I visited Dr. Alborzian for a pretty simple eye infection, but I was impressed with his thoroughness and attention to detail. He noted all possible steps that could be taken, what he recommended, and most importantly, why. He gave me contraindications against things that could exacerbate it (and why), and other information about myself that can help with preventative care. He was very thorough in comparing each eye to the other to get as much information as possible about what my eyes are like healthy vs infected. It was an efficient and professional. I wasn't rushed, nor was my time wasted. Granted, I'm the kind of person who asks a lot of questions and wants them answered, but he answered them all in a straightforward manner, which I greatly appreciate.

Dr. Alborzian was a wonderful, friendly, charismatic, informative, understanding, charming, and thoughtful. I wish I could go to him for all my medical needs as the whole visit with him was enjoyable. I was comfortable in talking to him about my medical history as he was very easy to talk to and not boring! Thanks Dr. Alborzian for a great experience! See ya in 5 years! ;-)
