    I will recommend Dr. Scharschmidt going forward and I asked her if it would be okay for me to see her on an as-needed basis especially given that Dr. Resneck might not be as available, etc. She was very nice and indicated this would be fine and would happy to see me. Again - very much appreciated. Professional, attentive and respectful. Also very friendly and down-to-earth. :)

    I think there must have been a burden of patients for the doctor. She has always been attentive. This time she seemed rushed. It is perhaps true that my concerns for developments on my skin were the result of too much worry.

    Dr. Scharschmidt is probably one of the best doctors that I have met at UCSF. She shows a genuine concern for the patient. She listens and responds to questions and concerns. She is an example of professionalism.

    The doctor was very informative letting me know that my cellulitis could benefit from cortisone injections around the belly button. I felt helpful for the first time in months and so hopefully this will flatten belly button from previous surgery last year with a tummy tuck.
