    I feel that explanations of my skin condition and possible spread were not discussed but rather quickly passed over with little assurance as to future growth of the skin area in question.

    Dr.Resneck was excellent. He came in right away told me he had just read my chart which assured me he was completely familiar with my current medical situation he spent time answering my questions was reassuring while did my full body evaluation that everything looked okay. He put my fears at ease with every thing he said. I really like his pleasant demeanor and confident knowledge of his field. He is a terrific doctor.

    May 31, 2022
    I felt very rushed. The doctor was efficient but I didn't feel like I could get all of the questions I had about the symptoms and treatment.

    Sympathtic and impressive physician
    Oct 20, 2021
    Again the doctor appeared to be rushed. There was no explanation of causes of the disease. I assume it was too minor for him to spend time on because of the rush.
    Sep 23, 2021
    I was rushed out. I did mention to the Dr that I haven't seen a dermatologist for many many years and I was hoping a check up but I we only discussed one issue and I was rushed at the door. I probably was in the room with the doctor about 4 minutes.
    Sep 22, 2021
    Excellent care was provided by Dr.Resneck!!

    Dr. Fox and Dr. Resneck are the best. 13 year patient
    Sep 15, 2021
    The doctor is excellent in every way.
    Sep 13, 2021
    It was my first appointment with Dr Resneck and he spent more time reviewing my file and I felt he was not as engaging in person and really didn't spend that time. Basically said we will figure this out did the biopsy and left. I showed him the photos of the progression of different blisters and rashes which I had chronicled to date.
    Sep 13, 2021
    Dr. Jack Resneck is terrific. He's knowledgeable and friendly and patient and kind.
    Aug 20, 2021
    Very quick - no time for me to talk about my concerns. He couldn't wait to get out to his computer more than addressing my concerns. I felt very rushed. I had to run out with my gown to get him to come back in to look at something. Felt very ignored and not attended to. Then he wrote a whole bunch of things on his notes that HE DID NOT do. TheN I got charged over a thousand dollars for a 5 minute appt. NOT ACCEPTABLE
    Jun 26, 2021
    Friendly informative thorough easy to talk to excellent "bedside manner."
    Jun 09, 2021
    very good experience!
    Jun 06, 2021
    Dr Resneck is always great. Carefully explains what is going on answers my questions and a very nice person.
    May 26, 2021
    Very clear instructions and very professional interaction.
    May 22, 2021
    I felt too rushed to comprehend a new diagnosis of a serious illness. The treatment options were not adequately described in terms of side effects efficacy and alternative or complementary options. no patient handouts and no suggestions of additional UCSF resources. unlike when I was treated for breast cancer.
    May 14, 2021
    I feel like my appt was really rushed this time. I did not feel like that last time. I was in and out of the office in less than 10 minutes which I felt was unfortunate. Once again I did not feel like that on my first visit. I got the time I needed.
    May 05, 2021
    Dr Resneck is a great dermatologist. He listens to my comments and questions and explains his decisions. very good experience
