Selecting a primary care provider at UCSF Medical Center

In order to offer UC employees more primary care options, UCSF Medical Center and UCSF Medical Group recently expanded primary care access. 

One option for employees is Primary Care at Laurel Village, located on the second floor of the building at 3490 California Street, Suite 200. This has the goal of making primary care more personal and accessible. The new practice, headed by pediatrician David Buchholz, MD, offers same-day appointments for urgent medical needs and uses technology to make the practice more efficient.  Through MyHealth, UCSF’s patient portal, patients can make appointments, communicate with their doctor and request prescription refills.

For more information about Primary Care at Laurel Village or to make an appointment, call 415/514-6200 or visit the website Primary Care at Laurel Village.
