Dr. Chaikin is such a wonderful doctor, patient, kind, and really listens to his patients and explains things in a clear way. He was my doctor when he was with UCLA 5 years ago.

Dr Chaikin is the best doctor I've ever had, and I recommend him to anyone I know looking for a provider. He's informative, listens to everything you have to say, and has great bedside manner and clearly cares for his patients. I'm always extremely confident in his diagnosis. This time, I was also treated by one of his assistants (Vincent) who was also incredibly informative and attentive, and well as provided me great recommendations for my issues. Lastly, I am a bit squeamish when it comes to having my blood taken, but made specific note of Linette (though I may be spelling her name incorrectly), as I believe she's taken my blood several times and always does so with great care, and very professionally to where I can barely even feel the needle. That's not something everyone does well, but she has the touch and definitely deserves kudos for being so kind and attentive to patients' stress.
