AHMAD MAHALLATI, MD REVIEWS

I am Blessed that Dr. Mahallati is my transplant nephrologist. He is so knowledgeable, thorough and listens to my thoughts and questions well. He always comes to our appointments well prepared and is inclusive of my thoughts and wants in his medical decision making. Frankly I am spoiled by his passion for medicine and my wellbeing.

DR Mahallati has my ultimate respect and at this visit he was very reassuring that there was would be no further need for care. The VM Nephrologists saved my life with amazing care.

Dr Mahallati is one of the best I've ever encountered. The experience with him was wonderful.

ANNE PESENSON, MD, FASN REVIEWS

This fabulous doctor actually deserves 10 stars! My adult daughter needed dialysis 3 days a week while waiting for a kidney and liver transplant. There were so many obstacles to getting her on the list for these life saving transplants. Dr. Pesensen & her fabulous staff, including those at the NW Kidney Center in Fife, did everything they could to help us, feeding tube problems resolved, counselors for my daughter, emotional support for me (as my daughter's caregiver) providing necessary screening tests when we couldn't get them in a timely manner otherwise. And her consistent goal was to get our family whole again and out of the hell that is "waiting for a transplant." I will be forever indebted to this woman's supreme competence and kindness.

Dr. Anne Pesenson is an exceptional physician and nephrologist who worked diligently to arrive at a diagnosis of an unusual condition; even involving the Mayo Clinic. Arguably, without her treatment, I could well have had a catastrophic stroke. I am deeply grateful for every day I am alive and owe much of it to her.

Fantastic. Refreshing that you can still get such attentive and quick visits. Had several options for scheduling and got me in right away. Phones answered fast, front desk went out of their way- actually walked you the back- to get some info for X-rays. Dr was attentive, efficient and showed concern. Got fast call back on results.

PARIS A. BARKAN, MD REVIEWS

Dr. Barkan had reviewed my chart and took her time and discussed my concerns with me and gave me her advice in a very clear and understandable way. I was very pleased with the consultation. I would highly recommend her.

Dr Barkin was very professional and answered / explained my concerns in words that I could understand. I am pleased that I was able to see Dr Barkin who will be my nephrologist in the future.

Dr. Barkan provided excellent care. Wait time was minimal. She was a good listener, she Is very knowledgeable and I felt like I was in very good hands.
