    Dr Fassett was outstanding! She was friendly, caring, knowledgeable and professional. It was a very positive experience because I felt very comfortable with her. She answered all my questions, described my issue in simple understandable terms and treated my condition with great care and compassion.

    Dr Fasset goes above and beyond what is generally considered excellent. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about her field of study/practice, she is a wonderful human being. She is caring, personable, thorough, and so good natured. Both my husband and I feel lucky to have her as our doctor.

    Attending physician was very professional, friendly and informative.
    Jun 23, 2024
    The doctor thoroughly explained the options I had with both the positive and negative reasons for each choice
    Jun 17, 2024
    The full body exam didn't feel as thorough compared to other ones I have gotten before. Previous providers took their time, even looked at my ears and scalp, this was probably less than a minute and not as thorough as I would have liked.

    This provider listens and show care and compassion towards patient's concerns. It also seems that she feels the burden that the patient's family is carrying.

    I was a new patient for Dr. Fassett but I felt like I had been seeing her for years. She checked my record and was very informed of my medical history. She was also great to work with, upbeat and friendly.

    Wish the doctors were not so rushed by UCSF & could focus on the patient vs the clock
    Jun 23, 2023
    Best provider I've had so far at UCSF Dermatology

    Forgot the main point of after the assessment, which was to take a biopsy.

    Dr Fassett is an amazingly compassionate and friendly physician, who knows her patients well and truly cares about them
    Apr 16, 2023
    DrFasset seemed rushed today. In prior visits, she has explained everything very well. This time, explanations were too fast and less detailed.
    Apr 14, 2023
    Dr. Fassett is so knowledgeable and helpful!I have already recommended her to my husband and another close friend.
    Apr 14, 2023
    Late waited 90 minutes past appointment time to be seen, wrote wrong prescription, did not send correct instructions to pharmacy which caused coverage complications, did not respond to urgent messages until four days later, no way to contact directly and only through mychart. Very very poor customer experience for first time visit to UCSF, would not recommend.
    Apr 14, 2023
    The conversations we had on the subject of possible causes and treatment of symptoms was cogent and sympathetic, if brief (follow up visit was about 15 minutes). The conversation was so abbreviated, however, that I didn't realize the appointment was over, at the end. The doctor walked out the door without a clear wrap-up.
    Mar 26, 2023
    So far Dr. Marilyn Hassett has exceeded my hopes.

    Dr Faster is wonderful
    Jan 13, 2023
    Dr Fassett was an amazing doctor! She listened and answered all of my questions. She was very knowledgeable and patient, waiting to be sure that I didn't have any more questions. She was caring and concerned as she preformed minor surgery. Overall I'd say she was outstanding!!! Very good doctor.
