    About our process

    Dr. Jumper is an excellent communicator, he led the discussion thoughtfully, slowly explained my diagnosis in detail that was also understandable, and answered all of our questions. I left the call thinking UCSF must be a world class facility with some of the best health care professionals available. I work in healthcare, and have experience with a fair amount of cardiologists and interventional radiologist/neurologists..I can confidently say Dr. Jumper has world class bedside manner, just from my short teleconference with him. My family and I are excited to be cared for by him and his team.

    I aw 4 different people for 4 different reasons; every person was efficient, friendly and clear with explanations. I had lab work done (long wait), a CT (very quick), and MRI (quick), and saw Dr. Hervey-Jumper (wonderful, as usual).

    I believe the provider is very qualified in terms of his technical knowledge; however, he did not explain in layman's terms without being prodded to do so and even then referred us back to our referring provider. I came away not knowing very much about the results of a passst procedure or how a surgical procedure would be conducted.
