  Aug 29, 2024
I was most impressed by Dr. Lafi's knowledge and calm and friendly demeanor. I was referred by my primary care who got a weird result on an ekg. Turns out they probably did it incorrectly. Dr. Lafi did a follow up in her office and it was perfect. Very reassuring. Dr. Lafi took the time to listen and explain thoroughly. You don't find that kind of extraordinary care too often anymore in the Healthcare systems.
