Dr. Kashani is kind, careful, thorough. I never worry about whether or not he is giving me the best possible medical advice. He remains open to my concerns and my decisions, and works closely with me to find mutual agreement about best outcomes and best ways forward. He is a true gem. UCLA is lucky to have him.
