I was taken in promptly, met with the nurse, and had my blood drawn. The nurse was very friendly and made me feel very relaxed. Then my doctor came in and spent some time with me discussing my health. It was an extremely encouraging visit, with all my questions answered.

My doctor is the most sincere doctor I ever had. I have cancer in my ovaries, and immediately he took action to start me with chemo. All his staff at UCLA are truly nice beautiful people. I completely trust my doctor. I pray that his wishes for me come true . God bless Him & UCLA
