This appointment with Dr Emami was a routine check-in to discuss blood work results from several days earlier. Dr Emami is friendly and professional, going over my current results in comparison to previous tests. It is clear that he had prepared in advance of my visit. He then adjusted my medicine going forward. I appreciate Dr Emami.
