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.

Excellent provider!
Dr. Barahimi was very patient and kind explaining the surgical procedure in detail. Everything went exactly as expected with continuing communication. A very nice person whose personality matches her skill. I highly recommend this provider.

Dr. Barahimi is one of the best doctors I've ever had the pleasure of seeing at Vanderbilt. As a scientist, I am medically adjacent, and I have more detailed questions, and like the nurse, she answered them quickly, professionally, and clearly, all with kindness. It is clear she really knows her stuff and as such, and met me where I was at (not medical, but biomedical science). So she didn't oversimplify- she used to language that I understood well. She made the adjustment about a sentence in, so I assume that she must also communicate very well with patients with no medical/medically-adjacent background. I appreciated this very much because I was able to leave with no questions, which almost never happens. I understand that this survey is about service, but she comes across as a very good person as well.

Very Good Experience
Dr. Barahimi listened to my concerns and discussed treatment options. But more importantly, she executed my eyelid surgery perfectly. My peripheral vision was improved greatly, and the scarring seems very minimal after just 2 weeks. Highly recommend. Her staff was excellent as well. Surgery needed to be rescheduled but they worked hard to get it done quickly based on my needs.

eyelid surgical planning part two
I get a call close to 1900 that night and Barahimi called to ask if I was okay- Andi told I was unhappy. We talked, things were okay- surgery a go. I got a call the morning OF my surgery from Barahimi and she canceled my surgery. This has been the most unprofessional experience I have encountered as a registered nurse in 34 years. Staff was not helpful and rude- unable to provide information that should be available to the patient LONG before less than 24 hours before surgery. I have been punished for suggesting the process for this place could use improvement. If the doctor tells you they do not think they can provide you the best service- TRUST that. I would be embarrassed to have myself or my staff treat a patient in the manner I have been treated. Its an insult to my entire profession. Go to this business with caution- my surgery will now cost me over $2500 more bc my deductible will have to be met again. I am very sorry Barahimi was not professional enough to conduct her business.

Horrible! One year later still revising her errors
Spent about 5 minutes with me. Came out of simple removal of bags under eyes with ectropion and eyes not anatomically correct one year later where there were no problems before except old age bags. Do not go to this doctor. Still enduring surgeries to correct her mistakes

Dr Barahimi did my eye surgery on 10/31/16 and I am doing great. She is a wonderful person and very caring,kind and cares about the patient, Any questions that you have she takes the time to answer them and doesn't rush you. I will have to have some more surgery at a later date and she will be the one to do it,i wouldn't think of going to anyone else. I thank God for sending me to her. She is just the best all around.
