I feel heard by Dr. Jafari. I enjoy my visits with her, which would usually be very stressful for me. Discovering I have build-up in the area called, "the widow maker" was not easy for me, but her calm kept me calm. She's been very patient getting my statins right, which has been difficult for me. I am VERY happy that I decided to see a proper cardiologist and that a friend highly recommend Dr. Jafari.

Dr. Jafari is a very personable and knowledgeable physician. She was on schedule, had familiarized herself with my medical background before my appointment, listened to my description of the various medicines I have tried, spent time asking questions and listened to my answers about my health, and was genuinely interested in helping me get my high BP under better control. I especially appreciated that she listened to my symptoms and clearly considered them when prescribing a new medication and dosage protocol. She also carefully listened to my heart and carotid arteries to confirm what I had told her about my belief, based on a recent previous examination, that they were still in good shape. I have a high degree of confidence that Dr. jafari will be able to find a medication or combination of medications that will work for me.
