Steven Curran, M.D.

One of the best doctors I have ever seen… I just moved back to the Bay Area and wanted to find a good doctor. Unilocal was right about him, very caring, welcoming, listening to my issues and offering the right help. I been back and forth seeing him a few times now. Some time the wait time is a little long but it is out of his control… just because other patients and stuff… I feel comfortable with him and he got the right touch to heal patients for sure. I def recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Curran has been treating my MIL for 4 years now. He always takes his time with us and we never feel rushed. He actually lets me finish a sentence and carefully considers his response before talking. He really takes in what you say and processes it rather than spouting off the generic medical jargon for the symptom of the day.

Dr. Curran has been my general practitioner for over a decade now and I am glad to have been under his care all this time. I have been staving off going to Kaiser just because I am so satisfied with his care. He has the perfect demeanor for a doctor and has been able to work with me to fix my lingering ailments. Thanks, Steven!

Dr Curran has been my primary care Dr for the last 20 yrs.
He is excellent.
Always takes time to listen to the patient and discuss all questions. I never feel rushed.
He treats the patient as an individual and not as a statistic

I have seen Dr Curran few times over the last 5 – 6 years in warm springs clinic. He is definitely a doctor with a pleasing personality, takes the time to listen and explain his findings. I have seen him for minor issues, so don’t know how he is in diagnosing tough ones. Like all the doctors, I guess they book patients back to back, so have to spend extra time in the waiting room for him.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Curran’s for years for one simple reason. He and his staff are the best. Dr Curran takes his time, explains things thoroughly, and I always seems to leave feeling better and with a smile on my face. His favorite saying is, «you pay me to think the worst» so I know he considers all options. I have complete confidence that I am in the best hands possible. My whole family goes to Dr, Curran. His staff is prompt, courteous and they always follow up when they say they will. Dr Curran and his staff have always treated me and my family like their family. You won’t find better. Enough said.

I searched alot to find a decent physician. After alot of false starts, one of my colleagues recommended Dr. Curran. His approach to health care, the fact that he makes you a partner in one’s own health care and does not promote medicine as a matter of course are things that matter to me. His calm, personable and professional demeanor are great assets. Last but not least, he is very polite even when he is telling one «time is up matey». «Is there anything else I can do for you».
I am not sure about those who have had bad experience with the clinic. Nothing and no one is perfect. Life sometimes is quite unpredictable. Dr. Curren deserves a second, third and forth chance. He is a good egg.

Best Doctor I have ever had. He is kind, generous with his time. Being an old cancer patient (not his) he took the time to go over test results and on more than one occasion he called my home after hours. He got me my tins unit for my back, which I desperately needed and still use. His staff was always so helpful, kind, sweet. He got so popular, at times, it was hard to get an appt. Dr. Bodner, another Dr. on staff, she rocked it so all was well. I miss Dr. Curran and his staff and wish them well.

My first review of Dr. Curran’s practice was four years ago, when I was a new patient, about six months.
To date, I have not had a single bad experience, no prolonged waiting room stays, no assembly line treatment, nothing.
The staff is responsive, thorough and professional. And the appointments are never rushed.

Visited Dr. Curran for the first time today and am so grateful to have had these reviews. He is definitely a very polite, caring, professional and competent physician with a superb bed side manner. I actually rate him at 4.5 and highly recommend him.

I’ve been a patient since Aug 2011, Kaiser prior. The shock of a doctor who didn’t rush, talked about all my concerns. The staff is awwesome.
I cant say enough about Dr. Curran, he has changed my attitude about my health care.
What ever doctor I see within Washington Township Medical always ask who’s my Primary Care?, when you say Dr Curran they smile and say «Great Doctor»
If you are reading this and need a Primary Care, call his office you will be amazed at the results. Good Luck to all.

This physician is special! Dr Curran obviously loves interacting with people. First time in my life that I ever thought «this doctor is talented, calm, supportive, skilled and a very good listener and communicator. I’m so glad he is directing my care. I actually enjoyed my time in his office. His staff is great, too!
Definitely go see this man if you want to enjoy interacting with a very caring and skilled physician… I drive 20 miles to see him and it’s totally worth it.

