My visit with Dr. Townes was an exceptional experience. She had a great customer service manner. Even though I was her last patient for thr day, she was delightful, very engaging and took time to go through my chart history. I was ready to leave the UCLA group, but she definitely restored my confidence and decision to stay.

Dr Townes is new for me. She was patient, she listens to my concerns and she carefully reviewed my chart. We discussed my health concerns, diet and have a plan. I feel very fortunate to have been able to change to Dr Townes, after my pcp left UCLA. Very happy with today’s visit

I came to UCLA not knowing what to expect, especially when it came to finding a primary care physician. After doing some research, Dr. Townes stood out—so I took a chance. I’m so glad I did. Dr. Townes is exceptional: she’s thorough, personable, and truly takes the time to listen and care. I’m extremely happy with her care; she goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her!

Provider transfer appointment. I felt like Dr. Townes listened well to my responses and she was able to get a good idea of my state of health.
