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.

I high PSA level was detected on me and I was referred to Dr Tabatabaei. He asked a few questions and recommended a biopsy to rul out cancer, he assured me that it was going to be fairly painless and would be back to normal in a few hours. He performed the biopsy and send me home. When the anesthesia wore off unbearable pain started and I was bleeding profusely, I was bedridden for two days with pain and bleeding. My results came back negative and he recommended to continue monitoring. My PSA continued a slow but steady rise, he recommended that we did another biopsy. He never recommended less invasive diagnosis methods. When I was reluctant to another biopsy, he delegated me to his nurse practitioner and never saw me again. I have a friend that was treated by him and performed prostatic reduction surgery and he went back under the knife the next day. I my opinion he pushes procedures that require expensive surgery that is performed by him of course. I no longer see Dr T

Dr Tabatabaei made me feel relaxed and confident on my upcoming surgery, hes a perfect gentleman , and compassionate. He gave me the reasons why surgery needs to be done. He assured me that I will stay in the hospital until Im comfortable enough to go home. Dr Tabatabaei and his staff have an A + in my book Ray

Dr. Tabatabaei is one of the best of the best. He performed the Greenlight laser surgery in 2016 and it changed my life. 2 years later and I have nothing but glowing reports - it was a complete success and I'd highly recommend Dr. T.

I was urinating 3 times at night & twice during the day. This doctor performed a laser procedure. My urination rate immediately tripled, I lost all sexual function, I began vomiting once a day, and developed persistent hives. When I told this doctor, he became extremerly nervous and defensive. He refused to see me again. I believe he knew that he had malpracticed. His office staff made several scheduling and billing errors.
