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 recommend the RFA procedure. Everything was so seamless and detailed from the first visit, explanation of the procedure, the attention to detail during the procedure and the staff. It was very easy to reach someone on the phone and the doctor’s bedside manner put me at ease and felt very comfortable the whole time. He was able to treat my nodule in one session, other doctors told me it would take several treatments, not sure why.

I saw doctor Allaei for plantar fasciitis. I had the option of surgery or doing the injection, I just couldn’t continue with this foot pain any longer. I had a total of two sessions and it really helped my pain immensely. I didn’t’ end up needing surgery. The procedure was simple, 30 minutes and no pain. The staff is great, very responsive.

Came to this doctor for my varicose veins. I had a procedure a while back using laser and my veins came back. The laser was painful and I liked that he uses a simpler method. All I felt was a numbing injection, it took maybe 30 minutes, no pain, completely different that other treatment. I had to wear compression socks for two weeks and now my pain is gone and no more socks needed. Would do it again 1000%

GAE helped my knee pain. The pain is not completely gone but much better than the injections I was getting that didn’t do anything. The doctor said I may need touch ups and I may have to go back in future but this is better than before and it was simple, no pain and recovery was one day. I had some soreness for a few days but no big deal. Since I do not want surgery this was my only hope. Thank you for offering this.

My previous surgery for a hydrocele didn’t work as the fluid returned and I did not want to go through that again. In my research to do something altnerative as I did not want to go through that again I read about sclerotherapy. Dr Allaei was a master of his skills, I did not feel anything, it was quick and not even a close comparison to what I went through with the surgery.

Very happy with my varicocele treatment, I was mostly awake but did not feel anything. I had no pain after but rested one day and was able to carry on with my errands the next day. Very simple compared to what I was told the surgery would involve. Definitely look into the embolisation option.

We couldn’t afford IVF and decided to give FTR an option, doctor said 50,50 chance and he was able to open both tubes. I couldn’t be happier as we got our first positive pregnancy test! Don’t give up hope.

Successful result for my spermatocele with the sclerotherapy. Dr Allaei is the only doctor that I found that does this treatment and luckily, I did not have to travel far as my cyst was small and urologists just kept saying to watch it but it was uncomfortable and I did not want to have surgery. I recommend checking out this option as it was super easy to get done.

After years of being told I needed to have a hysterectomy and never being told I had other options, I finally came across the embolization option. It is very disappointing that no other doctor mentioned this. When I met Dr Allaei he told me I was a good candidate and I did not need a hysterectomy, which was shocking after all this time dealing with pressure on my bladder to only be told I need a hysterectomy. He knows a lot about fibroids and is a known expert for doing embolizations as he does them all over the body. The procedure was so quick, I did not feel anything and I cannot even see where he did it through. The doctor told me there was going to be cramping after, and it was rough! But I am so glad I did it and now I feel so much better with no more pressure on my bladder.

I had an RFA procedure by another doctor and it did not work. I saw Dr Allaei and he said only a small portion of my nodule received RFA. I decided to take trust and the experience was so much different. The first RFA procedure I had was so painful and I had so much bruising, I really wonder what that doctor did to me. The second RFA I hardly felt anything, and I could tell it was shrinking right away. After 3 months he told me it was 80% smaller. I highly recommend doing your research there are a lot of unqualified doctors doing this and this cost me twice as I had to pay out of pocket both times.

UFE WORKED FOR ME!
After 2 OBGYNs recommended complete hysterectomy to treat my fibroid issue, I thankfully found Dr Allaei. He and his staff are so caring and in April of 2023 I had a UFE (Uterine Fibroid Embolization). All symptoms slowly faded away. I highly recommend Dr. Allaei and the UFE procedure - IT WORKED FOR ME!

10 years of painful periods from adenomyosis and being threatened with hysterectomy by multiple OBGYNs I finally found relief. Doctor was amazing and I don’t even have a scar. It was a painful recovery but worth it.

I saw doctor Allaei for large goiter in my chest. At my age surgery would have been a very difficult recovery. Decided to have the embolization procedure. I didn’t feel anything during the procedure and it was very quick. Afterwards I did have a bit of a cough and some pain swallowing but then it resolved. It has been a few months and I noticed that my breathing has improved. We have not had imaging on it yet but I am hopeful that it is working. They took care of me real well, staff is easy to get in touch with, there were no extra hidden charges, and the dctor has good bedside manner.

I have been dealing with frozen shoulder for over 2 years and my options were surgery or to try the embolization. Dr Allaei was so great and explained everything well, really took time to answer questions. On the procedure day the staff was very welcoming, they joked with me and really made my anxiety disappear. The procedure I only felt the numbing shot but otherwise went home after a couple of hours and it was really easy. It took a few weeks for me to feel the improvement.

I have bad knee pain and my orthopedics doctor had sent me for injection which helped for a bit but then returned pain. I wanted to hold off on the knee replacement surgery. I heard about the embolization for geniculates and had it done by Dr Allaei. I couldn’t find many people doing this but he was an expert and I was confident in his skills. The procedure was maybe one hour, I did not feel anything and I had no pain after. The staff and doctor were very professional and responsive. Definitely helped my pain and I will be returning for my other knee.

I flew from out of state to get this done. No one near me was willing to do this sclerotherapy procedure for my spermatocele. And it was too small for surgery, risks they told me were terrifying, but it was causing me pain. The procedure with Dr Allaei was a breeze. I flew home the same day, there was some discomfort for a few days, but I did not have to take any medication.
