Care Compliments
Theresa P.
Dr. Theresa Poulos is very compassionate and an excellent listener. She gives me choices in my treatment when possible making me feel like I have control over my own health and body. She is caring and even responded to a message on a holiday weekend when it was important.

BaoTran N.
My wife and I recently delivered a perfect baby girl at UCLA and Tran was our original nurse upon admission to Labor & Delivery. My wife, myself and the various family members who met Tran during her shift cannot say enough good things about her. She advocated on behalf of my wife during several keys points and kept us informed of each step in the process of delivery. Her ability to explain some of the more complex things and her ability to make my wife and I laugh was invaluable. Upon completion of her long overnight shift, while my wife was asleep due to the morphine, Tran made it a point to come by and speak to her and hold her hand. I myself was nearly comatose with exhaustion and found that small gesture to be incredibly powerful (frankly, after working an overnight shift, I'd want to get home as soon as possible). Additionally, during our second night at there, Tran requested asked to be our nurse during the C-section and we were legitimately overjoyed to see her again. All of the medical staff at L&D were absolutely fantastic, but Tran really stood out and we are eternally grateful that she was our nurse.

I want to thank Dr. David McAllister for encouraging me to get a second opinion because he couldn't help me with my right rotator's cuff tear. I followed his advice ad received surgery at La Peer surgical center by Dr. Eric Millistein in Bevetly Hills. Everything went excellent. Thank you Dr.McAllister for your advice.

Jason S.
Dr. Jason Sherman is my primary care doctor and through an annual exam, we discovered a hole in my heart. I worked with many wonderful UCLA doctors in getting a procedure done to get it fixed and Dr. Sherman was my steady rock throughout the process. I had several complications after the procedure and he was always there to support me in whatever I needed. One night I ended up at Urgent Care then had to go to the ER and Dr. Sherman was answering my emails after 5-6pm and I remember feeling so grateful he took the time to be there for me.
I desperately needed to get in to see a gynocologist due to one of the complications (I had an appointment that was three months out) and Dr. Sherman sent emails and had his office call repeatedly on my behalf until I got in. I truly appreciate the amazing care from UCLA and want to acknowledge Dr. Sherman for being a fantastic doctor.

Jennifer Y.
I have been a patient of Dr. Jennifer Yeung's for nearly 13 years. She is the absolute best. She and her office staff are quick to respond to questions, help with insurance issues, and provide wonderful care. I appreciate knowing I have a doctor who is kind and accessible. This is how medicine should be.

Daniel G.
My husband was referred to Dr. Daniel Greenwald by a nurse colleague of mine (I am also a nurse) who became familiar with him during her sister's care (yes, Santa Barbara is a small town!) We had been experiencing less than optimal care by an area oncologist, so we were reserved and fairly traumatized going in for our first consult.
Dr. Greenwald is compassionate, friendly, and very up-to-date on the latest treatment modalities for my husband's cancer type. Of course, I was lurking around with my nurse hat on making sure that we weren't going to have the same type of bungling as previously experienced, and Dr. Greenwald put my mind at ease within the first 5 minutes of treatment discussion. However, just as important was the rapport he established with my husband...he spoke plain language, laid out the plan, and provided realistic amounts of truthful reassurance...they even spoke about wood and furniture building (my husband is a local General Contractor) as a way of bonding on a personal level.
All of our following visits have been something we look forward to rather than dread. We leave with a clear understanding of where things are at as well as an expected plan if things go bad. We can't express enough how valuable he is to us, as well as to our community. Thank you so much for the gift that he is.

Corinna M.
I love Dr. Corinna Mosher! I followed her from her private practice over to the UCLA Health System. She is thorough and always welcomes my questions. I was excited to see her highlighted in the latest issue of the UCLA magazine - she deserves the "shout out"! I want to wish her a happy Dr. Appreciation Day!

Fedirico V.
I live in Utah and was referred to Dr. Federico Velez. He is the kindest physician I have known in my lifetime and I am 71 years old. He offered to see me on a weekend if I could not drive in from Utah during the week. I texted him on a Saturday afternoon after my surgery and he answered me in an hour. There are not many physicians left like Dr. Velez, unfortunately.

You have changed my life with the Botox injections in my bladder! You always make me feel comfortable and are so caring and personable. I am so glad I came to a seminar you participated in several years ago and informed me that I had options for UUI. Margaret has been awesome also.

Nazanin G.
Dr. Nazanin Gunn saved me from a mental health crisis last August. I sent her a message through the portal, and she responded right away and gave me an appointment to see her that day. She was compassionate, and understanding, and helped get me through it. She made me feel like I wasn't alone. I will always be thankful to her for that day.
