      The provider was courteous and answered my questions, but the consultation felt reserved and reactive. I would have appreciated more proactive guidance and context to connect my symptoms and treatment options to my overall care plan.

      Strongly recommend Dr Shindel, with the caveat that the caller is more likely to win the lottery than get thru for an appt.

      Dr. Shindel and other clinical staff have been surprisingly prompt, thorough, supportive and friendly. Given the size and complexity of the UCSF organization I specifically noted and was Impressed by the high quality, supportiveness, and clinical thoroughness of every interaction
