Ira D. Sharlip

Doctor thought that my prior antibiotic treatment resulted in my symptoms subsiding but I said no such thing (prescribed at an urgent care elsewhere). My symptoms didn't change at all after treatment.Doctor Sharlip did not seem to want to listen to my issues or dive into what I've been experiencing. He seemed to imply I am having problems because I'm drinking too much water but maybe I misinterpreted that. For FOUR MONTHS I don't think I've had a single instance where I didn't feel either pain or a very uncomfortable urge to pee and he did not seem to sympathize with that at all.

Excellent doctor.

Honest

The doctor was great but I would never recommend UCSF.

Good

I spent the whole 10 minute phone call convincing Dr. Sharlip to listen to me and actually order tests. He eventually did so but it took a lot of effort. I did not feel listened to as throughout the whole call he kept downplaying the severity of my main symptom. And because he spent the whole call downplaying my main symptom he didn't even ask about other symptoms on the phone call which there were and I had to communicate about afterwards by calling in since UCSF Mychart had not registered me as his patient yet. Honestly this was one of the worst doctor appointments I have ever had and I have had a lot in my life.

The reason I rated likelihood of your recommending this care provider to others as Very Poor isn't because of the doctor. I was very happy with the doctor. I wouldn't recommend this provider because of the difficulty getting an appointment.

Awesome
