Dr. Mamoud Eslami truly stands out among doctors. My 91-year-old mother has been his patient for nearly 3 years. He has treated her through three episodes of heart failure. When her first cardiologist said it was too risky to do any surgery, Dr. Eslami had the confidence, competence and compassion to insert stents to open up her blocked heart. He has always been honest and direct about the risks and expectations. If not for Dr. Eslami, it is doubtful that my Mom would be here today.
