Care Compliments

Dr Aldave is truly one of a kind. His CV and list of publications, as well as his training of dozens of interns and associates to take superior knowledge back to their practices and home countries, is stellar. Sometimes physicians with this sort of expertise and experience have a personality better suited to work in research or with staff rather than with patients. But Dr. Aldave is also uniquely gifted to make connections with patients on a human level, so one feels not only heard but also listened to concerning eye symptoms. I have been seeing him regularly for several years for checkups and maintenance and recently a procedure he performed was swift and seemingly almost effortless, with no complications. He supplies feedback and has his information always at the ready; also offers followup if needed, and corrects any misinformation you may harbor. All the things you would expect and need from a well trained, "good doctor." It goes without saying that patients being treated for eye conditions need to feel at ease with and trust the doctor "touching their eyeballs" and he is definitely the all around correct person for this job. He just gives you his all. UCLA does well to count him among its physicians.

I feel I have excellent care from all of my doctors at UCLA. My primary care doctor, Michael Estee is great, but I must give kudos to Dr. Karim Chamie who has provided excellent care for me.

Dr Finn took on my cancer treatment with a new clinical trial after I had been given the "there is nothing we can do except to treat your cancer with quality of life medications" speech from another cancer doctor. Dr Finn has been nothing but an inspiration and healing angel since taking on my cancer treatment a year and a half ago. He enthusiastically met with me and accepted me onto his clinical trial on very short notice and made sure I was able to participate in an upcoming trial that started 1 week from my first visit with him. Since being treated, I have seen remarkable improvements in my condition. He is up front, meticulous, kind, empathetic, and always very considerate. Thank you so much Dr. Finn! We are so blessed to have you as our doctor.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Sovich and saw how she communicated and helped my patient and the family with so much compassion and care. She provided the highest quality of care and educated the patient in such a way that helped them arrive at a decision that best benefits the patient. She has a heart of gold and I want to let her know how she's doing such a great job!

Dr. Francy Shu has been my Neurologist since fall of 2019. She is knowledgeable, very intelligent, compassionate, fully engaged and willing to look at your illness from all angles. Dr. Shu is a great listener and answers any questions that you may have. She ordered and performed the tests that confirmed my diagnosis and we have a solid plan of care, which is state of the art. That is a big deal to me because I could not seem to get that done in San Diego, despite 3 years, multiple doctor visits, and increasing pain.

I am so fortunate to have found Dr. Shu and I am happy to travel to UCLA for such excellent care, I am also grateful for being able to tele-visit.. Brittany, Dr. Shu's coordinator, is exceptional and compassionate as well. I highly recommend UCLA Neurology and Dr. Francy Shu.

I was impressed by Dr Gorn's detailed review of years of care I received in order to put together a plan of care for me. I'm very grateful for his thorough evaluation of my On going condition and valuable help.

The most incredible webinar I have ever attended. It speaks volumes to the effort UCLA put forward in informing the patients. The quality of Physicians on the staff. I appreciate being kept informed of information on products that I use over the counter.

Mithun was incredibly efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly during my time in the ICU. He helped me get a first grasp on my new diabetes diagnosis and even managed to do my first night of regular blood glucose and other tests with so little trouble that I was able to go right back to sleep each time.

Roberto was an amazing care provider whose heart and passion really showed his heart in caring for the sick. In addition, he was compassionate and comforting during my toughest suffering and wiped my tears as he soothed me with calming words. I so appreciated his willingness to pray for me when I asked and his words of encouragement really lifted my spirits. His dedication and passion really shines thru. He was also efficient and thoughtful with his showers in keeping me covered and warm and even blew dry my hair! Just an amazing person and care provider that made my hospitalization so much more uplifting. I can't say enough about Robert!

By: Ellen S.

Thank you Nurse Robert. During the PET Scan Dotatate, a exam that I had never had done before, in a moment of great fragility and uncertainty you were kind and took the time to explain everything about the procedure. You made me fell safe and welcome. (sorry that I did not get your last name).
