In patients' words

"UCSF understaffs and has very small windows for patient provider scheduled time slots. This puts providers behind schedule and likely results in decreased quality of care. I have regularly experienced wait times > than 30 minutes past appointment time."

Birdeye User Review

"Went for a routine annual physical, they snuck in an additional 200$ (after insurance) office visit charge just for discussing medical concerns."

Birdeye User Review

"Just went to a primary care physician, Dr. Emilie Richie, for the first time. I can't say enough great things about my experience! I know it's hard to believe a doctor could run on time, but..."
