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. Kalantar-Zadeh is the finest doctor I've ever had at UCI. It's unfortunate that he has his last day and he's going to get UCLA. I will miss him very much.

It would have been helpful to know ahead of my appointment that Dr. Kalantar-Zadeh was leaving UCI witin 45 days of my first appointment (which required a 6 month lead time to schedule). I would have preferred to meet a different doctor who would provide continuity. This lack of transparent communication was not helpful.

Highly Published Ph.D.
Dr. Kalantar-Zadeh has a Ph.D. and more than 800 articles published in medical journals. Those are amazing credentials lacked by many medical school professors and doctors. I have taken with me to appointments copies of journal articles, including his journal articles to discuss in detail what I need to understand. It is encouraging to speak with a doctor who can provide the best advice supported by the latest research studies.

Dr Kalantar is in my opinion one of the best doctors at UCI Medical Center. I have seen him in the last couple of years for my kidney problem, and found him a great doctor. He patiently explained to me my conditions and progressions, and built a dynamic treatment plan with me that fits my schedule. He is highly experienced and exceedingly knowledgeable, and has always upheld a truly tall standard of professionalism. And yet he is a good communicator. A very thoughtful doctor, highly recommend!
