"I am new to the province (65 years of age / male), needed to find a PCP and get a medical. I selected the SMC Health Center for proximity and was intrigued by the model in Dr Zamanpour's practice where 1st and 2nd year Residents participate in the care appointment.\n\nI had an initial consultation with Dr Zamanpour and an R2 (2nd year resident) in May and then went for my medical Monday of this week. I was first attended to Dr Tsai (R2) who spent ~40 mins with me going over my out of country med records, a detailed discussion of health supplements (\"add vitamin D, drop CoQ10 and Fish Oil, cut back on aspirin dosage\" etc), then my medial exam with detailed look at a bursitis problem / mobility. After Dr Tsai's exam Dr Zamanpour joined us and we spent another 15 mins in consultation answering all my questions\n\nI am very pleased with the process and level of involvement by Dr Tsai and Dr Zamanpour. It is obvious the R1/R2s are up on the leading studies and medical journals, as a result the process is very educational for the patient. Compared to my experience in the USA where an annual medical is a 15 min perfunctory exercise this is very refreshing. I can highly recommend the model and specifically this office. \n\nRandy H"^^ .
