I was super nervous about my appointment because in the past i’ve had doctors who don’t really offer much support when it comes to my concerns or health. Dr. Yushuva made me feel very welcome & comfortable. He was very understanding of my concerns & offered a couple options to help with my health. He was very informative. Autumn was also a sweetheart, she was very helpful & made me feel super comfortable. she made super i was taken care of. They are such a great staff.

Since visit a medical practice such as this can be embarrassing to say the least. I have to say that when Autumn (Nurse) came in she made the whole experience a lot easier to deal with. Then with Dr. Yushuva's calm and relaxing demeanor and his eagerness to explain what was going on so there was no questions unanswered. If I had to recommend a Doctor and a Nurse to best help in this area of the medical field. I would not think twice to speak of Dr. Yushuva and Autumn.

The staff was great! Dr Yushuva was very personable and explained everything completely. I would highly recommend this office for colonoscopy/colorectal care, especially if you are fearful.

Dr. Najafian is my surgeon, and I recommend him 100%. I was referred to him for a mass in my colon. On the day of my consult, he had me admitted to the hospital for surgery right away. He is very personable and encourages family members to be present for explanations of procedures and care. He is straight forward, yet kind. It has been a month since my surgery, and I have been steadily recovering. I am so grateful I was referred to Dr. Najafian.
