“I highly recommend Doctor Kourosh. In addition to listening to my concerns about my upcoming surgery (a major surgery), she raised some points about the procedure I had not thought about at first. She also recommended for me to get a second opinion so as to make sure that I would go into surgery with a peace of mind. As such, she provided a new referral to me and will call that provider herself to expedite my appointment as I am under tight time constraints. Following my conversation with Doctor Kourosh, I felt that I had all the information I need to continue my personal research to get ready mentally and physically for my surgery. Thank you Doctor Kourosh and I am so grateful for your help and concerns about my health. Doctor Kourosh is the best!”
