Dr. Pedram Hamrah is a brilliant doctor. Dr. Hamrah was like the real-life version of the television character Dr. House, who combined his diagnostic and medical expertise to solve the most complex patient cases. He spent an hour with my daughter listening to her medical history, social background, and living environment, and related to her as a whole person. He attentively listened to her story first before examining her. His multidisciplinary team of doctors told her several times that she was fated to live in intractable pain because of neurologic damage in her ocular nerves. As they had no new ideas for managing her pain and offered her a bleak future, I promised her I would find a doctor who could help her, which turned out to be Dr. Hamrah. I am very emotional when I visualize her first visit with Dr. Hamrah. With his new and accurate diagnosis, he kindly reassured her that she could manage her pain and expect to pursue purposeful and enjoyable activities with time.
