Patient Reviews
Jan 23, 2024
I AM A RETIRED ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSE WITH A MASTER'S DEGREE FROM UCLA NURSING. I WORKED WITH MANY DOCTORS DURING MY 50+ YEARS OF NURSING IN 3 STATES. I LOST MY FATHER AND GRANDFATHER TO HEART ATTACKS AT AGES UNDER 60. BOTH BROTHERS HAD HEART ATTACKS IN THEIR 40'S. I HAVE LUPUS AND NOW STAGE 4 BONE CANCER AT AGE 77. DR. WATSON HAS KEPT MY HEART HEALTHY AND ME HAPPY SINCE SHE STARTED AT UCLA. SHE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST.
