I was able to get an echocardiogram to check in my heart health after discovering both of my parents had heart issues. I felt confident about my options and what I need to do in the future to take care of my heart health. The office is in a maze of buildings that are alphabetized. To get to the O section, parking on the street on Waring Court in the middle, entering on the path and going to the right corner is the quickest and easiest way to get there. Star off for the billing service happening outside of their offices; I had to call someone different to track down an invoice to turn into my FSA. She said she'd call me back after looking into it and never did.

From my very first visit, I have felt genuinely cared for and supported by Dr. Samani and her team. Managing a complex condition requires ongoing assessment, diagnostic testing, monitoring, and sometimes thoughtful trial and error to find the right balance and improve quality of life. Dr. Samani has been proactive, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout this process. When I provide the office with blood pressure readings and symptom updates, they respond promptly with professional recommendations and guidance. I am incredibly grateful to have found this practice and to have Dr. Samani as part of my care team. Her expertise, compassion, and commitment to patient care have made a significant difference in my medical journey. I would confidently recommend Dr. Samani to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, competent, and reputable cardiologist. The office staff are also exceptional and contribute greatly to the positive experience. They are professional, responsive, kind, and truly an asset to the practice.

This is my first time meeting this doctor. I don't think he was Dr. Chavira. I had been looking…read moreforward to this visit, to help with the edema in my legs. He came in, shook my hand & started talking 100 miles an hour. I understood maybe 1/4 of what he said. The nurse/person on the computer was asking me questions & he was dictating, & she was typing really fast. He was standing the entire visit. She said to him that I was having trouble breathing, he said "the reason she's here is because of the swelling of her ankles". Says he "can already see the problem, she's obese". I told him that my daughter is a doctor & had written notes & a video for him. He said, "I don't need the video, you're here now. I'll just look at your ankles". I played it for him anyway. He kept rattling off words to his nurse, "there's nothing wrong with you, but I just want to order some tests." He continued listing tests. "How tall are you?" "5'5" I think". "You're fat. You're just too fat. You just need to lose weight. Why don't you lose weight." I try to speak - "I've tried. Since lithium & levothyroxine I've gained about 30 pounds". "Haha! That's nonsense. Thyroid medication for *hyper*thyroidism - you lose weight, not gain. (I'm *hypo*thyroid)You are LAZY!!! (Doing everything I could not to cry, I said, "I'm not lazy"). "And you are probably drinking too much soda." (Points to my water bottle) And, I know they say 8-10 glasses of water - but that's nonsense! You're drinking too much, which is why your ankles are swollen. (I don't drink soda. Only water, + two coffee, two tea daily). "I'm going to order some tests & bloodwork. They will do them now & then I'll wash my hands & come back". Then he runs down the list of tests. "Treadmill?" I say. "Yes, is there a problem?" I told him "the past few times", he finished my sentence, "you take that pill?" "Yes"- I said. "No! Can't you walk for 30 minutes? See, you're lazy! You're obese because you eat too much & don't exercise enough. It's not complicated. Why don't you lose weight? Another option is gastric bypass." The nurse/person told me to wait out in the waiting room & they will call me, when they're ready for me to take the tests. I said "ThankYou" & I just kept walking to the elevator & to my car. I sat in my car & cancelled my appointments for the rest of the day. Every single one of the nurses was "obese". Doesn't make sense. He's supposed to be a specialist in edema? Hard part is, I can't shake off feeling like dog poop. That will be with me for awhile.And, I really am concerned about my legs. But, I'm not going back there. Every doctor says something different : Dr. Marfori - "Would you rather be thin & unhappy"? (Side effects of Lithium & Zoloft). Nutritionist : "6 small meals a day to prevent low blood sugar".

When I came in for my first office visit, I was 15 minutes early, signed in, sat down and kept my mouth shut while an irate patient berated the clueless girl behind the desk, a flood of patients came in after me, they were all checked in and seen before me. Finally I asked the girl what the problem was, she went back and got someone who told me they don't appreciate it when patients show up late for their appointments and then demand to be seen. I had 4 more office visits, all of which I was 10-15 minutes early for, each time they came to get me exactly 19 minutes late, as if they knew I would walk out at 20 minutes. my last visit, you had a child shave my chest with what I can only assume was a piece of broken glass because the result was horrific and left me scarred. Now you guys are calling my emergency contact to check me in for my Telehealth. wtf? UPDATE: I was writing this review when you were already 30 minutes late for my Telehealth, I had to call in to ask what was going on but was placed on hold for an additional 30 minutes only to be told my Telehealth wasn't happening and then I was made to feel like I was the bad guy and me being upset about this was unreasonable. you people have wasted my time for the last time
