      Dr. Zehran is THE BEST oncologist we know and I'll fight anyone who says he isn't. Sir has been the ray of light any patient/ care taker will need to get through the gruesome treatment. All of our regular visits have given us so much strength even at times of bad news. I really have to mention that he understands your history so much that he actually only gives you what is absolutely necessary without scaring you and your care takers, and his entire team is hands on and very active anytime of the day which is such a blessing. Sir is one of the kindest and most compassionate doctors we have met through our journey and his sense of humor is just a huge bonus! Wishing him and his team only good luck in the years to come!

In addition to his medical expertise, Dr. Zehran fostered a positive and uplifting atmosphere during our visits. His ability to balance professionalism with a friendly and approachable demeanor allowed my mother to build trust and rapport, making each appointment feel like a visit to a caring friend rather than a medical consultation.
