Highly personalized, timely, and accessible care.
From the front desk to the exam room, you will truly feel like a person, not a number.
The care that I provide my patients is highly personalized, timely, and accessible. From the front desk to the exam room, you will truly feel like a person, not a number.
Each visit is 30-45 mins long with plenty of time to answer all your questions and even do a same-day procedure if needed!
You will not stay on hold for hours with the front desk. A live person either picks up the phone or we call you back within the hour. You can also text our office if you’d like, for easier access.
To be able to maintain care at this level, we are a direct specialty office (aka: out of network).
What does this mean?
Out of network
I do not contract with insurance directly: Insurances are very restrictive on what type of care and the frequency of care that I can provide my patients. I do not wish to practice medicine that way. Every patient has unique needs and I want the freedom to provide the patient with the care they need.
Accessible to all
Regardless of what type of insurance you have, you can still see me as a patient. You pay when you come for your visit. After your visit, our billing department will submit a claim to your insurance with all the necessary diagnoses and codes. Based on your plan and deductible, you may then receive a reimbursement directly from the insurance company. Most PPO plans reimburse quite well (60-80%) back. If you have any questions, check what your “out of network” benefits are with your insurance.
Using your insurance
You can still use your insurance for labs, imaging (ultrasounds, mammograms), tests, and visits with other specialists.
What about surgery?
We will ensure that your surgery is done in a facility that is in-network with your insurance. Your surgery, anesthesia and hospital costs can still be run through your insurance. The surgeon’s fee will be billed directly to you. Again, our office will submit this claim to your insurance so that you may get a reimbursement.
Transparent pricing
All pricing is transparent. No surprise bills from us. You will know exactly how much you are paying before you come in for an appointment.
Exceptions
We CAN see all medicare patients. However, we cannot submit a reimbursement to Medicare so you cannot apply for a reimbursement.
We cannot see anyone with MEDI-CAL insurance, including Alameda Alliance, EVEN if you are willing to pay cash. This is due to MEDI-CAL law. The only exception to this is if you are looking for infertility services, since that is something Medi-Cal does not cover. In my office, we can do basic fertility testing, ultrasounds, and start ovulation induction with medications.
