Care Compliments

Divine A.

Divine was very caring extremely patient with me and made me very comfortable while under her care. She filled in when the nurse was not available and was this one of the kindest provide I've come in contact with. Her knowledge and attention to patient care is superior and I'm appreciative of her support.

Lidiya C.

I cannot say enough that will express my gratitude for Lidiya's support during my stay. Not only was she knowledgeable but she really took the time to make me feel comfortable and reassured me she was available to tend to my needs should they arise. Lidiya is the type of nurse we all would prefer as she is thorough but not pushy knowledgeable but not showy she always smiles and makes you feel like you are her very own. I'm super grateful for her.

Louise C.

Louise was an exceptional advocate for me during my treatment. She made sure I understood completely the options necessary and did not hesitate to inquire further when appropriate. Her attention to patient advocacy is one of the reasons I felt comfortable in the unit as she visited me numerous times.

Rhonda S.

I wanted to take a moment to share how truly grateful we are for Rhonda and the care she provided to my son, Cesar. Rhonda was incredible not only as a nurse, but as a person. She cared for our son with so much compassion and skill, and she also took the time to support us as parents during an overwhelming and scary experience. Her kindness, patience, and reassurance made a difficult situation feel manageable.
She truly embodies what a pediatric nurse should be, and we are so thankful to have had her caring for our family.

Dr. Peter D.

Dr. Peter Downey, his assistant, Carolyn Moh, and the staff at UCLA Ronald Reagan, gave me such satisfying care that I search for different ways to express my gratitude. My surgery to repair an aneurysm on my ascending aorta landed me in ICU and the 7th floor units for a total of two weeks. The nursing staff worked like a well-oiled machine taking care of me. Thank you!

Nelson S.

I have to get my blood drawn frequently, and it's always been at least a little painful. However, Nelson drew my blood in such a smooth and professional way I didn't even realize he put the needle in. He's the best when it comes to blood drawing, and he was really nice and funny too. Thanks Nelson!

Casey W.

Casey does fantastic working in Dr. Ginger Slack's office to help connect people to gender-affirming care. I really felt like she went out of her way to expedite things and work with me through having an insurance deadline and being located out of state to schedule my consult and surgery.

Throughout the entire process of working with her, I was struck by her kindness and willingness to genuinely help me as a patient. I can't say I have had any other experiences with the healthcare world as humanizing and understanding and helpful as this one. When you read about people's reviews of Dr. Slack online, you see people speak so positively about her care team. I now know that Casey is the reason for that.

Rachel V.

I want to recognize Rachel Valencia for her exceptional care and patience while administering a flu shot for our daughter. Despite our daughter being extremely upset, Rachel went out of her way to create a calm and reassuring experience. She explained every step of the process, asked for consent, and waited until our daughter felt ready. Rachel even showed her the different tools, let her touch the alcohol pads, and engaged her in a way that had her laughing and smiling by the end. Her kindness and professionalism made a tough situation so much better. Thank you, Rachel!

Tamala R.

Tamala is amazing ! She not only knows her stuff when it comes time get funding for my CLL med but she is also so very caring and supportive. It was time to get my CLL med renewed for 2025 so I reached out to see if there were any grands. Tamala found one and helped in getting approval very quickly ! She is so passionate about her work. If I had gone strait through to get the grant myself it would take a tremendous amount of time and a possible rejection. Tamala is truly on her game. She responds quickly and got me the approval extremely rapidly. I could not afford the $18,000 a month med. without the grant. Tamala is a true saint and UCLA is very fortunate to have her on your team. I have friends out of state who don't have a Tamala to turn to and they have to pay the full price for the meds or use up countless hours for getting a grant. I feel truly blessed to know that I can turn to Tamala who is the poster child for getting this done !

Sogan C.

My husband and I were very impressed by Sohan. He remembered us and would update us whenever he got an update, even with us coming and going he would let us know how our baby was doing during her procedure.

By: Abigail G.

Tamela T.

Tamela has assisted in getting my cancer meds covered as otherwise they would be unaffordable for me. She is a valuable asset. She has handled such a stressful situation for me with ease, care and she does what she says she is going to do. My calls and emails are returned almost immediately. She is invaluable for me and just want her recognized for all that she does.

By: Jennifer S.

Julian Thaddeus B.

I am so thankful and appreciative of Julian going above and beyond to assist me with patient care. Understanding that the ED is extremely busy in addition to the natural disasters ongoing, Julian went out of his way to ensure CICARE was displayed during my shift with him. I am very impressed and glad we have people like Julian who will go out of their way to help our patients and team members. Way to go Julian!
