I entered the emergency department and was treated promptly, thoroughly and with kindness and empathy. Dr. Sarmast listened attentively , took action, and I was ultimately diagnosed and admitted to the hospital. His quiet manner, gentlleness, and forthright manner decreased my fears. My experience with Dr. Sarmast was overwhelmingly positive.

Wrong diagnosis, did not want to hear about my condition, and he was NOT empathetic whatsoever. I left the ER I saw him at angry and with no answers. I am LIVID. How can they allow such ignorant - both socially and medically - individuals treat the ill. Glad I saw my dr today for the right answers and bedside manner!

I had a great experience with Dr. Sarmast. I generally hate visiting doctors but if more were gracious and kind like him I would make my visits more frequently. He took the time to explain everything to me and I didn't feel like a number or a name on his chart.
