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.

Beware
We had a tongue tie for our daughter done with this doctor. After the procedure she turned blue at night because of the trauma of the operation formula had caked in the back of her throat. Luckily we were there to help her. When we asked the doctor about this he acted as if he had no idea why this happened.

Incomplete Tongue Tie Revision
Dr. Bahadori performed a tongue tie revision on my newborn. The tie was severe but at the follow-up appointment he told us that it looked good and we should see an improvement with nursing. Unfortunately that wasn't the case and we ended up seeing a lactation consultant who gave us a referral to a speech pathologist. She told us that a posterior tongue tie was still there and that Dr. Bahadori is notorious for only partially revising tongue ties (correcting the anterior tie). Unfortunately that means we have to go back and repeat the revision in order to fix it completely in order for my son to be able to eat efficiently. We are very disappointed that although Dr. Bahadori was polite and seemed competent, we were one of apparently many people who have received incomplete tongue tie revisions from him. Hopefully this review helps other parents avoid having to repeat this procedure like we do.

Starting with the Courteous Receptionist when first walking in,each staff member (Blood work nurse,X-ray technician,Doctor’s Assistant,Exit billing staff,and Others) presented themselves in a positive,professional manner. We were truly impressed with your nice facility and the caring staff and friendly can do attitude and smiles. Our Dr.Bahadori is TRULY AMAZING,as well as The Front Desk Staff were Incredible on all visits we made to the office they are professional and very thorough.they are always very nice,and it is nice to be treated well with Professionalism and tender loving care since you are the patient in need of help.I have always been able to talk to Doctor Bahadori and get my kids problems resolved,made me feel that my kids were in safe hands,I never forget Dr.Bahadori call following up on my son after his surgery the same night twice and the next day too making sure everything is well. Caring,smiling and laughing is the best atmosphere for patients specially for kids

Dr. Bahadori & his team are AMAZING! I wish I had a better memory & remembered the Directors name at Reston but she went above & beyond to ensure my son was seen the same week. The process couldn't have gone smoother & I felt entirely at ease with my child in their hands. They truly were great & as if that weren't good enough, Dr. Bahadori himself, personally takes the time to call & follow up to check on the kids. It was a great experience & I salute you! You all are superstars!

After suffering for 10+ years for blocked sinus, I was relieved to find Dr. Bahadori. He diagnosed my polyp condition quickly and scheduled surgery within a month. It has been three months since my surgery and finally I can breathe through my nose (after years of being miserable). Setting appointments with his office was a breeze and he had great bed-side manner. What more can you ask for?

After 4 months of suffering sinusitis, taking 120 plus antibiotic pills, steroids,  constant wheezing, sleeplessness and shortness of breath, I finally feel human again after Dr. Bahadori performed balloon sinuplasty on me. It took this educated, light-handed, experienced, and caring Dr. Robert Bahadori with his quick responding  smiling staff, and a modern procedure room filled with the state-of-the-art tools to fix me up in 30 minutes. Thank you Dr Bahadori. You are the best. Barry M

Such a long wait the 2 times we had afternoon appointments.. Over an hour we are talking each time.. And then the visit itself feels very rushed once you're in there to see him

Dr. Bahadori was great when working with my child, at the time only 10 months old. He explained everything to me and answered any questions I had. The issue I have is not with him, but with some of the staff at this office. The main receptionist at the front is very rude and also when I took my daughter there for a hearing test I was told they couldn't do it because the person who does it called out sick. I took off work, picked up my child from daycare and drove there for our appt. for nothing

Dr. Bahadori came highly recommended and he is clearly very skilled in his profession. However, his bedside manner was disappointing. He appeared very put out by the questions we had and almost defensive in his responses. As nervous parents, with our child in his first surgery ever, this made us uncomfortable. His decisions and perspectives on the best steps for our child were likely spot on, but we needed someone who could explain those decisions to us.
