In patients' words
"Doctor was very knowledgeable and efficient. He listened patiently and offered clear solutions."
— WebMD patient review for Dr. Kamyar Shahedi"In short…David Yamini is incredibly unprofessional and unkind. He is a FRAUD who will try and push any procedure he can on you."
— Vitals patient review for Dr. David Yamini"After being sick over the weekend and choosing not to visit the ER. I called my GI doctor at 7:00 am. I was extremely lucky to have been scheduled for a same day appointment."
