Dr. Amin has been my family doctor for over 30 years. He was also my doctor of choice when my children were growing up. Dr. Amin is extremely caring and compassionate. He isn’t rushed with his patients which is extremely rare with doctors and always makes his patient feel cared for. I highly recommend Dr. Amin to everyone. Lynn Newton
