    Dr. Tinajero has been my favorite thus far at UCSF. If I get pregnant again, I will go to her for all my care.

    I was so impressed with Dr. Tinajero and ALL staff I encountered. They were are so efficient, friendly and skilled from check-in in the morning, to pre surgical staff, to procedure and aftercare. Thanks for making my procedure so easy!!

    Overall the visit went well. However, the provider told me she would come back to me to propose a date for the surgery. She said it was quite urgent, and should probably done in the first half of April. It has been more than a week and she has not come back to me...Good experience: visitBad experience: follow up - the provider probably doesn't care that much about my health

    Dr. Tinajero had a kind, professional, and upbeat, bedside manner. I've been experiencing some difficult complications with my pregnancy and she was very empathetic about it, but also made me feel confident that she was there to help me with whatever would come next.

    Dr. Tinajero is incredible, she's one of the best women's health doctors I've ever seen. She really takes the time to explain everything thoroughly and makes me feel like she sees me as a whole person, not just a 15 min slot in her day.

    My Dr. Is very professional and caring. She diagnosed my condition where it had been missed by other providers in the past. Has a great bedside manner and very knowledgeable with my condition and concerns. Follow up are to begin further teatment.

    I've seen 3 different providers during this pregnancy and Dr Tinajero is by far the most thorough and has shown concerns for any questions I've had. Explanations have been clear and provided with sincerity and kindness. She's excellent!!

    Dr. Lopez Tinajero was wonderful. I came from having a very bad experience getting my IUD put in, and knew that the removal would be complicated. Dr. Lopez Tinajero was so patient with me and made sure I consented for every part of the procedure. I could tell that she put my needs and wants first and that made me feel in control. I could actually feel that she cared about how I was feeling and cared about me having a good experience. I will definitely be coming to Dr. Lopez Tinajero for future appointments and recommending her to others.
