“Dr.Erfanian is a great doctor. He was real informative, very help and honest. He was definitely looking out for my best interest. He prepared me for surgery and was very exact on what he would be doing in every situation of surgery. His staff is amazing they were very polite and kept me informed on everything that was going on. They went above and beyond to help me work with my insurance who had no clue what was going on. They kept it professional and was determined to insure that my insurance did everything that had to to ensure my procedure was performed. His P.A. even wrote a letter to my VA representative at the University of Phoenix informing them of my injury and why I missed school. It was very helpful and kept me from getting dropped from my class or failing that class.”

Very professional, caring, and accommodating for my needs and schedule.”

“Great experience! He explained my diagnosis and treatment options. He took the time and made sure I understood and that all my questions were answered. I was absolutely miserable before surgery. My hand/finger pain and numbness was 24 hours a day. I couldn't take care of my household. It was extremely hard to work and almost impossible to sleep. Nothing I did relieved the pain. The office was great to work with me and was able to schedule me quickly for carpal tunnel surgery. OH HAPPY DAY! I have the use of my hand back. I have no numbness or pain in my fingers. I am able work, sleep and most importantly, I am able care for my family with no pain. I am very grateful for Dr. Erfanian and his excellent staff.”
