Dr. Khalfayan did a great job on my shoulder. I’m back to swimming and the surgery shoulder is better than my non surgery shoulder. The Dr is very attentive and explains things thoroughly. Feel free to forward my coments to Dr. Khalfayan.

Sat for an hour and a half waiting for the doctor and it wasn’t even mentioned. My time was not considered which is quite upsetting when you take time away from work and pay what we pay for healthcare appointments for just a few minutes of a doctor’s time. This would never be acceptable in another industry and I don’t find it to be acceptable in medicine.

I had a complex meniscectomy and meniscus repair surgery almost a year ago.
Dr Khalfayan is an excellent surgeon with an incredibly rare, unhurried bedside manner. At every appointment, he takes the the time to explain things till I was satisfied.
