“I highly recommend this doctor, I went in for a serious pain behind my ear and wanted to find out if it was a middle ear infection or something that time would heal (pulled muscle). I was able to walk in and be seen about 30 minutes after I finished completing my new patient paperwork. The location is on San Pablo, which, as a street is extremely run down and not a good area, you will likely run into homeless people on the sidewalk and possibly prostitutes. But at the end of the day, if you live in Oakland so this is what you should expect walking around anywhere that isn't closer to Emeryville/Berkeley/Piedmont etc.. The office itself is ancient but clean, the room where you will be seen will remind you of horror movies that take place in asylums. Get over it, the doctor has been practicing there since that stuff was new, if it works then I am ok not paying for shine. The receptionists were nice once I was nice to them and proved that I could pay for the services I was requesting. This is typical of most people in service in the bay area, they deal with so much entitlement and theft that you will be treated like the majority until you prove you are something else. I would have rated this location five stars if it was a number of things it could not be, or rather things that just don't exist. In reality all doctors offices should be brand new and staffed by people that look like they are from commercials for nursing schools. But these places don't exist, even if you go to Kaiser/Sutter you will wait 20-40 minutes past your appointment to be seen and your appointment will last 10-15 minutes. The doctor gave me about 40 minutes of his time and for that I am grateful, also confident in his diagnosis. Pros. -He has been a doctor for an extremely long time operating in the same area for over 40 years. I think that if he was giving dangerous advice then he would have been either out of business or lost his ability to practice some time ago. -He was very thorough, in a calm chatty way checked my prior medical history thoroughly and let me explain what I thought was wrong with me. He proceeded to thoroughly check my vitals and establish where I was in regards to my overall health. -Walk-ins welcome before 3 on M/W/F -Armed guard on site, (don't have to worry about some crackhead robbing the place while you are there for medicine) Cons. -Location is terrible, the city has let itself go so what do you expect. -Facility is ancient and does not have a lot of the auxiliary resources you may have available to you at a big hospital (you should have expected this though)”

500 San Pablo Ave, Albany“Today was my first visit and I feel relieved to have found a PCP I want to keep! Tinebeta Mekonnen is who I have been searching for! She is knowledgable but down to earth, took her time, truly listened and was easy to talk to and empathetic. I love her! Her assistant Gerri was also lovely as was everyone I encountered at this clinic, even the security guy at the entrance greeted me pleasantly. I know I am lucky to have it but navigating healthcare has can be so frustrating sometimes--my experience at SEBF was easy and pleasant and I'm glad to have found it and Tinebeta!”
“This appointment was for an annual wellness exam. Dr. Nebenzahl was very patient and unhurried in going over my medical issues and making helpful recommendations. She also had me take some blood tests to uncover issues that a physical exam can't. Dr. Nebenzahl is my Primary Care Physician and I give her the highest marks.”

Some insurance plan will have copay so it might just cost you $20< per visit.They are very responsive with in app messages. Usually I can get prescriptions/ questions answered without scheduling an appointment.Service is really nice and efficient. No long wait. Highly recommended”
“It was busy but if you made an appointment, they tried their best to get you in. Once there, I was pleasantly surprised with the attention to detail, and quick action of the workers there. I immediately got my prescription and they recommended I see my primary care provider to follow up.”

“I have been very impressed with the care the my elderly mother has received from members of this practice over more than 15 years. She usually sees Dr. Kuruma who is both caring and very respectful.

I have mostly seen two doctors, Dr. Tran and Dr. Fong, but everyone else here I've come in contact with, from nurses to a social worker to administrative staff, has been conscientious and competent. Asian Health Services is an exceptionally well-run organization.”

180 Sutter St, San Francisco“Very happy with the quality of care and experience at Forward. I have been a member for about 6 months now, it's convenient, professional, pleasant, forward thinking. I am very satisfied with my experience at Forward. I did not show up without health issues, I had just recently suffered my 4th head injury, my neurochemistry was a mess, my ADHD symptoms were through the roof, I had never treated it before, and it was debilitating. Rapid firing of discontinued thoughts to where I couldn't initiate an action. It was horrible! With increased head injuries, as with ADHD, one runs a higher risk of developing Parkinson's and Alzheimer's down the line. I wanted a forward-thinking, preventative solution. Forward was it. Got my medical genetic assessment, they helped refer me to a psychiatrist. i was calling around, nobody was taking patients, I was desperate, Forward helped me get the care that I needed. They handled my vaccinations, got me on a program for heart health, since I have a genetic predisposition. Yes Forward delivering on the intention and promise! Preventative medicine makes sense! I'm grateful that someone is prioritizing it Stateside, instead of only cashing in on the sickness. I like Forward!”

Having a Quality Primary Care Physician like Doctor Chan to turn to when You need to connect with the Bay Area Medical Community is Golden! : )”

1801 Shattuck Ave. suite a, Berkeley“They should call it FIVE Medical, as they are 5+ stars!! Great service. I see most of the bad reviews here are complaining about the annual fee because they don't understand how one medical works. I have been with One Medical for 10+ years and the annual fee is a FANTASTIC investment. I have always been seen EXACTLY on time for EVERY doctor appointment at EVERY location. How many other doctor's offices can you say that for? Also that annual fee covers a lot of extra services and fantastic customer service (appointments, quick prescription refills, super easy labs, virtual care, etc). I've never not been able to make a same-day appt in a pinch (may have to go to another local location). It feels like a whole medical army has my back. Specific to the Berkeley location, I have been seeing Jess Pinder for my primary care for several years now and he is fantastic. I started seeing him in one of the SF offices and since he transferred to Berkeley when it opened, I have been commuting over the bridge to see him. They also support zoom appointments which has been a huge time saver as well. 10/10 highly recommend.”
