Dr. Arif Jivan was very thorough with my examination. He remembered me and was up to date for my visit. He asked me all the necessary questions in order to evaluate my current physical status. I was very satisfied and I felt like he listened to my concerns. He recommended a follow up visit in 6 months after completing Echo 2D Doppler and Cardiac MRI.
