He seems to be very thorough and kind. Both are very important to me! He thinks outside of the Box which is also important to me. I really like this man as a Dr and he seems to be a very good person too!

Very good Dr. I never feel like he's in a hurry. Listens to everything you say-he has been right on all my problems, stirred me in right directions. I've heard no complaints & a lot of my family & friends go to him.

Dr. Hira is the BEST primary care doctor I've ever used...far superior to M.Ds. He is board certified in internal medicine. He listens, he takes time with you, his diagnoses are correct and he takes good care of you as a person not a patient/number.

Dr Hira is a knowledgeable physician who spends the time it takes to get a proper understanding of your issue. He is not only attentive but is inquisitive about what is going on. He certainly makes you feel comfortable and explains his thinking behind your diagnosis. I am glad to have found him when I needed a primary physician.
