    Dr. Gary Milechman has such a kind yet inspired way of dealing with patients, nonjudgmental, thinks expansively, understands life and very well versed in many subjects. He's a great teacher and clinician with patients. I left feeling motivated by him to continue the program. I think my positive transference to him keeps me alive. I see him twice a year. I'm old, don't break this relationship up can't go on much longer. Thank you

    Heather Miyashira and Dr. Milechman are fantastic clinicians. I'm slightly sorry Dr. M is reducing his practice so I must get to know a new cardiologist but am confident all will go well. I am thankful I have had the opportunity to receive care from Dr. M and wish him the best for his future.

    Garry Michelman is one of the best doctors I have ever seen and his office is the best run medical office I have ever seen. UCSF would be wise to send your staff to learn from Gary's office how to improve how your other offices are run.

    There should be an Outstanding rating in your survey regarding Dr. Milechman's care. He is a brilliant cardiologist who listens attentively, discusses/explains issues thoroughly and in detail, is clearly concerned about his patients and, as importantly, is fine man.

    I felt engaged and listened to by my cardio-team. I appreciate that they know that what seems routine and typical for them(since cardiac care is what they do) might be disturbing to me and they took steps to inform and reassure me about my condition and its ongoing status. I felt they realized the impact that my medication was having on my life and did what they could to make that better.
