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.

Highly recommend!
So thankful! I have never been more grateful for Dr Mimari and his staff. I was able to schedule an emergency consultation and have surgery the next day. I had been in pain for months - and to have a Dr explain the procedure with realistic outcomes and recovery was reassuring as a hypochondriac .. Perfect surgery, recovery and I feel better than I have in over 10 years. THANK YOU!!

had gallbladder surgery last year. he was quick to tell me how good he was. long story short. had horrific pain after surgery. when i went back to see them basically told me that it couldn't be him cause he does 1000's of these. after further pain....sent me for CT scan. turns out had hernia due to procedure. Said not to worry it would be easy fix.....easy as in another surgery, more thousands in co pay to pay out..so I went to 2nd surgeon for another opinion...this surgeon said he stopped using the Davinci robot that mimari uses due to the fact it gives patients hernias at incision site. this info was never given to me prior so i could've made a decision if i wanted to risk that complication. Worst decision to use this surgeon...and the lack of compassion when i was in pain afterwards had me feeling like i had been duped.

He saved my husband's life in an emergency small intestine resection. He, also, removed his gallbladder many years later cause we personally requested him. God bless him and his family.

Awesome surgeon. He is the first surgeon who took me seriously that I had a difficult airway and made sure I had an equally awesome anesthesiologist, Dr. Giselle Conlin. I had a cholecystectomy and an inguinal hernia repair performed at the same time and both were done robotically. I had minimal pain and was back at work full-time on day 7 after the surgery. He is kind and actually listens carefully to his patients. I cannot recommend him enough, especially if you are a surgical challenge.

Dr. Mimari's new scheduler, Yvonne, does not return your calls and denies receiving messages from other office staff member i.e., the receptionist who took my calls. The other office staff confirmed with me that she did send Yvonne several messages to return my call. So someone is being deceitful and it's not me or the other office staff member! Just a heads up to new or existing patients considering Dr. Mimari's Office. Do no harm by doing nothing! This is my story and I'm sticking to it

After waiting over a week after being referred for surgery, I still had not heard from the office staff of Dr. Mimari. I decided then, to call and attempt to make the appointment myself. I called at roughly 10:40 on a Monday and received a voice message that asked if I was a doctor to press a button, if I was a patient needing a refill, to contact the pharmacy, and if I was in need of an appointment I should call back during normal business hours. Unable to leave message, no call from them.
