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.

My telemed experience with Dr, Rhamadi was outstanding. He was professional, friendly, and kind. I am looking forward to his expert care with the biopsy and possible surgery I will be having

Exceptional Care
I received exceptional care at Mass Eye and Ear. Everyone from the front desk personnel, to the nurses and Dr. Rahmati were friendly and professional. He was thorough in discussing the procedure and potential future treatment to alleviate my current health issue. It was important to me that he listened as I shared my experience and concerns. Dr. Rahmati performed a lip biopsy and I experienced no pain during the procedure. After the procedure I had no further bleeding and barely any pain or swelling. Dr. Rahmati and his nurse were very attentive to me and would periodically check to see if I was ok during the procedure. I had an exceptional experience and would highly recommend Dr. Rahmati.

Dr. Rahmati
I first went to Dr. Rahmati after a misdiagnosis and treatment at another facility. Dr. Rahmati was reassuring, professional, answered all my questions and removed a tumor from my parotid gland. From the first appointment to the post-op visit, I could not have been treated better. He is a great doctor and I wouldn’t hesitate to be treated by him again. The office staff is caring and professional-special shout out to Lisa. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Rahmati and the resident that I saw were both really nice and explained things to me in a friendly manner. Dr. Rahmati made a referral for me with an oral surgeon and suggested that I follow up with him afterwards. I was seeing Dr. Samir Bhatt in Newton before and he is very friendly too. However, he's hard to get an appointment with so I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Rahmati and I'm glad that I did.

I was refereed to Dr. Rahmati by my oral pathologist. Dr. Rahmati was very patient listened to my concerns and answered my questions fully. He gave me the most thorough exam relative to the other doctors I saw even as he was not in my insurance network and charged me only the bare minimum. Even after I decided to go with a dr within my insurance network he promptly returned my calls seeking his opinion.

Dr. Rahmati is a LIAR.. During a surgery he and his team cracked my front tooth in half and chipped 4 other teeth. An oral surgeon t informed that this happened when the team pulled out the device which was protecting my vocal chords during the procedure. The doctor LIED and said he didn't do it and after an investigation continued to LIE. Oh and I have have the surgery performed again as Rahmati's work was unsuccessful. The Worst. Sleazy and Dishonest.

Dr. Rahmati is not only an excellent surgeon, but also very kind, patient, pragmatic, and professional. I visited Dr. Rahmati because I had a submandibular salivary stone that needed removal. In the very first consult, Dr. Rahmati explained to me the different surgical procedures to remove salivary stones and asked if I wanted to have the stone removed in that very moment. He removed the stone in less than 30 minutes by performing a minimal cut with local anesthesia. Excellent doctor!

Dr Rahmati has been a gift to my son and our family. He is as skillful as he is compassionate. Never is it easy to hear that your 12year old son has cancer. Dr Rahmati did it with grace and empathy My son is doing better than we hoped. Dr Rahmati removed cancer from my son's neck. Not only is the cancer completely gone, his neck is beautiful and he has no limitations. He was playing football and running the mile 2 weeks later. God Bless Dr Rahmatullah Rahmati

I would have appreciated more active involvement from this physician. I sought out a Columbia specialist as other doctors had not been able to find a remedy for my symptoms. He merely listened (which is a plus these days) but offered no treatment, no further suggestions or options for my symptoms. He also yawned frequently throughout the 10 min we spent together. Was very disappointed with the Columbia brand.

From the very moment we found out that our father had cancer Dr.Rahmati and his staff treated us with extreme kindness and compassion. There were no questions to small or issues they would not help us figure out. Victrina, Melissa and the rest of the staff are professionalism personified. My father will tell you that he does not know How they got so many wonderful people working in one place. Thank You Doctor for saving my Father life and giving us all hope for a new day. -- Reyes Family
