Such an incredible doctor! My PCP was not interested in finding the answer to my stomach issues; I went months afraid to leave the house basically. My friend recommended Dr. Cabansag and it was so refreshing to see how determined she was to help me get the care I needed. I'm really grateful to have her in my corner whenever I have questions or need medication updates. Their staff is equally as incredible; they always go out of their way to provide care - so thank you!

Dr Cabansag is amazing. It took me about 3 years to find her. Since being in her care she identified my condition. She started me on meds that lessened my symptoms. I've tried to keep her as my gi dr through multiple insurance changes and so far I've been lucky. If you have IBS or IBD symptoms I highly recommend her.

Everything was handled well from setting up the appointment to the post procedure office visit. Dr. Cabansag and her staff took care to be sure that I was well informed and clear about the preparation, the procedure and follow-up. Upon my arrival for the procedure, I was kept comfortable and the procedure itself was conducted without discomfort.

Dr. Cabansag, is a very kind and gentle doctor. She was a sleuth in discovering the G.I. issues that had been plaguing me for years. Two other G.I. doctors had missed it! You can put yourself at ease when you are in Dr. Cabansag hands!

Dr. Cabansag is great. She's very caring and thoughtful. I was diagnosed with rectal cancer in 2003. The doctor I had been seeing never followed up after a colonoscopy even when the prep was incomplete and another colonoscopy was needed. Dr. Cabansag gave me more tools in my toolbox to combat the chronic effects of the cancer treatment. She also ensured my colonoscopy was completed because she knew how distraught I was regarding prep. I also received a followup call and appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Cabansag

I searched for a long time for a doctor I felt comfortable with and who I felt I could trust. I don't want to have procedures that I don't need and I want things explained to me in a way that I can understand. I found all this and more with Dr. Cabansag. I am happy with her and don't need to go anywhere else. I feel fortunate to have found San Francisco Gastroenterology.

I've never been a huge fan of going to see a doctor, but Dr. Cabansag and her team (notably Ernie) changed that. They are incredibly kind and patient, and they have gone the extra 500 miles to get me the care that I need. It can be really scary and confusing when symptoms that previously never existed in your life become a reality, so I'm grateful that this team has my back. I can't imagine going anywhere else for stomach issues in the future.

Dr. Cabasag is a really excellent Dr. She is kind, considerate and has a sense of humor that helps make any gastro procedure not so bad! I was lucky to have her as a Dr. for my two-part procedure as I was very nervous and concerned about all of it. She put my mind at ease and it made a huge difference for me. Plus, her office staff are wonderful, too!

From the time I scheduled my appointment over the phone to being seen in the office, the staff was professional and attentive. I was seen on time by Dr. Cabansag. She listened and addressed all of my questions and concerns. I truly appreciated not being rushed. In fact, I referred Dr. Cabansag to two people I know, and they're now also her patients.
