FOR VISITING PATIENTS

Our office is located in the heart of San Francisco, in the beautiful Union Square area. There are numerous hotels, restaurants, boutiques, and department stores within a block or two. San Francisco's famed cable car is a block away, ready to whisk you off to Fisherman's Wharf and Ghirardelli Square, and the theater district is easy walking distance.

Airports

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) – www.flysfo.com – is about 15 miles south of the city. Another option is Oakland International Airport (OAK) – www.oaklandairport.com – not as convenient since it is about 20 miles from San Francisco, however sometimes less expensive flights can be found into Oakland.
For people with business or people they know in Silicon Valley, San Jose International (SJC) – www.sjc.org – is also an option.

The San Francisco Bay Area's rapid transit/subway system, called BART, has service from both SFO and Oakland airports (see bart.gov). There is a BART station right in the International Terminal at SFO. From the Oakland airport, you have to take a shuttle to the BART station. See the BART and airport Web sites for more information.

In San Francisco, there are two BART stations, each about three blocks away from Union Square.
