    Garry Michelman is one of the best doctors I have ever seen and his office is the best run medical office I have ever seen. UCSF would be wise to send your staff to learn from Gary's office how to improve how your other offices are run.

    I felt engaged and listened to by my cardio-team. I appreciate that they know that what seems routine and typical for them(since cardiac care is what they do) might be disturbing to me and they took steps to inform and reassure me about my condition and its ongoing status. I felt they realized the impact that my medication was having on my life and did what they could to make that better.

    Dr. Milechman is a unique doctor and person. Not only he listened carefully for my complaints, but he spent a lot of time reviewing my records from another facility, explained in great detail the course of treatments, discussed his recommendations for my life style change, including diet, exercises. He was very kind, thoughtful, respectful. I only wish other doctors were like him.
