Lisa Kasalajtis MD

She was a nice enough Dr and seemed competent enough, I really liked her as a person. Took over the practice I had been going to for my entire life, then just left. Scrambled to find someone to replace her. Really felt abandoned by her, she just up and left without any warning. I hope she works out her family issues but even if she comes back, I’m not so sure I would switch back.

So sad she left San Fran!!! :(

Ridiculously good doctor, quite possibly the best i’ve ever had. I know that i’m gonna miss having her in SF as she’s moving to Wisconsin, but I wish her the best.

One of the best doctors I’ve ever gone to. Listens to your problems and concerns and helps find a solution. Explains everything you need to know and doesn’t quickly jump to conclusions. Remembers who you are and is able to relate to any medical problems you’ve had in the past to what you currently have.
It’s a shame to see her go from SF, but wish her the best of luck.

My experiences with Dr. Kasalajitis so far have been nothing but positive. She listens to what I have to say, doesn’t rush me through the appointment, and knows her stuff. I like that she tries a basic approach first. Also, SF Internal Med is great for not keeping people sitting in the waiting room all day. They are busy, but there’s not a lot of waiting or overbooking. I can’t respond to what Cathy T said because I haven’t been in the hospital (fortunately), but I haven’t seen a «cold» or indifferent side to this Dr.

I agree 100% with Amber; Dr. Kasalajitis has been a great Doc. She listens carefully, gives well considered advice, is personable, and above all has a very pragmatic approach. I always feel like I can make a well informed decision on my healthcare when I visit Dr. Kasalajtis. (a little BTW for Cathy, doctors often discuss matters about patients. Its the most important way they tap into the collective knowledge of the industry.).

Wow. I would disagree completely about the nice things written about Dr. Kasalajtis, giving her one star is frusterating — for sure. I was super sick, in the hospital and she was super cold — not only to me but my family. She was excellent in the office but once I was in the ICU she was a disaster, she did not even show up for the first critical 2 days nor did she respond to several ICU Dr. s pages. I was shocked to say the least once I heard this (I was in a comma so I did not learn this until I woke up)
When I was released she was bitter cold and had unreasonable expectations of what I should do when I got home — I asked her simple questions to make sure we were going down the right path and she got really PIST that I had questions.
A few days later I ended up in the ER again and per my endocrinologist’s request, went to Saint Mary’s instead of St. Francis and got her husband as my ER Dr. He knew my name right away as she had talked about me and my case at home! He admitted this when I asked him (he suspiciously knew a lot about my failing health) He was super sweet but WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO DR. PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY?
Unbelievable.

Dr. Kasalajtis (pronounced Kas-​UH-​ly-​tis) is the greatest. She is personable and professional and has excellent bedside manner. She is also incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable; not to mention her husband is also an ER doctor, which means she is doubly knowledgeable.
Her office staff is also really nice and accomodating.
