I really appreciate that Dr. Khalfayan doesn’t dismiss me because I am a 59 year old woman. He takes the time to answer my questions in detail and discusses all options available to me.

Every experience is a positive experience. Dr. Khalfayan is always professional and offers further interventions to help advance your recovery. Always a pleasant follow up and will recommend OPA and Dr. Khalfayan to anyone. The new PA Nikki was nice to meet and thorough. Seems to be a good addition to the team.

Outstanding diagnosis through his expert examination. Went through two other doctors before who gave me poor advice concerning my knee but yet wanted to perform a full knee replacement without fully understanding and examining my condition. Dr Khalfayan is personal and relatable and an expert in the orthopedic field!!

I had a great experience with Dr. Khalfayan during my shoulder MRI exam. He was professional, knowledgeable and found issues that others had missed in the MRI. He took the time to explain my results thoroughly. He answered all my questions and made sure I understood my diagnosis and treatment options. His expertise and compassionate approach put me at ease and gave me confidence in my care. I highly recommend Dr Khalfayan to anyone in need of a skilled and caring specialist!
