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.

The office staff is unprofessional. I have to call several times and deal with attitudes just to have my medication refilled. Marie the office manager is sarcastic and rude. Going to have to find a new dr.

While Dr. Laleh Merikhi is a world class provider her quarterbacking skills are only surpassed by the team of roach star practitioners, nurses and assistants. The entire procedure was seamless, it was safe, relaxing and seamless. You can appreciate that any such procedures are laced with anxiety but this one felt like a paid nap, at a spa with free drinks, smiles and socks as a bonus. Highly recommend

I have worked with Dr. Merikhi for some time to treat digestive issues. After a few discussions and an esophageal scope to rule out possible structural issues, she suggested the possibility of Lactose Intolerance and offered an in-office test - which indicated that I was highly lactose intolerant. Adopting an almost-dairy-free diet has eliminated all of my recurring daily digestive issues! Dr. Merikhi is now my go-to GI doctor.

Dr.Merikhi is patient and thorough and takes the time to listen and work out a treatment plan with you, which is very rare for a physician these days. She also has a warm, pleasant “bedside manner.” I was able to make an appointment in a relatively short period of time and the office staff was attentive and expedient. I highly recommend this physician.
