He is great. And, of course, he answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns.

Dr Shafi knows and understands me. He is great at explaining my test results. He makes me extremely comfortable and relaxed during my exam. He is both professional and personable. The office runs smoothly, and is very clean and nice.

Dr Shafi is a beautiful combination of kindness, caring, knowledge, and expertise. He makes you feel like you’ve got an awesome ally in your corner. I’m lucky to have him for my doc and UCLA is lucky to have him, too.

He listened and responded knowledgeably and clearly, and made the appropriate further appointments for me to have my arthritic spine checked out, so the doctor to whom he is referring me has as much information as possible. He also renewed some of my prescriptions. I made another appointment for two months from now since I need to have, the same doctor follow me through with whatever comes next. Otherwise, it would take too much time and effort to fill another doctor

Always positive, personable, knowledgable, concerned and solution oriented
