Yesterday was my first day in the new office. It was a pleasure settling in. I am very grateful for Dr. Jasmine Teleki’s heroic efforts in finding the office and arranging the move! If you are coming to the office it should not be hard to find. It is on the West side of West El Camino Real in Mountain …
Mountain View Office
Today is the last day that Dr. Teleki and I will be in the downtown Mountain View office. Beginning next week we will be a few blocks away on El Camino Real. The new office will have easy parking at all times (many of you have noticed that finding parking in Mountain View near meal times is practically impossible) and …

Collaboration with Health Professionals
After a number of traded phone messages and emails, a psychologist we have been trying to talk to about a mutual patient, sent an email: “Unfortunately, our schedules are a complete mis-match.” Earlier this week we finally managed to talk to a naturopathic physician about another mutual patient, after three weeks of traded phone messages with her secretary. Good communication with …
Google Reviews – How-to [2022]
