    Dr Rahbari-Oskoui is truly brilliant. His discussion with me was the most erudite and excellent discussion I have ever had with a physician about my health problem, and his treatment is dead-on. I loveit that he a researcher, as well as a compassionate and excellent physician-in this case THE researcher for the drug be recommended based on sound evidence, which he presented. I LOVE Emory physicians and have worked with them for 45 years as a professor and dean, but this one is right at the top.
