Highly recommend her! She has delivered two of my babies. My first was a very traumatic birth and she made sure my second was a very smooth and beautiful healthy birth. After we lost our second daughter to a heart condition when she was two years old she helped me through our third pregnancy with our rainbow baby and through his delivery. She's extremely caring and her staff is amazing. Absolutely love this place. Wish she would've been able to deliver our 4th baby but we moved out of state. read more

She discovered polyps in the uterus and gave me good advice regarding PAP smears after a "certain" age after I was ignored by Kaiser. I try to be an educated patient (even though some doctors don't like it because it is outside their communication skill set to explain in common language)...not Dr. Almassi. She took every opportunity to explain what, when, how and why about everything. Sometimes, professionals don't hire the right staff - the front desk begins the evaluation process for any physician. I agree that her staff speaks about patients too loudly;' they have a cramped workspace so it's probably difficult to discuss without being overheard. read more

My wife had to have an emergency delivery while she was the on call Doc. Was real nervous about having someone we knew nothing about. She was great! Helped keep my wife calm and had a successful C section. Not sure why there's such bad reviews on here. read more

I want to make this as clear as I can. I saw some post praising this so called doctor and saying the bad reviews were uncalled for. Let me start with saying, SHUT THE HELL UP. You have NO idea what others have gone through. September of last year, I found out I was pregnant with my second child. We were ecstatic. I have a seven year old and my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for the last 3 years. I am high risk because I was 41. We new the risks so right away, everything changed for the better. I was referred by my regular doctor and it was the only OB that my insurance took. Each appt, I had to wait for almost an hour. Once I was called for my appt, it lasted less than 15min. My HGC number were growing but when I had an ultrasound, there was a heart beat. My peanut was there. She was a little shocked but said it looks good. She also found that I had some cysts that I knew nothing about but didn't say if it was good or bad. I did more blood work for my HGC numbers. Before I could go to my appt. I started to bleed. When I called in, the nurse that I spoke to said," Yeah babe, that is a miscarriage." I was shocked that she just said this to me over the phone. I freaked out and called my husband. I believe it was that week that they were able to see me. My husband accompanied me and we waited almost 2 hours. Once I went in, my blood pressure was up the roof. Yes, I was obviously scared. The doctor came in. Was quiet. I knew, I had miscarried. I was laying on the bed crying, shaking. She is looking at me as I was a strange animal. "Is this your first one?" She asked looking at me strangely. Um...ma'am, whether it was my first or 5th, what difference does that make. No was no remorse what so ever. No companion, no empathy. Her reasoning for the miscarriage, my age. I got out of there as fast as a could. About 3 days later, I received a called from Dr. Almassi's office about another appt. I told the person over the phone, "You know I lost the baby?" They apologized and I just hung up. I didn't hear back after that. No follow up nothing. The one whole only called me was my primary doctor because I had called to let them know I had lost the baby so I would be going to my regular appts. My doctor called me on her off time to check on me. Wonderful person. Now to 9 months later. I found out I was pregnant again. Now, 42 and taking blood pressure medicine, I was in the best shape I had been. I really took my miscarriage hard so I had to make some changes. My primary doctor said unfortunately I was referred back to Dr. Almassi. I told myself, maybe things are different and she will be excited to see me. I went back, all bubbly and smiling. She see's me and see peanut #2. It was small but I was really early. You could clearly see the heart beat. Again, super excited. My blood work is good. My HGC numbers are looking great. I was one day short to 3 months and when I woke up in the morning, I was bleeding. My husband rushed with me to my appt. I am thinking nothing of it because with my daughter, I actually bled the first 3 months so I was really trying to be positive. My stomach was growing so it can another miscarriage. I was wrong. It was another miscarriage. I'm in shock. My husband is the only one answering questions because I can't speak. I did everything right and took so care of myself. The reasoning? My age, again. My fault. After 3 weeks, the bleeding and pain is still there. Dr. Almassi never called to run more tests like she said she would. Never called to check on me. I called my primary doctor and she saw me right away. I sat in her office crying. She felt terrible and she hugged me and told me we would resolve this. I was in her waiting room for 5 min and in with her for an hour. She requested so many tests to be ran to see why I am still in pain. Well, I did an ultra sound and vaginal exam. Lo and behold, there it was. When the result came back, i had 4 cysts, 2 on each ovary. I had a gallstone that was 2cm big and need my gallbladder removed. The most severe one was that they found that I have Hydronephrosis. Fluid in my left kidney. It was too much information all at the same time. All the medical techs were wondering why so many test and if my OB requested. Nope, until this day, I have not heard back from her office. My primary doctor, who is one absolutely bad ass, requested these tests. Right away she referred me to a new OB, a gallbladder specialist, and a Urologist. After meeting with each, everyone said I needed my kidney fixed before anything. My Urologist was wondering how I figured out that I had this issue. I told I went in for a miscarriage and came out with all this. He told me that one of the main reasons for the miscarriage was my kidney. He was actually really upset they my OB didn't catch on to this. The problem was front and center. my next step, file a complaint to the medical board because no woman should go through what I did. read more

