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.

Superb
Dr. Khoynezhad is extremely kind and knowledgeable. He explained multiple options for treatment and didn’t pressure one over the other. He explained each one and allowed me to make the choice that I thought was best. That being said the work he did perform was fantastic. I’m glad he’s on my team. I highly recommend him!

Dr Ali Khoynezhad
I had an elective aortic root and valve replacement procedure done by Dr KHOYNEZHAD. He is a true expert. He thoroughly explained the risks and benefits of the surgery during pre-surgery consultations. I had the surgery on 6/19/2023 and was discharged 8 days later. Dr KHOYNEZHAD performed the surgery with a partial sternectomy which has made my recovery a lot easier. His post-surgery follow up in the hospital was comforting and reassuring. Dr KHOYNEZHAD is a first rate thoracic surgeon and I highly recommend him. Thanks Dr KHOYNEZHAD

Saved my life!
After at least 5 tests my cardiologist at the time referred me to have an angiogram procedure. He estimated that one of my heart arteries was at least 70% blocked. The angiogram went forward for only a brief time as it was discovered that 2 of my three of my heart arteries were 100% blocked. Dr. Kohonezhad was available to join my case immediately. I had open heart triple bypass surgery shortly after. Dr. K was extremely professional, met with me every day after the surgery. In addition his team of other doctors and NP were outstanding. The post operative visits have all been excellent. His office staff has been very proactive scheduling follow up appointments and are alwasy courteous and professional. I hope no one needs his services but I would trust my life to this doctor.

Dr. K saved my life with his skill and knowledge. I had an aortic dissection from my valve all the way into my Iliacs. He repaired my valve, ascending aorta and arch. He is such a pleasure to be around and I was very blessed to have gotten him as my surgeon in my dire situation. His team is wonderful and I highly recommend him.

There are no words to describe the Life Saving Procedures Dr. K has provided for me. Multiple procedures might i add! Each procedure was as successful as they could ever be and beyond expectation given the complexity of the work that I needed. He's always made the journey very comfortable. Dr. K always maintains a positive attitude is very certain of how he plans to proceed. His confidence definitely spreads to the patient which in turn eases any doubt or anxiety in the patient. Dr. K's follow-ups and after-care is also very responsive and informative. His staff is very nice which I new would be the case since Dr. K himself is the nicest and calmest person you could meet for someone who has so much on their shoulders.

Dr. Khoynezhad is a life saver. My wife suffered an Aortic Dissection and was rushed to the nearest emergency facility. At the time we were with one of the largest medical provider but due to the life threatening emergency she was transported to the nearest ER location. This was truly a blessing in disguise since this is how Dr. Khoynezhad became our doctor. Since the mortality rate for someone who suffered an Aortic Dissection and the (Tevar) surgery Dr. Khoynezhad performed is in the high 80% range it's a miracle she's still with us. Fortunantely our medical provider agreeded to let Dr. Knoynezhad operate on my wife. My wife was transferred to one of our medical providers hospital and eventually home to recover. The medical attention and doctors care she received from our long time, big time provider was terrible compared to the care we received from Dr. K and his staff. We finally left our big provider and joined the medical group that Dr. Khoynezhad was with. He saves lives.

Dr Khoynezhad quite simply saved my life. So to be totally honest , I cannot truly express what he means to myself and my family. I met him in early September 2015 in pretty bad shape. To say I was a little fearful of the surgery I needed to have is a little understatement. But that's where I knew Dr Khoynezhad was unique.... not different., but UNIQUE! He took the time to speak to me just like a normal bloke. He's confidence eased my concerns and needless to say the surgery and treatment following was simply astounding. He saved my life. And if you are fortunate to have Dr Khoynezhad as your physician/surgeon then not only will you get the best surgeon, but a mate as well...... He is Brady, MJ and Lebron all round into one.
