I truly don't even know where to begin, but I am beyond disappointed and utterly shocked with this office. There was absolutely no compassion and zero accountability from Dr. Afrasiabi. What started as a small bump on my father's skin -- which he specifically expressed concern about -- was brushed off by Dr. Afrasiabi as "possibly an infected pimple." We trusted her professional judgment, and that was a mistake. That so-called "pimple" turned out to be a fast-growing aggressive cancerous tumor. We just spent 12 hours in the hospital between radiology scans and a three-hour surgery to remove the tumor. When we returned to this office last week, Dr. Afrasiabi didn't apologize, didn't show empathy, and didn't take any responsibility for the misdiagnosis. She acted as if getting cancer was no big deal. And mind you all 3 devices of EKG were broken the day of our visit, which needed to be done urgently to get clearance for his operation today on 12/3/25. The lack of compassion was shocking. No patient -- especially someone facing a cancer diagnosis -- should ever be treated this way. I am deeply disappointed that someone like this Dr. Afrasiabi is allowed to care for patients. This may have been prevented months ago if the doctor had listened to my father's concerns and taken his symptoms seriously. But now we are forced to spend the next week anxiously waiting for biopsy results, praying the cancer hasn't spread and hoping for the best possible news. If you're looking for a doctor who listens, shows empathy, and takes concerns seriously, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. read more

I had an excellent Botox experience with Dr. Afrasiabi. My goal was to reduce some fine lines without losing my ability to express myself. Dr. Afrasiabi was fantastic--she was clear, professional, and had a very gentle technique. The results are perfect: my skin looks smoother and more youthful, but completely natural. The entire staff was friendly and the office was pristine. I'm so happy with the outcome and will definitely be back! read more

My name is Robert W. I have known Dr. Shirin Afrasiabi for about 10 years and I have nothing but praises for her. She is very professional, kind, spends the time she needs to care for me none of this 15 minutes and you are out the door. She is someone I would absolutely recommend to any member of my family or my friends. I am grateful to have Dr. Afrasiabi and thank her for her diagnostics and excellent care she has always provided for me. read more

This office is very unprofessional and they clearly do not care about patients or their health. I've been trying to get in to see Dr. Afrasiabi for a physical for 3 months, taken off work multiple times (because their hours are ridiculous) and they have cancelled my appointments at the last minute TWICE. Not a dependable doctor or office I would give zero stars if possible read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Shiring Afrasiabi for 6 months now and appreciate the care she has provided. In addition of being knowledgeable and skillful in her field, she is kind and compassionate. Her guidance in providing the right medication for my condition, her follow ups (after hours & on weekends) is so appreciated. I find her office/admin people just as competent, professional and caring as she is. read more

Wow... Somebody get Celeste a pitchfork!!! Dr. A must have done something truly awful to you. Tell us about it. #YOUUMADBRO? #OMGYAY seriously Dr Afrasiabi, I love you bro. You are truly a long time life guide, and amazing troubleshooter. If you wanna go to some urgent care to get instant gratification and whatever useless cocktail of drugs they deem worth profiting from that day than perhaps the good doctor is not what you are looking for. If I want to live healthily forever, then I will go to someone who will look under the hood a little and determine what would best serve my long term goals instead of the serving the greedy short term ones. #NOTFORPROFITEERING #GOODMEDICALPRACTICE #SOMEBODYMIGHTBEANADDICT #DIAGNOSTICMEDICINE read more

Dr. Afrasiabi and Dr. Taeed are both caring, ethical and genuine doctors. I have had the pleasure of being treated by both doctors. Appointments are easily made and if you're on time to your appointment, the wait is less than 5-10 minutes. Clean clinic and office all around. All the ladies working at the front office are also very sweet and a pleasure to be greeted by. I am so happy with each visit bc I know I am in the right hands. Thank you doctors. read more

