My partner and I had the privilege of being treated by Dr. Shala Rasouli, and we cannot express enough gratitude for her exceptional care. We found ourselves dealing with perplexing health symptoms, but through Dr. Rasouli's dedication, research, and time spent, she was able to identify the underlying issues and provide appropriate remedies. Her diagnostic approach to health and well-being goes above and beyond what we had expected.

Dr. Rasouli's commitment to helping us achieve optimal health was truly outstanding. Her research-driven approach and unwavering dedication are commendable. She genuinely cares about her patients' well-being and goes the extra mile to provide exceptional care. Her availability and willingness to address concerns are praiseworthy, making her an invaluable healthcare provider.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Shala Rasouli.

Excellent service & knowledge, highly recommend Dr Rasouli and Teresa (massage). Obviously you don't really want to visit oncology services in your life.... but if it happen to you consider coming here!
