Dr. Mallika Dhawan, MD 1825 4th Street, San Francisco, CA 94158

"Dr. Dhawan is a world-class oncologist that provides deeply knowledgeable and empathic care. She has gone the extra mile to answer any and all questions with candor and clarity, offering insightful assessments and guidance. I live very close to Stanford but have chosen to travel to UCSF so that Dr. Dhawan can be my personal oncologist. As an example of her thorough patient management, she referred me to 4 oncology specialists for detailed screening and monitoring to supplement her own subspecialty. I could not be more pleased. As a Stanford Ph.D., I am particularly "picky" about the healthcare professionals to whom I entrust my family's care. With this in mind, I am writing my one and only Google posting to unreservedly recommend Dr. Dhawan to anyone in need of expert cancer management."

"I don’t understand how the doctors can be so cruel and heartless. They hardly know their patients on more that vital stats level. They don’t know their temperament, their life, their family structure. Dr Dhawan was my brother in laws clinical trial oncologist. We went through agonising time waiting for her schedule phone call. She would called and simply say sorry for the delay. A good doctor should have a compassionate heart and put patients wellness above anything. She didn’t do that. When our trial failed, she played God and told my brother-in-law he had less than a year to live. She told him to write letters and pack presents for his children. Not everybody wants to do that!!! That day she crushed his soul and he believed her and somehow decided to prepare himself to say good bye to his family. Despite having great blood work and scan, my bother-in-law lost his battle to cancer. When my brother-in-law had an appointment 10 days prior to his death, these doctors couldn’t tell him he would be gone soon. So please please don’t play God! You are not and Dr Dhawan literally crushed and forced my BIL to get detached and prepare to bid farewell. So Dr Dhawan, know your patient, know their temperament before sealing their fate. Wish we had never met her."
