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.

A plus Physician and person
Dr. Navi is a brilliant neurologist who is also kind, frank, and up to date on the latest research. He has a wealth of information and I always feel taken seriously by him. If it were not for him and his thorough approach I do not know where I would be at this point in my recovery. A plus physician and person.

A neurologist you can trust
I have being seen Dr Navi in the past two years. Dr Navi truly is an expert in the field of nurology. He is very up to date regarding the latest research progress and has very good understanding of the effects of various medications especially the interactions of the medications prescribed. Dr Navi is very busy. So you may not get an appointment immediately. But he will squeeze an appointment if your situation is urgent. He always responds the email questions promptly and provides the expert opinions. So no need to panic if you can not get an appointment “tomorrow”. With his expertise and dedication, I highly recommend him.

Dr. Babak Navi is an exceptional physician. He has been overseeing the care of my relative for nearly five years as the result of a stroke. From the first visit, he treated my relative with compassion, kindness and excellent medical guidance. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, he immediately responded to an email, arranged a video conference and assisted me in having her admitted to the ER for conditions unrelated to the virus. Although that was a difficult decision, he unquestionably saved her life
