    He made no effort to treat me for issue I came in for. He just put the issue for next visit. This is unfair and wrong as no appointments are available for next visit and there was no point for me to come in. I told him I would not be able to get another appointment soon to address the issue I came to see him about and he did not care and said it was the receptionists issue. I am very upset and wish a different provider had seen me. I hope I never have to choose UCSF again as they do not want to treat anyone.

    Again a VERY good experience. The best I have had with any UCSF provider and also better than what I get at One Medical.

    Dr. Gurrola is the best. He's informed smart and a good listener. I trust him as a care provider 100%.

    I think Dr. Gurrola is probably the best doctor I've ever had. Ultimately I was pleased with the results of the surgery but even prior to that I liked the way he explained what was going on and what my options were. He's also a very personable doctor and I felt that he was always engaged during our appointments.

    Dr Gurrola is always very friendly and listens to all my concerns. I feel very comfortable with him and the issues I'm having .

    This was my first experience with Dr. Gurrola for a consultation of a sinus issue which he rapidly diagnosed and gave me my available options. I am no novice to a doctors office after having 5 surgeries and an average of 3 doctors appointments a year for various issues I have met my fair share of providers. That being said I can say with great confidence that his level of attention to detail ability to connect with his patient and professionalism were all far above what I have received/come to expect from ANY of my healthcare providers. I will be highly recommending him for rhinology issues any of my friends or family have but I wish he was a family practitioner so he could be my primary care provider!