I was so fortunate to find this Dr. As a senior on Medicare, I have become used to Dr's spending all of 10 minutes with me without listening. Dr. Shirin has incredible diagnostic skills, warm, caring and reminds me of the Dr's I had years ago, Her staff is as friendly as she is--I truly scored with Dr. Afrasiabi and feel totally confident being in her care! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Afrasiabi for more than three years. She is a very compassionate doctor and always cares. I always enjoy her sense of humor too! She has a very nurturing presence and takes time to figure out what is going on with you. Over the years, as healthy as I am, I have had issues with chronic coughs that linger, and she was able to get rid of it with some medication. She is an internal medicine doctor, so she is always considering the long term effects of what medication you are on like antibiotics. She has also helped me manage my weight and my hypothyroidism. Thank you Dr. Afrasiabi! read more

Dr. Afrasiabi is a genus. She has a special talent and truly knows her stuff. At first I was hesitant to switch my primary physician, but as soon as I walked into the office I was greeted by the lovely staff who's kind, professional and sincere. They engaged in a conversation with me which made me feel like I had been there before. I filled out paperwork and within minutes I was taken back, where I met Dr. Afrasiabi. Dr. Afrasiabi really cares about her patients, she asked me questions I've never been asked before. I let Dr know about my symptoms and she had me take several tests to find out my condition. Finally a doctor who figured out what was wrong with my health. Thank you Dr. A you are incredible. Throughout my office visits the staff was aware of my condition and would always make me feel at ease. I really love them like family now. read more

I don't have any complaints about my experiences with Dr. Afrasiabi. She is a very friendly and courteous doctor, and I like her as a person. I only wish that they could take early morning, evening or weekend appointments so that I could better work around my job schedule. read more

As I said in previous review that I'm so happy to have Dr Afrasiabi as my family primary and she is very kind and has a lot of experience

Dr Afrasiabi is very compassionate, caring, intuitive, and wise doctor. She found out what my medical problem was, when 5 other doctors were not able to do so. I highly recommend her. read more

Finally a doctor that can add up all of the clues and find out what's wrong with you! I have had 2 appointments with dr. A and she has already cured my headaches of 10 years! My first visit she took me into her office and actually talked to me! She looked over all of my previous medical history and ask me a lot of questions. And in doing this she was able to put the pieces together and actually solve My Health crisis! Thank you Dr. A for being compassionate, proactive for my health and having a great office staff! read more

It is CRAZY that we still have doctors like Afrasiabi allowed to practice medicine. Every single experience I had with this DR has been a nightmare. As most of her patients should know, she only takes cash for her suboxone customer, she insists on paying a first time fee and then a $100 fee each returning visit in exchange for the prescription. This is not uncommon practice but she takes it one step further and will try to bill your insurance to get additional money if you stop being a patient at her office. The first two visits were not too bad other than her rude front desk who always seem inconvenienced if you had any type of questions, i shrugged and moved on. The third visit is when I started to become more alarmed- I had mentioned how my neck was feeling a little stiff but it probably was nothing as I slept on it wrong- she immediately insisted on giving me a shot to help out with this, before I could ask what the shot was, what the cost of the shot was, and if I really even needed it, her little helper was in the exam room with me giving me a shot with no opportunities for me to slow down this process. Of course, when I went to go leave, they had a $35 bill waiting for me for agreeing to the shot. It felt uncomfortable as it was laid on me so quickly but it wasn't too large of a sum of money so I just agreed to pay. As I was leaving, Dr Afrasiabi decided she wanted to provide me welbutrin- at this point, she told me I could not get it through my insurance and I had to pay cash- She gave me a one month supply and charged me $90 which I found extremely strange. I have never been a prescription from the doctor over the counter, made to pay cash, and knowing I could of gone through insurance. I tried asking questions but they quickly skipped over them and it was clear they are simply trying to collect as much cash as possible At this point, I decided to seek out another DR, I found a very well respected DR whom I explained my experience with Dr Afrasiabi with and he was extremely alarmed and stated the selling of Welbutrin over the counter for cash is in a gray area but she did to earn more cash from the patient. I immediately stop seeing Dr Afrasiabi at this point as it was clear she was only after the money. They started to harass me via phone calls claiming I owed them $600 - this would be impossible as every visit they made me pay cash and would not write a prescription until they got THEIR MONEY. I received a $600 bill in the mail now, I spoke with their billing department, after explaining the situation- they decided to waive the $600 - they did not waive the $600 because they are kind - they waived it as they know this DR is scamming people out of their money and then billing the insurance companies to double dip. Who would waive a $600 fee for no reason? NO ONE, they were covering up so I would go away and they could keep doing this to others. She prays on recovering addicts who need this medicine. After speaking with other doctors in the industry, it was told to me that her reputation is known. It will only be a matter of time before everyone comes to this realization. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Find a doctor who cares and will not use you for your money. read more

