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.
Great doctor
He is so willing to give me information about future surgery and answer all my questions. I believe that the more information a patient has, the better they feel about their care
Overflowing with knowledge that he graciously shares. Embodies confidence and wisdom along with heaps of kindness. A very positive experience!
Dr Dasti was very straight forward with his answers to all my questions . I feel confident going forward with my diagnosis……
Great physician! Very caring and very wise-chose the most appropriate surgery for me. It turned out beautifully!
Excellent doctor with great attention to detail
