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.

EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL
I highly suggest staying away from this so called Doctor. She needs her license provoked. She is very rude, obnoxious, and unprofessional. I had a recent appt with her and I was about to run out from my appt. I am still traumatized and she definitely increased my heart rate as she got me extremely worked up and upset. All the specialists in the area recommend that you do not see her as a primary care physician. She doesn’t even know some of the common prescription names. I will be changing doctors immediately.

Dr. Hamidi is a great Doctor!
I don't get those who are not fans. I have found her to be a very compassionate Doctor who was there as I went through cancer treatment. She had always been responsive and concerned and a good listener. I would highly recommend her.

Doesn't even know vaping is better than smoking.
Straight from Google:100 million people died from tobacco use in the 20th century. If current trends continue one billion people will die from tobacco use in the 21st century. Tobacco use kills up to half of all lifetime users. On average, smokers lose 15 years of lifeAgain straight from Google about vaping:Sixty-four people have died and 2,758 have been hospitalized due to vaping-related lung injuries, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).Feb 11, 2020So we have a product that's killed 100,000,000 vs 64 people.So I wonder how many people Dr. Hamidi has caused people to go back to one of the deadliest things known to mankind instead of vaping which has been proven to be 99% less harmful. A doctor swears to do no harm and a statement like that can do a massive amount of harm. I doubt Dr. Hamidi will read this, but if she does please realize patients trust their doctors and I hope you haven't had patience die because of your ignorance!

Terrible Doctor
I concur with other comments here that Sara Hamidi should not be allowed to practice medicine. She is rude, *doesn't listen* and talks over you. She conducts office visits like a lecture; standing with arms crossed talking AT you instead of WITH you. She is dismissive, becomes defensive and tries to intimidate when you, the patient, push back in an "advocate for yourself" capacity. She misdiagnosed my mother's jaw necrosis, a well-known side effect from Prolia treatments, as an ear infection and prescribed months worth of antibiotics that did nothing but cause digestive issues. A dentist finally got my mom on the right track. Hamidi claims to be a geriatric physician but I saw no evidence of her doing anything more than the absolute minimum and "path of least resistance" in treatment planning. We switched providers and now my mother is in a much better place healthcare wise. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this practice.

Rudest Most Unprofessional Doctor
Attitude from the beginning. Talked down to me. When I asked not to be touched by her she got aggressive. She has no empathy and is unwilling and unable to listen yo patients feelings or emotions. She is not worth your time. I do not recommend at all.

Dr. Hamidi is rude and impatient, and knows much more about your condition than you do - just ask her. If you are a woman with any sort of UTI, RUN, don't walk, anywhere else. She has a few antibiotics she will prescribe over and over, and wonder what you are complaining about. The staff is rude, and not well trained, the office is small. The parking and access is rough if you have any handicap. We failed to get away from this woman in time, and by the time my wife was see by a specialist in women's systems and then soon after admitted to hospital, it was too late. The UTI had progressed to the point where it had reached her kidneys, and could not be stopped. HOWEVER, if you just need a prescription refilled without questions - see this woman.

Like other doctors before Hamidi had no clue how to treat my low thyroid/adrenal problems. My urine was terrible and she put me on antibiotics. I knew the bad urine was the result of overstressed adrenal glands. After the antibiotics it was as bad as always. Hamidi never looked for another cause. Through other sources I went on hydrocortisone and eventually my adrenals were healed and the infection was gone. She could not be bothered.

I haven't been a patient here for over a year and they are still annoying me.They threatened to send me to collections for a $60 bill I already paid over a year ago! I call the office for clarification but they have NO ANSWERS and just kept telling me I have to call this other company who handles their billing. Okay fine. I call the company who informs me I HAVE paid the bill but it wasn?t applied. It was their mistake and they had not even taken the initial steps to send me to collections.
