    Dr Jon Eichelberger is about as world-class a GP as anyone could hope for. As soon as I met him, I knew I wanted him as my primary for as long as he'd have me. Absolutely excellent in both knowledge and bedside manner.

    Dr. Jon Eichelberger was familiar with my chart and past interactions with UCSF, and offered timely and practical advice to me throughout our visit.
    May 21, 2024
    Capable but seems a bit more interested in telling me what he thinks without wanting to hear what I have to say.

    Nov 24, 2023
    Most excellent doctor- we discussed all of the above and I got helpful information and will be following up with him on progress.
    Nov 17, 2023
    The provider gave me an accurate information regarding endometriosis. I also felt that the provider was condescending and didn't listen to the breadth of my symptoms. I would not like to have him as a provider again.
    Oct 27, 2023

    Jun 01, 2023
    Spent lots of time with me. Very productive.
    May 31, 2023
    Dr E seemed concerned about my health issues and prescribed the necessary tests. The visit took longer than expected, yet he was willing to go into his lunch hour to cover all issues. I was quite impressed by this.
    May 19, 2023
    Dr made a comment "have you gotten skinny since the last visit? No you have not" which seemed to be un necessary
    May 13, 2023
    Good
    May 09, 2023
    Referring to Eichelberger, NOT the Urologist
    May 06, 2023
    Gave me the information about where to go for x-rays - didn't know if foot was broken or not
    May 03, 2023
    He's a great doctor!

    This doctor is excellent in every way. He is caring, very knowledgeable and honest. His overall attitude is positive and relaxed. He cals a spade a spade and says this is OK.
    Mar 25, 2023
    Dr Eichelberger is the best possible doctor. He is very perceptive and understanding.
    Mar 22, 2023
    Felt not listened to or understood in the visit. I came in with multiple issues to discuss, was told the visit would be 45 minutes, bit then the provider informed me during the visit we only had 20 minutes. Generally felt the provider offered canned advice without really understanding my specific situation. He veered into areas I wasnt looking for his help on and left generally upset from my appointment.
    Mar 17, 2023
    I am very fortunate to have Dr Eichelberger as my primary care physician. He is very knowledgable and understanding.
    Mar 16, 2023
    Dr. Eichelberger is a good listener, very personable, and I felt like he really cared about my overall physical and mental health. I'm glad to have him as my primary care doctor.
    Mar 15, 2023
    Greatly appreciate Dr. Eichelberger's listening skills, responsiveness, and medical knowledge and insight
    Mar 09, 2023
    I came in with a possible meniscus tear and arthritis and a knee that had meniscus surgery in 2013. The doctor suggested PT but the pain has been so bad. I can't work or do normal walking activities which I feel warrants a closer look or referral to an ortho. Physical therapy doesn't meet my getting to work timeline. I suggested prk, cortisone, MRI but he pushed PT through. Having had meniscus surgery before, I'm not sure that his evidence-based opinion serves me well. I would like a second opinion at Laurel village my provider
    Mar 03, 2023
    Very respectful Dr. He really listens
    Mar 03, 2023
    Maybe things have changed but my provider did effectively no physical exam. He spoke with me (hard to get a word in), but that was about it.
    Mar 03, 2023
    Dr Eichelberger listens carefully, spends time explaining options and treatment plan and answers all questions. Feels as if you're the only one he needs to talk to-no feeling of rushing off to the next patient!
    Feb 26, 2023
    An excellent doctor!
    Feb 26, 2023
    I feel very comfortable with discussing my health, medical history and treatment options with Dr. Eichelberger, he medical knowledge is current and I believe he is compassionate about his practice.
    Feb 22, 2023
    The doctor took the time to explain my test results and eased my concern and anxiety over the results. I appreciated the clear communication and care he showed during my visit.
    Feb 19, 2023
    I was the last patient of the day. The MD spent extra time with me, when he didn't have to.
    Feb 18, 2023
    Dr. Eichelberger is an excellent caregiver. He takes his time and listens. I feel my health is in good hands under his care.
    Feb 16, 2023
    Friendly doctor, though I didn't like that he was ready to prescribe blood pressure meds without trying alternatives until I asked for it. I would have like him to offer the alternatives first.Also it felt like my worries about the effects of the Moderna Covid vaccine were brushed aside a bit.
    Feb 10, 2023
    Great doctor thank you
    Feb 10, 2023
    I felt rushed as there was a time limit on the visit. There were not any suggested treatment plans, referrals, or further tests to run on my pain
    Feb 08, 2023
    Dr. Eichelberger is an excellent PCP!
    Feb 02, 2023
    First time seeing this physician and I was completely satisfied with his care.
    Jan 28, 2023
    I would certainly recommend the doctors and nurses, but not the clinic it self
    Jan 26, 2023
    Dr. E was great, he explains things well, is patient, and even better he has a sense of humor.
    Jan 25, 2023
    Provider has true concern and compassion for the patients well being! Would recommend to anybody!
    Jan 12, 2023
    The dr was excellent, experienced, hands on and a great listener. Absolutely fantastic
    Dec 29, 2022
    I have the greatest respect for Dr. Eichelberger and completely trust his care for me.
    Dec 29, 2022
    I am a big fan of UCSF - my wife is an ICU nurse and I've had good experiences with my doctors in the past. However, I had a very disappointing experience with this particular doctor. He mischaracterized my symptoms during my visit - I was clear that I had stomach issues only, but he kept saying I was constipated. More frustratingly, I can't schedule an appointment with my GI doctor because they are still waiting a response from him to confirm whether I need just an upper endoscopy or an upper endoscopy and a colonoscopy. It's been several weeks and he has not responded, despite me making multiple calls to the office. This has a been a very frustrating experience.
    Dec 16, 2022
    Both Dr. Jon and the Nurse in my view, close to perfect.
    Dec 10, 2022
    It's wast time, the care provider never listened me he is so arrogant, it's not a person I want see again He doesn't listened me about my questions or about what I really want it's worst doctor I saw on all my life I really appreciate if I have my care provider appointment soon because really I wasted my time
    Dec 01, 2022
    Very good professional manner & vibes
    Nov 18, 2022
    All eyes on screens at all times
