As a new patient with severe osteoporosis Dr. Shoback has been amazing. She is kind, concerned and thorough in her review of my issues. Together we came up with a plan to address my issues.You could not find a more informed physician.

I was so impressed with Dr. Shoback. It is rare to find a doctor that is so caring and took the time to listen to what I had to say, my concerns and discussing the various options opened to me with my osteoporosis. It meant so much to me to find someone like her. I feel I am in the best hands with her and UCSF.

Dr. Shoback is without a doubt one of the best if not the best doctor I've ever had. Her knowledge, experience, empathy, and concern for my health are attributes that are exemplary and to be honored. I wish more doctors were like her. She is by far the VERY BEST!!
