UCSF Helen Diller Medical Center at Parnassus Heights

While I don't enjoy having to see doctors so often (thanks to chronic illness), I always enjoy the view form the campus though.

3+hours, still waiting! @ Emergency room. We are the only asian in Er, mostly nurse and doctor kept passing by and no one tried to help. The nurse who initially helps my sister left for the day. Very frustrating. The male nurse who I asked for help was very rude. He said nothing he can do. We just have to wait. No compassion.!

Referred to UCSF by UC DAVIS with Acute Myeloid leukemia with only a very small chance of survival after one year. Within one month they found me a bone marrow donor and within 3 months I received my transplant. I spent 2 months in the hospital across the street and another 2 months in assisted care provided by UCSF. It’s now been almost a year since my transplant and my leukemia is in complete remission. Dr. Logan and his team of doctors did an amazing job. I can’t thank them enough for saving me from this nightmare.

On vacation away from home, chest tightness with exertion meant the only decision was what hospital to immediately head to. Being in San Francisco, the clear conclusion was UCSF by far. It's reputation is stellar, but it exceeded expectations. Within a day I was stabilized, catheterized, stented, and comfortable. All the staff were exceedingly capable and effective while simultaneously interacting very person-ably. There are only a handful of top-tier health centers in this country and UCSF for cardiology certainly qualifies within the highest ranks! There is no substitute for placing yourself, during those critical health crises, in the hands of the most competent people on the planet.

Parking can be a bit of a hassle sometimes
