    The Csre Provider and assistant were very thorough explaining listening and answering questions. My daughter was on the call and they included her as much as myself. I never felt that the Care Provider was rushing the telepath visit - This I think is very important

    Dr. Andreadis is professional courteous and communicates extremely well. He is always prepared for my visits reviews blood work and labs explaining what tbe results mean in my particular case and alleviates any concerns with those explanations. He additionally follows up on the status of referrals given as support for my condition and acknowledges tbe specific details of outside influences such as 2 recent deaths in my immediate family which admittedly reassures me He is listening supportive as well as asking if he can do anything else that nay ve helpful for me to get through the losses without compromising my own health.I highly recommend end Dr. Andreadis and am very confident with him as my cancer care provider cannot speak highly enough of his integrity knowledge and ability to see his patients not only their condition.

It is with much gratitude and appreciation that I thank him for saving my life.

    This provider is a specialist to whom I was referred to by my regular oncologist. He was familiar with my medical records and confirmed that my status with CLL remains one of "watchful waiting".. Good to get that confirmation from a specialist.
    Feb 28, 2022
    The doctor and doctor's assistant gave me full attention and went above and beyond to explain about my health Issue how to look for signs of the disease and what would be treatment options. They helped me to feel empowered and mentally prepared to deal with any possible outcome.
    Feb 18, 2022
    The brain follicular lymphoma I was told was the first UCSF had ever seen. Now Dr. Andreadis thinks my condition might be something different? I guess that's why it's called "practicing" medicine. Dr. Andreadis is a superb physician which I thoroughly trust and admire. Perhaps he was just reflecting his thoughts verbally?
    Feb 16, 2022
    Great! I feel lucky to see an "expert" in the field!
    Feb 16, 2022
    Dr. Andreadis is a very good Doctor.
