“Good Doctor”

I had been experiencing symptoms of low thyroid function which included feeling tired and exhausted all the time, wanted to sleep and was gaining weight. I went to Dr. Shafipour at my worst. I was very impressed with his attention to details and explanation of my treatment options. A quick blood test, some nutritional suggestions and prescription for a natural product and I am back to being myself. I can't thank you enough....... and my 2 little boys would like to thank you too because I have the energy to keep up with them again.
