He really wasn't interested. I know that I am not that sick, but he could have dealt with me in 5 minutes so that my husband wasn't in the waiting room for so long, inconsiderate when one is dealing with the older generation with back problems, or just other problems for people over 70.

Dr. Eskandari’s open manner. After greetings, he asked me how was my health. Never had been asked that before. He then showed me my ultrasounds, explained what I was looking at, and did so in terms that were easy to understand. Thank goodness I did not have an AAA. Since one ultrasound indicated an aneurysm and the others didn’t, he explained why, and I could see the aorta clearly on the screen, along with the measurements. It was very obvious that Dr. Eskandari cares about his patients, has a calm manner, and has excellent communication skills. If I would have had to have surgery, I trusted Doctor and would know I was in expert hands.
