Patient Reviews
Aug 25, 2022
For over 3 years or so I have been seen by different physicians for my digestive issue. She diagnosed my condition after seeing me once and under 5 minutes. I couldn’t believe it. After the results came back and I started treatment I have the quality of life which I thought I lost. Thank you Dr. Ghavimi
