Dr. Nami was so compassionate and he takes as much time as it needs to get to the bottom of the issue. I have recommended him to many friends who have also found he was the first Rheumatologist to understand their (our) pain and he is extremely knowledgeable about his field. You really won't regret seeing Dr. Nami

Overall Rating: 1.0 2016-11-17

Very unfriendly. Seemed to lack knowledge. Wait time horrible. Felt rushed.
