    The provider is slow to respond to information and the explanation of the lab results is not clear. It is helpless for patient

    I am a somewhat difficult patient and Dr. Kim exercised a lot of patience with me!

    This was my first visit and I am from out of town. The Dr stated she preferred to keep it local meaning that her patients were local. This was not at all welcoming and I really felt pressed to continue addressing the reason for my choice rather than focus on health care.

    Due to vacations my provider was not available. The clinic physician manager was wonderful. She understood the problem I was having and took the necessary steps to help me treat a nasty wound infection.. When I used the medication I had my first localized wound improvement. I have lost 5 pounds in a week due to pain malaise and loss of appetite. Today is the first day I felt well enough to cook and eat. Thank you.

    I felt rushed and that Dr. Kim wasn't listening or letting me finish. It seemed she was reading a script. I had to interrupt a few times to get my question/point across which was difficult when I was sick.

    Dr. Kim is wonderful. I've had great interaction with all my physicians and their staff (including the Endocrinology Surgery) EXCEPT the Endocrinology Clinic itself. I've had my Endocrinology surgeon and primary care physician referring me to the Endocrinology Clinic for undiagnosed issues. Yet the Endocrinology Clinic comes up with different excuses each time why they cannot see me. Please check my record. Too long to write here. Happy to speak with you if that helps.

    Fantastic visit; Remarkable and truly caring provider; "slow medicine" was refreshing especially after last physical was so long ago

    Very caring doctor who made me feel heard and addressed all of my concerns

    I don't think this provider matches the standards of UCSF. I'm afraid to say that the provider doesn't know enough to be at UCSF. It takes her a while to understand the issue and when she understands it she doesn't know what to do next. I have seen PCPs at other hospitals such as Sutter Health and Kaiser in the past and she seems to be in the same category.

    Follow up care within UCSF is still difficult to schedule. Some follow up specialists are scheduled online. Rest need phone calls.

    The care provider was very enthusiastic and professional.
