"This is a review regarding the pathetic service provided by both Sutter Health and their OBGYN Nancy Tang. I am in my late 30s and had been undergoing hormonal changes which resulted in extreme fatigue and acne breakouts to name a few. In my desperate situation, I called PAMF who made an appointment with their only available OBGYN (now clearly evident why available) Nancy Tang. I showed up for my appt. and was made to wait for nearly 50 mins even though I was on time for the appointment. In my frustration, I informed the indifferent front desk receptionist that I was going to leave as I had waited long enough and to cancel the appt. As a typical PAMF staff member, she shrugged her shoulders and said this counts as a visit and would be billed. So I helplessly waited another 20 mins after which I was summoned inside by a nurse. This woman told, me as though I was being done a favor, that it is the doctor's lunch hour and that she has very limited time to spend with me. A few minutes later Nancy Tang enters the room and asks me my symptoms. She dismissed my condition by telling me that I am slim enough not to have any serious medical issues and that she could write me a prescription for birth control which would take care of the acne. I requested her to conduct a few lab tests (having some basic education myself), to diagnose the cause for the fatigue. She said it is nothing and that she had to leave. In all she spent approx. 5 mins at the door to convey her diagnosis. In despair, I went to see another physician at Valley Medical care, who conducted a few tests, and detected hypothyroidism. Of course, as anticipated, PAMF immediately dispatched their invoice for having dispensed advice through their quack. I called PAMF and filed a complaint against this service. I did not hear back from them for 2 months about the outcome of their investigation, instead I was dispatched another invoice. Also, this is not an isolated incident from PAMF that I have experienced, perhaps just the most serious and worst. My earnest advice to anyone reading this is to avoid PAMF and their unqualified physicians. And if you have already made the mistake of visiting them, always get a second opinion from another institute."

"She had no bedside manner or compassion. I had just had a miscarriage. Her staff was nice. But Dr. Beatty made me feel like I was an annoying inconvenience. She even tried to make a joke. I was so upset and insulted. "
