    Provider was in a rush. She was in the room for less than 10 mins. I understand all providers are busy however, she should have time to listen and respond to all my questions or concerns. She said that all recommendations will be on the after visit notes. It has been 3 days and she has not uploaded the after visit notes yet.

    May 10, 2024
    Had a great experience with my doctor! The only thing that was difficult was by the time the doctor showed up (and was very apologetic for the delay), by that point I HAD to be in/out within 5 min to make my next meeting. So I was very rushed but appreciate that the doctor was not and showed a lot of attentive care
    Apr 24, 2024
    My provider was very kind, patient, and answered all my concerns with compassion.

    I was thoroughly delighted with my new dermatologist. I have been looking for one for awhile and have finally landed! She was knowledgable, caring, professional, and personable. I will recommend her to my primary care person, who has also been looking for a person to refer her patients to.
    Nov 10, 2023
    I felt that the doctor did not listen to my concerns with attention and care and just prescribed medication without reading my chart.
    Nov 08, 2023
    I am incredibly grateful to have Dr. Dobry as my dermatologist. Her expertise and genuine care have made all the difference in my skin. Dr. Dobry is not only highly knowledgeable but also an exceptional listener who took the time to address all of my concerns. Her explanations are clear and thorough, ensuring I fully understand my condition and treatment options. What sets her apart is not just her medical expertise, but also her warm and friendly personality. It's evident that she's passionate about her work and genuinely cares about her patients' well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Dobry to anyone seeking top-notch dermatological care. She's simply the best!

    Dr dobrey is an excellent physician.
    Oct 11, 2023
    She was nice enough.But the visit felt a bit rushed. Since the lateness puts her at a disadvantage for the rest of the day.
    Sep 27, 2023
    Very bad experience. Seems like the provider wanted me out of there as soon as possible. I do not feel good about the solution she gave as she herself wasn't even sure it was going to work. I hope to not be with her again but this is my second provider I've worked with
    Sep 06, 2023
    First visit w/ Dr Dobry as my other doctor retired in June. Ive been 100% satisfied with UCSF dermatology practice and have had excellent care. Doctors are attentive/caring, explain things clearly and really take time with their patients.
