The experience was the best ever. I had seen so many doctors and had many tests with no actual explanation or diagnosis. Dr Sami was able to give me a diagnosis of my problem and recommendations for treatment, but I felt much relaxed and calm after talking to someone as knowleageable as Dr Sami. Highly recommend.
