Dr Hill-Sakurai addressed my issues competently and professionally. Her suggestion always makes good sense to me. Her knowledge of medicine is amazing. Besides she doesn't miss a detail.

I really, really appreciate that Dr. Hill-Sakurai takes a "whole body" view of my situation and looks at not just the individual issue I'm following up on that day - considering how it all fits together.

I have so much respect and gratitude for Dr. Hill-Sakurai. When changes in my insurance coverage made it possible, I was grateful to be able to get back into the Doctor's care. She treats me like a whole body, and considers how the parts work together (or sometimes don't). She has worked with me on several issues were not straight forward. She is just terrific at looking for things from all angles. When she can't deal with something, she refers me to the right UCSF specialty. I can't say enough about how great she is. I feel very lucky I have her as my primary doctor.

Dr. Hill-Sakurai researched my inquiry and was very prepared to discuss it. We also discussed other current issues I was having and she was very helpful in providing suggestions and support.
