Dr. Gaensler is the best! She cares about me as a patient and as a person. She listens to my concerns and, if an answer to my issue is not easy, she investigates and gets back to me.

Dr. Gaensler was very thorough in reviewing my medical issues/treatment prior to our meeting and discussing current and future treatment. I was very impressed with how thorough and professional she was. I feel fortunate to have her on my UCSF Team.
