    I am soooo thankful that Dr.Bergsland is my consulting physician. I live about 5 hours from San Francisco, and to be able to connect to her at UCSF is such a blessing to me. All of the other care partners I have spoken with at UCSF relative to my diagnosis of Neuroendocrine Cancer have been so wonderful. Thank you soooo much for all that wonderful care and concern, kindness and compassion we - the patients - receive from UCSF.

    Using UCSF as a backstop for my treatments at Cedar Sinai in Los Angeles has helped me in knowing that we can create a consensus of opinion, which gives me the ability to easily move forward with the recommended treatments at this point in time

    Care provider seemed distracted. It seemed as though she was simultaneously meeting with other patients. She had a Fellow participating who seemed to be more engaged but the role of the Fellow was never explained.

    This provider was not prepared for this visit. She had an intern go over my history and then discussed with the doctor. I waited 20 minutes while he brought her up to speed.

    She was thorough very methodical in her thinkingIt was very satisfying and reassuring to consult with her.
    Oct 14, 2022
    I was told that I could not be seen as a regular patient by this oncologist because I do not live in the San Francisco or the Bay Area. I have a very rare cancer that she is one of the leading experts in California in treating. I would refer to patients in the Bay Area for this type of cancer. I do not know many people in the Bay Area.
