    Dr. Saylor is awesome! This is the best medical care I've received in a long time. She ( and her staff) made MOHS a weirdly pleasant experience ( and I've had multiple skin cancer surgeries). She's knowledgeable, caring and confident ( without being arrogant). I felt totally at ease. She's my skin cancer surgeon from now on!

    Better than very good for the whole experience. Six stars and I will be a returning patient.
    Apr 12, 2023
    Her explanations help me not worry about the future of the issue, and being given the back line phone number in case it showed up made me feel more positive about anything that might show up in the future.
    Apr 11, 2023
    I'm all about UCSF dermatology. Don't mind an occasional wait for high quality care.

    Excellent care and information provided on all levels. Highly recommend.
    Mar 23, 2023
    This was just a follow-up visit. The doctor looked at the incision, said it was doing well, trimmed the stitches, and that was it.
    Mar 22, 2023
    Excellent treatment
    Mar 22, 2023
    Dr. Saylor was the most skilled, attentive, caring, and confident doctor I've ever had the privilege of seeing. She was also a great communicator, asking a lot of questions, giving detailed explanations and doing so with a fun and engaging personality.
    Mar 21, 2023
    Truly amazing care provider and assistants, I felt heard and seen and really well taken care of. Would whole heartedly recommended to anyone who needed a similar procedure
    Mar 08, 2023
    I was so impressed by Dr. Saylor. I was incredibly anxious during the excision. She seemed to know exactly how much to tell me about what was happening and what to hold back. She helped me calm down by encouraging breathing, playing calming music, and suggesting I visualize a tropical vacation! She also made me feel confident in her skills and showed concern around minimizing scarring. I was so impressed by her, I wish she could be my doctor for everything!
    Mar 08, 2023
    Dr Saylor is the best!!

    Feb 24, 2023
    Dr. Saylor is one of the best doctors I've ever seen, and I have seen MANY doctors. Professional, highly skilled, friendly, patient, caring, and generous with her time.
    Feb 24, 2023
    All of the staff seems very rushed! It made me more nervous than I was already! After the procedure I called to ask about the blood at the incision site and spoke to someone who obviously wasn't there when the procedure was done and therefore couldn't answer my question. She said send us a picture. After a procedure, one does not feel well enough to do this. So, I couldn't. All of this I attribute to the staff being rushed!. UC please provide more staff so patients can feel more at ease. Otherwise care was good!
    Feb 24, 2023
    There could have been more of an explanation about how swollen my face would appear after the surgery and how big the scar would be. I knew it would be larger than the lesion, but it was a bit of a shock to actually see how large it was. I know I will get more information when I return to have the stitches removed, but this is a difficult waiting time. Pictures of patients 3 and 6 months surgery would be helpful. The service and empathy that I received from the total staff couldn't have been better.
    Feb 22, 2023
    Dr Saylor and the entire practice exceeded all expectations
