Avis Logan, M.D.

Furious! Lost 3 hours of work pay and had to wait an hour and get my kids to school early and didn’t even get seen by Dr Logan who clearly doesn’t care about seeing patients on time — waited an hour and had to leave. No awareness of my medical condition could be exacerbated by anxiety of waiting to be seen. I should’ve compensated for my lost wages too! And parking fee. So unimpressive. No awareness of patient care. Left her a letter with reception for her to acknowledge this and we will see if it even gets to her or if she responds. Shocking. 2^nd awful experience here

Absolutely adore Dr Logan! I’ve been trying to find a primary for years and as soon as I met her I felt totally at ease. Dr Logan has such a likable, easy going personality and yet is very intelligent and efficient so you can’t help but like her as a person and as a doctor.
So excited to say my hunt for a primary doctor has ended!

Best Doctor in the Bay Area…
I’ve been seeing Doctor Logan for 7 years… and the last 6 months have been a «nightmare» that she walked side by side with me, and gently guided me through the medical maze…
I highly recommend Dr Logan to anyone in the Bay Area looking for a doctor who cares, and take her Oath to heart…

I have been a patient of Dr. Avis Logan for over 9 years. She has been thorough and has been quick to respond to my requests. She seems to take the conservative route and that is something that has its advantages over other Practitioners that tend to push various treatments on their patients. I remember once when I was interested in getting gastric bypass surgery, she was actually opposed to it and expressed it in the most gentle way. As is her nature as a Practitioner that listens and cares she did give me the referrals and started the process which I elected to not follow through… and today I am most grateful, as I am on a healthy plan for lasting recovery from compulsive overeating. My last physical she spent a considerable time with me listening and most importantly hearing me! Honestly it also works for me that she is a female Doctor and close to my age. She is just what I was looking for 9 plus years ago!
I highly recommend Dr. Logan as a primary Doctor! She is the best! You will not be disappointed. The only challenging thing is getting through the various phone messages in the office. It has gotten much easier though to get messages to my Doc and get referrals or prescriptions that I need. I believe the feedback has helped to change the overall functionality of the «office»…

I’ve been to many doctors since I moved to California, and I am thankful for Dr. Logan’s services. I was thankful for finding a doctor who had new patient appointments, and was knowlegeable. I highly reccomend her!

Due to a job change I lost my Kaiser insurance. I thank my lucky stars for that as I now have Dr. Avis Logan as my primary care doctor who changed my life at my first appointment. I have been dealing with a chronic medical condition for 19 years and at my first appointment she referred me to a specialist who knew how to treat my condition and I finally got relief. My second appointment with Dr. Logan for a routine physical was amazing. She is very knowledgeable and up-​to-​date with medical treatments, she is easy to talk with and I did not feel rushed during my appointment as she takes time to listen. Without a doubt, I highly recommend her.

Avis Logan has been my physician for about 9 years as of this writing. I absolutely adore her! I never feel like she is rushing me out of the office and always answers my questions. But what I like best about her is that she is very encouraging. Still haven’t started exercising yet? Forgot to get the blood test? No lectures or guilt trips. Instead, she uses gentle encouragement to get you back on track. She is the best.
The office staff, while not perfect, is maybe a cut above the staff in some other doctors offices I’ve been to. As for getting an appointment, Dr. Logan doesn’t work every day so you sometimes have to wait a bit to get into see her. But they almost always have same-​day appointments available, especially if you call early, with either a physician’s assistant or one of the other doctors in the practice.
I noticed another review that expressed a 180 degree different opinion than mine. While it’s amazing to me that someone could have a negative experience with Dr. Logan, I can only think that some people just click (or not) with each other. I think this is especially true of a doctor/​patient relationship, which is very, very personal
BTW, another reviewer said that she tried to make an appt with Dr. Logan and was told the office is closed. This is an error: as of this writing (Feb 2012), I can assure you Dr. Logan’s office is very much open. I’ve seen her at least 4 times in the past 6 months.

You know, I almost hate to write this, as I fear that getting an appointment with Dr. Logan will become more difficult. However! In the name of quality health care! Dr. Logan is truly fantastic. Unlike many other docs I’ve been to, she takes the time to treat the whole person. Have questions? She’ll answer ‘em all without making you feel rushed. Don’t like the idea of taking meds? If there’s an alternative, natural therapy out there, Dr. Logan will help you find it. She’s sharp and on top of the latest research. Trust me, I’m picky when it comes to health providers – Dr. Logan is the best.

I cannot believe the other review I saw of this doctor. My three visits with Dr Logan were so utterly miserable that I finally left her office in tears, humiliated and demanded my medical records on the spot so I would never have to deal with her or her office again. What a disaster. I would not call that a family practice, I would call it a factory.

Knowledgeable family doctor. Very thorough in her assessment of my problem. Suggested homeopathy as a complement to her treatment plan (can you say, «amazing?»).
Kudos for being impeccably dressed as well. And timely. We’re all looking for a capable doc who will see you at your appointed time, right?
The other doc and nurse practitioner in the practice were very capable as well.
