      He answered questions from my neurologist and endocrinologist about the advisability of specific medications and suggested that I could stop having colonoscopies because of my age and my recent colonoscopy history. When I remained concerned despite the low odds he quoted of developing colon cancer in the nexg 10 years, we developed a plan for me to take a Cologuard test every other year.

      Dr. Terdiman is the best doctor I've ever had. Can someone figure out how to clone him?

      Dr Terdiman is fantastic in his listening and solving abilities. His medical judgements in my behalf have been right on! I am 26 yrs post liver transplant and thanks to his prescribing style and his judgements I am alive today! UCSF is lucky to have him on staff!!
