I saw Dr Azmi for a botched neuro stimulator battery change after 20 yrs with neuro stim and first botched surgery. Upon seeing him I was really amazed at his knowledge. Without my even mentioning anything he saw my x-rays and named the hardware in my body which clearly showed me he knew what he was doing instantly!
He assured me that everything would be fixed and he would do right by me.
His bedside manner is so calming very namaste. He takes time to listen to his patient’s concerns and questions answering them knowledgeably. He is through and precise in his approach and responses making sure you clearly understand what the plan of care is.
His office staff is AMAZING! Rocio came in immediately following visit and informed me my surgery would be within 1.5 wks which is such a relief due to the extreme pain I am in. Sending me an email with every possible detail for my surgery including making appointments for my presurgical testing!
I have NEVER had an experience like this with ANY medical
profession and was truly amazed at the quality of care I received!
The experience i had with Dr Azmi and his staff was beyond my wildest dreams! I have yet to meet a doctor that has made me feel so comfortable and at ease he is a true gift to the medical profession!
Thank you Dr. Azmi for what you do for people like me that need people like you ❤️🙏🏻

Michael B.

I was treated by Dr. Azmi for essential tremor. I have had my first treatment about a month ago. Throughout this process, Dr. Azmi and his staff kept me fully informed of what to expect. The procedure is not easy, but like some of the videos seen online, I also became very emotional after the procedure when I was able to bring a cup to my mouth as well as being able to sign my name. I was not able to do both for about 7 or 8 years. In 9 months or so I will have my other hand treated. Even though the procedure is a tough one to endure, I know Dr. Azmi and his staff will do everything they can to get me through it where I will have much better use of both hands. Thank you all so much!
