Maria L. Wei

Very good from start to finish

The care provider must have been having a bad day. Bed side manor left a lot to be desired that day.

I feel lucky and blessed to be in the care of Dr Wei. Thankyou.

Dr Wei is extra special. I feel grateful to have her as my Dr. She was so reassuring as to the rarity of melanoma returning after this many years. She did a full body annual check up.

Maria Wei is an outstanding clinician, whose reputation as such proceeds her. I've found her to be a diligent diagnostician, and I have recommended her to people who ask me for my thoughts regarding which of many highly capable physicians @ UCSF to see If they've dermatology concerns, when their concerns Involve skin cancer, particularly if Melanoma is chief among those concerns due to family history et al. Maria Wei is the one physician I'd recommend without reservation.

The Best

The doctor is the best. Listens and truly cares.

Excellent! Proactive treatment on a cyst that multiple doctors over the years did not treat. I am very Impressed.

Dr Wei is great! Solved an issue my regular doctor couldn't figure out.

Extremely efficient assessment of the problematic mole, and removal via freezing.

She's fantastic your lucky she's there!!!

Excellent doctor. Explains well.

Dr Wei and Dr Patrick were very professional and made a clear diagnosis and gave me options for treatment.

Dr wei is a very knowledgeable, caring and respectful physician.

This was my very first visit to this care provider, but the visit time was limited. The care provider seemed rushing the visit, not discussing in detail about my medical condition.

I feel that the doctor did not explain my options.I do not know the severity of my skin issue, would like better explanation. I was told I have to wait a week to find out what is going on.

Best hospital in Bay Area

Dr Wei is the best!

Everything was more than good. It was excellent.

Dr. Wei id the BEST!!

Dr Maria Wei is the best. Last saw her in 2017 and on Thursday she was yet again very professional, with nice bedside manner, and very thorough.

Very impressed with Dr Wei. The experience was excellent and the patient treatment was outstanding.

Dr Wei was outstanding (as FYI, I am a former practicing physician I was extremely pleased)

THANK YOU. I am so grateful to have Dr. Wei as my dermatologist.

Dr. Wei is an excellent care provider. Explains treatment and answers questions. She is very personable and shows concern.

Excellent, the doctor explained very well everything we have to do to improve the health condition.

Dr Wei is simply the best!

My appointment started on time, the nurse and physician were amazing. I waited a long time for the appointment but it was well worth the wait.

I was told to upload my genetic test results regarding melanoma and I can't figure out where to upload them.

Dr. Wei was very friendly. She said she had requested the slides of my melanoma biopsy and would await those before deciding how to proceed. No timeline was given on when we might hear back regarding next steps.

Dr Wei is very efficient and thorough

Excellent care and expertise!

Doctor Wei was patient and clear in listening to my questions and concerns and responding completely to them. She never seemed in a rush.

Dr Maria Wei is a very special member of the UCSF derma team.

Dr Wei is excellent!

Dr. Wei was in a hurry and told me so she did not have time to give me a full body exam and that Idid not need on for another s 6 months and then as I mentioned her schedule is not open... The appointment was rushed and I am not happy with that.

Dr. Wei is caring and answers questions. An excellent physician.

It was a pleasant experience considering the stage of my melanoma.

I am so glad to have Dr. Wei as my care provider.

Dr Wie is The Best!!

Dr Wei is awesome

Dr Wei is Awesome! I've had a lot of dermatology issues and Dr. Wei has literally saved my life. She is extremely knowledgeable, great communicator and just great at what she does. I really appreciate the care given to me by Dr Wei and all of UCSF!

Dr. Wei is the BEST of the BEST!!

She was excellent!

Dr Wei is amazing seems like over scheduling her is always the issue need to schedule less patients per day always 45-1 hour wait time

I came in to see Dr Wei as my regular provider did not have appt available for awhile. After waiting for so long I was frustrated by the time the doctor came in and she was not receptive to that frustration (am sure she had a long day as well so I get it) but she made me feel even worse about being there as I came in sooner than she felt I should be getting a follow up (my regular doctor said every 6 months is fine and she felt a year was sufficient, and I came in sooner than 6 months). I think the appt just started off on the wrong foot but I felt really bad after leaving, and these appointments are stressful as it is.

Exceptional, professional and empathetic

Provider seemed pressed for time. Exam seemed more rushed than usual. Concerned that my previous health problems were not taken into account.

Maria is amazing!

Excellent, thank you!

Dr Wei was kind and considerate. It took us a minute to get our communication style down but that's to be expected. She was reassuring about my skin care.

I really like Dr. Wei. I gained additional information from her. Thank you. I like the printout with the after visit summary.

Very good

I felt that the doctor was highly competent and trusted her medical decisions. I am grateful I was able to eventually get an appointment her. However, like the assistant, she was clearly under too much time pressure to encourage questions and give thorough explanations. The experience from the check in person to the assistant to the doctor visit left me feeling the stress that they clearly feel. I wish there had been time to ask questions about the various skin conditions and about preventative care. I noticed that after visit notes had written in them that things were "discussed" with the patient that were never even mentioned. Presumably these are automatically included in every note whether or not they are actually discussed. Let me be clear that I felt that the doctor was highly competent and I'm sure if she were under less time pressure, she would have been more patient. I felt for her and the staff for having to rush like they were in some sort of race. That time pressure very at did not make for a better patient experience. Care at UCSF is expensive. I would expect the doctors and staff to have working conditions that allow them to make patients feel comfortable.

