“Dr. Fani is an amazing allergist! She's not just really smart, but she's also super friendly and easy to talk to. Whenever I have questions or concerns, she takes the time to explain everything in a way that makes sense to me.
I used to have really bad allergic reactions, but Dr. Fani has been a game-changer. She's been giving me allergy shots, and she knows exactly when it's the right time to adjust the dosage. I've had some scary moments in the past, but Dr. Fani's instincts are spot on. She makes me feel safe because she understands when it's okay to increase the concentration of the shots.
I really appreciate that she involves me in the decision-making process. We discuss my treatment plan together, and I feel like I have a say in what's happening with my allergies. It's nice to have a doctor who values my input.
If I ever need to reach out to her, she gets back to me quickly. Knowing that she's there to help gives me a lot of confidence in managing my allergies. I am grateful!”

January 24, 2023Nitin P.Verified patient
Dr Fani is amazing. She takes her time with you and also great at explaining how to administer medications. You can tell she is extremely passionate, great bedside manners. Wait time is not bad, but if there was, thats cause she wants to make sure each patient is getting the care they need and not rushing to the next. I wish all my doctors were like her.

She’s awesome
January 11, 2022Rene S.Verified patient
The doctor is an excellent listener and it was reflected in the questions she asked. The doctor explained her findings during the physical examination and also what the significance of the pulmonary function test was before and after an albuterol treatment. The treatment plan for my daughter was explained in terms I could understand and that made it easier for us to follow the plan.

Dr. Pauline is a great listener and gives all the information in detail. This is my first-time visit with the Doctor but I do not hesitate to give a recommendation to any of my friends based on what I experienced today. She is very vigilant on the plan and the clear path on what we expect during the treatment which is really useful for me.
