Dr. Amin has been attentive and compassionate in helping Sophia resolve an issue that had been causing her distress. He was reassuring and helped her understand the bigger picture behind the issue. He also remembered some important personal details from one appointment to the next (such as her getting ready to leave for college soon), which was above and beyond in working with a new patient. We would absolutely recommend Dr. Amin to others.
