This time my appointment date was November 12, 2025. I have been seeing Dr. Navi since my stroke four years ago. He's always been helpful, patient, compassionate and on point-regarding next steps and supportive in explaining what I might do to help avoid future strokes. When considering treatments or tests he presents options with context and helps you make good choices. He is always on time. I never need to wait more than 5 minutes in his office to see him. He is easy to talk to, and he gives enough time. Working with him has been extremely rewarding. I feel I can completely trust him and my care is really in good hands. I would give him a “10 “if I could! I recommend him without reservation. God bless Dr. Navi. Kazi Khair
