    I think that Dr. Pamela Ling is fantastic, and I am so grateful for her care. She is efficient, but not at the expense of making me feel rushed or that I haven't been heard. She is also super knowledgeable and a great communicator. I left the office completely satisfied that all of my concerns had been fully addressed.

    Dr. Ling is a superb, very caring physician. She provides an exceptionally high level of care to her patients. Once I was able to actually see Dr. Ling, she resolved everything from A. To Z completely in a single video visit. The only problem I had was the process for trying to convey to the staff that I was really quite sick and needed to see Dr. Ling ASAP. Since I have never in my 20 years at UCSF needed an ASAP appointment, I was really surprised how difficult it was to get one.

    I had exceptional care by Dr. Pamela Ling. She asked me questions about my health that prompted me to share about my health goals and needs. Dr. Ling's care made me feel safe, comfortable, and reassured in establishing my future needs of care specifically in the area of women's health. I have limited experience with primary care physicians but this was by far the most positive experience i've had during preventive care/ check up appointment.

    Dr. Ling has been my primary care provider/internist for 20 years. She is an exceptional physician - caring, knowledgeable, up-to-date, personable. Readily available and promptly replies to messages. Follows up on and integrates any medical care I've received outside of UCSF. I always feel better after seeing her, and more motivated to work extra hard to take care of my health.
