    Dr. Kobashi is the best doctor I have ever had in my (75 years old) life. He is patient, supportive and attentive, and he unerringly asks additional questions that help me add missing details or other information I may have omitted. And he is brilliant--far and away The Best. UCSF - don't you dare let anyone hire him away!

    As a physician I can confidently say that Brent Kobashi exemplifies all the best qualities of a healer. He is up-to-date and well-informed, listens well, provides considered guidance while providing a rational discussion of alternative approaches and shows warmth and kindness. A truly unique and special provider. I feel blessed to have him as my family's primary provider.
