Dr Kusari is very careful and thorough. He has an exceptionally fine hand with injections so one doesn't even feel them.

The doctor was efficient, attentive, well informed, focused on the issue quickly, and came up with recommendations for follow up treatment. Even looked online for locations in our area that might provide it. Scheduled for a month out for return visit.

Dr. Kusari is the best doctor I've seen at UCSF. He is kind and takes the time to listen to my concerns. I always feel better after my visit with him. I wish all doctors were like him.

Dr Kusari is an excellent Dr. I trust him with my care/well being and wouldn't hesitate in recommending others to him. Dr Kusari listens to questions and what I have to say. I understand he is pressed with time but he does an excellent job & willing to listen and spend time to address questions/concern. I wish my primary Dr is the same.
