      Dr. Fox gave me the clearest explanation of the various ointments/creams that I use for psoriasis and where to use each and when to switch to a cream - wrote out the steps for me which was very helpful

      Dr. Fox is friendly, professional and extremely thorough in my follow-up exam. She also took time to discover and freeze another minor face growth. UCSF is the best!

      Wait was frustrating but the doctor's thoroughness was impeccable.
