    Shared decision-making can be hard (which is the right route to go?) but it's very nice to be actively included in one's care.

    Dr Safdar is great! Took the time to listen asked all the right questions and explained things clearly. More than anything I appreciate how real he is - open funny and totally approachable.

    My visits w/ Dr. Safdar have been great. He listens is curious and is extremely helpful. I've needed a lot of followup with my visits and he's gone out of his way to accommodate my needs. UC is very lucky to have him!

    One can not evaluate from the first visit which was as an introductory visit- always fine if one is healthy

    This was a transition appointment from one PCP to another so was fairly general. I felt at ease and listened to; it went quite well.

    This was my first visit with Dr. Safdar. I felt very comfortable and at ease with him and look forward to working with him as my new PCP. He exuded genuineness compassion and real empathy.

    Feel very fortunate to have Dr. Safdar as my physician. He inquired/probed/offered theories about a number of health issues but withheld conclusions. Confident encouraging demeanor.

    Appreciated that the doctor said patients are in charge of their healthcare rather than badgering me around completing some procedures I feel uncomfortable with as my previous doctors in this clinic have done. This approach gave me a sense of agency over myself and actually encourages me to do those procedures more than the previous method of other doctors.

    I can't get an appointment with UCSF Urologist ASAP even if my family doctor informed of the Urology.
