I first met Dr. Castellanos while I was hospitalized and about to give birth. Due to my heart…read morecondition, he was asked to evaluate me to ensure that a cesarean delivery would be safe. During that visit, he informed me that my ejection fraction was around 40. Understandably, that was difficult news for me to hear--especially since I have very high health-related anxiety and PTSD from a previous cardiac arrest during surgery with another cardiologist. After delivering my baby and once things settled down, I sought out Dr. Castellanos to establish care with him as my primary cardiologist. I needed someone with good bedside manner but who could also be direct and honest. I was upfront about my anxiety and asked that he be gentle while still being straightforward, and he has respected that. At times, when Dr. Castellanos is busy, I see Haide (I believe she is a nurse practitioner). Initially, I wasn't thrilled--when you're not feeling well, you want to see the doctor directly. However, Haide completely changed my mind. She is absolutely amazing. She brings me so much comfort, is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and very thorough. She truly takes the time to listen. Whether I'm seeing Dr. Castellanos or Haide, I always come in with a list of questions, and they never make me feel rushed. They take the time to answer everything thoughtfully, which means so much when you're dealing with a serious heart condition. The office also has a PA named Kyla, who is very nice, though most of my care has been with Dr. Castellanos and Haide. I highly recommend this office and their entire staff. Thank you all for the care, patience, and reassurance you've given me.

I had an appointment with Dr. Rahavi back in 2021. I arrived early and brought my paperwork and…read moremedical records. Upon handing over my medical records, the receptionist said she was gonna need to keep them. I told her they were my only copies and asked that she make a copy of them or scan them into her system. She said, no, but I would have to give them to her or I couldn't see the doctor. She got pushy and agitated. Left the front desk with my medical records. Then she came back and said I would have to leave the office. I never got to see the doctor. There is definitely something odd going on in this office. I suspect they want to prevent their patience from getting second opinions. Perhaps they have some shady business practices. Or perhaps they are racist, as some others have suggested in these reviews. Whatever the reason is, I wouldn't trust him with my health.

My husband was under the care of Dr Sarabi for AFIB as well as heart failure. He recently had…read moreablation for his AFIB but was hospitalized for an unrelated infection for 4 days. In the hospital the ER as well as the attending doctors decided to scale back on two of his heart medications because his bp and heart rate were too low. We were told up to follow up with his cardiologist as soon as possible upon release to review meds and adjust dosage. We contacted Dr Sarabis office as soon as he was released. Left messages two days in a row. When the office called back, I relayed what the instructions were and asked if we could do a phone consult or in person so we know what to do. The office told us to wait until our next appt which was in almost three weeks. The only possible way to speak to dr Sarabi earlier is to subscribe to his concierge program for $4900. When I asked her what were we supposed to do for 3 weeks about his medication, she says just to continue as we had in the hospital. She mentioned he could see us the same day if we would pay the $4900. We have always used our blue cross ppo during our dr visits and never come across a situation like this. Needless to say, we will not be returning as his patients.

I am at an age where I see a lot of doctors. Within moments after checking in with the front office…read morestaff, I can usually predict whether I will feel comfortable with this doctor. Sometimes, as in this case, I override my intuition and try to make the best of it. Dr Sarabi's front office staff functions as his gate keepers. Their job is to isolate the doctor from contact with his patients. They perform their duties with military efficiency. Not a word is wasted on pleasantries, politeness, or any obvious concern about the patient's health. Dr Sarabi's preferred method of communicating is not by spending time in the exam room talking to his patient. It's a video call form the safety and privacy of his office. I had a medical emergency recently. My wife called the paramedics and, after spending the night in hospital, I thanked my wife and all the terrific caring professionals who treated my symptoms - from the paramedics to the hospital staff. I sent Dr Sarabi an E-Mail describing my medical emergency, which happened to be a condition that he had been treating for, asking him to prescribe a different BP med. No response. I called the next day and I was told by the gate keepers the doctor was very busy, and he would see me at our next scheduled office visit - SEVEN WEEKS LATER! This is not the response I expected, so I immediately found a more caring Cardiologist.
