San Jose Family Practice Doctors

"The doctors seemed fine and its also very close to where I live. They are usually available for appointments pretty quickly. My husband also used them once and saw another doctor there, and got decent service. The doctors we saw (Dr. and Dr. Gubbala) are not as warm and personable as could be, but they seem knowledgeable and the staff is fine too."

"I had been going to this doctor for 15 years. He is an elderly general practitioner. I went to my dentist and he asked me a bunch of questions and wanted to send me to an oral surgeon and said it was not my gland. He advised me to get a second opinion. Then my doctor told me I needed to see an ENT. I found out that it was a lymph node that was malignant. ...more I went back to my doctor and told him that I had lost confidence in him. He was quite nice and apologized and said that he understood. I told him I wanted to transfer my records. He was very professional and didn?t try to defend himself. I told my friend who sees him about it. I am just glad that I went to my dentist. I actually had gone back to him three times for this problem. I talked to other people in the medical field and they couldn't believe my doctor had not thought about the lymph nodes. I don't think he listened to me. He is in his 70?s and should have retired years ago."

"I like that he respects me as a patient and does not talk down to me. He listens to what I have to say and respects me that I have intelligence, and is very considerate about what is going on. He is respectful of what you think might be wrong with you, unlike some doctors. You want your doctor to be a partner with you and not your father, so that ...more is one of the reasons why I really enjoyed working with him as my physician. He is a very cheerful guy and puts you at ease with his cheer. About 15 years he was overweight and I was so glad when he lost weight and got himself into good shape, so goo he is going to be around for sometime. At the hospital all the nurses love him and told me that he is one of their favorite doctors, so I am not the only one that thinks he?s great. "

"My husband insisted and took me to Dr. and he only had me there for 6 minutes and had my husband take me straight to the emergency room. It turned out that it was the right thing to do because my kidneys had shut down. When my husband called, he got me into the clinic, heard what was going on with me and told him that there ...more was something that was really wrong. I think he is a really good doctor and we are happy with him. He is a very compassionate man. The practice is easy to get to and the staff is warm and it is like going to a family physician in the old days. I have recommended a couple of friends there. The same staff has been there since I started going there which was 20 years ago and that is why I like going there, instead of an urgent care where you

?t know which doctor you are going to see. The office environment is comfortable and one thing I like is that they waiting room is never crowded. "

"I support the work they do. I ?t actually like going there because it is so busy but I think it is important that they reach out to people who are unemployed and low income and give them services that they could not otherwise afford. Sometimes I wait four hours for an appointment but I put up with it because it is really convenient ...more and I want to support their work. "

"We really love him. He is just really open and easy to talk to. He listens to you. For me at least, he treats me like I ve got a brain in my head and that is really important. I ve got a lot of complicated things wrong with me and its nice to be able to walk in and say this is what has been going on and this is how I feel about it and he is not ...more dismissive of me, which a lot of GPs are extremely dismissive of patients. They re like, I m the doctor and I know best."
