HI.We just switched to dr. Ghafouri, she is very sweet, kind, and knowledgeable. She always answers questions completely. She is very good with kids. We are very happy we switched, she is always looking out for the kids even if that means telling you some things parents do not want to hear.

Excellent doctor. She makes me feel at ease and always spends quality time with us and our daughter. The only negative thing I would say is not at all related to her, but the ability to reach their answering service. I have been on hold for > 20 minutes just to make an appointment and sometimes it takes 5+ calls to get a live body rather than a busy signal.

Dr. Ghafouri always takes the time to explain her diagnosis and is very good at communicating. She is gentle with her little patients and extremely patient both with children and parents alike! Her staff is also very nice and respectful. We highly recommend Dr. Ghafouri.
