Looking for and finding a good doctor is kind of like hunting for and locating a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Needing a General Practitioner, we persevered in our search and are so lucky to have found a pot of gold in the form of Dr. Manoj Aswani at Arroyo Oaks Medical Group in Thousand Oaks several years ago.
My husband and I feel that Dr. Aswani epitomizes "excellence" as far as a physician is concerned. He's very knowledgeable, patient, kind, a great listener, and has a wonderful way of explaining the "whats" and "whys" of any treatments that may be necessary. One of the things I especially appreciate is his way of making me feel that I'm important, and that my concerns are legitimate. My husband is in 100% agreement.
Another definite plus is Dr. Aswani's nurse, Jenn. She, too, is an excellent example of what a person in the medical field should be. She's friendly, pleasant, helpful, knows exactly what she's doing and extremely efficient. There's never been a time that she hasn't returned a phone call, which is amazing, considering the patient load.
They're a great team, and I/we recommend them highly.
I also want to mention the front office staff, since they're the first people we see when we sign in, and they're so important. Over the years we've come to know Veronica, who always has a smile and a special greeting for us. She never misses a beat or loses her cool as she deals with the constant phone calls, paperwork and forms, booking follow-up appointments and questions from patients.
Suffice it to say, we're happy! read more
