    I am in awe of Dr. Holt!

    Dr. Holt is an outstanding and caring clinician. She is the first physician who has ever used my academic title of "doctor" to address me (I have a PhD and I am a professor in the School of Nursing at UCSF). If I knew nothing else about Dr. Holt, the fact that she extended me this courtesy when no other physician I have ever met has done so, spoke volumes to me. I'm not hung up on titles, but I do appreciate the message she was trying to convey: that she respected my knowledge and was treating me as a fellow clinician (I'm a primary care NP). She was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. I had asked around to come of my colleagues if they had heard of Dr. Holt, but because she only joined UCSF Health recently, nobody had hear of her yet. All I can say is that UCSF is lucky to have a physician and scientist of her caliber, and I feel in excellent hands in her care. She has been helping me coordinate surgery to remove half of my thyroid due to a multinodular goiter and has provided me with the absolute best, evidence-based information. I will recommend her to my colleagues and to patients who need endocrine care.
