I believe in ​“patient-cen­tered” med­i­cine. My goal is to pro­vide an out­stand­ing endocrinol­o­gy ser­vice at which each and every patient is viewed as a unique indi­vid­ual whose treat­ment should revolve around his or her unique health­care needs and per­son­al­ized goals. Such ser­vice, when com­bined with med­ical deci­sions based on the patient’s pref­er­ences and up-to-date sci­en­tif­ic research, pro­vides the great­est outcomes.

Qual­i­ty mat­ters when it comes to sup­ple­ments. Whether you’re new or expe­ri­enced with sup­ple­ments, trust­ed, qual­i­ty options can sup­port your immu­ni­ty, heart health, and nutri­ent intake. Duly has part­nered with Fullscript, offer­ing access to high-qual­i­ty sup­ple­ments deliv­ered direct­ly to your door. Ask your provider about Fullscript and our exclu­sive dis­counts at your next visit.

"As an attorney, I am very much into effective communication. I believe that involves listening as much as it does speaking. During my visit, I didn't appreciate the Dr.'s launching into his perception of why I was there or whether I needed to come back. I had to interject to be sure my questions were heard and answered, and that the specific reason for my visit was addressed. I think perhaps there was some initial assumption that it was my first visit to an endocrinology office/that I needed basic level help understanding my health condition. A simple, initial question about the reason for my visit might've helped eliminate the need to assume. And then actually listening to my response and my concerns more might've been more helpful. On a positive note, however, I do believe Dr. Pazooki ultimately did his best to address my specific questions and concerns after I made a point to have him pause to focus on my questions. Moreover, I found that although his opinions about my condition and the associated medications were pretty subjective/biased, he seemed genuinely interested in giving me perspective on my condition and treatment that other health care providers may not. For example, he didn't try to over diagnose me just to make more money from future visits, and he didn't try to push medication for the sake of making his practice or pharmaceutical companies money. He explained to me about my current meds in a way that made me feel I could make my own choices. Also, in his defense, every physician offers biased opinions - influenced by their own research and patient experience. None of them have completely objective recommendations, so I think he was giving me information he's found to be true and helpful based on personal and patient experience, as well as his own research."
