    Dr. Pascual is very attentive, caring, and analytical. She confirmed that the route of a proposed surgical intervention is the best course of action to improve ambulatory function.

    Dr. Pascual is great. She is smart, invested in improving the lives of those of us, who have had a spinal cord injury and very kind. I can't imagine a better Doctor or person! I made many appointments with P, M and R Doctors before I found Dr Pascual. Every other P, M & R Doc (Physical Medicine and Rehab) Doc at UCSF practices pain medicine. Dr. Pascual is the only one practicing rehab. In the three years I have been seeing her, she has been moved three times (St Luke's, SFGH and now Berkeley). We have been able to manage with zoom meetings so her location hasn't been a problem. Please reward her for her competence and dedication and tell the operators where she is, so those of us who need a real P, M & R can find her!

    Dr. Pasqual was the best. She listened to me and gave me a couple possible problems. She will contact my other provider to discuss any possible solutions and then get a hold of me to come back to see her

    My appointment with Dr. Pascual was very thorough and wide ranging. I felt she provided outstanding attention and proposals for improving my walking abilities with my prosthetic leg

    Excellent doctor! She is very thorough in her approach to problems and listens carefully to the patient. It is obvious that she cares about her patients. I am very grateful to be one of her patients.
