Overall good appointment! More did not like that I had to fill out forms when I got there when I had previously filled out online. Not a big deal butterflies would be nice to not have that.

I was worried about something that had come up with my health. I was able to get an appointment for the very next day. My concern was nothing to stress about, and Dr. Padma explained why. Dr. Padma is kind, compassionate, and a real gem! Do not hesitate to see this doctor. She and her staff are truly wonderful!

She was very passionate and understanding. Gave us good advice. She wants to make sure that all the medication I’m takes was acceptable and won’t do me harm; also got back to us very quickly with the physical therapy information. Extremely compassionate.

AQVerified patient

Everyone at the office was amazing, from my check-in and check-out at the front desk, the initial intake, and everyone else. All the tests and additional appointments were well-organized and communicated in a clear manner. In particular, Dr. John Lee took my concerns seriously and made me feel heard. I look forward to continuing my care at the Oakland location and with Dr. John Lee and team.

There was a disconnect between zocdoc and Dr. John Lee's office. My appointment with Dr. Lee was not recorded in their books. I had to do the registration all over again.

Office efficient in setting up needed tests. Dr. Hassar listened attentively and set up appropriate tests. Patients are in good hands.

As a new patient, I did not know what to expect, and am happy to report that I had a worthwhile and pleasant experience. Dr. Hajjar was an intent listener and put me at ease. I believe he diagnosed my situation clearly and gave me helpful advice and the correct necessary prescriptions.

Initials hidden

Dr. Hajjar may be the most personable and welcoming doctor I’ve ever encountered. From simply having good conversation about personal life and activities, while also having a genuine and educated concern for me.. it was that of which I’ve never experienced with another doctor. He even went out of his way to give me an echogram simply for the sake of wanting to ease any concerns. I also came a bit late for my appointment, and was seen maybe no more than 5+ minutes later. As a whole, this place is ran beautifully.
