    Dr. Carlos is the model of what a Doctor should be. Dr. Carlos has always maintained and monitored my treatment, I have no doubt that, even though he must be busy, Dr. Carlos has helped me by caring for me as a person, not just a body part. He's monitored my treatment and explained every step and option I needed to know. He has kept me from worry and for that he is a jewel.

    I frequently recommend UCSF to others. Staff always takes time to listen and is clear and compassionate in discussion. Excellent as always.

    Excellent provider

    Wasn't thorough in explaining lab results,only commented that they were trending in the right direction. I would have liked a more personalized answer to each lab result. Maybe a best scenario would've been better instead of the answer of trending in the right direction.

    No instructions to get blood tests or obtain blood pressure PRIOR TO appointment. For a useful appointment these were absolutely necessary
    Jun 25, 2023
    I think he's one of the best at UCSF. Very knowledgeable with great bedside manner. That's a tough combination for most docs
