"I love Dr Arastu’s warmth and down to earth manner!"
"I have history of cancer in my family and so knew that I would likely need to start preventative screenings earlier than many people. Dr. Arastu listed to my family history and suggested a proactive approach to make sure we are watching as closely as we can, for which I was grateful, including my first colonoscopy, and also recommended an MRI and genetic testing. I appreciate her listening to my concerns about everything and her communication the day of the procedure, both before and afterwards. I am already recommending her to friends and coworkers. I also had an all woman team for my procedure, which I just loved."

"Dr. Arastu is an amazing care provider. She is patient and an excellent listener. As a recent breast cancer patient, I appreciated her compassion and empathy. She understood my anxiety at yet another screening and allayed my concerns.
