Lauren is an amazing nurse. She is very kind and compassionate. She actually took time to ask what else she can do to make my stay better and chatted with me until I calm down. I had her for two nights and she is wonderful and I can feel her genuine care for her patients. We need more people like her in the healthcare industry.

So genuinely caring, considerate, personal, friendly! It may have been the best treatment by a medical office front staff that I've ever experienced, and I'm old! Everyone that I interacted with were great, also including John, Cynthia, Shemel and Anisa.

Dr. Srikanthan consistently exceeds my expectations as a patient. She is caring and takes the time to ensure her patients receive the best care possible. Most doctors make you feel rushed and spend little time with you. This is not that case with Dr. Srikanthan. She always makes me feel heard, addresses my concerns, and partners with me to best tackle my Type 1 Diabetes. I have greatly enjoyed being a patient of Dr. Srikanthan. She takes away the fear that naturally comes with going to the doctor. When I first started seeing her, my A1C was 8.0 and my numbers were out of control, never stable. Since then, she has helped me to obtain an A1C of 6.0 with her support and guidance. She would say I did it on my own, but I know that's not true--my current state of good health and control over my Type 1 Diabetes is largely credited to her and the support she provided me with. She was the best endo I could have asked for. I spent almost 15 years seeking a doctor like her, and she completely surpassed anything I could have hoped for. I recently had to switch my insurance and seek an endo closer to home. I only hope that one day I can return to be a patient of Dr. Srikanthan's. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, Dr. Srikanthan! I will never forget you and will always hold any future endo I see up to a higher standard because of the care I received from you.

Dr. Katsman has been my physician for some time now. She is forward, clear, and caring. Recognition and praise is not just for the care that is received at the moment but knowing Dr. Katsman thinks longterm to succeed in longterm care, not just temporary.

Thank you for all you do Dr. Katsman and UCLA. Expectations exceed.

I would like to take this time to recognize Jessica L of Porter Ranch UCLA Family Division. She has strengths that stand out in being respectful, cordial, understanding, caring and connects with concerns of patients. Her professional domineer is outstanding.

Shout out to Jessica L, Administrative Assistant III for Dr. Katsman.

Thank you UCLA for all you do.

The care and love from Tamala was exceptional during my visits for chemo. She was always a lovely supporting lady and helpful in very respect, it was a pleasure to see her each time.

Really made a difference in my care and experience today.

Mariska "W" pleasantly and professionally answered my phone call following what I'm sure was a tumultuous day of work, at 3:15PM after a holiday. I attempted to get the call through since 11AM.
Mariska W patiently 'listened' to my question, then responded in a caring, attentive, professional manner. She asked if i was OK to place me on HOLD to get the information I requested, and when she returned, she provided the answers I she was able to (that messages were sent to my physician;s office; and 2 colleagues would return my call with the information I needed (did i need to fast before blood draw scheduled for tomorrow & when would the orders be entered into my chart)
Unfortunately the colleagues who were supposed to follow up have not; however, my goal with this communique is to acknowledge Mariska "W".for a 'job very well done attempting to fill in cracks left by my physician for something she directed me to do,
Please write and give Mariska W a commendation for going beyond the call of duty at 3:30PM.
Many thanks!

All of the nurses in the Postpartum Unit were WONDERFUL, but I would like to thank one of the housekeeping staff members, Emerita, in particular for her gentle thoughtfulness. Each time she came into my room, she would make sure that we were aware of which parts of the floor would be wet. She would sometimes even wait and come back if she sensed that we were busy tending to our newborn son and/or needed some privacy. This note is just a small token of our appreciation for her, along with the rest of the unit's staff.

I am so grateful to have had Emily and Tiffany as the nurses who looked after me when I delivered my son back in mid-April. My son was born with a short umbilical cord that was wrapped around his neck, so I ended up with an emergency c-section. However, Emily and Tiffany took excellent care of me every step of the way and made me feel calm and collected throughout the whole experience. Thank you both (and the rest of the L+D team) for helping deliver my baby boy safely! I am eternally grateful to you all.

Eugenia is very polite nurse, her knowledge is top notch and she truly cares about her patients. She always goes above and beyond. Most importantly it she gave me a shot in the arm that I did not even feel, absolutely pain free. If you are lucky enough to have Eugenia as a nurse, you will never forget a great experience.

There is no way that we could have gotten through this ordeal without your kindness, compassion and dedication to providing the best care to my daughter. You explained everything very clearly, answered all of my questions even when they were redundant, and made sure we were always in the loop. We appreciated you checking on her and us and hope you know that your care made a difference. Thank you!

By: Darcy M.

I cannot thank you enough for your kindness to us, and dedication to ensuring my baby received the absolute best care while here. You listened to us, and trusted me when I said I knew something wasn't right and that made such a difference for us. Your care was above and beyond. Thank you!

Nursing care - everyone I came in contact with - professional and friendly. No one will be able to find a better group.

I am writing about, what I consider to be, an amazing Dr. as well as a special person. Dr. Lillian Chen is an exceptional physician and human being. I have worked in the medical profession for over 35 years, primarily in general practice, as a back office nurse. I have problems taking care of my own personal medical needs, due to not wanting to go to the dr. and taking care of myself. Not a good thing to admit from someone who worked in the field. Since I started going to Dr. Lillian Chen, I feel as if I will start going for my regular check ups, and care more about my type 2 diabetes. She is, by far the best of the best. I find her to be so genuine and caring, in a way I'm not used to experiencing from Dr.'s in general. She was very definite about her concern for my lack of taking care of myself, and made a comment that really stuck with me. She said "I'm going to keep you around" which in the context of that statement, meant that she really expects to keep me in check regarding my keeping appointments with her, and doing the things she requires of me for my care. She is a very sweet person, and yet very much to the point, with how she expects my part in my care with her. I am so grateful that I found her, and will do my best to start taking care of myself by being a better patient, and finally keeping appointments. Thank you Dr. Chen, for being a very special person, and a wonderful caring Dr. I will try not to be so lax with my health issues, and be more responsible in my following up.
