Jean Huang, MD

I think she's absolutely great and one of the best! She was everything I was looking for in an Endocrinologist! I was so worried with the limited offering in my network and area, but she appeased any doubts and I now have nothing but full confidence! I had total faith in my old Endocrinologist from Stanford Health Care network before, and Dr. Huang is just as excellent. She's very well spoken, notably smart, and undoubtedly competent -- which is evident from, and speaks towards, her impressive credentials -- I can even tell with even the lab blood work she orders! She ordered more than the run of the mill test that others have; ordered tests that spoke to the health of my other organs that might be affected or related by my condition. It's not only shown in this, but also how she even records (and I assume is transcribed) our appointments so she gets and retains every detail to not miss a thing and be sure to consider everything. She listens patiently, considers everything that has… been said and explained/expressed, then lays out goals and makes plans to go forward based on it all (lab work, description of experiences, examination), and does what she can to help. Again speaking about how well spoken and smart she is, it truly shines through as she explains and describes aspects & things. She's very personable, understanding, considerate, supportive, encouraging, kind, and easy-going; which you can't say of many doctors as she is NOT pretentious, cold, condescending, inflexible, or insensitive (she is the exact opposite). Another positive that you don't find in many doctors is that she is most responsive to messages (sent through MyChart even); which gives & reinforces the feel that she is accessible, most helpful, and organized. Speaking of which, I really like that she and her office use MyChart and Care Everywhere so anything medical related can be coordinated with my other health care providers. The front office seems rather disorderly, though, and there have been a few hiccups here and there (not in terms of appointments and scheduling, but in other ways); which isn't too surprising as this is one of the few that takes Medicaid/MediCAL. But I have found the staff to be most friendly and genuinely eager to help! I actually enjoy talking and interacting with them (not shooting the breeze or anything, but in any administrative process dealing; they're just that nice & friendly!). My only notable criticism is that finding it can be difficult. Even getting into the parking lot can be difficult, so I would say the parking is tricky (both entering and in the layout/finding-parking). In terms of the actual clinic, it adds to the difficulty in finding it because its placement is not really in the front (which isn't too much of a problem and can't be expected of all clinics but) and there are no clear, big enough, or obvious signs of the clinic! The suite number or any signage isn't obvious, and I found myself not too sure it was the place even standing right in front of it. In the end, after I couldn't see my original Endocrinologist any longer, I was so nervous and anxious in searching for a new one as there aren't that many in my network and I was sincerely worried about merely settling/resorting with no other options. But I am so glad and nothing but happy & confident with Dr. Huang and her care of me. I feel fortunate and lucky to have landed someone with the impressive credentials and as competent, smart, and knowledgeable as her; and moreso that she's a wonderful person & doctor on top of that. All of this can be attributed to why I can finally say that my condition I see her for has been successfully handled after half a lifetime of it never being able to be.
