"He is the sweetest, kindest, gentle, and very informative doctor. He takes his time in answering questions... Best birth experience ever."
— Vitals (Dr. Donald Lindblad)"They make you pay additional $1500 for their own book keeping services on top of your insurance or they wont make a appointment for you... IT WILL BE A MISTAKE TO BOOK."
— Vitals (Dr. Pedram Rashti)"Each time I visit she is running at minimum 45 minutes behind... Bedside manner is even worse... I don't need a lecture, I need a Dr. who is true to their word and a good communicator."
