I was very disappointed to see any words of displeasure relating to Dr. Mirmira. I have been going to Alamed Family Physcians starting when my family moved to Alameda over 20 years ago. Of course, there was always a wait, and we didn't mind because all of the Dr.'s made us feel like we were the only patients in the building at the time. The first time I met Dr. Mirmia he was extremely thorough, very kind, and collaborated with me on my care. He made sure that the path to treatment was something I was willing to participate in; he spoke TO me, not AT me. Once our granddaughter was born, I coudn't think of a better provider than Dr. Mirmira to care for our precious gbaby girl. Visiting the Dr. can be very difficult for some people, although Dr. Mirmira has always made our family comfortable before even talking about the purpose of the visit. This review may not reach those who have already met Dr. Mirmira, so I hope it reaches those who haven't met him. He truly knows his stuff...and he's a nice guy too.
