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.

I usually never Leave bad comments, but this was something extraordinary. Very rude from the moment Dr Kaliani walked into the room. Extremely unprofessional, and doesn't listen to the patient's problem at all. I wasted 3 hours of my time and left without any helpful treatment.

Less than Zero,
From the moment Dr. Disrespect entered the room, her demeanor was confrontational and disrespectful. She immediately expressed her disapproval of my supposed 'attitude,' threatening to leave and return only if I adjusted my behavior to meet her arbitrary standards. This brazen display of unprofessionalism was not only shocking but also set a tone of hostility that persisted throughout the entire encounter.The physician's condescending attitude was palpable, and her pride seemed to cloud her judgment. Despite my presenting symptoms and distress after enduring five hours of pain, she seemed more fixated on her perceived notions of my attitude than on addressing the medical concerns at hand. This disproportionate sense of self-righteousness created a toxic environment, further compromising the doctor-patient relationship.Perhaps the most alarming aspect of this encounter was Dr. Disrespect's refusal to treat my wounds, citing a personal dislike for my presence.

Do NOT see Dr. Kaliani under any circumstance.
I saw Dr. Kiliani for a simple physical evaluation that my Medical School required before enrollment. All she had to do was simply conduct a physical and fill out a form in which I provided. I even brought my immunization records from my undergrad for her, so all she had to do was sign off on it. At Virginia Tech (my undergrad) they grouped covid and flu shots under the same heading (appeared as COVID/FLU shot), and Dr. Kaliani refused to sign off on it since the heading said "Covid" and the date was in 2019 (I got a flu shot in 2019, before Covid vaccine was available). She insisted that the information was incorrect and I even had people from Virginia Tech call her and explain it was simply a heading and she refused to listen to them, even they grew frustrated and gave up. She ended up never signing off on it so I couldn't use the form, and ended up seeing another Dr. A couple months later I get a bill for this visit even though she did not fill out my form!! STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS.

Argumentative and almost impossible to work with. I am very upset about the unprofessionalism I have encountered with this visit.

Horrible! I went in for a lump on my right arm. She dismissed it as a swollen tendon. After seeing another doctor I found out I had a tumor. How can you practice medicine this way? You hold people’s lives in your hands. She should be removed from the medical world. Zero stars is actually my vote.

Never see her! – Sep 03, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kaliani?
If I could I would leave 0 stars. WORSE physician ever. Literally didn’t have any empathy or remorse of what I had to say of how I’m feeling. Never once took into consideration and didn’t even explain anything. Didn’t care enough to listen only cared to look at the computer. Worst physician ever wouldn’t recommend her to anyone.

Seems too focused on the computer and a set of her own checklist processes. When attempting to show her important vital readings from home, she was dismissive. Improperly interpreted x-ray results before being corrected by radiologist by phone call to patient at home. Results still not corrected in medical records system.
