Dr. Azimi is such a knowledgeable, kind and caring doctor. He is thorough and really personalizes each visit. His staff are all so helpful and friendly. I have gratefully been with him for many years and he has been taking care of few of my Medical colleagues!

Review for Dr. Azimi

Dr. Kansagra is one of the best doctors I’ve met with. Kind, caring & genuinely interested in what I was going through. I’m bummed he is no longer a part of my health insurance plan. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their doctor.

Review for Dr. Kansagra

Doctor Skinner was very thorough in the pre-op meeting about what conditions and contingacies we might expect in removing my lesion via Endscopy.. I was amazed when I came out of anesthesia to find out he had been able to painstakingly remove the entire growth! Im am so grateful I was refered to...

Review for Dr. Skinner

This was one of my quickest appointments! Kari even caught my eye and stopped to visit and listen to my current events. Dr. B. even sat down and spared a few moments to talk to me. Even the tech did a great job coaching through eye chart. So all great bedside manners!
