Dr Akhondi is the best he is so caring and he listens he doesn rush me out of there. I always leave with all my medical questions answered. I was very disappointed to hear that he will not be able to take care of my medical needs, but what was more disturbing was that the office that called was very secretive with their information about their doctors and even their address. Very very weird. I don't know if I trust that. I got a message that they will be taking care of Dr. Akhondi's patients. I kinda wish that someone from his office would call and explain whats going on because something doesn't sound right. I'M A WORRIED PATIENT!!!!
