Six years ago I found a nodule on my neck, says Stephanie Lujar, a Bakersfield resident who chose UCLA Health for her thyroidectomy after learning she had thy...roid cancer. It was terrifying because not only was I told I have cancer, but I didn’t know anything about it. I came to UCLA Health and saw Dr. Masha Livhits and she went through everything. At the other hospital they didn’t give any options or explain anything. Here, I feel like I can ask them anything and I don’t feel dumb for asking questions. I feel so comfortable. After my surgery, Dr. Livhits even called to check up on me. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. It felt like home. See more
