Patient Reviews
Dec 01, 2022
We came to UCSF for surgery and acute renal issues were discovered. Dr. Ku and her team came in that same day and went all in showing tremendous expertise, and compassion to match. It was clear that Dr. Ku spent significant time on in-depth analysis developing a strategy and treatment plan. Additionally, Dr. Ku was incredibly caring and compassionate during our entire hospital stay - answering our questions patiently and thoughtfully despite her very busy patient load. I can go on and on. We have no words to express our appreciation.
