As a hospitalist and board certified internal medicine physician at UCSF, Dr. Josh Ronen likes to say his job is to catch the patients before they fall or “crash.”

In his role as a nocturnist at UCSF Medical Center, he evaluates ER patients for admission and serves as the primary physician for patients who are already admitted to the hospital. As a hospital medicine attending and Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine at the UCSF School of Medicine, Dr. Ronen enjoys teaching and offering his unique perspectives knowing no one in medicine has the same training experience.

During difficult discussions with patients’ families, some of Dr. Ronen’s many strengths are his candor and honesty. Knowing families will remember these conversations forever, he wants them to know he’s listening and treats them as he would his own family.

ABOUT MEET THE DOCTOR

The purpose of the Meet the Doctor podcast is simple. We want you to get to know your doctor before meeting them in person because you’re making a life changing decision and time is scarce. The more you can learn about who your doctor is before you meet them, the better that first meeting will be.

When you head into an important appointment more informed and better educated, you are able to have a richer, more specific conversation about the procedures and treatments you’re interested in. There’s no substitute for an in-person appointment, but we hope this comes close.

Meet The Doctor is a production of The Axis.
Made with love in Austin, Texas.
