    About our process

    Outstanding provider - very knowledgeable, good listener, involved us In decisions with which we were very happy (and my wife and I are both physicians!). We came away from the video visit with a better understanding of the issues, a good plan for future management, and a feeling of great reassurance.

    He is an AMAZING doctor!! Exceedingly kind, patient, knowledgeable. Took the time to explain things methodically, answered myriad questions, and has a great sense of humor. Feel truly blessed - Difficult to find good doctors - he's a gem.

    Dr. Lamprea Montealegre is a first rate surgeon at UCSF. He performed my umbilical surgery one year ago, and will now take of my bilateral inguinal hernias. I couldn't be more pleased.

    Dr. Lamprea had carefully reviewed all the data from my recent hospitalization in LA. He took a detailed history and did a careful physical exam. We discussed treatment options. He provided his opinion, with explanations. He listened! I was very impressed. Note: I am a cardiologist myself.

    Exceptional care from Dr. Lamprea. Very thorough explanations. He had reviewed all my test results from other providers prior to the appointment

    The doctor allowed me to call my wife (who could not attend in person) so she could listen in. He also expressed his apology for UCSF regarding the confusion about the echocardiogram explaining the people answering the phones outside the clinic may have thought I meant the ekg. He went to ask his team if they could fit me in same day and they agreed. It was very nice considering the distance I need to travel. I appreciated the effort.
