A very pleasant experience. I've never had a consistent primary doc in SF, I feel very comfortable with Dr. Ronay being that guy.

Verified patient
Kind office staff. Well kept facility. Doctor had his own agenda. Poor listener. Also rather terse and almost annoyed at my presence. At best, maybe he’s just not a morning-person or was not having a good day.

Great bedside manner. Helpful. Explained things. Had a skin condition incorrectly diagnosed by a specialist that he figured out immediately. The appointment felt collaborative in approaching my health. Honesty, I usually just settle for competent with doctors and Dr. Ronay was that and more.
Great doctor, very thorough and communicative — helps patient understand and breakdown the test results. Helped me understand good treatment options. Great doc!

Quirky and very nice! Fast and friendly.
Verified patient
He had immediate follow-up solutions and referrals from the symptoms I gave him. Short and simple, no fluff. A friendly and down-to-earth character and didn't talk above me with fancy doctor speak. Really appreciated our call!

Dr. Ronay had a great demeanor and took me back right away, but did not really do anything. I just moved to town and haven't had a general physical/check-up in 2 years. I scheduled him and he asked me a few general medical history questions, and then sent me off. He couldn't do the bloodwork in his own office, he took no vitals, and really didn't do anything. Plus the lab he sent me to for the bloodwork is highly backed up. Probably won't go back and would advise you to seek out an office that can do most basic functions in house. This is the first dr office I've been to where they couldn't even draw blood.
Verified patient
The first time using “tele-medicine.” Dr. Ronay is awesome—very personable, knowledgeable and professional. Meeting virtually was easy, fun and informative. Follow-up real-world bloodwork. Excellent!

Doctor Tom Ronay has been an absolute pleasure to talk to. He is amiable, a good listener, focused, unhurried, practical, straight forward, and casual. I dislike those that put on airs, that think being detached and aloof is professional. Doc Ronay gets it, he's genuine and passionate. It's very easy to be honest with him. To me, that makes him one of the best Medical Professionals I have ever dealt with and hopefully my new GP (if I can make the distance work).
