Dr. Atefi has a great bedside manner and really listened to me. Since it was my first time meeting with her, we reviewed my history and went over any new issues. She was attentive and seemed to really care. I was having a problem she wasn't familiar with so she asked to consult with colleagues and a few days later she followed up with me for an action plan.
