Dr Kose is amazing and all the supporting staff. I went in there feeling so sad and struggling and when I left I felt lighter and could smile. The patient care, encouragement is top notch. I feel incredibly supported and like I can and will get healthy! I’m so incredibly greatful for UCLA Health and the long covid program. Dr Kose cares for her patients and gives so much help and is so thorough!

I generally have a very positive experience with UCLA health. I like how everything is easily accessible and transferable between doctors, but I do occasionally run into a poor doctor but today was not that I usually don’t leave reviews unless I I’m extremely impressed or extremely dissatisfied today. I was extremely impressed. I really like Doctor Kose and she takes the time to explain everything and really understand your symptoms. I wish I could give her 10 stars out of five very exceptional. Amazing. Give her her a raise.
