				I enjoy meeting with my doctor. She listens to my questions and provides complete answers. She explains things clearly.

				Dr. Townes may be one of the best doctors I’ve had at UCLA.  She listens to all my concerns with patience, is very easy to talk to and always gives me enough time to ask what I need to.
