I had a brain MRI in early May and wanted to know the results. Since I had not heard from Dr. Souder, I assumed I did not have a brain tumor which is wonderful news! However, I didn’t want to wait until my next appointment in July to hear the results. Therefore, I contacted UCLA for an interim appointment which was then scheduled for the next working morning. Dr. Souder was pleased to see me and thoroughly explained my results. My husband and I are very pleased with Dr. Souder’s “reading” of the results. I now have two appointments scheduled before I see Dr. Sauder in July and I am a very happy patient of Dr. Sauder!

Dr. Sauder has always been an amazing Doctor. She took care of my mother so incredibly and now my sister and I both go to her. So kind, pays attention to detail, really listens and cares.