I did not have a great experience. I was first invited into the doctors office, her literal office not a medical room, where she proceeded to ask me questions pertaining to my mental health. The door was wide open. Within five minutes a nurse walked in with someone's EKG results and handed it to the doctor- the one I was supposed to be having a consultation with. The doctor gave the nurse her initial assessment of the data right in front of me; I thought this was a bit disrespectful of our time together but also potentially a privacy concern. After some additional exchange the nurse left and closed the door on her way out. After answering a few more of the doctors questions her phone rings and she takes the call. Again, I have the same concern as before. Eventually the questions come to an end and I leave the office to receive an EKG by one of the nurses. I was later billed a little over seven hundred dollars and only fifty of that was against the EKG. The rest of the amount was for the brief chat I had with the doctor. I do not feel any wiser regarding my physical health and will be looking for another professional to consult in the future. read more

I first came to Dr. Afrasiabi 5 months ago, and she has been treating me bi-weekly since. The office is clean and bright and the staff is always very friendly and welcoming. Shabana is the office manager and has always been extremely professional and kind while helping me with my situation. Some days, she is all alone and is still able to handle the dozen phone calls coming in while helping patients get checked in. I've even seen some patients being unnecessarily disgruntle with her, and yet she always kept her cool. I have had to make emergency appointments on the regular, and they were able to accommodate more than half the time. (most offices I have dealt with don't have openings for 2 to 3 months!). The best time to be seen quickly is to make an appointment as soon as they open. But the wait in general has been no more than 15 minutes for me. Kenya has always taken me out back for vitals with the biggest smile and genuinely asks how you are doing. As for the Dr. herself, she treats her patients like part of the family and truly tries to give the best possible care to them. She is professional, but not in a stand-offish kind of way, very personable. Would definitely recommend this office. read more

Dr. Afrasiabi is an excellent physician. She has been my primary care doctor for the last 18 months. Her diagnostic skills are superb. During each visit she takes the time that is appropriate; she is not impatient to get to the next patient. My health has greatly improved in these 18 months, and I give her all the credit for my improvement. Before seeing her, I had gone through more than seven years of serious health problems. I now have a much better quality of life due to my improved health. read more

I am very unhappy with Dr. Afrasabi as my primary doctor. As mentioned by the other person, this office has a very bizarre schedule. There isn't an advice nurse that can answer simple questions and Dr. Aftasiabi is the strangest doctor I have ever come into contact with. I have had 3 appointments with her and she has never once given me any type of physical exam even when mentioning vertigo symptoms and other issues. She explained to me that this technique is not necessary and she does not have time. Her bedside manner is abrupt, rude, and she is an awful listener. One of her statements to me was "what, do you think you have a special disease that no one can figure out?".....quite honestly, that is not my job to figure out it is hers. In the 3 months that I have been involved with this office, nothing has changed for me. I actually feel worse and more unaware than I did before I ever stepped in her office. Clear and simple..this lady should not be a dr. I should have followed my gut when I first met her and changed. And every time you visit you get an email asking for a rating of the visit...really? If she had a good word of mouth this would be trivial. She is begging for praise that is not deserved. read more
