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.

Very good at what he does, but over scheduled !
He is very talented. By accident, he found a growth. He tends to be over scheduled. Rarely on time. Not realistic on scheduling, which tends to create a rush or a not completely explained visit. If you can handle that, he is the one to go to. Just be forward and ask, " Are you on time today "?

Weird doctor
Has a suspicious weird look in his eyes. Asked my wife's age for no reason. No advice given to keep a healthy lifestyle so I cancelled my appointment.

Thank Goodness for Dr. Movassaghi! I was dealing with a horrible case of kidney stones I could barely walk. The office staff was so helpful they got me in immediately. Dr. Movassaghi has new laser technology to help me break up and pass the stones. I am forever grateful for his compassion and care. It felt like I was giving birth all over again! Yikes. The staff was also very competent and caring. Thx Dr. Movassaghi and staff for making a terrible experience better STAT! Ladies make sure you hydrate. #nomorestones

I was very clear that I was not authorizing any work that would not be covered in full by my insurance. They acted like this was fine, and then 2 weeks later I get a bill for $447.

Dr. Movassaghi is compassionate and a quick decision maker. I appreciated his ability to take a bad result from another practitioner and fix my issues. Excellent post-surgery bedside manners.

Dr. Movassaghi is a smart, compassionate, empathetic doctor who doesn't rush into performing redundant tests and performing surgery as a first or even second resort. He is careful and analytical. He is an exceptional human being.
