Dr. Yafa Minazad, MD

I was early for my appointment and waited about 40 mins to be seen. When she finally came into the room, I needed to excuse myself, which she didn't allow and gave me the ultimatum to wait until the appointment was over and if I left the room, I would need to reschedule. What? She was very dismissive, curt and rude. Horrible bedside manner and after excusing myself and returning maybe 4 minutes later, I was told I would need to reschedule a month and a half out. If the patient's time isn't also respected just as much as the doctor's, then NO THANK YOU. Go elsewhere, you have better options!

This Dr is terrible !!! do not go to her she may put your life at risk. I was uncomfortable with her explanation of my diagnosis and I advised her that I would seek a 2nd opinion. I received a 2nd and 3rd opinion. Come to find out she missed diagnosed me and my condition worsened. I addressed my concerns to her and she just brushed me off. NEVER ever go to this Dr NEVER

Good She takes the time to ask questions and answer mine. It isn't always easy to get an appointment quickly but since this is not an emergency doctor, it is okay. There is an PA a ms. G. that i am not comfortable with.

I'm not sure why this says "Emeryville, CA" with an 818 area code, but I am a patient in Pasadena, CA. When I had a stroke 4 years ago, Dr. Minazad was the neurologist that was assigned to me. She was fabulous then, and was fabulous for about a year afterwards. Now, trying to get an appt takes forever, no one answers the phone, voicemail full. I was told that I was now considered a new patient and just wasted 2 hours of my time waiting to see a NP. I finally demanded my co-pay back and left.

Deplorable, insensitive, worst doctor I have ever come across. Beware and stay away. No bedside manner and completely rude. She loves her personal problems into her work.no knowledge or expertise.

She typed whole time of our appointment uninterestecd in me as a person. Staff treats patients as if they are bothering them. Many neurologists in Pasadena are incompetent, Minazad is the best of the rather poor options.

My 1st appt. with Dr. Minazad went well. The 2nd visit, I had to wait over 1 hour to see her. When she came into the room she was very short, and focused on an area that is not the major one I am being seen for. She asked no questions about the physical therapy treatment she had sent me to. She spent less than 3 minutes with me and told me to follow up with her new nurse practitioner in 6 months for who knows what? She is now a MMM which is maybe why she is less focused on what she should be.
