Threewitt Tanya, MD

I have been a patient of Dr. Threewitt for around 10 years. Allow me to begin by saying, I am low income and instead of paying for insurance through my company, I would easily qualify for Obamacare or other assisted insurance programs, but I REFUSE because I am too afraid of losing Dr. Threewitt as a doctor.
Over the 10 years, she has been nothing but helpful, informative and always willing to sit and explain things to me in detail or answer any questions I have! She has always referred me to the right doctors, if a specialist is needed, and they’ve always been great referrals; I trust her COMPLETELY with my health and body.
To address the person who accused her of being a pill pusher– I realize that review was posted back in 2011, but even back then, that comment is so far from the truth! I was diagnosed with a pinched nerve and fairly severe arthritis in my back in 2006. Dr. Threewitt, before even offering any type of pain prescription, pushed me to go to physical therapy and also gave me exercises to do at home to help alleviate the pain. As the years passed, the physical therapy was not helping as much and I REQUESTED that some sort of pain medication be prescribed to me to help me get through my day or sleep better at night. Even when I requested this, she still tried to suggest other options other than prescription drugs, she expressed to me her concerns about addiction and the damage that prescription pain pills could do to my internal organs. She really did everything in her power to keep me from using prescription meds for my back. So, I know first hand, she is NOT a pill pusher in any way.
I absolutely love her, I feel like she’s a part of my extended family, I am always happy to see her and never feel embarrassed to ask any questions, I feel more comfortable with her than any doctor I have ever been to and would recommend her to anyone who asked for a referral to a fantastic doctor!

Dr. Threewitt has been my primary care doctor for three years. She is simply one of the best! Her diagnosis are accurate, which means that i don’t need to go back for the same symptoms. She takes time to answer questions with thorough explanations.

great, very polite and receptive to my needs, which have been both varied and difficult to pinpoint and diagnose. I’ve been going to her for four or five years now. price is the only reason I can’t give 5 stars and that ain’t her fault, welcome to California. I read another poster saying she’s a pill pusher, I haven’t had that experience at all, not even one bit. she’s down to earth and talks to you like a normal person.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Threewitt for years, she is friendly and knowledgeable. Great physician, down to earth and easy to talk with.

This is a pill pushing Doctor. Does not seem to have the patients best interest at heart. I have never been handed so many samples to «try and see what works for you». I have other medical conditions and to do that was very dangerous. She refused to take me off a medication that was causing one of my internal organs to not work properly… I told her I would take myself off… she then prescribed a med that I had a severe reaction to. Thanks to this experience… I have no faith in doctors… be careful…

I have recently been accepted into an internship programme that requires a skin TB test and a tetanus shot within a month. Coming from a country where you walk into your family doctor’s office and would be seen in 20 minutes, figuring out how to utilise my medical insurance was a challenge, but it was all worth it because I found Dr. Threewitt.
She was extremely kind and informative, very good at giving information according to the patient’s background – after I told her I took psychophysiology in college, she began talking about the quit-​smoking drugs in a way that is more technically satisfying and therefore time consuming than I expected a hurried and busy American doctor would be willing to do.
The staff was wonderful. As mentioned before, I am completely, actually PAINFULLY, ignorant of the American medical system. I was full of exceedingly strange questions and was dumbfounded when they were answered. Whenever the nurse returned, I’d ask the poor dear sweet girl about the forms, «what exactly are they asking me in this legally correct but logically contradictory sentence?» Never once did she frowned at me or threaten to kicked me out of the office. Bless her.
Another thing that I found very wonderful is that the office was willing to work with my time line (the internship did not leave me months to wait for an available appointment).
