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.

He seemed in a hurry. Was a total of maybe 5-10 mins. Everything was so fast. I understand time is limited. But, First time patient and money spent. I was not impressed. Futher test to come maybe it will become a working dr patient relationship.

Dr. Haghighat has a GOD complex I have had heart problems for 20 years and have never had a Dr. that is so unprofessional. He did a heart catheter on me and said there was a vein that was 85% blocked that he didn’t stent and when I questioned why he didn’t stent it he blew up on me and said he was the boss not me even though I’m the one paying him and is my body very unprofessional. He did referred me to get second opinion. Then his nurse called me a few months later to see if I was going to follow up and I told her not with Haghighat and she said there were other doctors in the office and I told her to let me talk to my wife. My wife called to see about some refills for medication and she said I was no longer a patient and my wife asked about him seeing another Dr. in the group and she said that, that wasn’t allowed when she had told me there were other Dr.’s in the group so don’t understand how they can do this as also I have a pacemaker that is linked to their office so if I have any issues they will contact me but they also had disconnected that so now no one can read my pacemaker which I know I’ve been have heart palpitations but I cannot find out anything because no Dr. is linked to it to see what’s going on. I thought Dr.’s took an oath to help people. I wouldn’t never recommend this Dr. to anyone because you’re not allowed an opinion his is the only one that matters

Health Problem Visit
I was able to get a quick appointment due to problems I was having. I had a short wait. Everyone was very kind and Dr Haghighat was kind and thorough. He reassured me it wasn't what I thought it was but ordered testing to find the culprit. Always a 5 for me.

yearly visit, check up
Timely check in for 8:10 appointment, did not get called back until 8:30 and didn't see doctor until 9:15. I thought this was too long for an 8:10 appointment, almost 2 hours from my arrival time.
