I had a wonderful physician she was patient, thorough, and understanding.
Dr. Hafezi is a dream. I have been to see her twice, and, each time, I leave feeling better than when I arrived. She is the first doctor I have had who explains things without being prompted, and spends more time on the appointment than I expect. I found that I thought the appointment was finished a couple times, only to have her ask me some more questions or give additional information, in a very easy way. I feel incredibly comfortable around her, and feel that she really cares and has a great deal of expertise. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Hafezi, and look forward to continuing to work with her. She is friendly, easy to talk to, pays attention to details, asks great questions, and is just wonderful. She's a real asset to Stanford's system. I found myself happy the rest of the day, and telling my family how lucky I am to have her as my doctor.

I accompany my friend because English is our second language. The doctor was very patient with my friend's questions. Explained them very clearly and in detail. She is a nice and kind doctor.
Personally I recommend the doctor she really cares about her patients. I wish all the doctor's be like her.
Best ever! Always explains everything without me asking questions and when i do ask something she always takes the time to explain things. Have never felt rushed here.

Always feel like i can talk to her on a personal level. Love her :)
I've had "bad luck" with previous providers. Dr. made me feel like I was being listened to, she knew I came in under a sensitive issue and I never felt discourages, rushed or ignored. She was clear with explanations and setting up a follow-up. For the first time ever I feel happy about who is caring for my health and needs.
My physician is very knowledgeable and she described everything in detail for me.
