“Dr. Ramin is the best doctor I have seen in a long time. He is very patient, kind, caring, supportive, responsive, and respectful. He walked me through the issues I have been having and advocated for my health like no other doctor I have seen in years. I am very lucky to be in his care.”

“Dr. Oluyede is always pleasant, and he truly listens. When I first met him and described my pain level, he described options but did not inform me what he thought would be best for me. He did not jump straight to, "let's do surgery." I appreciated that.”

“Dr. Kwak looked me in the eyes and cared about what I had to say. He administered the miracle shot and sent me on my way. Dr. Kwak is a wonderful doctor and treated me like an individual, not just a number. Thank you, Dr. Kwak.”

“Dr. Ramin was very thorough in his examination. He showed concern for my well-being and took the time to explain treatment. He explained my test results and offered treatment options to help me heal. I have a shoulder injury that, initially, Dr. Ramin thought might be a rotator cuff tear. X-rays were taken in the office on my initial visit. Dr. Ramin did various tests to check my mobility. I was sent for an MRI, and once the results showed no tear, I had a cortisone shot and started PT. Dr. Ramin even said to call if I needed a follow-up. You don't hear that from doctors. I really appreciate the time he took with me. His staff is also very friendly. My requests for appointments and prescriptions were attended to quickly. I am very happy with my experience and would recommend him to others.”
