    First appointment with Dr Bergsland and I could not be more impressed. Great communication made me feel so much better after the appointment. I have been with several doctors and never been treated with such respect and attention.

    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.

    Dr Bergsland has always communicated and treated me very well as a real human being not just a patient. She always answers all my questions and also answers questions my wife has about my condition. She is one of the most genuine doctors I have ever had!!

    I think you can not find a better provider for my cancer. She explains it all in a way that put me at ease and for me to understand why my type of treatment was chosen and administered. The follow up on this disease involves surgeons/ ct and mri's / chemo therapy and involves numerous technicians all there to help me and all under her direction of treatment. I am so lucky Thank you

    Excellent appoint with Dr. Bergsland which was my first appointment consultation with her. My local oncologist recommended meeting with Dr. Bergsland and inviting her to become a very very important physician member in my UCSF care team. I appreciated her time greatly and am most grateful she was most willing to join my UCSF care group and oversee my Neuroendocrine diagnosis. (I live about 300 miles distance from San Francisco in the Central Valley of California.)

    Dr. Bergsland is the best person in caring for my specific disease.
