Care Compliments

Thank you for being so knowledgeable, kind, and responsive when caring for me. I realize I am not the easiest patient to work with. I am so glad we have physicians like you to help heal me when I am at my worst. I am grateful and thankful for your dedication!

This is by far the most invasive procedure I've ever had done in my life but with Dr. Cohen's talented hands its the easiest and most (almost) pain-free surgery of my life. He has no idea how he's given me my life back! I've suffered so much from severe pain from my myomectomy with Dr. Parvataneni in 2014 to the point that I didn't want to live anymore. That is 5 long years of hell for me!!! I was in constant agony every month from my myomectomy complications and I didn't think that anyone could help me. It was so bad that I had given up on motherhood (my ultimate dream) just so that I could live another day. I almost lost the job that I love from calling out too much! Dr. Cohen gave me my life back!!! I am so happy I can't even put into words how grateful I am. I went into surgery with Dr. Cohen, unsure and very nervous of my outcome but I prayed day and night that he could at least get me better, even just a little bit. I mean I'd take it! I'd take anything to get me better from my severe scarring and adhesions from my myomectomy. Not only did Dr. Cohen make me pain-free, he also liberated me from 5yrs of hell and suffering. I feel so much lighter, freer, not constricted in any way. I felt such relief post op that I couldn't tell if I was suffering from pain or not. I am so happy I got my old self back again. I used to think that drs are so used to performing so many surgeries that it was no big deal for them how they affect patients lives as long as "they deal with the problem". But with Dr. Cohen's talented hands, I am a new person looking forward to life. I know it's very unlikely now but I may revisit my motherhood options bec of the way I feel after Dr. Cohen's miraculous hands, nothing is impossible. I admit that I am not one who is very easy to please (ask my husband) but Dr. Cohen gets all the praise from me! Thank you, thank you, thank you

Just wanted to thank SW Liz for all of her help during my time as a patient at UCLA. Liz was so sweet and fast with everything asked of her. She was always available, in person, via phone and email. Thank you so much Liz, your work is truly appreciated and made such a difficult time a little easier and less stressful.

Dr Robert Chin was my physician throughout my 6 weeks of radiation, after 3 years of being told there was nothing to do be done for me he was willing to try radiation. 6 months later and I have been feeling amazing and the post care MRI's show that treatment has worked.
Dr Chin was so caring and such a great physician with great bedside manners! He always made me feel comfortable and helped me see that light at the end of the tunnel. I couldn't be more thankful.

Among other nurses and care providers, Samantha showed extraordinary patience, calm and empathy while caring for me in the hospital. I really appreciated her reassuring manner and professionalism. She was detailed, thorough and took her time reviewing wound and other instructions with me. UCLA is fortunate to have her on the staff.

Jessica is just as beautiful from the inside as she is on the outside. She's so good that John is shadowing her. I believe everyone should've shadowed Jessica. That way you have the best nurses. Plus she always smiles when she comes in the room and has the cutest softest laugh ever,

Anita is the most vibrant person. Beautiful inside and out So attentive to my needs and informative. She walked in with her million dollar smile and it was infectious of course.

Malou was like a guardian angel. I thought I must be her only patient (which I wasn't ) it felt like that cuz she's naturally a sweet attentive person.

I wanted to sincerely thank Kristen for the tremendous care she provided for my brother John Germroth while he was in ICU. All of the staff took great care of my brother during his stay but Kristen's care was above and beyond. She took tremendous care of my brother but also of my entire family while we were visiting him. She truly represents the best of the best. John passed away in February, but I know he recognized as we all did how special Kristen is. Kristen, Thank You!
