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.

Dr. Rafii, is my cardiologist for 4 years. He is smart, caring & easy to talk to. He listens , takes his time & explains each step or change he makes. His support staff is the best. I highly recommend him.

This doctor saw my mother in the hospital when she had a heart attack. Because of COVID, we could not visit our mom in the hospital. He was gracious and kind to keep us infomred about what was going on with her care. He stayed late to take care of her and patient enough to walk us thru a most difficult time in our lives. My mom is alive and well now thanks to his care. We wish him wonderful prayers.

ARROGANT, CONDESCENDING, NO FOLLOW UP WITH FAMILY, Dr. Rafii treated my father who suffered a heart attack as an elderly COVID patient". Because my father was incapacitated, we were his legal representatives making decisions on his behalf. When Dr. Rafii called the family, without saying hello, he barked, "I want to be clear. I will only speak to one person and I will only explain once." Further, when he explained my father's prognosis, he was not in a stable place for phone reception and was "going under a bridge". Although he was difficult to hear and understand, he appeared to be bothered to have to repeat or explain anything. I took careful notes on the conversation. He said two things that were the exact opposite of one another in his diagnosis and was astonished and curt when I asked for clarity. He agreed to call us after he saw our father the next day. We never heard from him again.

Dr. Rafii walked into the room with a confident stride and a welcoming smile that made us feel at ease. He is so knowledgable as a physician. My husband had a strong reaction to one of his medications, and Dr. Rafii made an executive decision to change my husband's medication regimen to ensure it was compatible with him. Everything has been great since then!

Dr. Rafii is the most honest person and caring doctor that I know. He spends more time with patients than any other doctor, and his ability to diagnose health problems goes well beyond his training as a cardiologist and as an internist. I would recommend Dr. Rafii only to the worthiest of patients.

My mom has been trying to get the care she needs and Dr Rafii was the first doctor that really listened and helped with an issue we have been dealing with for almost 2 years. He really listened to my Mom and helped to calm her nerves. We both feel very comfortable with Dr Rafii and know that he will make the best decisions for my mom's care. We so appreciate all you have done after only 1 appointment! I would recommend Dr Rafii to all my family and friends. THANK YOU!
