    I hope to go to him for the rest of my life. One of the best providers I've ever had. Promote him and give him a huge raise, but pls let me have him as my provider forever. He was clear, friendly, caring, quick, explanatory, and thorough. Can't say enough positive things.

    Dr Arakaki is fantastic. Feel so lucky to have him as my dermatology provider. Excellent listener and communicator. Super friendly and easy to talk to.. This visit was my annuall, but he saw something that he recommended be biopsied and was able to squeeze It In during the visit so I didn't have to come back. Biopsy was so fast and painless as well!Again, I feel so lucky to have him as my provider!!

    All care providers at UCSF are under some imposed time pressures in terms of how many patients they see in a given period of minutes or hours determined by the administration. Care providers don't have the authority to change those limits unless an unforeseen situation arises. While I understand the need for some accountability, these restrictions have negative outcomes for both the patient and caregiver. Less regulations, please. More awareness of each flexible situation. The administration needs some courses in kindness.
    Feb 11, 2023
