Dr. Carroll was his usual self in a way wherein he exhibits this intrinsic, internally driven focus of presenting his better than best physician-self! He was exemplary in focusing on the whole pt, connects with one's vulnerabilities & fears with compassion, treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Dr. Carroll is intentional about collaborating with other physicians & the full health care team seeking solutions. He is humble, generous, selfless with his time, clearly explaining complex disease patterns, symptoms & treatment, listening & answering questions, integrating these discussion into updating our care plan.

I come from a family of doctors. Have also worked in the medical field. In my 78 years I’ve had many good doctors. But I’ve never had a doctor like William Carroll. Because there isn’t anyone like him. He is peerless. UCLA is so lucky to have him
