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.

This office is short staffed. The waiting time averages 2 to 4 hours. Medication refills and referrakk on s are delayed. Long hold time on the phone and answering service in the afternoon. Follow up of referrals and procedure reports are delayed.

Checked into Dr. Jafari's office, and then was called 45 minutes later to be told he left to do emergency surgery. Dr. Jafari does not perform life threatening surgeries. We have waited weeks to get an appointment only to be rescheduled. Poor 1st impression of Dr. Jafari's practice. Still have yet to see how his competency is as a cardiologist.

WOULD HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. My grandmother has had a terrible time as his patient. The doctor is always unreachable, so much that even our local pharmacy told us they can never reach him, the ladies at the office are rude and so bad at communication. It's just ridiculously upsetting. I am also shocked at how obvious it is that they don't care about my grandmother as a patient. And apparently my grandma isn't the only one. We will be switching doctors soon because we've had enough.

DR J IS GREAT. WHEN I NEEDED A CAROTID ULTRASOUND TO RULE OUT BLOCKAGE, HE CALLED ME PERSONALLY. TURNS OUT I DID HAVE A BLOCKAGE AND NEEDED SURGERY. HE'S VERY GENUINE AND PERSONABLE.

Waited for 30 plus minutes for each appointment. Jafari unfriendly and short. Did not explain why he was prescribing the meds he was prescribing. When questioned answers were short and sweet. He doesn't present like he cares about the patient. Office manager was EXTREMELY unfriendly and difficult. When I made the decision to change doctors and needed to obtain my records from this office, I got no where! This office needs to consider major changes when it comes to patient respect.
