I’m not sure what year it was but Dr Ghiassi saved my life. Not just one time but roughly three or more times. He is the most compassionate Dr I have ever met. He has the best bedside manner. Dr Ghiassi I tip my hat to you??

I will try to make this as short as possible. I am deathly afraid of doctors, hospitals, needles, surgery, pain etc. so when I was in excruciating pain and had to force myself to the er I was scared out of my mind to find out I had to have my gallbladder removed, Dr Ghiassi is truly the most caring and professional doctor I have ever meet. Not only did he try to calm me down before surgery but even after came to check on me and make sure I was doing ok. He explained himself in a way that I was able to understand and although terrified I had complete trust in him. While I am still healing, he did such an amazing job and I am truly blessed that Dr Ghiassi was my surgeon. Even in my follow up appointment he showed such compassion towards me and found a way to make me laugh through out this scary time in my life. Thank you Dr Ghiassi I am very thankful.

Dr. Ghiassi and his staff are amazing. Dr Ghiassi has a way of explaining things that make even the most complicated medical procedures seem easy. I went to Dr Ghiassi very sick and he and his staff were very sensitive to my fears and concerns and helped me through the scariest time of my life. I have seen many suegeons over the past couple years and none compare In bedside manner or skill to dr Ghiassi. i highly recommend him to anyone and will always be grateful he fixed me and saved my life.
