Rating & Reviews
Dr Jamshidi is thorough, caring, desires best outcome, ensures safety for procedures, great listener. Much appreciated.
We appreciate and respect Dr. Jamshidi!
Hi, Dr. Jamshidi is really great about taking his time with the patient and the parents and answering any questions we have and going above and beyond to get the information to us that we ask for or that we need or anything that has to do with the child that he's seeing. He's great and I would recommend him to anybody.
Our experience with Dr. Jamshidi has been very positive and he is an excellent doctor! He explained everything in a way that we can understand and he was very optimistic, empathetic, and accomodating. My daughter had a positive visit and he even gave her tokens for being a super patient. So much respect and we feel privileged to have him. Hopefully, we don't have to need his surgeon services very soon, but it is very comforting to know that we have him in our medical team in the future.
