Patient Reviews
Oct 28, 2021
She's a wonderful Doctor. She's done 3 surgeries on me. I will miss her when she leaves Loma Linda. She would always answer all my questions, and reassure me and calm me down when needed. I don't want anyone else operating on me. She's a very personal Doctor, and that's a wonderful quality.
