About Us

“I have known Dr. Johari and his team for many years, through good times and bad. Kirsten, Jeiry and the good doctor have always been there to lift me up with compassionate care when I've been riddled with despair. My anxiety can make me obsessive, but the doctor and his team have always calmed me with patience and kindness. They are a remarkable team of caregivers who develop a close, positive bond with their patients. I thank them for giving me my life back.”
