Dr. Bashar Khiatah, MD

I left the doctor's visit with some red flags and an uneasy feeling. Dr. Khiatah is a bit overzealous and makes too many assumptions while being surprisingly unfamiliar with local culture. Be prepared with him making a demand for you to switch to an all Mediterranean diet, to start intermittent fasting, to meditate, to take herbs, and more... all after one visit. None of those recommendations are individually wrong, but when they aren't in response to a health issue it sounds like simple parroting. I don't trust Dr. Khiatah's judgement, which is unfortunate since getting another provider at Overlake takes months. Therefore, I will look into a different health group or hospital.

I'm hesitant to leave a review because I know it'll be harder to get an appointment with him. This is hands down one of the best doctors I've ever been to. He was so knowledgeable and took the time to listen to me and validate my concerns. Honestly, if I had been going to him sooner, I'd probably be more healthier. I cannot say more amazing things about Dr. Khiatah. He is simply a lifesaver and truly helped me get my life back in order and made me make healthier decisions for myself and family. I had no idea how badly I neglected my health till I came to him. He really has made being healthier easier and manageable and has not shamed me in any way. Best doctor one could ask for.

In general, I have received very poor medical care for the past several years. Seemingly doctors do not care at all about their patients any longer. However, I was soooo impressed and grateful to find Dr. Khiatah. He is smart, directly engaged and truly cares about his patient and finding solutions. Sadly, many too have found him as a good doctor and he can be a bit difficult to get an appointment, but I will wait for an appointment with him. It's well worth it.

Dr. Khiatah has altered my life in many ways and has helped me to gain better health and counseled me on better life habits. I am very grateful for his guidance and encouragement.
