Review for Dr. Goldsmith

Dr. Sola has been my doctor for 2 years now and I'd recommend him to anyone. Not only is he down to earth, caring and compassionate he treats you like a friend he's known for years vs a patient he doesn't care about. He's called me on his day off, squeezed me in last minute and had heart to heart...

Review for Dr. Han

Ishaq and his team performed two surgeries on my leg after I was hit by a car. He himself was very personable and the whole team was just fantastic, and the work they did was beautiful. I’m thankful I can be the first one to leave a review here and get him the 5 stars he deserves!

Review for Dr. Ibrahim

My mother absolutely adored Dr. Gowda. I know he is the reason a I had my mother for several more years. His bedside manner is beyond reproach. I'll always be grateful for the manner in which he treated my mother. Thank you Dr. Gowda.
