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.

Dr Saifi is the best Dr I've had in my life.
His compassion is like none I've experienced. He explains my conditions in a way that I can understand. He gives me peace of mind.

I'm so happy my neighbor and dear friend recommended Dr. Saifi when I moved to Clearwater in 2009. For such a busy man, he has an amazing way of talking with you as though he has all the time in the world. And by his questions and comments, you know you've been heard. He also has an incredible memory - it's almost as though he has memorized my chart and procedures over the years, along with my mother's and my husband's! If he doesn't have an answer, he will dig around until he finds it - an important part of being a great diagnostician. I sure hope he clones himself before having any thoughts of retiring!

A very caring and knowledgeable Dr. Doesn't rush you and is very concerned about your well being. I thought when Dr. Iqbal retired I'd have to look elsewhere but I'm very pleased with Dr. Saifi and his staff.

Excellent Doctor. Looks at the whole picture when diagnosing. Always up to date on the latest procedures and news. Takes him time, is very personal, remembers conversations and previous therapies. I can’t think of anything that would need attention in regards to the Doctor- best on the West Coast. Pat, in the Lab also deserves a shout out. Excellent and personable. As for the Staff- I am now still waiting- again- for prescriptions to be sent to the Pharmacy. Very frustrating. Trying to get someone to call you back is also a challenge. Not sure of the issue, but needs to be resolved.

I was a patient of Dr. Saifi for a total of 10 years, interrupted, since 1996. Every time my wife and I moved back to Pinellas County, we both used him as our PCP, and we will miss him now that we’re back in Jacksonville (for other reasons). I’m still keeping his office and fax numbers in my contact list!

There's one thing when you have a Dr and there's another when you have a Dr that Cares and is not there to just take all your money from your insurance company making you go get unnecessary exams or unnecessary appts! he is the best doctor I have ever had he identified my problem and explained in details to where i felt I was learning about my own body after adult hood in college I was very well educated with my problems and he helped me find a solution to help my problems I am very happy there!

Dr. Saifi was very helpful answering all my questions, getting everything i needed done. The office visit was very easy and did not wait longer than 5 minutes before i was called in. Very clean office and organized. Staff are friendly as well. I highly recommend Dr. Saifi's practice to anyone that needs a family doctor.
