"Dr Naurbakhsh continues to be the most friendly, empathetic and optimistic physician I have who listens to me. (This may seem besides the point, but even the details of her appearance in clothing, or meticulously cared for nails, presents to me a well polished professional. It creates a certain patient confidence because I think her natural attention to details carries over when observing and diagnosing me as a patient, i.e., looking for subtle symptoms and/or writing the details in clinical notes). Maybe theory . . . but I'm just stating what I've observed."
