Chapman's clinical research focuses on enhancing surgical and preoperative processes to ensure that all gynecologic cancer patients at UCSF receive safe, superior care. With her expertise in computational genomics, she also collaborates with UCSF cancer researchers to better understand the genetic vulnerabilities in gynecologic cancer and to use them for targeted therapies.

    Dr. Chapman could not have been more caring and compassionate! I was actually surprised by the feeling of comfort and genuine attention to how I was feeling and what I wanted for my care. Even though I hadn't seen her for many years she had taken the time to review what had happened previously. She gave me a hug Hello and goodbye and that is honestly the first time that has ever happened in a doctors visit and it touched me deeply. I feel in really good hands and I'm very thankful. So glad to have this opportunity to give her and all the staff the highest rating possible! They all deserve a 10!

    I feel so fortunate to have been treated by an outstanding compassionate surgeon. Our follow up zoom meeting couldn't have been better if we had been in the same room. The meeting gave me time to prepare questions in advance and have them close by so I could refer to them easily. Likewise I could take notes during the meeting. At no time did I feel rushed but I came away from the meeting feeling like all my questions were important and that my health was important

    Dr. Jocelyn Chapman is amazing. I am incredibly grateful to her care during my journey through cancer, from the diagnosis to the follow-up. She is warm, caring, incredibly skillful and brilliant as a clinician. My recovery from surgery was seamless. I thoroughly enjoyed my visits with her, and will miss seeing her, though of course I am happy to be cancer-free. UCSF is lucky to have a clinician as amazing as Dr Chapman.
