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.

The Worst Doctor I've Ever Had!
I arrived at 12:00pm for a 12:15pm appointment with Dr. Yousefzadeh. I waited 45 minutes to be seen I figured no big deal. When the doctor came in, she briefly asked how I was then went straight to asking questions about my medical history. Since this was my first time seeing this doctor, I had no problem filling her in. Before I could get 3 words out, she cut me off and proceeded to the next question. Whenever I tried discussing my concerns about my issues, she would cut me off. Her responses were cold and curt, and when I let her know, she responded 'I know I'm being curt because I have other patients to get to'. She continued to make me feel as if my health issues were my fault, and that I was just being difficult. At that point I had had enough of her rude behavior, so I gathered my belongings and tried to leave. Dr. Yousefzadeh, proceeded to place her hand on the exit door, blocking me from leaving. She continued blocking the door until I threatened to call the police.

Worst doctor I've ever met with
This doctor seemed uninterested in hearing about my symptoms and insinuated that they were probably imaginary. I was taken aback and once I stood up to leave she backpedaled and said she would go ahead and repeat all of my tests 'just to be sure'. But it was her dismissive tone that was demoralizing.I eventually found another doctor who discovered a serious issue for which I will now have surgery, but no thanks to Dr. Yousefzadeh.

Most awful experience
If it wasn’t for the fact that I was not fully dressed, I would have walked out mid-exam. After waiting 45 minutes past my appointment time (which I understand can happen), she was short tempered and very rude in her delivery. She continuously cut me off and when I asked her to clarify something she acted as though I was committing a crime. I would not recommend this doctor to my worst enemy!

I saw Dr. Yousefzadeh for the first-time last February 2022. She was terrific and has a wonderful bedside manner and a terrific job on my aspiration. I was nervous and she did her best to be a calming influence.

If I could give no stars I would
Terrible doctor. I started seeing her right before the pandemic and that’s probably why I kept going for so long. She didn’t believe I had Grave’s disease because I’m “not skinny” and I had to argue that blood work doesn’t lie. She finally gave in and put me on so much medication that my thyroid went from over active to barely functioning. I spent 2 years with a yo-yoing thyroid and gained almost 100lbs. Never checked me for diabetes and when I kept telling her something was wrong for me to be gaining weight her response was “well you weren’t thin when I met you”. Absolutely disgusting woman. Switched drs and in the last 6 months my thyroid is regulated, my ac1 is normal, and I’m down 30lbs already and found out I have pcos- she never even asked about my periods. Seriously I never leave reviews but this all needs to be said. She’s terrible and condescending and has no bedside manner.

Do Not Recommend
I have been seeing Dr. Yousefzahdeh for over a year because I have been too lazy to find another doctor. She has NO bedside manners, doesn't explain anything, and is so condensing. I have finally decided to start seeing someone else because I dread my visits with her. I learn nothing from her on how to improve my type 2 diabetes and she clearly doesn't care about her patients.

Awful! Worst bedside manner I have ever experienced! I’m trying to treat my thyroid with naturally remedies and she did nothing but mock me and my ND who is treating me! She was condescending in the way she spoke with and I really can not fathom how people actually choose to go to this woman!

Awful awful experience. My regular doctor wanted me to see her as we found out I was type 2 diabetic the same day we found out I was pregnant. She has no beside manner whatsoever. She dismissed everything I said and did not clearly answer any questions. She then ordered specific monitor for me, knowing I was pregnant. I spent over $200 on this monitor. When I opened the user manual it specifically said “Do not use if you are pregnant, as this has not been approved for pregnant women”. I will never using her again.

I enjoyed my visit with the doctor she has diagnosed me very precisely. I would also like to commend her on her patience and kindness in treating her patients . She listened to everything i had to say And treated me with a lot of courtesy. I truly recommend this doctor to all looking for endocrinologist.

I am very disappointed with this doctor. She did not take me or my symptoms seriously and turned down any of my questions without providing an explanation. I understand some patients look on google and say things that may not be true, but at least provide an explanation to the patient and any credible resources so they can utilize so they can learn accurate information. The only thing she did right was that she ordered bloodwork to further examine my symptoms, which was only after I asked her to. I left this office in tears.

Misdiagnosed me. Prescribed medication that would have left me in a coma. Thank God my other doctors correctly diagnosed me, and made it very clear that I should NEVER see Dr. Yousefzadeh again. She prescribes meds without bloodwork...her bedside manner is terrible...I'm a Christian woman but if I have to call her a quack in order to save someone's life, then I will. Please do not see her. Total incompetence.

This woman needs to loose her license as a Dr. Extremely poor service, and in my opinion if she doesn't want to do the work as a Dr. she needs to find another profession. The last time I checked, a Medical Assistant does NOT carry the title of MD. This poor exuse for a Dr. had her MA call to deliver results to myself, with the wrong information. The MA sounded like she had no idea what she was talking about, leaving me more confused than before. Please do not waste your time going to her!!!

I went to her after being on synthroid for 5 years for my thyroid. She did all the routine tests and my numbers were very good but I told her I had a skin rash since starting on synthroid. Because it is such a popular med I never thought it was the synthroid. She suggested I switch to another medication. When I had asked my internist about this she blew me off and wouldn't switch me, so I was surprised when Dr Yousefzedah suggested changing. She listened. I think she is great.

What kind of endocrinologist doesn't check a diabetics foot at every visit? plus she's a real greedy Dr. she asked me if I still smoked cigarettes and then charges (Pro Health Care says the're allowed to) $100.00 for Tobacco use cessation (procedure code 99406). No information on chantex or nicorette or anything just a simple question she should be asking all diabetic patients and then charges a hundred bucks. Never again will I see this DR
