Patient Reviews
Feb 03, 2022
I wish I could give Dr. Pourbabak more than 5 stars. He has helped me to reduce my thyroid and glucose to a normal level after less than a year of treatments. Although his office was booked he accepted to see my husband regarding his high blood sugar and high cholesterol and after a short period of time, all have been reduced to a normal level as well. Not only Dr. Pourbabak is an excellent physician, he is very kind and spends time to explain everything. His office staff are also very professional and on time. We have never waited more than a few minutes to be seen for our appointments. thank you Dr Pourbabak Shirin& Parviz
