This visit felt different to me - in the past he had felt more patient, explaining things in detail and listening more closely to what I was saying. During this appointment however, it felt rushed. I don't feel that he was listening to what I had to say, but was rather trying to check things off of a checklist or complete a form. In the after notes, he listed things we did not discuss and with directions that I did not agree to do. He also said he would send me additional information following the appointment but what he sent he had already given to me after the first visit. It felt very mis attuned.

Dr. Vakani is the most wonderful doctor I have ever met. He really cares about his patients. He's a very good listener and you can open up to him because he doesn't judge you, which means you will be honest about your health concerns. I recommend him to my neighbors and friends whenever the opportunity arises.

The doctor personally called me to discuss a matter with my appointment. I was very impressed that the doctor took the time to contact me himself as opposed to writing a message or having his nurse contact me. The care I have received from this physician has been exemplary. Thank you for having Dr. Vakani on staff. He Is an excellent example of the world class care that Cedars-Sinai provides.

Already recommended Dr. Vakani to someone. He has excellent "bed side manners." Smart, thorough, concerned, listens attentively to my questions, explaining everything. Discusses all possible treatment plans together before formulating most optimal one. Consulted with one of my other physicians which benefited all 3 of us.
