In patients' words
"Dr. Paydarfar is one of the best physicians I have ever seen. I had to get a procedure done in the clinic and was very anxious... A great balance of being friendly, informative, and cracking jokes."
— WebMD Review (Dr. Joseph Paydarfar)"Dr. Smith is polite, but dismissive. Disinterested in looking further at continuing symptoms after he believed he 'fixed' the problem. Won't see him again."
