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.

Terrible doc, widely known for bad behavior
He repeatedly interrupted, was demeaning and downright disrespectful. He then used verbally abusive language when I asked to finish my question before being interrupted again. I was absolutely appalled and will be following up at higher levels within Eisenhower Medical Center. Choose someone else for your own safety! Even my Primary Care acknowledged that he's awful.

Nightmare!
He patent profiled me. He made fun of me for a medicine that he thought I was taking for one of my disabilities.He said that fainting and convulsing was not neurological, then he refused to listen to me, and refused to see me. I was only in his office for one minute, before he offended me, and I walked out. He then gave false information about me on my permanent medical record with Eisenhower.I found him to be threatening, rude, and dangerous.I highly do not recommend.Nightmare!

Horrible personality
I was astounded with this man’s communication skills: curt, flippant, egotistical and downright rude. I would NEVER EVER EVER recommend this physician to anyone I know. His ugly personality completely overshadows whatever medical expertise and knowledge he has

The great many scathing reviews have caught me by great surprise. My experience was radically different than that of essentially everybody else who has provided a review. I had multiple events of what were concluded to be transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) over the period of two or so years. I was ushered to an ER at least three times, and once admitted to an intensive care unit after receiving a bolus of tissue plasminogen activator (TPA). Despite the seemingly innumerable events, there haven’t been permanent neurological deficits. This would be quite remarkable, if indeed, there were one TIA after the other over a long period of time due eventually to having a stroke. I was referred to Dr. Salari for assessment. Dr. Salari rapidly came to the conclusion that I had late life migraine. He recommended treatment with the combination of amitriptyline, riboflavin and magnesium. I have had only one event in the last three or so years. I am very grateful.

I am aware that some doctors lack bedside manner but Dr. Salari takes the cake! He was arrogant, rude and condescending to my husband (the patient), to me and to my son. He has NO business practicing medicine and should look for a different career. If there was a zero rating I wouldn't even give him that!

I don’t know how this man is still practicing medicine. He has no business interacting with other human beings. Rude, arrogant, condescending, will not let you ask questions, talks over you. Would have given him 0 stars if I could.

Zero stars..Most horrific experience I have ever had. I had been suffering w trigeminal neuralgia, dizziness and numbness. I had an MRI 2 yrs previous and my primary dr wanted me to do a 2nd one, since my symptoms still persisted. He walked in the room said there was nothing wrong w my brain, asked me to move my hand, and legs, said to go home and live my life. When I explained again my ongoing issues, instead of trying to find a treatment, if not w him, refer another Dr. He said. So what if you are dizzy, so what if you have some pain. Go home and go skiiing. Try an antidepressant. My husband and I were in complete shock at his behavior. I said I hv never been depressed in my life, that sure I was down, due to my ongoing medical issues, when prior I was healthy. Again he repeated. Go home and live your life! He should not be allowed to speak w human beings at all!! DO NOT GO TO HIM. HORRIBLE EXCUSE FOR A MAN.

Excellent. He listens and explains if you ask about his diagnosis. Polite. I had been diagnosed with Parkinson twice by another and possibly by another. Dr. Solari found it was Essential Tremors

Dr. Salari treated my wife while she was a patient at Eisenhower Medical Center. She was in critical conditioned and had been mis-diagnosed by other Doctors. Dr. Salari got the diagnosis corret and perhaps saved her life.

Saw my father in the hospital and was so rude and offensive it literally left us shocked. They found a brain tumor and he was having bad tremors and as if this wasn’t bad enough this horrible man comes in and proceeds to demean and treat my father horribly. This man should not be allowed to work at the hospital.

Excellent in discussing you problems, options and what to do next. Spends the time to get to listen to and understand your issues and takes the time to personalize your meeting. I was very favorably impressed.

The WORST doctor I have ever seen! He has major anger issues! He yells at you if you ask any questions, and like another person mentioned here, he also blocked me in his office and would not let me out. I had to threaten him that I would scream if he wouldn't let me leave. He wanted to keep me there to yell at me. Also, he does not take time to go over your diagnosis and does not explain anything. His office runs about 2 hours behind and they do not keep you informed. Patient beware!

Worst physician I ever known. The man swears and after I tried to leave the office he blocked my way out and refused to let me pass. This continued over several minutes as I told him to let me leave and he continued to block the door. He yelled at me and completely unprofessional. I strongly urge everyone to avoid this doctor.

Beware,after care is horrendous in my opinion, he is a very angry person (Dr Jeckle Mr Hyde ). He does not, I feel, like to be questioned about his judgment because his mind is already made up.

I was waited for 2 hrs after my scheduled appointment. I was then diagnosed, and dismissed (diagnose and adios). Not only did I feel I wasn't explained my diagnosis thoroughly, but he even intimated that it wasn't his area- aka not his problem. No apology for the wait, and then just walked away and out of the room without any proper discharge or even a goodbye. Then the medical assistants and registrars didn't even give me any direction as to what to do. So unprofessional.
