    Dr. Eichelberger and his support staff at UCSF Laurel Village are all very good I think it is a great support team.

    Dr. Eichelberger was very attentive to my concerns and did not rush me at all. I felt like I was his only patient in the world. In terms of delays, if Dr. Eichelberger is as attentive to all of his patients I can understand why there was a slight delay before he came in the room. Best primary care doctor I have ever had. I hope he never retires.
