Patient Reviews
May 26, 2022
Dr. Afshari came highly recommended, and for good reason. She proved to be exceptionally competent, proficient and unexpectedly kind. She provided advice and recommendations for treatment of a chronic eye disease. Her expertise has given me both relief and hope. And it was delivered cheerfully with remarkable kindness and a sense of genuine care. I am very grateful to Dr. Afshari for her exceptional medical care.
