In patients' words

"Hands down best experience I’ve had with a provider. Dr. Davis is thoughtful, kind, answered all questions..."

UCLA Health patient review (Dr. Jeremy C. Davis)

"Very robotic, not sure that I trust his judgement regarding my moles. Used medically inarticulate language... Was clear that he wanted to move on quickly..."

UCLA Health patient review (Dr. Michael O. Nguyen)

"He was uninterested in my medical history and did not engage in any conversation... Very perfunctory and non communicative. Really disappointing."
