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.

100% Good
The process, the doctor, the facility, and the staff were all top notch. Who wants to have a colonoscopy? Not me, but if I need one I will see Dr. Khatami.

Avoid at all costs
I am currently overweight. Gained a lot of weight quickly due to a side effect of a drug. I have struggled with various eating disorders. My issue I went for had absolutely nothing to do with my weight. At the end, he gives me a pamphlet on a weight-loss balloon method and says I may benefit from the medical procedure. If I had asked for help, even mentioned my weight, or if it was somewhat correlated to the issue then okay, I guess—but it was unprompted. Just wanted to slide in there to be like “Oh hey, you’re fat & we’d love your money on this procedure.” I’m not that overweight. Also, this was a side effect of a drug and I’m working on taking it off. Worst bedside manner. Triggered me severely. Please, please do not see this man. Also, I didn’t even feel like he was truly listening to my issue I actually came for. Maybe he was just blinded by wanting more money from me for that balloon procedure.

He didn't seem to interested in what I had to say. The Willoughby office was run down and dirty looking, the nurse that day had no personality and wouldn't even smile. The Mentor office was clean but, staff were unprofessional, and unfriendly on the day of my procedure, the one nurse acted like it was her first day and wasn't sure what to do. Another nurse said he was tired of working with idiots. For weeks, I've been fighting to get a rx, no one has answers, the staff seems clueless. Still no

Not only he has a great sense of humor he is also very experienced. Anytime I had symptoms that worried me, he manages to listen to you carefully to have an accurate diagnosis. It is truly fun to see Dr khatami and his high energy level always makes you feel healthy!!! He always care and love his patients. He always calls me back quickly if I have a question about my lab work and his explanations are very clear.

I have seen Dr. Khatami since 2009 and I can tell that He is a truly exceptional doctor. Very caring doctor. She speaks in terms that you can easily understand. He is very easy to talk to and take time with his patients to ensure they understand what their health needs are. One of the kinds that its definitely not easy to find. He really cares about his patients and is highly experienced. Once you are in his hand there is no need to worry about anything.