The wait here is crazy. You get scheduled for ex. At 10am & won't get seen until like 11:30am .... It was always annoying every time I went for my appointment. Their office set up is kinda awkward because it's small & the nurses talk about your private business so loud. I don't know if there was a misunderstanding, but after I gave birth & Dr Almassi came to see me at the hospital she said that her office would give me a call for my 6 week check up I never received that call. decided to just wait on that call, but never received anything. It's been 2 months & 3weeks ... still no call to make that appointment. I know I could have also called myself and make an appointment, but I wanted to see if she actually cared for her patients clearly she does not care. Seems like she only cares for that insurance money. She also seemed rude when I was giving birth not just towards me, but to the sweet, kind nurses there helping with the delivery read more

OMG! I am a new patient of Dr Almassi. I am having a partial hystarectomy and reading all these negative reviews has gotten me freaking out. I left my dr because I wanted a dr that practiced out of John Muir instead of Sutter. I pray I didn't make a mistake. The first time I saw dr Almassi, I did wait along time before she came in to see me, which was annoying. I have hand picked pretty much all my dr's by reading reviews, and I see quite a few dr's for my medical issues. I should have reviewed her before choosing to see her. With 90% of negative reviews, I definitely would have chosen someone else. Honestly speaking, when I did finally meet her, I thought she was nice. read more

Long wait for the first time at her office, the NP came in to see me and she called the doc. Dr Almassi examined me while I was pregnant then she said she could not feel anything or any signs of pregnancy. Despite of having a positive pregnancy test at her office that day, she insisted this might be a chemical pregnancy; they come and go. I did not believe her. I asked for blood tests, then she said ok we can test your blood to see if pregnancy hormones go up. She was so insensitive and cold. The worse doctor ever. I never went back to her office again. I was traumatized at that office. Don't waste your time and money at this office specially since she has changed her location for years now and her office relocated. I saw pics the rooms are ugly. read more

Speaking for a loved one- This is one of the worst experiences she has ever had. Never mind the office being extremely disorganized, forgetting to send prescriptions to the pharmacy (after numerous follow up calls for them to do it and to find out at the pharmacy, 3 attempts later, they still hadn't sent the script through)- Dr Almassi told my loved one that she could NOT get pregnant naturally... we went to 2 other doctors who both said that based on the test results that was ABSOLUTELY False- nothing was out of the ordinary and they couldn't fathom why Dr Almassi would say that. She was also very curt with my friend giving this news. Very rude. No empathy. Dr Almassi is the worst- do not waste your time. read more

Dr.Almassi is best of the best. If you are lucky enough to have her as your OB doctor, you should know that you are in safe hands. She is very knowledgeable, caring and down to earth. She takes time to examine you and make sure everything is ok. you never feel rushed. She always answers all your questions and concerns patiently. I highly recommend this amazing doctor. read more

I will not be back and am switching providers, awful experience here. As a clinician myself I would not treat my pts the way I was treated by this provider. She clearly has too many pts and did not seem interested in me or have time to listen to my concerns. I did not feel heard or respected. The in office procedure I had done was not handled properly in my opinion but that did not seem to concern her. Her office staff is mostly nice but I felt more like a number than a person. Bedside manner is abrupt and dismissive. Honestly very disappointed, horrible example of how healthcare should be delivered. read more

