I had an excellent visit with Dr. Kamjoo. He and his staff are very professional and friendly. I highly recommend him.
Very professional and caring! He did not make me wait or waste time and gave me his findings on the spot. I have made a followup appointment in 4 months and will continue to make followup appointments in the future.
