I saw my wonderful primary care physician Dr John Madej today after working together remotely during Covid. I live with a number of long term chronic health conditions including 2 meningioma brain tumors, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and viruses that keep reactivating There is NO WAY I could manage all that without Dr Madej!  I was feeling overwhelmed with some new symptoms heading into my appointment. By the time I left his office I was calm and confident that whatever is ahead I will get through it with Dr Madej's excellent care.  Read Less

I'm in my 60's so I've had lots of doctors over the years. Dr. Madej is by far the best I've ever had, and I'm pretty picky. I've yet to call with a problem that he didn't immediately start to trouble shoot. And that's what most doctors aren't, trouble shooters. His mental gears start rolling even before I hit his office - and he almost always brings a patient in the same day they call with a problem (at least that's been my experience) and he works with them on such a personal level to get them the treatment they need - he communicates with us via private cell phone and an app. When my daughter was working and going to college in the North Bay, if she called with a medical problem he would stay late to see her since she couldn't get back to this area until 6-7pm. And if we needed him on a weekend, he made himself available - what modern Big Box medical centers have doctors who do that?  So, he goes out of his way to make sure his patients get treatment of some kind even if that means he has to sacrifice his own time to do it. He reminds me of the country doctor who puts patients over profit. His wife (I think a nurse) runs the office which is quiet and clean. They don't overbook patients and you can be assured your call to him does not go unanswered (sometimes he answers it himself which always catches me off guard lol). He also refers patients to top specialists if it's a problem out of his scope though honestly, I'm pretty sure he can treat just about anything.  He'll call the specialist right there in front of you to  get you in - and they do it!  He has connections and he uses them to get you the best possible care. While I was being treated elsewhere I'd be told, "Oh, you have Madej? I heard he's really great!".  YES HE IS! He has fought hard to stay out of the Kaiser, PAMF conglomerates (though he has privileges at many hospitals and will come to see you in you're admitted). He works with the patient on his schedule and does not cave into an allotted insurance time frame. With medical care becoming so sadly government controlled, he tries his best to hang in there and continue to treat his patients to the best of his ability - which is why an appointment with him isn't limited to what the insurance will allow. That means he goes without the kickbacks insurance companies give physicians, so he has a concierge type program (which you pay for but he'll even come to your home) for those who want even more private and personalized care from him. He treats you like a human being - not a number and gives Rx samples when money or insurance coverage is lacking.. True, he's not the hand holding, warm and cozy type, but he LISTENS, is caring, intellectually brilliant, amazingly accurate, and deeply concerned about the care of his patients as we slip into government controlled oblivion.   There's a reason he received the 2017 TOP DOCTOR AWARD. This was voted on by his peers, but I can assure you that he also receives that HONOR and respect from his patients.  Read Less
