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.

Excellent Doctor
She listened to all my concerns. She was very knowledgeable. Very caring and kind. I loved her. Big loss to Kaiser when she leaves. Wish her all the best.

Great doctor
I had the privilege of visiting Dr. Farahani, and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised to see any negative reviews about her. Dr. Farahani embodies the ideal healthcare professional, as she patiently listens to all my concerns and explains everything with exceptional kindness and clarity. Her commitment to her patients' well-being is truly commendable.

Great doctor
I'm surprised to see these negative reviews. I've seen doctor Farahani for a few years now and she has always been kind, professional and takes time to listen to my concerns. She even performed a hysteroscopy on me this year and my experience was great.

The Best Care I've Ever Received
I'm so grateful I have Dr. Farahani as my OBGYN. At every appointment I've had I've felt seen - not just as a patient but as a person - I feel listened to and cared for in a kind and professional manner. Dr. Farahani has listened to every concern I've had and has helped to tailor my care based on my personal needs, taking in these concerns where appropriate and patiently guiding me past any that might be based in my worry alone without belittling those feelings. I don't think I've ever looked forward to a doctor's appointment, let alone OBGYN, but Dr Farahani helps explain everything and makes me feel at ease to the point where I feel willing and able to keep up with important appointments and routine care.

Extremely condescending and dismisses concerns
Extremely disappointing experience with Dr Farahani. She has a very condescending attitude, with no patience to listen to your concerns. Even trivializes them to an extent you feel it’s silly to even mention them. She dismissed my concerns, failed to diagnose an issue on time because of this attitude and did not provide solutions when they were so easily available and diagnosable, and at a stage when they could be fixed. If you ask many questions, or ask them again for clarification, she will make you feel as if you are ignorant. If you do your research and ask questions, she will make you feel as if you are not doing the right think by “questioning her skills and experience.” In either case, you don’t stand a chance of being heard by her.

I was expecting a friendly, well-mannered gyno who would genuinely take interest in patients concerns. She cut me off twice while I was trying to explain my problem and I felt as she just was in rush like she is seeing patient in emergency room. She kept saying, "if you want to do it" like hello woman, if I wanted to do something, why would I bother coming here? I appreciate the choice to decide on my own, but the way she kept saying made me feel uncomfortable and regret seeing her. I wish she took time to listen rather than just blurting out what she think is right and what I am telling is completely wrong. Least to day, I found her rude and rushed.

She is the liar ,cruel, rude. Her attitude is irrational. Her behavior isn’t suit to be such a nice word” Doctor “she scares the patient so that patient would do whatever she wants them to do .She compels the patient to do what is in her favor.She mocked at me .She puzzled me saying your baby isn’t in stress .you are dehydrated when IV is given everything fine.Lets induce you.I said no I don’t want to induce why to induce she said your regular doctor scheduled tomorrow for induction.She said your baby will be big and will be difficult for vaginal delivery.I said My due date is after three days I can go natural contraction so I don’t want induction and my baby is 51 percentile in sonogram I did 10 days before and every sonogram is smoothly going.No hurry to induce three days before due date.When I said so she knew I didn’t go to induce she scared me if you go home your baby will die.I asked why may be you will be dehydrated again.cruel and scary word made me to stop there .

I regret going to her during my pregnancy. She was very rude to me. Whenever i would ask her some question she would make me feel that i was dumb to ask such questions. During my third trimester when i was ready to give birth she emailed me that i had a disease which was going to be passed to my baby. I went to another doctor to discuss this who asked me to relax as it was not something serious. She had scared me rather than making me relaxed. I would never recommend her as a doctor
