Patient Reviews
Nov 03, 2016
Dr. Shafaee was extraordinarily professional in all aspects of my recent surgery. The pre-op process was well explained and my visits to her office were timely, informative and test results were quickly communicated by Dr. Shafaee herself. The day of surgery and expectations were well communicated; the post-op and results in ambulatory surgery and during my recovery at home were monitored again by Dr. Shafaee herself and all questions and concerns were answered and explained professionally.
