Western medicine provided limited relief after taking two strong antibiotics for a week for each diverticulitis episode. Thanks to my kind neighbor who suggested I consider a more holistic approach, she recommended Dr. Ko. After a thorough initial consultation, we began a series of treatments. Within a week, I was already experiencing less pain without taking any antibiotics. I continued seeing Dr. Ko for nine months which reduced inflammation and strengthened my digestive system to help prevent future flare-ups. I now have a healthy quality of life. Many thanks go to Dr. Ko and his awesome staff for their wonderful services, special care and attention. I highly recommend Dr. Ko!

I was referred by an attorney on a lien after being in a major car accident, that wasn't due to anything I had control over. Upon meeting him i advised him of past experiences with opiates and my concern that was met with a standoffish stance from Naveed, only speaking my truth. I didn't ask for medication. After going through the motions on my end with epidurals with Naveed, I had a surgery at Tova with an outside surgeon. I was advised by my designated post surgery guardian that while in the waiting room, a conversation between Mr. Natanzi and the surgeon was clearly overheard. Which in accordance with HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR 164.510(b) isn't legal. Mr. Natanzi was asked by the surgeon what he should prescribe me, to which Mr. Natanzi stated "Don't, he's a drug addict". Which was all heard from the waiting room in the lobby of Tova Surgical Center. A phone conversation was had between Mr. Natanzi and myself upon hearing of this which is vehemently denied ever occurring. Mr.Natanzi called back 20 minutes following the initial denial, apologizing saying he shouldn't have said the above statement. With that being said, this is 30 minutes upon leaving the center, post surgery. If anybody has a question, this should be all you need to see about the type of care expressed by Mr. Natanzi.

In every single one of our encounters he has gone so far above and beyond what was expected, because he genuinely cares. Truly, there's nothing else one could ask for in a medical practitioner. I'd recommend any family member, friend, and of course many strangers on the internet to the care of Dr. Nassiri. He is the doctor who you want on your side when you're in pain.

If you live with chronic pain in the current climate, it can be impossible to get long-term help or get compassionate care. But Dr. Root will and can help.

There are not enough kind words to explain how much they have helped me live a full and happy life beyond my condition.
