Ok, to start off, He is what Doctors used to be like when I was growing up. He takes the time to listen to you, then instead of jumping to his opinion, he checks out your concerns & what your body is presenting. Then he takes the time to talk to you regarding his findings & make sure you understand what’s going on. A plan of action is presented, but all along, I never felt like a number or a patient. I felt like he had known me for years, like friends but closer...family. Thank you Dr Raoufi

I have a history of Crohn's Disease and since moving from Northern California I needed a new GI specialist. Dr. Raoufi seemed nice - he was gentle and kind. I had a colonoscopy and it went well; on my follow-up visit, Dr. Raoufi told me virtually nothing but gave me a prescription for cholsteramine powder but told me virtually nothing about his findings or why he was prescribing this medication.

Dr Raoufi is a very caring Doctor! He listened to my concerns that I had prior to my colonoscopy. He assured me I would be completely comfortable while the procedure was going on and I was! His staff definitely put me at ease about the procedure as well.
