        I have been a Stage 4 melanoma patient at The Angeles Clinic. Dr Hamid has been my physician but on occasion I have been seen by Dr. O'Day. They are BOTH wonderful doctors, smart, caring and dedicated to their patients. Dr. O'Day is a bit more taciturn; Dr. Hamid a bit more engaging. I would hardley describe as cold. EAch doctor has his own style and each patient relates more efficiently to certain doctors. Thank God there are choices.

        As to Dr hamid's concern about clinical trials, as there has been no proven effective approved treatment for melanoma, trials are the cutting edge. They have been the only way to expose patients to these drugs. I was fortunate to be cured by the trials. I have had clean  scans for 8 months. In 10 days I will be running the LA Marathon. Thank you Dr. Hamid and EVERYONE at The Angeles Clinic. Michael Greenberg
