A clinic where physicians see themselves as healers, front office staff understand the meaning of being scared about one's illness and the operations director (amazing woman) will do anything to get you properly and timely reimbursed. Their idea of getting a billig person to help you file your claims made it possible for me to pay them up-front. Not a bad deal considering that the doctor spent one hour and 45 minutes with during my initial interview. He then spent an hour for the susequent follow up. Having been a patient at Kaiser for over a decade and used to their stardant 5 minute visit, I initially thought the doctor were just being nice to me because I was facing cancer. Then I sent my neighbors and 2 familty members to them who reported the same experience. Thedoctor's East Asian backgrond ( He is from India) added a new touch and very effective approach to my treatment. Obama should include the Akashe Center as a model for patient-centered-less-is-more approach to medicine. My only complaint... Parking. So leave enough time to park.
Pros: Healing place, amazing physicians, all under one roof approach
Cons: parking and cost
