My first visit with this Dr (as my primary was not available). I thought she was wonderful, informative, and helpful. This was the first experience, however, with a UCLA doctor telling me we were "out of time" -- I literally have never heard those words from a UCLA physician, oncologist, surgeon, etc. It felt odd.
