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.

Florida-Nephrologist/Anesthesiologist