Best Dr I’ve ever been too. The employees are very nice and one great thing is they call me back right at my appointment time and I get in and out pretty quick. I have extremely painful back injuries from a car accident from a year and a half ago. It took a year for the legal stuff for it to be over and in that time only one Dr would see me, who refused to order an mri or an x ray because he thought that I was just trying to get money for my lawsuit. After him it seemed the few drs I tried to talk to just thought I was there to beef up my lawsuit or was just there to score pain killers (since I’m 24 but look 17). I decided to give up until I moved to hayward and then i would start over.
I found Dr curran off of Unilocal and made an appointment for the same week. When I finally saw him I started crying the whole time because I wad in so much pain and was used to being treated like a drug addict or a false for so long. He actually TOOK TIME WITH ME AND LISTENED. It was so nice. He was so nice and thorough and even called and got my mri report from another office to be sure. He referred me to a physiatrist and I’m finally getting treatment.
Like I said. Best Dr ever.

I was with Kaiser for years, and when I switched my plan to Aetna HMO, I had to choose a PCP (Primary Care Physician) and had no idea who to choose. I needed a doctor that was not too far from home, close to work, and someone with good reviews. Unfortunately no one I knew had anyone they could refer me to, and thanks to Unilocal I found Dr. Curran.
I’ve seen him twice and have had a number of calls to their office. I’m extremely impressed by their professionalism, knowledge, and responsiveness.
The best part is, when you have an appointment you don’t need to wait long to be brought to an examination room, and even better is that you don’t get left waiting in the room for a long time before the doctor comes in.
It’s probably a combination of the way the staff keeps to schedule, and the fact that the patients have a respect for getting to their appointments on time as well.
Hands down, this experience has been wonderful and I’m glad I found a new PCP.
This review goes for the staff as well. They have been nothing but pleasant and great to work with!

My mom refuses to see anyone else. And she has seen probably 4 – 5 doctors while we’ve lived in Fremont, so that really says something.
I’ve never had a bad experience here or anything, and Dr. Curran offers his advice very lightly, never pushing anything upon you. I’ve never had to stay too long in his office, and he’s quite quick between the time from the nurse leaving from the general check-​up to him coming in.
He is VERY popular, so make the appointment early — he’s usually booked full a day in advance.

I just had my first appointment as a new patient with Dr. Curran and I must say that he and this office at Washington Township Medical Group have their stuff together! I took the advice of the appointment reminder and printed the new patient forms and filled them out before i arrived. After a brief check in, I waited in the waiting area for maybe 3 minutes before I was called. The staff was prompt and polite and Dr. Curran was quick with a knock on the door after the assistant left the room. Dr. Curran listens attentively, offers excellent medical direction and even sneaks in a little humor to keep the visit light. In finding a new Primary Care Physician, I made a Hole in One!

This doctor seems to have wonderful reviews; however I will never have the chance to know. I recently had a change in insurance, and for whatever reason, Health Net assigned me to a doctor 2 cities away, Dr.Curran. And though I have been meaning to change the health care provider to someone local, I called Dr. Curran’s office because I am really ill. And the receptionist was so RUDE! I would rather pay my fees & use my PPO tier or go out of Network. I have worked in doctor’s office’s for the last 10 years, and I always know that when a patient calls in and says they are sick, you have to put on your best face, no matter how short tempered the person is, because being sick is the most vulnerable time for a person. Even if the person is extremely rude, it’s a phone call and it will end soon enough. Piece of advice for the front desk know you are the gateway to the facility.

Oh, I love Dr. Curran! He is wonderful! The Washington Clinics are kind of his baby, so not only is he an awesome, knowledgeable, effective doctor — he’s a great administrator, too.
He’s also a great conversationalist, connecting experiences and things you’ve said, giving him a great «bedside» manner.

He is very, very good. Knowledgeable, doesn’t rush you out, thorough and has great bedside manners. Both my husband and I go to him, and we’ve never had any complaints. He was referred to us by a nurse while my husband was getting out-​patient surgery years ago and we wouldn’t go to anyone else.
The only downside is that usually the wait is long, even in the mornings. His office is very busy.

Dr. Curran is my primary care physician. As long as I live in the bay area, he will remain so.
No kidding, he is wonderful with a great personality. I’ve also seen him on the Fremont public television conducting lectures/​seminars to elderly groups, etc. Very benevolent!
Thanks Dr. Curran, you are the best and have my 100% confidence.
Sincerely,
Ed in Union City.
