Patient Reviews
Jan 17, 2024
This man pretty much helped raise me he’s an amazing doctor. He cared for me for 20 years and also cared for my mother who passed away later from cancer being her doctor and helped him diagnose and treat me which really made a difference. during the Covid situation I no longer see he’s working at Ucsf and now they won’t let me come back as a patient so I miss him terribly and I’m not sure what I’m gonna do about my current health that has gotten worse. Love you Dr Ostroff sincerely Kimberly Springer
