    About our process

    Dr Sayre was thoroughly familiar with all aspects of my medical condition, obviously very knowledgeable and experienced, provided very convincing details that verified the information I had received from previous medical staff, briefed me on options and treatment details that I had not heard previously, was very kind, considerate and caring. He is a very impressive asset of UCSF medical expertise; I learned a great deal and felt very comfortable with what he said and advised, and gives me confidence that I am receiving exceptional care for my condition and goals.

    Dr. Sayer is an extraordinarily good listener and communicator-he's gifted at translating medical treatments into digestible outcomes, then listening to my concerns and helping me make decisions. He's positive and upbeat, which I find reassuring. What he doesn't know, he defers to those he respects and brings those approaches into his protocol to give me the absolute best possible outcome. I couldn't ask for a better thought partner to make important decisions about my care.

    I have been Dr. Sayre's patient for over 16 years. The outstanding feature of this relationship is that he treats me as a whole person, not just focused on oncology. He reads through my current health issues with other providers, and we discuss.
