She is extremely hardworking and dedicated to patient care. And she has really worked very hard to try to tease out what I have with the issues that I'm presenting. And she's willing to collaborate with other physicians to get some outside input.

Dr. Kouhsari has been a great doctor so far. I've got nothing but great things to say about her, her professionalism, and the way she goes about dealing with me as a patient. It's been a great experience for two years for a not so great diagnosis. Yeah, I would 100% recommend her and her entire staff. They've been absolutely brilliant.

There was a scheduling error that didn't allow for the time frame of an initial visit but Dr Kouhsari gave us all her attention to complete the session. During the visit the doctor listened attentively, explained thoroughly, even showed us a quick video clip, made recommendations and scheduled testing. We feel blessed to call her our doctor .

There was some confusion about whether I was seeing the Doctor or their resident. I think there might be some clarification needed in the system?

For some reason, without my knowledge or my Doctor's knowledge my appointment was canceled. However, the clerk at the front desk and my doctor worked to fit me in. It was very generous of Dr. Montaser to stay late for me. I really appreciate it. I have an hour and a half drive to get there from my home and so three hours on the road for nothing would have been really frustrating to say the least.
