He listens to me even when I accidentally interrupt due to the lag online. He came up with another answer for a new medication to try and always answers me back. I feel safe with him as my doctor and I have tried so many medicines and still stay positive. He said something that I think of all the time. A lot of healing comes from the brain. Keep being positive. Same belief I have. Wonderful doctor. If I were UCLA I would make sure to commend him and keep him happy so he can continue to help more people fight these diseases.
