Always a very pleasant experience
Dr. Rahman is a superb physician
Excellent communication skills from everyone. I arrived early for my appointment and was seen early. I received a follow up from call from the Derm Resident as well.
Much more efficient visit this time. I was out in 30-min vs more than an hour.
I’d like to be anle to see and be treated by dr rahman. She is a very patient teacher but her experience and technique is so much better than her students, it would be nice to see just her.
Excellent doctor !! Assisting doctor was amazing too . Polite and very clear and respectful .
on time and excellent care

I was so cared for emotionally and physically by Dr Rahman and her assistant Dr Moses. They were attentive, kind and caring and highly skilled.
Dr. Rahman and Dr. Lucy Lui care very much and take time to answer all your questions.
She is caring & knowledgeable & clear communicator. I came in for spider veins and it would have been nice if she had provided an overview of all treatment options, describing the pros & cons. She told me about laser options b/c it is her area of expertise but other options are also available.
She was in and out REALLY fast. I thought she might be more engaged in my care. Talk abut alternatives, things that may or may not be right for a patient like me.
Dr. Janett NG and Dr. Rahman were very nice and answered all my concerns and was able to provide additional immediate remedies, love.