I would like to write a review to give a little perspective on the negative listings here. I've had 3 kids and normal female checkups for 25+ years with other OB's and I have to say Dr. Almassi is one of the most compassionate, thoughtful, and thorough doctors I've ever had. You may need to wait but that's likely because she's taking time with people who are dealing with life-changing events, whether they are pregnancies, miscarriages, emergency births, STD's, etc. Take a minute and think of the bigger picture. Dr. Almassi is probably on-call constantly, could be needed at the hospital at a moments' notice, could be trying to fit a patient in who had an unexpected issue with her pregnancy - and she still takes the time to treat you like you're special or that your concerns are unique, or runs extra diagnostics to give you peace of mind - as she did for me with my recent miscarriage. We all have busy lives, but just set aside some time and grab a book and consider that there are other people who might need her more than you in that moment. If you want excellent thorough care, with conscientious staff who knows how to prioritize - Dr. Almassi is worth any wait. read more

Keep calling their office to get an appointment for almost 4 months and never received any return call as they promised that they they gonna give a phone call if there's an available slot. And suddenly, I received a billing statement that I missed an appointment in January that I was not aware of. The staff are rude, no empathy and no good customer service. read more

Terrible terrible terrible. Con artist. Anyway to get money. Purposely overbooks in a gross way. Staff are overworked because of the greed to overbook. 2 hour wait time. 10/10 would NOT reccomend If you want to be seen as a patient with needs and not just a walking piggy bank, go elsewhere. Not an honorable practice. read more

The office is extremely unorganized and would have me waiting in the waiting room for 15 mins before they even checked me in. Then I would wait 30-1 hr every time before the DR even came into the room. I had to repeat myself each visit as they never took notes to keep track of my progress. What REALLY MADE ME LEAVE THIS OFFICE- I called the office wanting to speak to the DR about some important thoughts that were worrying me, the MA called me back and said the DR told them to tell me it could wait and to just ask it at my next visit which wasn't until about 1 1/2 weeks away. HORRIBLE! How can you rely on a DR like this. Now that I have left- her office staff has refused to send over all of my medical records even though I already signed a record release on my last visit with them. read more

Dr Almassi is an amazing doctor. She may run behind, but she never rushes through her patients making them feel like their care and concerns do not matter. She is a phenomenal doctor and I highly recommend her. read more

If I could give this office 0 stars I would. If it wasn't for Lisa the nurse practitioner I would give the a negative. First off the new office is on High School street in concord. It's a shared office between Dr. Almassi and Dr. Banskter. I was recommended by my general doctor here. Horrible mistake. My First appointment I got there maybe 5 mins early. I was checked in and asked to sit. I waited in the waiting room for 45 minutes. The front desk rep didn't even acknowledge that she ( Dr. Almassi) was running late. 45 mins later they called my name. I sat in the room for another 10 or so for the doctor. At this point it's been an hour and I have to pick up my child. We talked less than 10 mins. It was a consultation regarding birth control. I told her what I wanted to get a new Mirena. She said they'll contact my insurance to see if it was covered and give me a call in 2 weeks. 2 weeks I know insurance process are slow but Really. 2 weeks later NO CALL. I called them and talked to some authorization Rep. To be short we played phone tag for 2 days. After that they said they'll order it and it's another week. 3 weeks now for birth control! It arrived finally. Mind you I called to check to see if it was in. So booked an appointment so I can get this done. Few days before the office called to cancel appointment bc Dr. Almassi had an emergency. OKAY. We're just not working out but I need this. Booked another appointment for about a week later with Lisa the nurse practitioner. Lisa is young and nice. Wait for her is much shorter. She was kind and patience. So far happy with her. I'm at my LAST EVER appointment right now actually still waiting for her. Overall I DO NOT recommend this place. This is my 3rd time here because of inefficient office and apparently a doctor that over books her appointments. Each time ive been here the waiting room is packed with annoyed faces that they been here for a while. Word of advice don't over book. Allow more time with your patience so your not ALWAYS behind. Be courteous. Let us know your running 45mins late! And another thing. Maybe put up a pretty picture on the walls in the roons. Make us feel relax before we just have to open up. It's like hospital walls. Dry as hell. Either way I'm not coming back Sorry this was long but its been a down hill battle with this place from the beginning. read more

