I wasn't quite sure if all of the great reviews were true; I didn't see anything outside of how amazing Ethos was which made me a tad nervous. I am here to say that I had the best experience I have ever had with a doctor. Dr. Kanji and the young lady who assists was so pleasant and professional. Dr. Kanji was the first Doctor Who actually actively listened to my concerns and had a real conversation with me. I wish the practice expanded over multiple practice areas because I would prefer to only go to Ethos. I can't say enough good things about my experience. When you walk into the office, you are met by a servant spirit. The calmness you feel lets you know that they are truly here to to help and you don't find that when it comes to doctors. read lessKatelyn Kellner11/17/2022Dr Kanji was the first doctor I had went to for my hypothyroidism that actually did a super thorough evaluation and listened to all my symptoms.

I was beginning to think living with hypothyroidism was just a dismal outlook in general and there was no feeling better, despite me taking the medication my primary care prescribed. He was able to tweak my dosage to tailor it better for me and I’m so grateful for him for it! I feel more energetic and clear-headed. It’s crazy what a tiny dose adjustment can do.

As a senior citizen who does not yet have Health insurance… To find a practice that is not charging exorbitant out of pocket prices is a rarity… to find a practice who gives such kind, compassionate and un hurried care ALSO ——is pretty much a miracle in my experience.

He is open to suggestions regarding best plan of treatment and in no way becomes offended if you choose not to proceed in his suggested direction.

I cannot recommend Dr. Kanji enough.He listened to all of my concerns, entire medical history, and was overall incredibly attentive and professional. He took the time to give me a full education on the function of the thyroid which was illuminating. He asked me a lot of questions, I was so very impressed by the conscious effort he made to ensure I was heard and understood. His prices are incredible reasonable, which is how someone like me - working class and without health insurance - was able to afford his services. I can see the intention behind his practice - to provide affordable healthcare to those in need.He relieved me of a decade-long anxiety that I’ve had about my health. I am incredibly thankful for this service. read less
