My friend has been telling me how great this practice is for years. Today, I finally understood why. The staff is super friendly, accommodating and ready to help! Dr Zandi has the best bed side manner of any doctor I've been to. He's super gentle and explains everything patiently and clearly. I am super grateful of finding such a great practice that understands people's needs and strives to fill them. Thank you, Dr Zandi and wonderful staff!!! read more

I've been a lifetime member of Kaiser, and have always struggled with my weight and diabetes. I was always prescribed medication to treat the symptoms, but never got better. My insurance had changed, and I discovered Dr. Zandi through my "in-network"app. Since then I've had an incredibly positive experience with Dr. Zandi. He has helped me gain much better control over my diabetes and successfully helped me to lose weight in a healthy, sustainable way. (Down 100 lbs and still going) He has truly changed my life for the better. His approach is compassionate, thorough, and tailored to my needs. I don't know another doctor who is willing to share his personal phone number and is able to be reached at all hours of the day, 7 days a week. He takes the time to explain things clearly and always listens to my concerns. Thanks to his guidance and support, I feel healthier, more energetic, and more confident about managing my health. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring doctor. read more

I have been going to Dr. Zandi for a few years now to aid me with my Diabetes and weight loss journey.

I began seeing Dr Zandi as my general practitioner several ago, and for a long time was quite pleased. Then, I started noticing a decline in care. He seemed dismissive when I was able to see him. Many times I was unable to see him, and was referred instead to the very good Nurse Practitioner associated with his office. Then last year, I was diagnosed with a breast cancer. I needed to see him at his new practice in Castro Valley to get some blood work done and make some referrals. Over the course of a very difficult year where along with my diagnosis, I'd spent much time out of town caring for my dying mother, I'd stopped exercising consistently, hadn't been eating well, and had gained weight. I felt that once my cancer was treated, I'd get back on track. After explaining all of this to him, it was as if he hadn't heard me. No condolences for my loss, no "I'm sorry to hear that" about my cancer. Instead he told me I needed to go on Ozempic. I was surprised, since I was less than 20 pounds over a healthy weight. He really put pressure on me, wanting to start treatments immediately, even though I explained that I was about to have surgery and start radiation treatments. I didn't think it was a good time to start a new drug--especially one that there's not a lot of data on yet. He pushed back that I could be on this even with surgery. I told him no. Fast forward--I relayed this conversation to my breast surgeon. She was shocked. You absolutely cannot be taking this drug when going to surgery. I've had surgery, have gone through radiation, and cancer is gone. I'm seeing a new primary care physician, and have begun losing weight on my own. Now I've done a bit of digging. Dr. Zandi now owns a weight loss clinic. This explains his desire to put me on Ozempic rather than trying to lose the weight on my own. I would ask a lot of questions and pay attention to red flags. He's not looking out for your health. He's looking out for his economic gain. read more

Admitted to hospital and upon discharge I was told to f/u with my PCP for prescription management and f/u testing. Left 2 messages. Never heard back!! Had to get a new doctor with no notice so I could get immediate care. What a chore. Unforgivable. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Zandi for well over 15 years. He's been a great health coach and advisor for me. In my direct experience he always goes above and beyond to listen and follow up on the various medical issues over the years. I also really appreciate the referrals he's provided when I needed specialist care. His strong recommendation for Dr Ran Kim when I needed Colon Surgery was especially life saving. I've been extremely thankful to have a physician of Dr. Zandi's caliber in my corner. I can't recommend him enough! read more

Since Dr. Zandi has left Family Medical Group his level of service has dropped to very unsatisfactory. He has opened a weight management company and had deprioritized his medical practice. His nurse Anabelle has been attempting to manage his practice and has been very responsive. We have experienced multiple delays in prescription approval that has affected my husband's health. He called in a prescription last Thursday and CVS has sent two reminders to the doctor's office with no response as of today, Monday. I called the office and the voice mail box is full and I believe Anabelle is on leave of absence. He is not longer associated with the Family Medical Group so the office is unable to assist us at this time. We will be changing doctors to ensure we receive professional assistance. In the meantime, my poor husband has not been able to sleep since is medication has not been renewed. I cannot stress my disappointment in the way Dr. Zandi has been taking care of his patients and plan to file a complaint with the association that oversees the quality of professional physicians. Shame on you Dr. Zandi, you can only be rated if you are responsive to your patients. If you are looking for a physician do not choose Dr. Zandi. Dr. Michael Graney Mulholland read more

Dr. Zandi is the most compassionate Dr. I've ever experienced. I don't mind the drive since he's not the stereotype bad "bedside manner"..just the opposite! His staff is wonderful too. read more

