Dr. Kalafian is exceptional. He calls you with results, not someone from his office. He schedules any test based on your needs after discussing the test with you. He allows you to be a part of how your treatment moves forward. Best doctor I have ever worked with.

Dr was excellent!! His assistant was also!! I knew they had already ready my chart BEFORE my visit which never happens at any other drs I've seen. Both Drs were very knowledgeable and talked to me about all my concerns and questions. I can't say enough good things about my dr and his assistant and my visit!! You deserve 6 stars out of a rating of 5 stars. Just great drs that cared!!
