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.

Wait time is too Long!
He is a great DR and all, but he is always an hour behind on appointments. I keep having to reschedule my appointments because it runs into other Major Dr appointments or schedule conflict for work. I’m so annoyed how he is always always behind on schedule. 10-20 minutes I understand but an hour or longer is just unacceptable. His visits literally last 15 minutes so again I don’t understand how he is always behind on schedule.

Uninterested
At my initial referral/consultation appointment, I waited over an hour to be seen for 5 minutes. He is a hand specialist who didn't examine my hands. He simply read my test results and talked while he charted and said I can probably go back to work in 4 weeks. I saw him again today for a follow-up, and again, my appointment consisted of talking while charting, ignoring my concerns and pain, and simply updated my work restrictions just to give an update and sent me on my way. Now, I am going back to work without proper treatment and still in pain and there's nothing I can do about it.

I made the right choice when I went to see Dr. Zahiri. Not only was he Personable and relatable he was thorough and I felt at ease. I dread going to see any doctor especially a specialist but I’m so glad I went ! Feeling much better. Oh and the staff was super friendly. That is always a huge plus !

I had a really great experience with Dr. Zahiri. He was always quick and to the point. This was my first surgery; he and his staff made me feel very at ease. Definitely recommend this practice.

Dr. Zahiri has repaired both of my shoulders. I came to him after seeing four other doctors. He has been very honest and very clear in his explanation of my problems and how he planned to deal with them. He and his team were incredibly helpful in making the whole experience much less stressful. Thank you doc!
