When Dr. Najafi treated my father for kidney failure, he callously dismissed my father’s pleas for more information and kept him on dialysis for months, knowing full well that he would not recover. His lack of transparency and his lack of respect for his patients ‘ autonomy are not typical of other nephrologists who treat the patient, not the disease.

I would highly recommend Dr. Najafi for any patient seeking a thorough and concerned physician. His office staff, Robin, was delightful and very helpful.
