Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly recommended
Dr. Barseghian is detail oriented and thorough. She’s also personable and responsive to questions.

I just don't understand how a medical assistant wear very long hair that are not in a ponytail. The long hair is definitely inappropriate in the medical setting. Also, it's not appropriate to have fake nails for nurses.

My only problem is that the office is so far away from ucimc and the parking is not easy to find; I had to go around the corner twice and ask a security guard where to enter to find the parking for the building. Also, it seems odd that you would choose offices for cardiology services in a building that is reachable primarily by a seven step staircase or a really long ramp.

Dr. Barseghian is the best! She took the time to go over all my tests, hear my concerns and gave her opinion on next steps. Would highly recommend her to anyone! I did however not care for her fellow, Dr. Wang. He was a bit pompous.

I hesitated on the referral recommendation because I have suggested Dr. Barseghian to a friend only to find he could not make an appointment for 6-9 months ahead. He needed more immediate attention.

There was a mix-up in my lab work. The office had said they had what they needed and they didn't. That's why my appointment didn't accomplish what I needed it to accomplish.

Sigh! This provider is taking on Dr. Dineen's patients but is not educated enough for integrative medicine and does not understand bio individuality. She is educated for mainstream cardiology and the older science around heredity. My mainstream, family cardiologist understands my unique microbiome, bio individuality and what is happening inside my body. I used lifestyle change and meditation to regulate blood pressure. The weight, cholesterol piece doesn't need a statin thrown at it. What needs to be tended to internally is the removal of mycotoxins, mold, inflammation, and fungi via an integrated approach and then we retest and then if there is still a problem we address it through multi modalities that work best in my body. Now I've been in my body 53 years. 50 years ago I experienced a significant trauma that factors in. None of this was discussed. She viewed one lab and suggested a couple of supplements and statins billed my insurance and I paid the copay. Weeded her out. Wasted time and money. I've got my team. They are educated. They work with me. I'm not a textbook I'm a person. UCI has a long way to go to meet me at the level of care I treat myself with.
