Dr. Arbit always gives me the impression he knows exactly what he’s talking about and I feel confident in his Medical suggestions on my behalf. Beyond that, he’s a really nice guy and I like him.

Dr. Arbit may strike some as too direct, but I appreciate his not beating around the bush. He has a competative streak and wants to win, and he wins by making sure that his patients are staying alive! My cardio situation has been complicated by life factors and cancer treatment, so for Dr. Arbit to take the time to carefully put together a puzzle of treatment options is something I am very grateful for. He's another example of UCLA Health keeping me alive!
