Dr. Baehner and his assistant Aaron were fantastic. They made this visit about as pleasant as it could be. I came on a Friday as a walk-in and was there less than an hour total. They helped to put my mind at ease before and during the procedure. I was pretty nervous coming here and their bedside manor was incredible. They talked through everything with me prior to the biopsy. They took the time to explain everything again as they were doing it. Before the bandage was even applied Dr. Baehner was under the microscope assessing my samples and was able to give me his preliminary thoughts on what he was seeing. These guys are true professionals of the highest level. Thank...read full review
This is probably single handedly the best experience I’ve had in healthcare to date
I was able to walk into the clinic without an appointment and get a biopsy done within an hour of arrival

In addition, the doctor was amazing and had excellent bedside manner
I’ll be setting up a recurring donation to UCSF based on this experience

Which is what I was finding at many other places, including the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic. Set up an appointment within a couple days of first calling...read full review
