Nutrition for Weight Loss Explained
Obesity and being overweight are the top medical issues affecting most Americans. Oftentimes, obesity and being overweight are associated with comorbid conditions such as diabetes, hypertension (elevated blood pressure), and dyslipidemia (abnormally high cholesterol levels). All of these are the major risk factors for coronary artery disease and cardiovascular disease in general.
Our weight management program therefore

What our clients
say about us
Dr Kafri and his staff are very caring. They are also a full service office that performs almost all the tests that are necessary. I've been having a very particular problem that Dr Kafri is determined to solve. I've been coming here since 2022.
The staff is amazing. They took great care of me and made sure I was comfortable through all my procedures. Felt like the staff really cares about making sure I had the best possible experience. Thank you
Dr. Kafri and his staff are by far the best medical staff I have experienced. The front desk is always so pleasant. I would rate way more than 5 stars if I was able to. Thank you Kafri Heart and Vascular Clinic.
I had a good experience. Everyone was professional and kind. They gave me hope that I can go on hikes and walk my dog again.
I had a great experience with staff and doctor I did not have to wait a long time and the staff was very professional in doing there jobs looking forward to my next visit!
Very professional office setting and staff. As a new patient I was greeted warmly, staff proficiently checked my vitals, EKG, reviewed meds which prepared Nurse Practicioner Kim (who was great -- 5 stars) to review my prious ultrasound, and performed the cardio exam. Kim was effecient, actively listened, was a clear communicator, and addressed my concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Kafri Heart Vascular Clinic.
All of the Staff at the office including Dr. Kafri are Very professional and during all of my procedures they have done everything they can to make them comfortable...Definetly incredible!..So Happy I was placed in their care for my Veins!😊...Thank you all!
All the staff were very helpful, patient, and friendly. They were also very accommodating with honoring my request to wait 5 minutes before taking my blood pressure so I could relax a bit to ensure a more accurate blood pressure reading. I REALLY appreciate that! 😊💜
I had a ball with the person who interviewed me, he has a great personality. Dr. Yoa was super and he has a great listening skill. I felt very good about his attention and responses. I left knowing, all about my future care and what's happening now. Way to go all. From the first person, to the last person I spoke with, the staff was the friendly, organized, and the doctor super, so my visit was amazing! Thank you!
