Dr Ntim is a life saver on my book. I already was in health crisis when she took over me as a patient from another pcp that left UCLA. She immediately has provided such a thorough and personable care which I have not experienced prior to Dr Ntim. Then my mother’s death came which accompanied with deep mental crisis along with health challenges. With her care, I was able to obtain proper mental health care of which i have made a dramatic improvement throughout last four years and am on the way to achieve my physical well being. I owe her a great deal of gratitude. Doctor like her does not come around often. I know because we (as in my friends and other family members talk about their pcps). She is the best clinician as well as a person.
