I was able to book an appointment on the day of, which is incredibly rare in the US healthcare system. It was much appreciated because my left foot was in a lot of discomfort, causing mobility issues. When I got to the appointment, the receptionists were welcoming and efficient, and Dr. Nejat saw me almost immediately. He was attentive and quick at diagnosing and fixing my problem. I walked out of the office feeling much better. Overall a great experience!
