This guy totally missed that I had a frontal lobe brain injury. He only gave me migraine meds for SYMPTOMS and totally missed that I had a swollen brain with lesions causing low blood flow. Go to Amen Clinic if you want a REAL doctor to do a SPECT scan. I SUFFERED 12 years until I could afford REAL care. This guy does NOT know what he is doing. VERY disappointing.

Dr Jafri has been my doctor for over 10 years. He is the most caring doctor I've ever had. In fact he has been the Best doctor I've seen. Even though my care has been a struggle from day one, he has kept me going, taught me to be strong and patient even though my disease seemed over whelming at times. He took me from being in a wheelchair to walking again in my first few times seeing him. His knowledge can not be surpassed. If you follow what he tells you to do, You will be amazed.

He did not complete insurance forms that he said he would. Only after complaining to hospital administration did he send me the necessary forms a month and a half later. Jafri dropped me as a patient at the same time he finally sent me the insurance forms.
