    About our process

    Dr Monohan is a very professional & she listens to my concerns patiently.

    Although no cure or treatment can be provided for y allergy, the explanation as to why makes complete sense, and she noted in my chart why this medication must not be used in future. Sometimes it sounds better coming from a professional rather that what could be a patient being difficult and uneducated. Thank you.

    She was wonderful!! Really listened to my concerns, history and offered follow up that no other allergy doctor that I have seen. I was impressed with her willingness to do more testing. Great visit!

    I learn something new each time I talk with her. She's really good at being present and having a real, informative but also accessible/friendly discussion with me. I wish more doctors were like her because she seems to actually care about my health outcome.

    Dr Monahan took the time to listen to my concerns and provide thorough response/ explanations. I've already referred her and UCSF to many friends. The quality of care is 100x better compared to my local specialist.

    The care provider was extremely knowledgeable and had excellent listening and explanation skills.
    Oct 29, 2023
    Always impressed when providers take the time to go over my history and ensure all medications and notes are up to date, make sure I understand everything they learn from the visit and give me chances to ask questions, engage with me in problem solving, and just generally treat me with patience and respect. Like I said in the visit, I learned as much as I possibly could have from a negative test. We also carefully considered whether the percutaneous allergy test would be helpful, and I felt neither pressured to agree nor dismissed for irrelevant concerns. I feel resourced to continue my search for what is wrong with my skin.Extra grateful for being asked if I wanted to be called anything different than the name in my chart. I don't, but I feel safer with people who think to ask. You were all very kind and it makes all the difference.
