Michael Waul, MD

Dr. Waul is smart, professional, and easy to talk to

Excellent care. Provider asked permission to do exams, procedures, etc; very respectful-as was the entire staff.

Dr. Waul was very attentive, thorough, and kind. I felt very heard in my appointment, all thought processes and options were explained to me. Dr. Waul was also very conscious and up front about billing and made good use of our time together (office t use of time, while still not making me feel rushed at any point). Beyond the admin efficiency and friendliness, Dr. Waul demonstrated a high level of understanding and medical skill during the appointment. I was grateful to receive this level of care.

Dr. Waul is probably one of the best assets UCSF Health has in terms of knowledge, bedside manners and ability to reassure patients they are in the best place and very capable hands.

Dr. Michael Waul was so kind and professional as he examined me and recommended treatment options. I felt comfortable in explaining to him a current health condition of mine and asked if he would refer me to UCSF primary care. He was most happy to do so, and I am very grateful to him for our conversation and his understanding, as well as his follow-up.

Everything went smoothly. I got a prescription. I'm I'm I'm going to be using.

Dr. Waul is an excellent communicator, and listener. He always takes the time to explain what he is doing and why. He is so skilled at the procedures. Due to my age and health issues I have had many of these dermo surgical procedures. I never feel the needle going in, he always gets just the right amount of numbing medicine (not so with providers in the past! ) and he is very detail oriented. He does a complete exam but also considers what I have to say about things changing and looking different. We feel lucky to have him on our health team. My husband was also very pleased and impressed.

There wasn't much the provider could do for me but he was kind.

Dr. Wahl is the best.

Very professional and very friendly doctor. Helped me with the issues I had and provided me enough information. Was very patient. Would definitely recommend!

Really positive experience. ThAnk you

Best dermatologist that I've ever had.

I just recommended someone to Dr. Wahl last night! He has helped me so much with scars, skin problems and recently in this visit he took a biopsy of the mole on my nose which he was keeping an eye on over the past year. I was nervous and he carefully explained what was in the injection and why and it was completely painless. I feel taken care of and he is friendly and personable.

Care provider promised a referral but so far, I haven't heard about one ...

He is that rare combination of professionalism and human warmth

I feel very fortunate being able to have Dr. Waul as my doctor. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, figured out the problems quickly, and offered treatments that resolved the problems.

Loved the doctor but worried about if the wait time was because of him or the office or other patients.

One of the best physicians I've ever seen. Kind, caring, patient and very communicative.

Dr. Waul was very professional and friendly.

He was lovely.

My regular dermatologist referred me to UCSF. I was pleased to receive an appointment with Dr. Michael A. Waul who was very kind and took time to examine and explain my condition, and then to prescribe treatment medications. I would have no hesitation in recommending both Dr. Waul and UCSF Dermatology Clinic.

Superb experience.

Listened to me, believed the history I gave him, and genuinely collaborated with me on decisions like whether to biopsy and choosing biopsy sites. He also consulted with another provider on the biopsy decision, which I also appreciated (I'm so grateful for humility in doctors). Also gave me detailed explanations at a prior visit of why he originally thought my facial rash was most likely rosacea, e.g., inclusion of the nasolabial folds and the periods of disappearance, that helped me recognize later, as I later developed daily fevers and the rash became permanent and started sparing the nasolabial folds during the fevers, that it might not be rosacea after all and that I should come back for follow-up and more evaluation. The biopsy results are still outstanding, but he might be the one who diagnoses the whole systemic disease. Smart, collaborative, kind, detailed. And he did a nice job on the biopsy stitches. Pay him more.

He is very skillfull at doing biopsies so there is no pain at the time or after the appointment.

Good

Dr. Waul is wonderful! I am so thankful I found him. He is kind and really listened to me. He also spent a lot of time with me. He was not rushed. He included my concerns into our decision making process on treatment for my skin.

My problems were technical

Dr Wahl is he best
