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.

Dr Nowzari is a rude, dismissive, and arrogant MD.
I had a highly disappointing experience with Dr. Farshad Nowzari today during a consultation regarding my son’s ongoing pain and the possibility of it being related to a urinary tract infection (UTI). I expressed concern over whether a UTI could be causing pain, which is widely noted in medical literature as a common symptom. Surprisingly, Dr. Nowzari firmly insisted that UTIs do not cause pain, dismissing my question. When I attempted to clarify, he responded by touching my shoulder, asserting his certainty, then turning his back and walking away mid-discussion.This dismissive and unprofessional behavior left me concerned not only about his bedside manner but also his clinical judgment on a well-documented medical fact. I am seeking a second opinion as his assessment contradicts reputable sources, which strongly indicate that UTIs can indeed cause pain. I would urge potential patients to consider this experience when evaluating options for urological care.

Bad Customer Service
I recently had an extremely disappointing experience with SoCal Advanced Urology in Gardena, which I feel compelled to share. My interaction with the office staff was characterized by rudeness and a lack of professionalism, which significantly marred my perception of the clinic.Initially, when I contacted the office, my information was taken without issue. However, it took two days for the office staff to return my call, which already suggested a lack of efficiency in their communication processes. When I finally received a follow-up call, I was taken aback by the unprofessional demeanor of the staff member who contacted me.The tone of the staff member was distinctly rude and aggressive, which was wholly inappropriate and uncalled for. Rather than feeling like a valued patient, I felt as though I was being chastised. To make matters worse, when I inquired about the copay for my visit, the staff member curtly told me to call the insurance company myself to find out about the copay,

Avoid Dr. Nowzari
Dr. Nowzari came into my consult like he was speedy Gonzalez. He talked immediately fast and hardly let me get a word in. I explained the urgency of my issue and was dismissed. He kept focusing on tests, tests, and more tests, when I had brought labs and ultrasound images that were less than a week old to the consult. On top of that, the office is extremely disorganized and full of old equipment. I arrived early to my appointment and still waited over an hour to be seen, with many people in the waiting room complaining of the same issue. I don't usually leave reviews, but this doctor warrants a warning. Avoid him at all costs. He does not care about his patients.

I was almost a year post opp from back spine surgery. My urine flow was slow due to nerve restrictions and was taking meds to help with flow. This Dr. insisted on doing a procedure that could further impact the flow..... all about the money, not the well being of patients.

I have been going to see Dr. Nowzari for my prostate cancer for several years & he has been taking care of me like one of his own family members. I'm very grateful to have him as my doctor.

Nowzari: 0 stars. His only care is $$, not patients. I began seeing him early 2018 in NBeach. After a few visits they sent me to a rundown Gardena office. When he changed offices he changed TAX ID#s & did not approve it with my insurance or inform anyone. now a $4k bill hits me in January 2019. He refused me care & RX refills during this claims mess that was their fault for changing TAX ID# without telling anyone. He wont settle or work with me on this and rather get $25 for 161 mo. POOR ETHICS
