Yesterday was a UCLAHEALTH scheduled appointment to follow up on my visit to the UCLA ER last Monday for injuries from a “hit & run” incident. The appointment had been automatically scheduled as a result of my ER visit. I cannot imagine having greater care than I received yesterday and always from UCLA. I’ve been hesitant about seeking medical help since early life near death surgeries. Since early 2024 my experience with UCLA has changed my life to be healthier and more positive.
