Love that he explains things clearly
He is the best! Very concerned and willing to help your needs
Dr. Dasti was very professional, knowledgeable and personal. If I needed surgery he’d be the one but fortunately I’m not ready or in enough pain. Hopefully he will still be performing when I am ready! Staff was great as well.
Excellent care. Very informative and professional
Dr Dasti, help me so much with my shoulder surgery. No pain whatsoever, which I was so scared of and he listens to what you say and has a great personality. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
He’s the best!
Doc was thorough, compassionate and patient..
I had reverse shoulder replacements on both my shoulders. I never had any pain after surgery and had a great pain free recovery. I highly recommend Dr Dasti for shoulder replacement.
Extremely caring and professional
He was clear, explained my options to me, and gave me lots of time to process him information. He answered my questions patiently and speaking with him “normalized” my issue, which was calming to me. He is also very personable.
