    How was your appointment with Dr. Ghaemmaghami?

    Jun 24, 2022
    I only checked five stars because I couldn't give ten. This doctor is a true professional who I highly recommend. Scheduling and courtesy of his staff was top notch. While sitting in the waiting room Dr. G personally came out and escorted me to his office for the consult. How rare is that? He spent almost 90 minutes with me going from A to Z, reviewed my MRI results and performed a physical exam. Immediately put together a plan of action that included blood work and a colonoscopy that he scheduled and personally performed eight days later. DRE, blood work and colonoscopy samples all indicated negative for malignancy. Doctor G instincts told him there was more to the rectal mass and he ordered core sample biopsies. Two weeks later we had that procedure and found a tumor that was moderately differentiated. Fortunately for me it was removed because of limited invasion. The man saved my life. I owe him a debt of gratitude and he has renewed my confidence in the system.
