I've been seeing Dr Dasti for years now and he is amazing. He has a great bedside manner and takes his time with you. I moved 2 hours away yet still continue to see him. The surgery he did on my shoulder was miraculous. I was in intense pain for 2 years and couldn't use my arm. Dr after Dr couldn't help me until I saw Dr Dasti.
