Los Altos, CA -- Primary Care/GYN

Here's a local doctor in Los Altos who I like a lot.

Dr. Patricia ("Nikki") Muller.
Gynecology / Primary Care
(650) 941-4450895
Sherwood Avenue, Suite 100, Los Altos (about 10 minutes from here).

Dr. Muller is a gynecologist who does primary care. She was a nurse long ago, and then an obstetrician for a long time, but she got tired of the long hours and now does mostly primary care in her own practice.
Pros: Friendly and easy to talk to. Takes as much time as needed with each patient; 30- or 45-minute appointments are not uncommon. LGBT-friendly. Seems to know her limits and refers to other doctors when appropriate.
Cons: Doesn't accept any insurance, so you have to submit the claim forms yourself. Sometimes she talks a lot.

California, Menlo Park

Dr. Mary Chan

Menlo Medical Clinic
Menlo Park
650-498-6500

"I have been seeing a gastroenterologist for the past few months and am quite happy with her. I saw a few doctors for the same issue before I was referred to her, and she was the first who I felt really listened to me and took the time to explain things in a way I'd understand".

California, Palo Alto

Dr. Sandra Horning and Dr. Ranjana Advani at Stanford Medical Center for treatment of Hodgkins Disease.

"They're among the top researchers in the country (Dr. Horning is one of the developers of the Stanford V chemotherapy treatment), yet they still treat patients. Their research nurse, Sheila Breslin, is also top-notch. Getting an appointment with them requires going through Stanford's new patient coordinators - your best bet is to search their web site for contact info".