Almassi Mehrnoosh, MD - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Concord, California

I am very disappointed with the service here. Dr. is always running 30-60 minutes behind for a scheduled appointment. I needed a refill on my birth control and explained that I was completely out. We are now on day 3 with 4 phone calls and still no approval (she hasn't gotten to it yet, the Dr. is very busy). I have been on the same pill for 10 years, so should have been no issue with refilling it. Even the Pharmacy said this was unacceptable. The Doctor is nice and I haven't had a bad experience with the actual medical care, they just need to figure out how to be more timely. Needless to say, I will be finding a new OB. read more

I waited 2 months for my appointment for them to call 20 minutes before to say that she needed to cancel. I rescheduled for a second appointment for 3 weeks later which was the earliest that they could do. For that appointment, they cancelled again 25 minutes prior to my appointment. The person on the phone said that the doctor put aside the next day to make up for the cancellations but the times available we're only from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. . For those people who work, like me, I can't take off work last minute. The earliest appointment that they can make was two and a half weeks which is ridiculous. read more

I've had this doctor and office for several years, I don't normally see the doctor I see the nurse practitioner, Pascal, she's great. I've never had one issue here, the staff is great. I've never waited long, zero issues here!!!! read more

I have read the reviews and completely agree about the disorganization of this office! I had a pre-op visit and one hour before my appointment, they called me and cancelled because Dr Almassi had to do surgery! This is the second appointment that has been cancelled! I am so upset and looking for another office that's professional and take care of their patients! NOT THIS OFFICE FOR SURE! And JM is always calling to ask about service review? What a joke! However, I finally made the appointment after 3 cancelations! Dr. Almassi is nice but I think she understand how frustrating it is to plan on coming to an appointment same day and having it canceled two hrs before! read more

Dr almassi has been my OB for 10 plus years she has delivered both my children, she is a thorough and caring Dr. Due to the unpredictable nature of pregnancy and childbirth appointments get rescheduled and wait times can be long. But when its your turn she'll be there. read more

This doctor is kind and compassionate. She did all my prenatal care and post natal care as well as a labiaplasty (repairing birth trauma). Initially I was afraid to change doctors but I am so glad I changed because now I am very happy with Dr. Almassi!! read more

I will keep this short, instead of going into detail and getting myself worked up on the HORRIBLE experience I had with Dr Almassi and her staff. In short, about four years ago, when I was 23, Dr Almassi's NP told me I had low grade cervical cancer and made me believe that I had it for nearly nine months. When the truth finally prevailed that I didn't have it AND NEVER DID, and I explained the whole ordeal to Dr Almassi - which included a very traumatic visit to get biopsies - she could barely bat an eye. She was very dismissive and unapologetic about the emotional distress I had been through. I was in further shock that she didn't even seem to care. Honestly ladies, if you care about yourself, choose another Dr. What I took away from this whole thing was to always always always get multiple opinions. Had I done that, it would have saved myself a lot of emotional pain for myself and my family. read more

I hate leaving bad reviews! I was really hoping to like this clinician but it was impossible to. She consistently cancels her appointments, doesn't follow up with labs or orders, and has zero remorse. I literally waited for her for two hours. Please do yourself a favor and find another ObGyn. read more

I have been with this office/ Dr for many years I give the dr 5 stars she is amazing. Her staff is super friendly but not well organized for somethings. While my prior post still stands true I would not give up this Dr due to her lackluster staff and lack of call backs / follow ups. read more

