This was my first meeting 02/ 02/ 2024 with Dr Kalafian. From the moment I began to relate my health issues / problem "he got it immediately" After more than a year of trying to get others attention, only to be Ignored, Dr Kalafian in a matter of minutes began working toward a corrective resolution which might well have saved my life. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for his help.

*Dr. Kalafian was (is) the finest physician I've encountered. He examined my entire history and seemed to have an innate understanding of my situation, he explained my situation thoroughly.

Was extremely impressed with Dr.Kalafian. He was knowledgeable, professional, and very approachable. I did not feel hurried or that I was being " rubber stamped" or "herded through." Great patient educator - explained his reasoning behind every change in my plan of care. He was also inclusive on my feelings about possible changes in my care. I was truly impressed. I felt like he really cared and wanted to help me improve my health in anyway that he could within his power. He is an example the way most doctor's used to be. He made some med changes and encouraged me to check back via phone to let him know how things were going rather than just waiting til my next appointment. Very good as a rating is a gross understatement as to this gentleman's standard of practice. I think superior would be a more accurate description. I am usually very wary about seeing someone that I am not familiar with, He even rechecked my blood pressure manually himself. I can't remember the last time I have had an actually physician take my blood pressure and believe me with the blood pressure issues I have had it has been taken LOTS of times. I look forward to being under his watchful eye and care.
