Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Caring Professional
All the staff was kind and professional. They explained procedures each step of the way.

Amazing doctor
Dr. Erfanian is very good at what he does. I broke both wrists at the same time and he put me back together. I was able to return back to work with a lot of therapy and hard work. But if my hands weren’t put together and in alignment properly, I don’t know if I’d have complete function. He is a very caring man. He has a great team as well.
