    I was referred to Dr. Mehrdad from oncology to try to solve an issue I'm experiencing. There were some blood tests taken before our Zoom visit that would give him a chance to see if he could help. It turns out rheumatology isn't the answer but Dr Mehrdad still spent additional time with me discussing other possible options. I really appreciate his friendly attitude and desire to help.

    Dr. Matloubian is by far one of the best if not THE best doctor. He listens, offers opinions, learned knowledge, and concern. He is sincere when he says to let him know about my symptoms. He responds same day.

    Dr. Matloubian explained everything perfectly and made me so relaxed and confident in his care. He really is in the perfect profession and UCSF is extremely lucky to have him. I went into his office in pain and scared and walked out feeling better and that things were going to be okay. I cannot say enough about him. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
