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.

Top notch doc
Went in for vasectomy, in and out in 20 minutes with minimal pain. Good bedside manner, humor and knowledge.

Excellent doctor, gentle, kind and very thorough, and caring with super bedside manners. Extremely satisfied with him. However, his office staff leaves much to be desired, absolutely impossible to reach a person without leaving multiple telephone messages, and calls are sometimes not returned at all, very frustrating. If it were not for the fact that I highly trust respect this doctor I would look elsewhere.

My family lost our father last week to prostate cancer that he had been battling the last couple of years. The last few months were extremely tough as our family and our father did everything possible to fight for his survival and I can tell you there is no urologist we would have wanted other than Dr. Alavian. He was beyond compassionate and supportive, spending time on the phone with our entire family when he could have been home with his own. He was always patient in answering our questions, following up with our million phone calls, and his clinical skills are stellar. My father entrusted no one more than Dr. Alavian when it came to his care and even though this is not how we would have liked the story to end we know that he was cared for by the best. We are eternally grateful to Dr. Alavian, his staff and can assure people if you are looking for a urologist this is where you want to be. They don't make a lot of doctors like this anymore.
