    Dr. Ling has been my primary care provider/internist for 20 years. She is an exceptional physician - caring knowledgeable up-to-date personable. Readily available and promptly replies to messages. Follows up on and integrates any medical care I've received outside of UCSF. I always feel better after seeing her and more motivated to work extra hard to take care of my health.