It is truly with a sad heart that I do this review. I've had to end this 10 year relationship. Moving on is hard to do sometimes but when it's over it's over. It was rocky from the start but I was in need. I was referred by my primary care doctor back in 2008 due to some abnormal test results. I liked Dr. Almassi as soon as I met her. I never felt rushed. After more tests were run I needed to have surgery. I scheduled the surgery and on the morning of as I waited to leave to the hospital I received a phone call from the office advising me of the abnormal results and the need to schedule surgery. "Umm yeah, I am leaving to the hospital shortly to have that surgery." At that moment I knew I would really need to stay on top of my health care and double check results. Surgery went fine. The pathology results were not ideal but way better than they could have been. I saw Dr. Almassi a lot after that for follow up care. Then I got pregnant the following year and knew I wanted her on my team of doctors to follow my high risk pregnancy. Dr. Almassi took excellent care of me during my pregnancy. Once I delivered I started only needed to see Dr. Almassi yearly and that's where the horror began. Just about every time I made an appointment for my annual exam I was called the day of and told Dr. Almassi was in surgery and I'd have to reschedule. At one visit I waited for 90 minutes in the waiting room before having to leave to pick my son up from school. I figured once a year, I can deal with it. Fast forward to this year... I had some tests done at the hospital and was told I may need to have surgery. I had the follow up/determining tests done on 4/17. It is June 7th and I am still waiting on results/plan from Almassi's office. I have called several times and popped into the office. Every time she has left early for a delivery/surgery. I talked on several occasions to Evonne at the front desk and she has been very nice even though she knew I was beyond upset. She was able to get the Dr to tell her to relay to me that the results were the same.. OK, so what's the plan!? Evonne called me back the following week and said that on that Wednesday Dr. Almassi would be working at the hospital and would look at the films and would call me with the plan.. Yep, still waiting for that call!! I feel since I'm not crowning my care gets pushed to the back burner for the women of child bearing age. I had to take matters into my own hands, had my records sent to another gynecologist and made an appointment there. My new doc was able to complete the test I needed in office and we made a plan before I left. I've never seen an office so horribly disorganized as Dr. Almassi's and it's affecting the quality of care being given to women. I can't believe I tolerated barely adequate care for as long as I did. read more

While I was waiting for the Doctor she made me wait 1 hr 15 min not respecting my time when I was in there I was able to read at least 11 of their clients records because they had them laid all in the hallway exposed to the public. And besides that her assistant ...................CORINNE................... took my blood pressure most of the time you press 3 to 4 times in stead she pressed 7 to 10 times I really thought she was having the intention to break my arm, she was talking to the patients and me like a general when the Doctor was not in front of her. I did not feel comfortable being in a gynecology office with an assistant that likes her same gender. My first and last visit read more

Hello All, I typically dont write reviews but the lady who picked up the phone completely ruined it all, I didnt even get a chance to meet the Dr. Ill go directly to the point. I have blue shield as of 2019. Im considered a new patient. I was looking for a obgyn and decided to try this office. So I called to make an appointment, simple right! First, the receptionist puts me on hold 4 times without first having the professionalism to say can you please hold, she just would leave me hanging. I have Trio, I have Hill Physicians medical group and john muir, because my card doesnt say john muir, she said I needed a referral from my primary doctor before I can make an appointment with them.. lol. So I called blue shield and she was so dam wrong even blue shield laughed and said it all depends who you get, so right. My benefits allow me NOT require a referral but she wouldnt have known that because she said "I dont know what to tell you". So in all fairness never got to meet the DR or physician she recommended, and never will. I own my business, if anybody ever answered the phone with that aggressiveness and attitude, they would be fire. You never know who is on the other side of the phone, and if your going to work for a doctor, have some respect and ethic to your work, be nice, helpful and know your facts before making conclusions, get it together lady. read more

The people here are not rude, but they are not very helpful, and the past two times that I have come, I have had to wait over an hour past my appointment time. read more

I've had Dr. Almassi as my ob/gyn for 8 years. She's a great Dr. She delivered my 2 kids at John Muir Hospital. I've never had problems with her or her staff. They are very friendly. All women staff which I appreciate. I feel comfortable there. I had many questions and she was able to answer all of them. I love Dr. Almassi. I've had people I've come across and they also had Dr. Almassi as their ob/gyn and they too love her :) read more

My first appt to see De. Almassi, wait time was horrific over 2 hrs. waiting room packed! standing room only. No one even said there were delays, had to go to the desk 3 times since I was having to go back to work. No appologies or anything read more

I spoke to soon in my previous review. Although every thing is true, I have not been able to get the results of an ultrasound to find out if I have cancer! I've called three times in 10 days with no call back. read more

My previous GYN retired. Dr. Almassi was her partner. Went for the 1st time this year. Tests were ordered. I received some serious abnormal results via the My John Muir Health website, not because of a call from Dr. Almassi's office. I have called 3x's to try and discuss the abnormal results with Dr. Almassi. It has been 2 months with no follow up from Dr. Almassi. I have had to work through the issues with my primary MD. I would like to have given -5 stars if possible. read more

