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.

Dangerous diet pills prescribed. Unstable staff
Horrible staff. Horrible doctor. She put me on diet pills that were nothing more than common street speed in their side effects. And I paid hundreds of dollars for them out of pocket for... street speed. She was also offering me Belviq which now has claims of cancerous side effects. Her staff, 1 person, reacted hysterically when she allowed the auto cuff for BP to go too far and repeatedly until I almost pass out. The woman/ girl really, ran out of the room crying in the hallway. Masoodi came in and has hostile to me. Her staff conducts themselves so incompetently, I almost pass out, and I'm the offender. UNREAL. STAY AWAY! Rude staff overall and clueless doctor. I couldn't help but think that Masoodi, this is a doctor that deals in hormones, yet her staff was irrationally crying. Hmmmmm.... Was that an example of Masoodi's reckless "care"?

12/12/2019. Just when you think it couldn’t get any better, Dr. Wasima Masoodi surpasses herself and is even better. It is 16 years now since my husband and I had the good fortune to come under Dr. Masoodi’s care. It is four years since my first review in which I profoundly applauded Dr. Masoodi’s excellence in skill, education, knowledge, compassion, kindness, integrity and character. I used all my best adjectives –honestly so, and without hyperbole. Now I find myself even more praiseworthy of Dr. Wasima Masoodi –and again honestly so, and without hyperbole. This superb physician, for example, tweaked my husband’s medication a minute 15 milligram dose for every two of seven days, customizing the maximum benefit to his specific need and tolerance. I myself also have thyroid issues which Dr. Masoodi monitors with meticulous regularity and laboratory tests. My husband and I both feel very confident that our vital endocrine care is in great hands. Her vigilance means we don

I was Masoodi's patient for about 8 years and the first 5 were good but then the office moved, expanded, whatever ! It all went down hill from there, The Doctor asked me a question and I told her that I had PTSD, Then the doctor asked me if I had been in a War ? I said, No ! and shook my head, it was such a stupid reply to make, then she writes in her report That I said that I was a Combat Veteran, I never said that, what is wrong with her ? Brenda told the insurance company that I was abusing injections, but all injections were done at the doctors office under their care ! why lie about it ? This older black lady nurse keeps asking me out, but I am not interested and she gives me an injection that leaves a bruise the size of a grape fruit, so I stopped going there. What has changed at her office I do not know but it isn't good.

Although Dr. Masoodi has a pleasant bedside manner, she didn’t address my concerns and symptoms. Blood tests were performed and I told they were normal. I had some very specific issues that were never addressed. I called back to remind them but my call was ignored and I received no callback.

Dr. Masoodi is kind, attentive, and really cares about making connections with patients. She made me feel so comfortable and welcome. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for an optimistic, intelligent doctor and an office that is comforting in times of poor health.

She didn't recognize me both times that I came back into her office; she completely forgot what we had spoken about in the previous appointments. She obviously doesn't care enough to try to remember who her patients are or what their conditions are; she recommends treatments that were previously tried and proven not to work.
