To reiterate what another previous patient said, once you have your first appointment with this doctor you’ll never hear from him again. I was so positively surprised when I spoke to him during our first meeting because I was met with kindness, understanding, he had a breadth of knowledge, was non judgemental, had a game plan for testing and what I’d take in the mean time. He also sends you info sheets so which is incredible idea in patient education. The most professional. Unfortunately the prescription antihistamine he put me on started causing severe chest pain and like palpitations or quick changes in heart rhythm. The chest pain radiates to my upper back and down my left side. I don’t personally have any cardiac history, however I have a family history of heart attacks at a young age including one of my parents. I called the pharmacist first who told me to stop it immediately and try to speak with my doctor as this could be a side effect (long QT prolongation). After leaving messages at their office, I never heard anything. So I obviously stopped taking it, but what if I had/have a major cardiac event and with no advise, kept taking it? All I needed was a quick phone call from the receptionist to say, “hey, he said stop it - wait until your next appointment with him to discuss other options.” It’s too bad that doctors take on more patients than they can follow up with. I can’t really blame him, he’s obviously excellent and just can’t keep up with the demand. But as a patient with chronic illness, it’s tough when you hit road blocks constantly in your care perpetuating a hopelessness. We just want what can help us function like everyone else.

talked for 10 mins and ordered a blood test, tried nonstop for 2 months to get a follow up phone call that never came. Finally after nonstop issues that needed his assistance his receptionist said to send me elsewhere for an issue they don't deal with. What a waste of time, i got that impression of him in the first and only 10 min phone call I had with him.

Dr Kanani only tested me for two things I had already identified as potential allergens. I had hoped to find out if there were other things I am allergic to but it seems unless I had specific concerns, he wasn't testing for it.

My god, this was the most useless doctor's visit I have ever been to. Doctor was late even though I was the only person in the office apart from the receptionist. He was visibly in his office. When he greeted me and asked questions, he'd interrupt and talk over me without letting me finish half a sentence, I would literally say 3 words and he'd cut me off. Would ask the same question repeatedly-- back to back without listening to my answer or letting me finish speaking. Finally, he blamed my acrylic nails and lash extensions for the severe facial allergy I was experiencing. I AM ALLERGIC TO POLYESTER AND NYLON!!!! The most COMMON fabrics that are in everything from pillows to blankets to throws, headbands, towels, pillow protectors and casings, masks, and everything else. Blankets and pillows touch my face and rub on my skin. My nails and lashes are not in contact with my skin. If I touch my face, it is for SECONDS and has never elicited a reaction. Pillows and blankets touch my face for HOURS while I sleep or lounge on the sofa. I'm not a doctor but was able to make this connection after repeated exposure and only on certain areas of my face. Polyester, where it touches, leaves a red mark with swelling. So does nylon (masks). it is unbelievable how unhelpful this person was. I got nothing out of this visit. Incredible that with his "years of experience" he could not rule out the most common fabric people are exposed to for extended periods of time. I know it's not my skincare or beauty products. 0/10
