    My provider told me I was "all over the map" with my issues and was a bit curt. He mentioned he did not have a lot of time to devote to me. He seemed preoccupied with the time and or distracted.

    Dr. Potter is great! The problem is with the wait to get seen by specialist--in particular dermatology where they wouldn't even schedule an appointmen for me! UCSF needs to hire more physicians!
