Dr. Valery Uhl, MD

Dr. Uhl was on time for my consult. She shows you an excellent video about radiation oncology the first 15 minutes of the 1.5 hour consult. I knew nothing about breast radiation so I found the video very informative and gave it an A+. She then customizes her recommendation for your particular cancer. It turns out some women don't even need radiation! Others, like me, can have all the radiation done in minutes in the OR as the cancer is being removed. Dr. Uhl comes to the OR and works with the breast surgeon. They are a team and individualize the treatment. I felt in excellent hands and have done very well with no skin redness or burn. I am very grateful to Dr. Uhl and my breast surgeon for offering this amazing breast cancer treatment option.

She was late by greater than 60 minutes to each appt. or didn’t bother showing up at all to 3 scheduled appts. without notice. Not ok. Showing a video during an appt should not be billable medical services. It’s available online. She talks incessantly. I would time her. Impressive. She’s go for a solid 30 without stopping. Wow. I found her painfully condescending. I burned horribly with long lasting consequences. Of course, she never knew because she couldn’t be bothered to show up. That’s not good care. There are other providers.

I came to see Dr. Uhl about my breast cancer and was scared. She gave me lots of time and showed me a great video about Radiation and how it works. She then customized the national breast cancer guideline booklet for me and gave me my copy. She answered all my questions and took care of every worry before I left. I left relieved and know I am in excellent hands. THANK YOU DR. UHL!!!

Great doctor. She really cares and is very thorough. I love seeing her for my follow up visits. I leave these visits feeling healthy and cancer free.

Dr. Uhl spends time with you and answers your questions. She has an amazing team of support staff who work with her at her Pleasant Hill office off of Taylor Blvd. Beautiful office and very efficient and the folks are so caring. Dr. Uhl practices cutting edge cancer treatment and goes over all your options. I know I am in excellent hands with her.

I had prostate cancer and was told by my physician to see Dr. Uhl because she is the best. She educated me and my wife about prostate cancer and gave us a wonderful booklet and customized it for me. We decided to have her treat me and I am still cancer free over 5 years later. My PSA dropped to below 1 and has been there ever since her radiation treatments. She is an excellent physician and always has time for her patients. I strongly recommend her.

She is both brilliant and compassionate. She spent a lot of time with me, explained procedures and side effects in detail, always arrived with a big, enthusiastic smile and lots of energy. One of the best doctors I have encountered.

I saw Dr. Uhl years ago for a right breast cancer and she cured me of that one. Now I have a totally different kind of cancer and I went to Summit Medical Center in Oakland to see her. I was treated by her in the past elsewhere and I wanted her as my doctor again. She is worth travelling for; even over a bridge and through a tunnel. Get a second opinion from her-she gives you time and answers your questions. She is very nice too.

I had prostate cancer and only saw a urologist 3 years ago. I had a robotic prostatectomy and my prostate cancer came back within a year. My accountant told me to see Dr. Uhl and I had an excellent review of my particular prostate cancer and then all the treatment options were discussed. I ended up having radiation since the surgery failed and now my PSA is back to undetectable. I wish I had seen Dr. Uhl when I was first diagnosed with prostate cancer.
