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. Lashkari is our primary doctor. He has a great bedside manner and is clearly very knowledgeable. He is extremely responsive and clearly takes a great in interest in his patients. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Lashkari has been caring for my husband and sons for many years. He is kind, professional and responsive. He is always available and he is always SO gentle and eager to help. Although I am not his patient, he is available to family members when needed, and always seems to smile on the phone call. In an emergency he is amazing!! As a primary care physician he is thorough and orders and tests he feels are necessary for his patients care. Our family adores him!!

Dr. Lashkari is gentle, caring, and very capable. I fee assured the when I become ill, I don't have to wait two or three weeks to for a doctors appointment. Doctor Laskari's office staff usually books an appoint for me with the doctor on the day I call. If I am ill on the weekend or have a medical question, he is quick to respond to my text or email.

Communicative, compassionate, caring & intelligent! Dr. Lashkari gives his all! He enjoys getting to know his patients, & is not threatened if you bring him other information. He works together with his patients to find an accurate diagnosis. I feel fortunate to have a doctor who I can call in the middle of the night in emergency. He refers me to good doctors & gets me appointments if necessary.. He comes to my home if I can’t travel. Helps me decide which treatment is best. His staff -GREAT!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Lashkari?
Unsympathetic, dismissive, and downright incompetent. I came to him with unexplained fatigue, nausea, low WBC count, and several matted lymph nodes. He more or less treated me like a head case, dismissed all my symptoms. A week later he mistakenly ordered a PET/CT for me that was supposed to be for another patient. If I had not pressed the issue, and insisted the receptionist contact him (he was on vacation) I would have gotten a very expensive test with a huge amount of unnecessary radiation.

Extremely caring and knowledgeable. Always available. I once called him from Hawaii in the middle of the night and he responded to our emergency with great advice. He is always researching the best mode of treatment. I totally trust his judgment. He is very patient and listens well, I never feel rushed. Office staff is friendly and courteous.
