    Sep 16, 2024
    She was running late and rushed a little, but she listened to the history I gave her and got it right in her note in a very short amount of time, an exceptional experience compared to other doctors. She is also clearly current on the literature. I was impressed. That said, I think that first appointments need to be longer to cut down on the chance of mistakes.

    Dr Haemal is a credit to UCSF. She is the equal of the very best that Ihave encountered in 60+ years ofedical professionals.
    May 01, 2024
    Provider rushed and preoccupied. Seems to want to be rid of me to get to next patient she is late for. Waited over one hour to be seen. More interested in teaching medical student than being present for my experiences and concerns. Always late by several weeks providing case notes that may help me understand my current condition. Too busy to answer my questions. Doesn't take the time to analyze and explore my unique symptoms and situation. Unprepared for my diagnosis. Doesn't have a good grasp of case history. Leads to patient having little confidence/hope of getting better or finding a reasonable tolerable treatment plan.
    Apr 26, 2024

    Apr 17, 2024
    While the care provider is excellent, the wait time is not worth it. Also, we did not discuss specifics about my condition, side effects of a new prescription, or any time for any questions.

    I think Dr. Haemal is an excellent dermatologist and a good physician. I feel very comfortable with her and clearly I value her care because I travel over 20 miles one way in order to see her and I wait for months to schedule my appointments. She is appropriately personable and caring.

    Mar 07, 2024
    After being seen super late, my appt was super rushed once she got the skin scraping and said what it was and what we needed to do. I didn't get a chance to ask any questions or many words in. She talked super fast and when I was ready to move on to my next concern, she said, only if it was really quick.
    Mar 07, 2024

    Nov 22, 2023
    Dr Haemel really cares about me as a person, and is extremely thorough in answering my questions and reviewing my treatment. Sometimes she talks/moves query quickly and I'm not sure whether I was able to capture everything. Overall, I am very devoted to Dr Haemel as my provider, and I wish it were easier to schedule/coordinate with her clinic and that her clinic ran on time.

    Oct 26, 2023
    It looks like that the provider has no experience or never encountered the diagnosis that I have. She can't explained to me properly what's going on.

    Sep 28, 2023
    Found Dr Haemel to be competent and easy to communicate with.
    Sep 20, 2023
    One of the reasons that I go to UCSF Dermatology is because the faculty stays up on current research on a variety of things that were affecting my care and were able to quickly articulate any side effects of any of the medication's. I was currently taking. You can't get that in a community hospital. Or clinic
    Sep 17, 2023
    Dr. Haemel is the very best of the best!
    Sep 06, 2023
    Dr Haemel is far better than Very Good, 5. She's a 10!
    Aug 30, 2023
    Dr Haemel is fantastic. She is the one who figured out that I have Myositis. She always takes the extra time to find out everything that's going on with not only my myositis but with the rest of my body and how I'm feeling mentally. Every interaction I've had with Dr. Haemel had been positive and has had a positive impact on my health and wellbeing
    Aug 26, 2023

    Aug 15, 2023
    While this provider is excellent, it's exasperating to arrive on time and have to wait an hour to be seen!!!
    Aug 11, 2023
    Dr Hamel is an exceptional physician. She is extremely knowledgeable, very thorough and quite caring. The only downside is that it is very difficult to get an appointment due to the current shortage of dermatologists at UCSF.
    Jul 26, 2023
    The doctor seemed well intentioned, but very limited as to what she could say, or do about providing treatment for me. She spent most of her time, looking at a screen, offering pharmaceutical options, and very little of her own thought seem to go into what was actually causing my issues. I felt like it was sitting with a Tele doctor who's only option was to offer temporary relief from various pharmaceuticals, without solution or explanation of my condition.
    Jul 20, 2023
    Dr. Haemel is the best
    Jul 19, 2023
    All excellent though she couldn't diagnose me yet but will recommend more tests and follow up
    Jun 27, 2023

    Jun 22, 2023
    Dr Haemel is a lifesaver! She's an extremely intelligent problem solver and figured out what no one else has been able to. And she's empathetic and kind and includes me in decision making. I'm extremely grateful for her.
    Jun 21, 2023
    A few more minutes of time with the Doctor would be nice.
    Jun 15, 2023
    I have found in my unfortunate experience in the healthcare system that the central provider can be extraordinarily good, but the people and staff that surround her are not.I just met some of her support staff and I'm hoping over time they will become more likable. But I have very little doubt that although my disease is very rare, she will have the tools needed to help me as best she can.
    Jun 14, 2023
    Dr Haemel always gives excellent care and concern. She is thorough with exams and is caring and concerned. She spends time explaining everything and is always clear about after care treatment at home.
