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 experience
Dr Rahimi is knowledgeable, caring and genuine. He listened to my thoughts re: ankle tendon surgery and I felt confident in our joint decision. His staff is lovely and punctual.

First visit with Dr. Rahimi. He was very thorough during the examination and is very knowledgeable. He took the time to carefully explain what he thought was going on with my foot and recommended treatment and follow-up. I felt very comfortable under his care.

I am a diabetic, suffering from neuropathy. The doctor always manually checks my pulse first thing, every appointment! He is very thorough, always on time, and very friendly.

This office is horrible. The staff is rude, will not help you, delay any paperwork that needs to be submitted, the doctor writes opposite information in the consults. Because of this office, I was fired from my job, my bone in my foot is broken and the doctor did not fix it. All he said is to wear the boot until the cement machine comes in and it has been 2weeks, he didn't even take no new scans after the surgery to compare the results and still I can not walk. This whole office does not care!!

One of the most horrible doctors office experience ever. The doctor and the office staff are careless and are least bothered about the patient. Very rude and un cooperative. Totally disappointed with the service.
