Dr. Khalfayan was kind, professional, and carried a humble sense of humor that instantly put me at ease. I came in feeling nervous about a possible injury, but he quickly reassured me through his calm demeanor and clear communication. He was efficient yet thorough, making sure I felt heard and understood. I left with a clear plan for the next steps and complete confidence in his care.
