A Patient at Rush - Jan 2026
Dr. Farnaz was very professional, explained everything about what what she was about to do before she began any tasks and always asked if I understood and if I agreed before proceeding. She asked many questions of me about my health and repeatedly asked if there were any other concerns that she could address for me. I will tell others (including my PCP) about my visit here and recommend Rush for services. Thank You.

Dr. Shariati is fantastic. She explained what I need to do for my condition and told me what I would expect during a test that she had ordered.I felt that I could ask her anything and she would answer my questions with clarity. Not only Is Dr. Shariati brilliant, she Is very kind.
