be me, the silence when I enter the place and say "hi" and get no reply ... Otherwise, the place is doing its job... Although I wonder what the official job title and description is (Of Veteran Case Managers or anyone assigned a potential influence over my fate) ...and what freedoms they are given to recommend a vet to, say, a place they know the vet wont fit in... ...we all know when someone bears you Ill will, and when its those assigned to your care, however minor, it Instills distrust in our institutions.

oldest hippie Ive been going to the downtown clinic for like 8 years, they do an excellent job.....If my Dr. doesnt see me for more than 6 months she comes and knocks on my door to make sure I am OK

Jonathan Ellmann Seeing as I am here on a weekly basis I felt it only a must that i write a review. As you walk through the main double doors and come to the front desk you will be met with nothing but the utmost respect and decency. The men and women that take position here are lovely individuals who genuinely care about your health and well being. No matter if you are a regular or if you are on vacation or just on your way though, I can guarantee they will do there absolute best to help you in what ever you current issue or situation may be. If they are unable to solve your issue do not fret they will not shy away from making you aware that your issue is best suited for the actual VA Hospital which lay just up the hill. You can sit back and relax but dont get too comfortable the wait times are short and you will be in and out in a flash. Yet you can be confident you are getting the best possible care. Comparing to any other VA Clinicss or any VA affiliated medical facility this by far exceeded my expectations and has been such a gift to have in these past months.

bobby Joe VASH social workers are unfriendly and unhelpful, they lie a lot about veterans and seem in the business of hurting veterans rather than helping. if you go to this clinic make sure you go to records on 2nd floor of the main VAMC hospital (ft miley) at 4150 clement street and get a copy of your medical record from SF VA healthcare system because downtown clinic social workers are not advocating for veterans and write insults and destructive remarks in your "treatment notes" ("progress notes") before you go to too many workers at this clinic make sure you know what slander they are saying about you behind your back to suit their agenda the social workers for VASH, Ilya Weber is especially toxic and rather than help will hurt you. do not trust him and Adriana seems nice and friendly by appearances, but trusting her leads to being stabbed in the back

Colon Richerdson Richardson, my experiences with the medical staff and members is impeccable service for many years my Pcs is there and will continue there and ft.miley

Sally Yong We were visiting SFO and my husband fell ill unfortunately. The hotel put us to the clinic. Called at 11am and managed to get an appointment with Dr Savage at 1pm. We were attended to and triaged by the nurse who was very warm and friendly. Waited about an hour before we saw the doctor, believe he was out for another consultation. Anyhow, Dr Savage was thorough and informative about my husband’s condition and gave some good and useful advice and tips to manage and prevent sinus-related problems, and even dishing out some sound advice on parenting :) quite a funny guy! Fees including medicine is not cheap compared to home, probably 5x more, but this is America, healthcare is not cheap and accessible especially for non-residents. All good though, we get peace of mind with a good consultation and meds. Would recommend his clinic.

Lauren K Ill give 2 stars because the manager finally decided to work with me, but still frustrated. Dr. Savage while friendly will talk about a lot of nonsense that when sick and exhausted is not what I wanted, however, I did get the antibiotic I needed in order to get better before flying home. For months Ive been back and forth with insurance, beware this is a regular doctors office, NOT urgent care. I did not realize I needed authorization from my PCP before being seen. The office took my $40 copay and didnt say a thing. Several months later I get a bill for nearly $200 and my insurance wont cover it now because its past 90 days. Ive tried calling to talk to a manager at Traveler Medical Group, finally after 3 or 4 tries I talk to the manager who tells me to call my PCP and ask for a letter of authorization and I told her its too late but she insists on it. I call my PCPs office and they say the same thing that its past the 90 days and its too late the system wont allow them to. Almost a year later I finally worked out a deal on the bill, but SO much time and energy was wasted. Please make sure you call your insurance company to confirm coverage or what you need to be covered because this office wont tell you otherwise.

Roberto Tiscareno I cant tell you how many times Dr. Savage has literally saved my life over the 15 years Ive been his patient. The very first time I saw Dr. Savage was to treat a sinus infection in 2005. One the time I ripped open my knee after a scooter accident he stayed open late to clean me up and called St. Marys ER for me. Ive literally watched his kids grow up in that office. And when my insurance wasnt covered by his practice, I gladly paid out of pocket because I trust the work he and his team does. Thank you Dr. Savage!

Jim Dzúr Dr Savage is my regular primary care physician. Recently, I had a problem with my ear that required a specialist referral. My ear was giving me hell and I was going nuts and could not sleep. I called Dr. Savage at 4:45 AM just to leave a message in order for them to get back to me in the morning when they check their voicemail. Dr Savage returned my call immediately at 4:46 AM. You are not gonna find very many primary care, physicians who will answer your call in the middle of the night, but Jim Savage MD will.

An Adverb Dr. Savage has been my personal physician for nearly 20 years. He’s always been able to “squeeze” me in on short notice, and he’s one of those rare doctors who makes it a point to really know his patients. Even more, his priority is to provide you with immediate relief from whatever ails you. Whether it’s the flu or a strained back, Dr. Savage listens carefully and administers a healthy dose of empathy and medical knowledge. Sometimes you don’t even have to tell him what’s bothering you—like the time I was experiencing vertigo and he was able to determine that just by looking at me. He did an exam and determined that I had a sinus infection. One round of antibiotics later and I was right as rain. In the old days, doctors made house calls because in order to make a sound diagnosis they needed to see how their patients lived. Meaning, to be an effective physician, you have to really know your patients. Dr. Savage understands this like no other physician. Many thanks to you and your wonderful staff for many years of great care, Dr. Savage!
