Then he proposed a set of lab exams, for which he has very affordable prices negotiated with independent labs. Finally we had a very detailed on line review and he suggested very specific course of actions.Nowadays is very difficult to find a professional like him, with such a very good background in studies and practices at re known org like MD Anderson, that are dedicated to help patients as independent practice. I am pleased I found Dr Kanji. I truly recommend his as your first choice! read less

First, the 15 minute initial online consultation allowed me to understand wether he was the Dr. I was looking for. Then, during the in-person consultation, Dr. Kanji was very personable and took the time to understand the reason why I was there and my concerns. He also spent quite a bit of time getting to know me. I appreciate this very much, as this is rare in doctors nowadays. Only with a personal consultation, you will be able to get personal treatment tailored to you, instead of a standard recipe. Would recommend Dr. Kanji to anyone. read less
