      I am super pleased to have them put in the care of Dr Yolanda Tinajero! She is extremely professional, but also made me feel very is with her personality and way of handling my Medical issue. She has been very attentive to all my needs, whether it be in person or through zoom or through messaging via UCSF my chart I believe it is. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon and her team. I look forward to hopefully continuing care with her as my doctor.. Thank you to UCSF

      Dr Tinajero saw me through a very concerning biopsy which had been tried before by another physician who had not been able to complete it. Dr Tinajero succeeded in getting a biopsy and in the video visit was able to interpret the (good) results for me and to recommend how to proceed in future monitoring and in future discussions with providers.

      I had a painful and vulnerable procedure performed during this visit. Dr Tinajero could not have done a better job! I am so grateful to have had such a skilled and compassionate doctor for this procedure.
