Dr Aminian helped my left ankle pain after 16 years of limited walking and visiting with several doctors who offered no solutions. He is an exceptional doctor with real human interest and care for his patients. I highly recommend him.

Review for Dr. Iafe

I saw this doctor in an urgent care clinic at LA County and he did more for me in that visit than my primary care doctor has done for me in years. I wish he could be my doctor! I asked, but he doesn’t have a primary care practice.
