    As I said at the outset, Dr. Gluck and his team are unique in my UCSF experience in their accessibility, responsiveness, empathy, and their ability to make patients feel that they are human beings that someone cares about. Dr. Gluck is the reason I stick with UCSF. He's the model every physician should aspire to in terms of his knowledge of the field, his ability to communicate with patients, and his efforts to develop a health plan that is realistic and achievable by the patient.

    I didn't like the fact that Dr. Gluck reviewed my blood test results "on the fly" during the video appointment, rather than having reviewed and considered them before the video appointment.
