    Really appreciate Dr Mansh's bed side manner and respect. He asked if I wanted a chaperone and checked in to get consent from me while keeping me informed every part of the visit. I felt very safe and comfortable.

    Oct 16, 2024
    Dr. Mansh asked questions about my health and helped me feel at ease by providing options for treatments. One thing I wish I would have known ahead of time was that the appointment time was limited to the focus of my referral for hair loss. I appreciate that Dr. Mansh made clear it would be possible to discuss questions in more depth at the follow up.

    He was very professional, knowledgeable and personable.
    Jul 13, 2024
    He seemed very rushed. Usually when I see a new provider, I am met with at least a slight smile and an little introduction such as "hi I'm Dr. Xyz...". Perhaps because he seemed so rushed, this was noticeably absent and I felt almost as if he already disliked me before he even talked to me or asked me anything about myself. I wrecked my brain when I left, trying to figure out whether I had done or said something wrong, or that set him off, but when I thought more about it and thought about how rushed he seemed, I decided that it had nothing to do with me. If I have been wrong here, I trust and encourage UCSF to please notify me.

    I have hope and confidence that the next care steps will help me with my lifelong condition that is painful and unsightly.

    This is my first time meeting with Dr. Mensh, and I found him to be extremely competent, friendly and communicative. He suggested some creams that have never been prescribed before for me and explained to me how they were to be applied and where. I found the entire appointment very satisfying.
