Dr. Tristani Firouzi was terrific. She listened to me carefully, expressed both understanding and concern, immediately proposed treatment, and was able to perform the procedure on the spot. I could not have asked for anything more.

I really like Dr Tristani, she is very professional and personable. With each successive treatment I think my rosacea is getting under control. Yea! She also detected some pre-cancer, so I am very appreciative, because I will get that taken care of as well.
