Dr. Babaknia and his Team are the most caring medical professionals that I have ever met.I came in on 4/22 for a new patient physical and was first greeted by the smiling faces of all wonderful staff at the reception desk. Then I was brought in by a nurse who wrote a personalized welcome message on the paper cover on the exam table. So special! Thank you.Then when Dr. Babaknia and Rubi came in for the check-up, I felt taken care of in the most professional and humane way.Also, Dr. Babaknia followed up on the test results and the referrals to specialists super fast.Thank you so much, Dr. Babaknia, Rubi, and Team.
