Dr Jafari is excellent.
Dr Swearingen was very kind during my exam. She referred me to specialist for further care and told me of alternative pain management that don't involve medications. I am grateful for the time she spent talking to me about what to do while I wait to be seen by a specialist since I put off coming to the doctors office in the first place.
Dr Jafari is an amazing doctor. I am a patient with other complex issues aside from sinus and he does not ignore the rest of my body when we are discussing my sinuses which some specialist providers do. He does not make me feel stupid when I ask questions and lets me see what he is doing when he looks at my ears and nose through instrument.
Dr Jafari is excellent!
Dr. Jafari does a good job of explaining issues and potential solutions clearly
He was pleasant, thorough in going over details regarding MRI. Most importantly, he was present with me. I didn't feel like he was rushing to get to the next patient. This is a huge plus for me.
Dr. Jafari was excellent in care and diagnosis. He explained self-care well as well as his availability if things don't get better.
I can always count on Dr Jafari to take the time to listen to me, address my concerns and work with me on a plan to achieve the best possible outcome with my health.
When there are no treatments or medical interventions available it's difficult to present the information so to not leave a bit hopeless. It's hard to see this in the doctor's demeanor. Even with that, I was able to advocate for a trial if a temporary tx.
Dr Jaffari is AWESOME!!
Prompt, effective, polite.
Dr. Jafari did a great job in explaining everything to me. He made sure all my concerns and questions were answered.
