      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.

    Please check with your health insurance plan regarding coverage for this type of care. Not all providers at UCSF Health are covered by every insurance plan.
