I appreciate how helpful Dr Samii is in my care and treatment. For the question regarding overall health, it was difficult to answer because my neck affects the rest of my body and it hurts a lot so I lay down and rest my neck a lot. My neck is poor.

Dr. Ali Samii work well with his patients and was well prepared for the telemedicine visit. We (my wife and I) to a face-to-face visit soon, as him and his staff work with me on treatment .