This is the worst ob I have ever been to. I had to transfer and get a new one it was so bad. Every time I had an appointment they were 1-2 hours behind, it was ridiculous. The ladies at the front desk are not welcoming at all and this place overall has horrible customer service. I am so happy I do not go here anymore. I am trying to just pay my bill and they even have a separate number for billing to make things more difficult and the lady never even answers. I had tried paying last month and they didn't even inform me to tell me my payment didn't go through. I just want to be done with this place. I would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

I would give 0 stars but would not let me write a review. I went to this OBGYN for years after my other OBGYN retired. Last year I got Breast Cancer after years on birth control. I called her in July 2015 to ask her why she kept me on birth control for so long, as of this post still wiring for call back. DO NOT come to this doctor she does not care about parents in less they are brining her in $$$$$ read more

I was misdiagnosed. She gave me some unnecessary medications. She forgot to mark the test that I was suppose to do so I gave blood and I had to give blood again! Unorganized office. read more

Dr. Almassi has been my OBGYN for 4 years. During this time I have needed special follow ups as I had abnormal test results when I first started my care with her. She has been amazing, as is her NP Pascal. Dr. Almassi also followed me through my high risk pregnancy and performed my unscheduled C/Sec. I realize that some of the reviews reflect frustration with having to reschedule due to Dr. Almassi being in surgery. I have to say I am so thankful for her being there for me when it was time for my little girl to come. I would gladly reschedule to have this doctor by my side. Until you have been there, you don't really know. She assured me the entire time I was in her care that she would be there at my c/ section (many doctors do not follow their patients all the way through delivery but she does). Being a first time mom and having a high risk pregnancy was a lot to handle but she continued to keep me calm and talk me through everything. She never rushed me and was happy to answer any questions I had, even if it was the fifth time I was asking with my pregnancy brain. I REALLY appreciate Dr. Almassi and all of her staff :) read more

I didn't get to meet this doctor but the staff in her office were very rude. I scheduled an appointment to go for a regular check up. When I arrived they told me they had to cancel my appointment because something came up. I had no missed calls and no voicemail from them. The lady at the front desk was very rude. Told me they could reschedule me for a few weeks later, after I had already scheduled personal time off work for this visit. I told them no thank you. read more

I have seen Dr. Almassi for one year and at first I was happy with her. However after going thru multiple tests for my infertility I met with a specialist in Sacramento at Kaiser. (They accept non-Kaiser members for fertility treatment.) During what was supposed to be a routine saline sonogram prior to starting my 1st IVF cycle the IVF specialist located a mass distorting my uterine cavity, along with an enlarged uterus. My specialist recommended an MRI to accurately diagnose the mass, to determine if it is cancer, a fibroid or adenomyoma. Keep in mind I am only 26 years old and I had a saline sonogram in June that was completely normal and an HSG test in December that was also normal. So all of a sudden I have a mass on my uterus wall. Dr. Almassi's office called me today to say they just want me to get another ultrasound done, and have not ordered the MRI even though that was what was recommended by my specialist. I have provided them with a written report of the previous ultrasound in June and now the current one that shows the new discovery of a mass. I DO NOT think it os ok to have the MRI denied and I do not want to risk my health and prognosis because Dr. Almassi does not want to order or authorize the MRI. I do not want this mass in me any longer then in needs to be or to grow larger causing further damage and hurting my chances of success at conceiving a child. I want to continue to see Dr. Almassi and I would like to continue to be a patient since I appreciate her calm and mild nature which I think would be great to have during pregnancy and delivery. But first this request for an MRI needs to be fufilled. This is not money coming out of their pocket, I have insurance and I am willing to pay my patient portion of course I just need a simple order for an MRI!!!!!! read more

I've been visiting this office regularly during the entirety of my first trimester. Not ONCE have I met with Dr. Almassi. Finally, I was able to schedule an appointment with her and the wait time was HORRIBLE! I really wished Dr. Banskter would come back!!! Do not waste your time here. Find someone else to help with your pregnancy! read more
