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.

Dissatisfaction and disappointment
Very disappointed with the service and attention received. Long wait times, secretary is very unprofessional. They will lose your paperwork, wont return your phone calls. There’s better healthcare options available in San Diego.

A competent physician
Had a persistent cough and low energy for weeks. A friend recommended dr Lajvardi and I reached out to him. He saw me within 24 hours. He immediately stopped the medicine that was prescribed by my previous physician and replaced it with something which took care of the illness in 48 hours. Great guy, great attitude. Knows what he’s doing. Highly recommend him. Very friendly staff.

Concerned About Me
Telehealth
I have been going to Dr. Lajvarde for a few years now. It has not been too difficult to schedule appointments or get follow up to my phone calls. I feel like Dr. Lajvarde is always willing to discuss my medical concerns. My last visit was by telephone as I just wanted to discuss a few items. He called me when expected and I did not feel like I was being cut short or anything on this teleconference.

Dedicated Doctor
Telehealth
Dr. Lajvardi is a very dedicated and compassionate doctor, and has given me great care for a number of years. He does both telehealth and office visits, which is great when I'm not feeling up to getting out, or it's a short follow-up visit. Dr Lajvardi keeps up with all the tests and screenings I needs, and is prompt in refilling medications like I needed today. He also always makes sure to ask if I need any other prescriptions filled, or if I have any questions.

Dr Lajvardi is a very compassionate physician who is a great listener and very reliable. He always gets back to me on urgent needs and frequently calls after hours to make sure he takes care of you when you need him. I am able to quickly get appointments when I need them.

Patient care
Dr Lajvardi is a very thorough and caring Dr. He follows up with tests and treatments to find the cause of your complaint. He isn’t ordering excessive tests rather he orders and refers to what you need specifically. He also always makes time to ask about you personally and remembers what you told him for the next visit. As a nurse I highly recommend him and trust him. I have been with him for over 15 years.

A patient for 7+ years
I lamented the loss of my “old” physician when I moved to San Diego from Illinois and fully expected to sample a number of physicians before finding a keeper. I started with Dr. Robert Lajvardi based on his education and experience and am still a patient. He started with a thorough work-up to establish a solid baseline for care and carefully investigates new concerns.

A doctor who cares about your health
Dr. Lajvardi’s a physician who I have been seeing since 2011. I like that he takes time to listen to me and acts accordingly. He has treated me for many Health problems and when a test is ordered, you get the results as soon as possible. He cares and goes over everything in a way that makes you feel comfortable. Dr. Lajvardi, who I totally trust is a very sweet and kind doctor. It is nice to have a doctor who cares about your health.

Very professional.
Dr. Lajardi’s a family practice physician who listens to his patients and acts accordingly , and when a test is ordered, you get the results as soon as possible. There’s only one concern and that’s the office staff they don’t answer the phone nor do they call you back other than that Dr. Lajardi is a very sweet kind doctor. He cares and goes over everything in a way that makes you feel comfortable. I totally trust him.
