    I was so impressed with Dr. Shoback. It is rare to find a doctor that is so caring and took the time to listen to what I had to say, my concerns and discussing the various options opened to me with my osteoporosis. It meant so much to me to find someone like her. I feel I am in the best hands with her and UCSF.

    Dolores Shoback is the model of an outstanding physician in EVERY way. She is the prototype that every training clinician scientist, no matter which medical discipline, should encounter and learn from. I cannot state that enough. We have so few examples of a truly outstanding physician and it is 100% Dr Shoback.
