Dr. Bahram Eslami, MD

I visited Dr. Eslami after a sudden 2020 medical emergency that was rare for my age. I changed my lifestyle and took the medication he recommended. I could not ask for a better doctor and credit him strongly for my much improved health that continues through today. Yes, Dr. Eslami is direct and no BS person, perhaps some consider that harsh - but that is exactly what you want from a doctor when you are at serious medical risk, and when my numbers had improved, Dr. Eslami was just as expressive at how happy for and proud of me he was.

On my first visit, Dr Eslami increased my medications before even ordering and reviewing lab work for the first time. That was the first red flag. The second was when he then doubled the medications even though my cholesterol and other numbers were well in the normal range. The last straw was when he insulted me by saying there is no way I could be so busy as to not get in enough exercise - saying there was no way I could possibly be more busy than him. How he could possibly say that without even asking me about my schedule, was just a presumptuous as him prescribing more medications without even ordering lab work to see what my numbers are. Lastly, the office and staff are way behind the curve when it comes to scheduling, reminders, filling out forms, etc...

Good doctor for office visits, but good luck to get hold of him on your emergency. he does not care to even contact you,the most you can leave him a messages thru his assistant

Dr. Eslami may be a fine Cardiologist, I have no idea. I've seen him for the past few years for regular visits and haven't had issues. This past visit he brought up politics, and we have differing views. I don't care to hear what my doctor's political opinions are. I'm no more interested in his opinion of politics, nor is he any more qualified to offer it, than my auto mechanic. Then to argue because I didn't agree with him lacks professionalism. It made the encounter awkward for me, and I won't be going back. I respect people who have different viewpoints than I do, but I don't need to be confronted about it during an encounter. It's just not an appropriate place.

The office was old and a bit dingy. The bathrooms were surface cleaned, but there was grime in corners and they smelled of old urine. I arrived early to fill out paperwork, and then waited an extra half hour before rescheduling for another date.
