“Dr. Mohammad Diab is a miracle worker. We were expedited to see Dr. Diab from our son's pediatrician Dr. Pepitone when labs showed inflammation from his lumbar spine fracture. Dr. Diab took one look at my son, asked him some questions, and he ordered an MRI with contrast, a biopsy procedure, and more extensive lab work. He didn't want to operate on our son if antibiotics with IV could cure the problem first, followed by oral antibiotics. What a great doctor, he doesn't opt for surgery! Dr. Diab and his stellar team (Dr. Andrew Figoni, awesome assistant Eric and RN Dede Cerruti responding to my emails) went to work to save a 15-year-old's life, which was diagnosed as Osteomyelitis. We were all baffled by what crippled our son and caused him excruciating pain, especially with a healthy teenager. The delay with another orthopedic specialist (by sending him home) didn't help with his agonizing pain since Labor Day. Our son was admitted to PICU after the labs tested positive for bacteria leading to a serious infection from the "bone fracture". Needless to say, my world turned upside down as a mom. Thank God for Dr. Diab at UCSF, whom patients come to see from all over the world! Dr. Diab is an orthopedic surgeon and Chief of Pediatric Orthopedics at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital. He earned his medical degree from Stanford University; he completed a residency in general orthopedic surgery at the University of Washington and a fellowship in pediatric orthopedic surgery at Harvard University. He came to UCSF in 2002. Our son is on a long road to recovery, but no more intense pain ~ AMEN! He can feel normal again and return to school. We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season thanks to UCSF and remarkable doctors like Dr. Diab! You bet I signed all the paperwork needed to research my son's samples from the biopsy to help save more teens who may walk in with the same symptoms. 'Til next time ~ stay healthy & blessed, see you on Yelp (SYOY)!“

“I have been a patient for years and have had a great experience and even more importantly, great outcomes.“

“Dr Brenda is fabulous. I have been going to her for years. She is professional, kind and a genius at dealing the myriad of my physical issues. I have arthritis, back and neck degeneration as well as shoulder issues. She keeps me going. I would recommend her at 10 stars plus.“

“Loved the work she did for my torn should labrum (SLAP tear). I'm back to swimming and playing rugby all without surgery!“

“I’ve been to a ton of Chiropractors (4 in Marin alone) and Dr Britton is by far the best. If you have an issue with your body that you want to resolve - go to her. If you just want to get cracked because you like the way it feels, go somewhere else. She is not happy cracky.I’ve had chronic issues with my back for a very long time and she took the time to really diagnose and then treat the source of the issue, not just the location of pain. She cares deeply about you getting better and she is a master of Active Release Technique which is soft tissue work and it really does work.Additionally, every appointment starts right on time, you have her full attention for the full duration and then she will share stretches and exercises on how you can accelerate with home care. It’s exactly what I wanted and after a few weeks of treatment I feel great and she told me I don’t have to come back unless I have another issue!Couldn’t recommend her more. I’ve sent my whole family and all my friends to her and they love her.“

“Chalita is incredibly intuitive. I’ve been coming in for a few weeks and am already beginning to feel lighter and better. I highly recommend seeing her!“

“I can't say enough wonderful things about Ryan. My husband and I tried to get pregnant for over a year with no luck. Test results came back normal. We were waiting to see a fertility specialist when I gave this a shot. A month later I got pregnant. Sadly, that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, however, we conceived again immediately. We now have a beautiful and healthy almost 3 year old and a 4 month old. I don't know what acupuncture had to do with it...or if it had anything to do with it...or it was a mere coincidence. I will say...the entire experience with Ryan was wonderful. I had fried acupuncture in the past, however, I was just not convinced. A year before finding Ryan, I had tried another place. Not only did they charge 2-3x the amount Ryan did, the acupuncturist was not helpful, warm, or inviting. I felt dismissed and she couldn't answer many of my questions. I also tried another community acupuncture place, however, it was light and bright, too many people around, dead silent and I found it hard to relax. Ryan's place makes you feel like you are getting private treatment without the hefty price tag. He listened and was welcoming. He was able to answer all questions. And I always felt so relaxed after I left, I felt a difference every time. Maybe letting go of the stress allowed me to get pregnant? Who knows. I am grateful I found Ryan.“

“I have had neck and back issues and Dr. Anderson has been able to help every time. I highly recommend seeing him.“

“I am 61 and snapped my Achilles in two playing pickleball. Dr. Goltz was my surgeon (he has successfully repaired both kids' ACL and my wife's ankle). Six weeks after my surgery, I am walking without a boot, crutches, etc. I recently ran into two gentlemen 20 years younger than me who blew up their Achilles at about the same time as I did...both 8-9 weeks in casts and plastic boots...no walking yet. Since I just started PT, I can only give credit to the good doctor's surgical skills. Highly recommend. Other family members had similar experiences.“
