I travel into Los Angeles often for doctor appointments and other medical services.  Are my meal expenses deductible?

No, meal expenses are not deductible unless they are provided as part of your care, such as meals provided during a hospital stay. Please see page 11 of IRS Pub 502, Medical and Dental Expenses for more information.
