I was really frustrated with experience and feeling like I wasn’t heard and taken seriously of my symptoms. To experience the quickest medical appointment, how can you properly support someone in a medical setting? That’s besides the ER in four minutes.

Great and the Dr let me know about the body tag that another group will have to remove all the cancer, and the type it is. Also to let the doctors look at my index finger to remove the lump. He didn't think it would be wise for him to dig without being sure.

Check-in and waiting toomnwas no more than 5 minutes for my 6 month return visit. Excellent staff, and Dr Patel checked me head-to-toes. Took 2 biopsies and will provide results within 10 days after lab work. Could not be happier with the UCLA dermatologist team. Thank you all. Go Bruins!

I really feel like the doctor was thorough and his assessment was nice. A big thing for me is the appointment time and the actual time I get into the room and complete with my appointment so today my appointment was at 8:45. I got there at around 835. I was pulled into the room at around 840 and I was done with the assessment around 855 and that’s exactly What I expect and I’m very thankful that it was able to happen today. This doctor appears to be on time more often than not so I’m thankful for that as well.
