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. Siavoshi is an exceptional doctor and problem-solver. She changed my life & is the best doctor I have ever had. After years of dwindling physical health, pain, numbness, & weakness I was finally referred to UCSD Neurology. Fortunately my appointment was with Dr. Siavoshi. This woman is amazing. She let the data lead. Rather than let prior hastily arrived at opinions influence her assessment, she took test, got labs, and developed a treatment plan to help alleviate constant pain. This stood in contrast to prior evaluations of my condition apparently informed solely by my age, gender, & appearance. We had some scary moments for sure but we also could rule out things such as MS. Dr. Siavoshi is attentive to the science of medicine & the care of her patients. I cannot speak more highly of her as a doctor. She identified & drastically improved my migraines, she identified & stopped peripheral neuropathy & associated pain due to poor nutrient uptake and, she took charge of neurological monitoring. I am forever grateful.

Sarah Siavoshi treated me for hydrocephalus and a vp shunt.I suffer from severe head pain.My head feels like its gonna blow due to that i have high blood pressure of 215/110 due to pain.Im in and out of hospital all the time.I have since previous to coronovirus trying to get an appointment with her at least by phone, no one returns my calls,i left messages,complaints, receive no responsee from either doctor nor receptionists.Its very cruel and unhuman what she has done with me as a patient. Shows no concern,shes very careless. Dr.Siavoshi does not treat her patients how she would like one of her family members or daughter to be treated if she had my health condition.I dont think she would like it if they payed no attention to her daughter or one of her family members,ignored her calls and didnt give them the attention as patient they required.Very unsatisfied and unhappy of her care.

Dr. Sara Siavoshi is definitely an advanced practitioner in her field. She’s always sharing new information with me about my thyroid issues, going above and showing that she really cares about her work and her patients.

My new favorite specialist. Of all the doctors I’ve had to see over the years, my visits with her are truly special. Couldn’t replace her, and wouldn’t want to.

Dr. Siavoshi is such a genuinely good person, she is always responsive when I need her. She was able to diagnose me with a vitamin deficiency that all my previous doctors missed. I trust her with my health entirely.

Very happy to have Sara in my life. She’s helped me so much through my trauma. She truly addresses her patients as a whole, mentally and physically, not just focusing on the brain. Thank you so much.

Very charming woman who is extremely knowledgeable. Best in the area as far as neurologists go, if not as far as doctors in general. Wonderful company.

Dr. Siavoshi really invests her time in me, it is truly amazing. I feel that she really cares about me personally, unlike almost every other doctor or specialist I’ve had for my seizures.

The only doctor I've ever had who is so incredibly reliable to get in contact with when I have a fit of anxiety and think something is seriously wrong. I was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor and have her by my side has helped me cope so much. Very grateful.

My doctor had referred me to Dr. Sara Siavoshi as I had some unexplained symptoms. My experiences with Dr. Siavoshi have been some of the most insightful of my life. Dr. Siavoshi was able to diagnose me with a rare auto-immune condition - finally I have some answers! She's made such a miraculous change in my life, I'm fortunate to have met her.

She was so insensitive and had horrible bedside manner. Clearly some of these reviews are inflated by fangirls. My experience with her was horrible. The staff was nice, but she was far from it. She should really take a look at her staff and learn some professionalism from them.

Dr. Sara Siavoshi saved my life. She told me to wake up And be mindful. It sounds nuts but it works. Her theory in mindfulness is the best thing you could ever imagine. Five stars. She’s good looking, but she’s smarter than Einstein. Comes from a good family. Brother served in military, dad is a minister and Mom is a nurse. The family is a servant to society and the lord. I suggest giving her a try. One of the to neurologists in the country! I see her for my headaches and she treats that well.

Sara Siavoshi does not treat her patients with respect first and foremost. She is rude, insensitive and lacks the knowledge to accurately diagnose and treat medical issues. See a different neurologist, do not waste your time.

Dr. Siavoshi has one of the best bedside manners I've encountered. She seemed to genuinely care that I understood what was going on with my health and didn't in anyway make me feel like I was wasting her time by asking questions, even though in the end I was referred to another specialist outside of neurology.

She is now in San Diego, CA. She was prompt, sympathetic, knowledgeable and took her time to do a thorough evaluation. She even spent extra time to call a national expert in Texas in order to get additional information on an important question. I would give her 6 stars if it were possible.
