    Too many labs were ordered. Some not even necessary. HIV test when I'm not at risk at my age and have been with same partner for over 20 years. Also a thyroid test when I'm monitored by a specialist outside of ucsf. Seems to be purely for profit and and of not a bit helpful to my health.

    I deeply respect my new doctor's professionalism efficiency and his ability to make his patients feel immediately safe. Words can't express my gratitude for being able to be under his care.

    This was a waste of time I did not Have a chance To inquire about my concerns he said what he you wanted to say. It sounded to me like going for maintenance on your car and I'm talking to the service writer up front Not to Technician And the service writer is reading what's required at what mileage from my own owner's manual

    Dr. Hearst is always very attentive to me. He addresses my concerns my tests my need for follow up and or additional care needed. He provides a comfortable situation to deal with my personal medical needs and treatments. Always looks for other ongoing treatments or visits pending and other health providers.
