Dr. Ghobrial took a good look at my MRI and gave me a different opinion of this other doctor. She showed me the MRI and explained it. Dr. Ghobrial is very knowledgeable .

I saw Dr. Ghobrial for persistent shoulder pain. She ordered an MRI which showed that I had arthritis and also a couple of tears in my left shoulder. There was no advantage to having surgery so Dr. Ghobrial ordered a cortisone injection in my shoulder. I am thrilled to report that I have not had pain since the time! It has been 7 months!

As in all meetings with Dr. Ghobrial, I was totally satisfied. She gave thorough review of all my issues and had clear. and concise answers. Additionally, she responded when I first left a message that I had a couple of issues with an immediate suggestion that I come in and meet to discuss. Excellent meeting, thorough, professional, and detailed.

Irene is the best. She knows who I am and treats me like a person not just a patient. I did have a long wait at my last appointment, but I know she is taking the best care of the person ahead of me and I know she would do the same for me. I have had great success with the treatments she has given me.
