Dr. Houman Khakpour is a very nice, approachable, kind, friendly and knowledgeable doctor. He was my doctor for my Pacemaker Implant in 2019 until as of now and I’ve been seeing him in every scheduled appointments since then. I’m so lucky to be one of his ongoing patient and I’m very satisfied with his excellent services to me. More power unto him!!!
