    Dr. Crocitto was extremely thorough and detailed about what she was looking for, what my symptoms and tests might indicate and what the process is for checking and following up. She didn't dumb it down or treat anything dismissively - she just explained it so I could understand it so much better. I am extremely impressed.

    Dr. Ctocitto was very good. She explained thing clearly, listened to question and explained how we would proceed with treatment. Before she left she went back over the next steps of care.

    Dr. Crocitto has been wonderful as have all of her "team."
    Mar 11, 2023
    For the first time since being diagnosed with prostate cancer I felt as if I had a doctor that was genuinely invested in determining the exact nature of the condition, the risk assessment and coming to an Informed treatment plan. When we parted Dr. Crocitto looked at me and said, " We will figure this out. I got you." I cannot express fully how meaningful that was to me.

    I came to UCSF a long ways based on the institution's reputation. The Dr was very patient and explained ALL my choices to treat my cancer. After dealing for months of what I would describe as a fairly horrible experience with a local urologist ( luckily I have a WONDERFUL primary care Dr!) she was such a relief! Finally I felt in good hands!

    Not satisfied with the Initial MRI scheduling where Ucsf has low priority in scheduling BPH patients.
