UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay

It’s so unfair that some people rated UCSF less than 5 stars. I can tell if you are dealing with serious problem, UCSF can really do miracle. They have the best team. Dr. Tempero (oncologist) her assistant Ana, and Dr. Anwar (radiologist) are very knowledgeable, helpful and caring.

I am newly pregnant and work across the street from UCSF. I reached out to them to set up an apt. with OBGYN and begin my care. I have to say the hospital is too large for it’s own good. I see lots of great reviews on the technology but it seems they should also concentrate on hiring enough staff. I am high risk pregnancy and could not see an OBGYN for 5 weeks after my first call. It took over a week for my OBGYN to respond to my concerns and when she did she was not helpful and only directing me to another useless UCSF professional. Since then when I have a question or need help I have been passed around to one person or another promising follow up and that I would hear back and of course getting no follow up. I spoke to urgent care nurses who promised to set things up and get back to me and did nothing. No one gets back to you. When I went to see the OBGYN I had to tell her the tests I had done with UCSF. She did not review my chart or anything. The staff does not communicate or review your records. This is definitely NOT top care and very disconcerting. My experience with UCSF was extremely frustrating and stressful. Super disappointing from and institution that is supposed to be recognized for some of the best care. Luckily I won’t be having my child in this hospital from the reviews I have read and am early enough along to get a proper doctor outside of this facility.

I’m sure in a few years we’ll look back and be amazed that it once looked desolate, patchy and unpopulated, much like we used to think of SOMA from the Ferry Building to Main Street.
But, when I step onto the windblown MIssion Bay campus now, it’s soul deadening: You can see few people walking around and it’s just a giant construction zone with scores of projects going up. I don’t think any of the buildings are more than 4 years old.
It’s also annoying that there’s absolutely no street parking to take advantage of: you must park in the (pricey) paid lots.
Allegedly, there are transit hubs for CalTrain and the subway but I have a feeling if you work at Mission Bay, there are a great many folks on the hook for expensive parking.

i am one of the UCSF patient and i just had baby this year on july, and i had horrible experience, my baby almost die cause of them ,
after the birth i barely talk and move i was under anesthesia and i am all cover blood, and they didn’t clean me, i asked they saying no you do it, and they were not checking on my baby or see his wight also, i kept telling them my baby is not eating, he doesn’t get enough Malik also i feel my breast does not develop malik enough for him, the reply ok and walk away
after i discharge from the hospital i had to admit the hospital the next day again cause my baby is dying from dehydration and hot temperature can you believe that, that UCSF with good reputation do such things
I CAME TO UCSF TO HAVE GOOD SERVICE FOR ME AND FOR MY BABY, ON THE END I GOT THIS EXPERIENCE … :((, i reported more than once but i feel they are not doing anything regarding my problem cause i asked to let me know, i haven’t heard from them, until now
please to every women be careful you don’t want to experience that
thank you

I cannot thank UCSF enough. My daughter was sent to UCSF when she was 1 day old. She stayed in the intensive care unit for a little more than 2 months, Basically UCSF saved my daughters life. Me & my boyfriend are young parents & not 1 of the doctors would be rude to us because we were young. They made sure we understood everything that was going to happen with my daughter. The only complaint i have is about 1 of the night nurses in the ICN his name is T. He is very rude & judged us based upon our age. Overall my daughter had 2 surgeries & is great now! All thanks to UCSF!!!

UCSF Mission Bay is a wonderful hospital dedicated to exquisite care for children!

UCSF behaves like a cowboy in the wild wild west, thinking that all lands in SF belongs to them. They claim that Warriors will generate traffic and people can’t park to see them. How do people do when they have to go to UCSF when 101 is congested? Take an helicopter?
Oh. Benn there for a spinal cord injury. I was suggested to get unnecessary surgery. I went to CPMC, after all. and BTW. patients at UCSF have to pay to park in UCSF parkings. So, it was all lies from a greedy corporation, donors and overpaid union members.

The facility is 4 months old and has fully automated rooms (bed-​controlled lights, 60 inch tvs, etc), it’s the hospital equivalent of a 5 star hotel, but they NEED TO VET THEIR STAFF!
Doctors are excellent, day shift is excellent, their hand offs to night shift are a bit sloppy (I had one night nurse trying to push fluids up a drainage tube)
The discharge is when things began to go terribly, horribly wrong:
I can’t prove it, but I’m absolutely certain one of the staff stole a 700 dollar smart phone from me (in my bag 2 minutes before, gone by the time I get to the car?!), completely cutting me off from all contact and screwing over my medical supply delivery and home nursing, and mind you I was given temporary ostomy and had huge incisions on my torso!
Inquiries into this resulted in internal «investigation» which was profunctory at best and likely never actually happened at all. As this phone was employer issued, I then had to spend hours going through a reporting structure while doped up on pain meds, then had to rush to a local wal-​mart to buy a cheap stand-​in while a new handset far inferior to my previous model was placed on procurement.
Keep a death grip on your electronics when it comes time to leave and refuse signature on the possessions paperwork until you are sitting in your ride home!
