David M Jablons, MD

Dr Jablons was the invisible man before and after my wife's surgery. It took 3 days to get him to see her after surgery, and then he stayed 3-4 minutes. He refused to call us back several timers after that. Apparently it was more important for him to jet over to China than to discuss my wife's chances of survival.

Dr. David Jablons is absolutely the best ! I often teased him that he was the "2 minute doctor" for appointments - however, in his defense -- UCSF clinic is a very busy place where patient time is limited. Also -- his 2 minutes were more valuable that other doctors 20 minutes - due to his high level of competency, knowledge and skill --- also a great sense of humor -- caustic wit - I would recommend him to anyone in need of a lung surgeon as he is simply stated -- the best!

He was excellent in making sure our family knew exactly what went on during the surgery, the outcome, problems patient had after surgery and what patient would do for followup care in our hometown. He spent a lot of time with us, never rushing us and wanted us to be sure we understood everything. All the Doctors who worked with him before and after patient's surgery were so caring; excellent care by all.

This doctor has not bedside manner. He is so full of himself, I think his success has gone to his head. Both times we went there he spent 5 minutes with us, left the room never to return. He is a arrogant know it all. We traveled a distance , my husband very ill and got absolutely NO help.

Dr. Jablons is an amazing surgeon. His knowledge of Mesothilioma is outstanding! We were so fortunate to get him to do my mom's surgery. He gave us more time with her. I will forever be in his dept!