This was my first visit with this doctor and I z was very happy.

I am a continuing patient. Dr. Wei is a fantastic dermatology physician in every way. She is consistently excellent.

I was grateful to be scheduled with a care provider who was professor with impressive expertise. I believe this is the most important consideration. It was not on the above list.

She was very thorough and explained things well.

Dr, Wei is outstanding. I have a lot of serious and I'm extremely confident in her care

I'm still a bit confused about the care of the wound going forward.

Dr. Wei is a wonderful and talented melanoma specialist. I appreciate being able to see her.

Excellent in every way.

It was my first time seeing this physician. I found her condescending and curt. I do not plan to see her again.

She seemed thorough and friendly, but examined me very quickly, probably because she was running an hour late. I did not get the impression that she was distracted, and I was not particularly worried that she missed some thing.

Best melanoma clinic in California. But appointment scheduling and lateness are a big problem

Her instructions were clear and fast. I had to listen hard to remember her instructions. I just wished she paused and gave me a chance to ask questions.

Dr. Wei care makes up for the difficulties in scheduling

Health care is challenging but the care that I receive from Dr Wei is OUTSTANDING; she is both an excellent physician and human being! Thank you!

My only issue was the wait time. If UCSF is going to ask me to be 15 minutes early to my appointment then they shouldn't make me wait an additional 45 minutes. Makes no sense.

Dr Wei is an exceptional physician. Incredibly competent and efficient. She welcomes any questions and concerns you have. I never feel hurried. I have so much confidence In her. Seeing a dermatologist on an ongoing basis Is stressful; she makes It a bearable experience.

The wait time is the sole issue, but it's significant

I think Dr. Wei is an excellent doctor and she is very attentive and complete in her exams.

She was best or second bets ever.

Exceptional care. Extremely knowledgeable. Feel so fortunate to have such a dedicated professional caring for me.

Very good experience

I love Dr. Wei, I truly believe she cares about her patients.

Clear friendly and professional communication.

Very professional, efficient, caring

The meeting was delayed and everything felt hurried.

Brilliant physician and diagnostician! Extraordinarily competent, caring, compassionate, friendly, and excellent communicator!

Dr Wei spent maybe 5 minutes with me. She was obviously rushed and disinterested. My prior meetings with her were not like this. I will be looking for a new dermatologist.

She was vert professional and took extra time to explain things to us. Very personal and likable. This is the first time I have seen her and I plan to keep on seeing her as needed.

Very short visit.

Dr. Wei is great! My complaints are about the process of getting to see her.

--Dr. Wei is excellent!

Dr Wei did not listen to my original diagnosis and went on and on about how I can only take less than 5 mins of shower. She didn't listen to me, she just kept going on and on about what she thinks my needs are. I will make another appt w a different physician.

Dr. Wei is exceptional

Dr, Wei is a great doctor and needs the organization to support her work and care for her patients.She caught my cancer immediately and I had it removed. She continues to impress me with her professional and caring approach.

Didn't get exact timeline for next appointment, but usually that happens on follow up a few days later anyway

Dr. Wei is an excellent care provider.

Dr. Wei seems distracted and stressed this visit when compared to previous visits perhaps due to clinic running late.

Dr Wei is extremely knowledgeable, professional and easy to talk with

I was referred to Dr. Wei for a skin mapping procedure. She was super thorough and ended up pointing me toward genetic testing, which came to me as a surprise. She was very thorough In delving deep into my family history of all cancers. I didn't walk away knowing exactly how it would benefit me and found I was kind of piecing it together for myself. That being said, my brain is slow to process unexpected information and there were certainly follow up questions I could have asked but didn't think of at the time. I haven't gone back on the portal to ask them yet, as my visit was only a couple of days ago.

The total wait time for my appointment from the time I arrived to the time I left the office was about 2 hours. This is too long to wait for quality care.

Dr. Wei is excellent in all areas

Dr. Was very helpful and provided me with a clear plan for care

Not follow up. Awaiting two prescriptions.

One of the best dermatologist I've ever been too. She is great!

She has always been great

Given the office issues - but care is more important. Why the trade off at a Magnet hospital?

Both the resident and Dr wei were wonderful

Dr. Wei is outstanding. Her expertise and devoted care with an exceptional bedside manner is rare. I am very grateful for her attentiveness and continued care.

Provider is excellent and very thorough

Dr Wei was nice. But I wish I could have had a more careful examination of my skin. And discussion of my skin. It was a super quick view of my skin. Maybe she's that good. But I prefer informative discussions that help me feel confident going forward on prevention of cancer cells.

She was moving fast, not much time to talk. But since this was my second time seeing her, I know she's careful and attentive.

I am sure the doctor is knowledgeable and experienced, though I don't find her to be warm, relational, or interested in the health issue I'm working with, and possible solutions in treatment. She may be overworked as she's rushed and seems impatient with questions. Particularly when treatment recommendations involve side effects that feel important to discuss. So I can make informed choices about treatment that has an impact on my quality of life. She doesn't seem understanding, just busy and impatient.
