Dr.Burkenroad, my hematologist is probably one of the finest doctors. He has the best bedside manner and you could tell he really cares about his patience and he’s very young so I know he’s gonna have a lifetime of good things happening to him in his doctrine. He is an excellent doctor And I feel like I’m in very good hands 100% thank you very much UCLA.
