DR. IMAN HEMMATI REVIEWS
I met with Dr Hemmati yesterday for my first appointment. He was approachable, thoughtful, and interested in my symptoms and assessing my swollen joint. He called for follow up tests before he made a firm diagnosis which was reassuring. He made me feel we were working together to get a obtain a robust assessment of my joint issues. He offered immediate treatment to reduce pain and swellling and two follow up appointments. I was very pleased with his approach, diligence and planned follow up. I am really happy I found him.
Dr. Hemmati is great! He was the one to figure out what was going on with me, and made the final diagnosis. He’s young and very knowledgeable, he knows what he is doing. It’s always a pleasure to meet with him in office or speak to him over the phone. You can tell her really cares about his patients. Thank you Dr. Hemmati and staff; you are all wonderful!!
I have been going to Dr. Hemmati for about 3 years after meeting him at St. Paul's emergency when I needed a cortisol shot in the late evening for an effusive knee. He is so great. Really patient and calm. Very present when you are meeting with him. Demonstrates that he really cares about your whole health situation, and asks very useful questions about your reaction to medication as well as lifestyle changes, weight loss etc. As someone who sees a lot of doctors I can say that Dr. Hemmati is among the best. I hope we never lose him.
