Dr. Khalfayan has performed two surgeries on our teenage son for baseball-related elbow and knee injuries, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his care. His expertise is outstanding, and it’s clear he truly enjoys what he does. Most importantly, he genuinely cares about his patients. We felt supported every step of the way, and our son is healing beautifully. We highly recommend Dr. Khalfayan.
