t perhaps no time in living memory has the medical profession been the focus of so much attention as throughout the coronavirus pandemic. In the face of a crisis of such magnitude, this is only natural. Of course, personal medical crises are not confined to global outbreaks, instead striking some of us every day in a myriad of ways. And when they do, the first thing on our minds is access to superior medical care. That’s why each year at Pasadena Magazine, we survey the local medical community to seek their opinions about who among them deserve recognition as the best of the best. In partnership with Professional Research Services who conduct the balloting, we compile and publish a listing of those medical professionals whom their peers have elevated for recognition. All Top Docs are vetted through the California Medical Association to ensure they are currently licensed and under no investigation or sanction. All qualifying doctors with unblemished records become a Pasadena Magazine Top Doctor. ➝

Dr. Huang, who does a lot of pro bono work, offers this free advice: Don’t neglect any symptoms and write them off as signs of old age. Glaucoma can have no symptoms and can happen at any age. Any loss of vision as a result of glaucoma is irreversible. However, when caught early it can be controlled and loss of vision can be prevented. Therefore, early detection and treatment for any eye disease may save your sight. 650 West Duarte Road, Suite 100-D, Arcadia Phone 626.446.6682 Fax morganhuangmd.com626.447.6680

Dr. Nelson pointed out that a team approach benefits everyone. “Breast cancer patients have relationships with multiple caregivers. It makes sense for all my breast surgical oncologists to have close working relationships with other specialists.”
“Most people think they have to choose between the convenience of a community-based program and the high-level expertise you get with an academic medical center. We’ve worked hard to give our patients the best of both worlds.”

“We can offer convenience without sacrificing exceptional care.”

After the Multidisciplinary Clinic, it’s natural for a patient to want to have clinic visits and even surgery close to home. Keck Medicine of USC’s Breast Surgery satellite locations offer just that: the convenience of community care with the peace of mind that goes with working with top-tier USC surgeons. The program offers advanced all-underone-roof care at clinics in Arcadia, Pasadena, USC Verdugo Hills Hospital, and Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, and is continually expanding.
