      The doctor is clearly very knowledgeable, but does not help patient understand big picture in regards to their care, for ex. What all options there are, understanding implications of various treatments, etc. Doctor seems in a hurry (this may not be her fault at all, she is very busy) More time discussing treatment options and theor potential outcomes would be very helpful.

      Dr Mahadevan has been my go-to consulting GI. Great suggestions, this past video visit's conversations gave me great relief (mental!!) in her information and assessments.

    Please check with your health insurance plan regarding coverage for this type of care. Not all providers at UCSF Health are covered by every insurance plan.
