I have a rare condition and am allergic and sensitive to most medications and things in life. Dr. Miller was my anesthesiologist and he listened, he researched, and he completely calmed my fears. I adore him and I did well with his protocol. It was a miracle. My family is very grateful to Dr. Miller. He went above and beyond. Thank you Dr. Miller.

Dr. Livhits(Link opens in new window) so amazing! She truly is an "Angel" who has changed my life! Dr. Livits and her team has done an amazing surgery removing my left adrenal mass. I woke up with very little pain, and did not need to take any pain medication. I took a couple Tylenol at home for the discomfort during the recovery.
I was in tears with joy when I saw my 1st blood test results - My potassium level is at 4.8 - This is the 1st time ever in my life my potassium is within a normal range WITHOUT any medications! I am so excited, feel like I am on top of the world. Words cannot describe how happy I am.

Dr. Yeh(Link opens in new window) is very kind and professional. Patients value kindness and care from their health professionals. His thorough explanation of the thyroid surgical procedure showed me that he is very knowledgeable in his field. During my annual check-up, I told Dr. Yeh that I will introduce him to anyone I know who has thyroid issues.

Dealing with diabetes is difficult. Having a change in one's condition and watching a loved one deal with changes is even more difficult. My husband was recently hospitalized and placed on steroids that significantly altered his blood glucose levels. As a result, my husband and I had to learn how to manage his diabetes through insulin administration. Carolina took the task of educating my husband and I on this daunting task. From her first hello, I quickly realized Carolina is a very special person. Carolina embodies what it means to be a nurse. She is compassionate, highly educated, and able to convey information in such a manner that is easily accessible to two elderly individuals in a vulnerable position. We are so grateful and happy to learn from Carolina. Due to her welcoming approach and skilled teaching, we were both able to not only administer insulin correctly, but also understand why this was necessary. She was patient, non-judgmental and answered all of our questions with grace and ease. We both left that education session feeling confident to tackle this challenge. Thank you Carolina for all of your hard work and dedication to teaching us, you have tremendously impacted our lives for the better. Thank you.

Dear UCLA,
Today I had to go to your emergency room, where your welcoming team (Michael and others), your nurse Matthew Morrison, your x-ray technician Mona, and your doctor Lisa Dabby, took such extraordinary kind, patient, quick, but painstaking care of me that I had to write you this letter as soon as I got home.

One reads all kinds of articles about the mistakes which are made these days in medicine, but one rarely hears about the touchdowns, the slam dunks, the home runs that are made these days in medicine. Your team, under the direction I assume of your administrators and your doctors are providing precise, skillful medical treatment in such a professional organized and dignified way. I watched one male nurse put a patient at ease by taking her to a CAT scan room as though he were taking her to the prom. She laughed and I saw the tension drain away from her face. I saw your nurse Matthew Morrison treating two homeless men with so much kindness, respect and DIGNITY that it left me emotional, and all of this afforded to me as well.

[The same with your reassuring X-Ray tech Mona, and all of your staff]

At each step, one of your team checked in with me, making sure I was okay, asking if I needed a warm sheet or anything that would make me comfortable. Letting me know how my tests were going and updating me with the timing of things. And finally Doctor Dabby, putting me at ease with her warm, friendly bedside manner and easy-to-understand diagnoses. If you or your loved one had to be in an ER, you would want them to be treated by Doctor Dabby, Mona, Matthew, Michael and everyone else working on Thursday September 5th.

I know that their is only a place to recognize one team member at a time, but would you please give a hearty thank you of recognition to everyone who was on your staff tonight and especially Dr Lisa Dabby, nurse Michael (who's shift ended a bit earlier than everyone else's, Mona and Matthew Morrison) because I have never seen an ER team work so hard, not only to provide top-notch, 5-star care, but also to make everyone, no matter how rich or poor, how sick or well, feel like a valuable member of society, like a person who deserves great care and like someone that they're truly happy to help. You have rare, wondeful magic going on in that ER and I don't know how you do it, but you are all practicing medicine the way it has always wanted to be practiced. Bravo and thank you so so much. For saving lives while also providing care that makes people feel dignified and valued. I am grateful to you. Gerry K

I got a chance to be at the hospital with my mother during the first 3 days of her stay in the ICU while she was in the care of Nurse Shin. Nurse Shin has the perfect disposition for an ICU Nurse. She was warm, positive and very knowledgeable. She answered all my questions even when it was a simple question I got a wealth of information which was so comforting and reassuring. She really spends her time with her patients. I want to thank all the UCLA ICU nurses who took great care of my mother. My mother was sad and teary when she was moved to a regular room as she will miss all the nurses in the ICU and is so grateful to them for their quality care.
