      Dr. Ewing is SUPERB. UCSF is very fortunate to count her among the super-surgeon category of MD providers. My husband and I feel so lucky to have met her and to know her and receive the absolute top-notch level of care.

      I was extremely impressed with Dr. Ewing's compassion and her down-to-earth attitude. Although I was only looking for a second opinion, I have now chosen UCSF for my treatments. That Is how much confidence she gave me. I left our zoom appointment feeling better than I have since I first received the diagnosis.

    Please check with your health insurance plan regarding coverage for this type of care. Not all providers at UCSF Health are covered by every insurance plan.