My mom has been seeing this doctor for awhile. Now I've been taking my mom. She likes this doctor's medical assistant because she's Filipino. The doctor tells me my mom's bs is good yet he changes and prescribes more diabetic medication. I inquire why if her A-1 C is good. Anyhow, he prescribed her a new medication more than she needed (more than i take) and said he was trying to save her money by order a large dosage and that she will have to cut the pill in half! My mom is 92! Instead of just prescribing her the correct dosage he believes that he is saving her money by having her cut the pill in half. There are no instructions on the pill bottle stating the pill needs to be cut in half. My mother was taking the entire pill and she was feeling very sick. So we cut all her pills in half and instructed her to take only half a pill. Not very impressed with the care she's receiving. After she was discharged from the hospital, the discharge note states that she is supposed to see her doctor within a week and to have some blood work done. I call his office and ask them to submit the bloodwork to the lab so I can take my mom. They say that the hospital would have submitted orders to have a HH nurse to do the blood draw so she doesn't have to go in the lab. Great!!' I informed medical assistant to dr. Zendi that there are no orders that I can see for an RN and that only PT will be scheduled. The Care Grp called to set up an appointment for the PT only and I inquired about the nurse. They said there are no orders, but that my mom's doctors office can submit orders for a home health nurse to come and draw the blood. When I asked the office to submit the order for the home health nurse apparently it's too much paperwork but they will try. Seriously?! I also asked to set up a follow up appointment with this doctor according to the discharge notes. No call back to set up an appointment. Very disappointed with this doctors office. My mom saw the PT and he was concern that my mom doesn't have a follow appt with this Dr and the lab orders/HH nurse has not been submitted. He said he'll talk to the dr's office about all this and he will place the order for the HH nurse. Honestly, if it was my choice, I'd take her somewhere else for her care. read more

Dr. Zandi was recommended to me by few friends after I had given up on finding an answer to my medical problems. His staff, his nurse and him were friendly from the start. Best care I have received in years. Dr. Zandi was knowledgeable, caring and personable. He was able to help me more in 30 minutes than the care I have received in the past 2 yrs. After my appointment, he followed up to make sure I was feeling better and had made an appointments with specialist. I am so happy I have finally found a caring, knowledgeable doctor with great bed side manners. Thank you dr. Zandi! read more

I have been with Dr Zandi for over 7 years now and I refuse to change my medical coverage because of him. He goes out of his way to make sure that you (the patient) get everything you need before you leave. When he looks at you he's listening to you. You can always tell when a doctor is trying to rush through his appointments but this doctor truly cares about his patients. He is always encouraging diet changing , herbal remedies, new lifestyle changes and is there for the long haul. I have gone to him throughout my entire ankylosing spondylitis diagnosis and multiple neck and back surgeries and this man has no limits. He is absolutely the most selfless doctor I've met. If anybody needs any personal reviews or has any questions for me you can reach me at savedbird70@gmail.com. read more

This "doctor" tried contacting me after seeing my first review trying to explain away why he never followed up in over 3 weeks lol. People die in the hands of doctors when these so-called doctors make the wrong decision, and for this doctor to mess up a simple blood work test request, I wouldn't trust you with a paper cut. read more

Dr Zandi. Is a physician who is more interested in being proactive than reactive. I am 62 and have some health issues. He has listened to what I am saying over the years. He prefers to stop the problems before they happen or halt the progression of those you already have. He is willing to step outside the box. I will miss him and his wisdom. read more

Dr Zandi is a incredible doctor and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a good family doctor. He is easy to talk, supper supportive, and very knowledgeable in a lot of different areas of medicine. He takes his time with patients remembers little things about each person, and makes you feel like a friend instead of assembly line medicine. His office squeezes you in if something comes up, my wait time has always been reasonable, and his replacement doctor Dr. Harley is just as fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about him. read more

What an amazing doctor. I felt very taken care of. I came to him after coming down with a fairly nasty case of influenza that landed me in the ER on Monday night. He squeezed in for an appointment on Tuesday even though it was my first time seeing him. He came highly recommended by a friend and I know why he is a great doctor. He is personable, understanding and takes his time with his patients. He has a very soothing bedside manner. He's not cold or rushed and a bonus is that the blood tests were done right there and I got the results before he sent me home. Dr. Zandi humanizes the medical experience in a way that is very important for healthcare. read more

Having recently seen Dr. Zandi a number of times in the last two months, I cannot thank him enough for the great job he has done taking care of me. I was scheduled to have surgery by another Doctor and it was determined that I had high blood sugar and blood pressure. After my first visit, Dr. Zandi put me on a strict diet, exercise and medication. My blood sugar level and blood pressure have decreased significantly and I have lost over 35 pounds. Dr. Zandi also referred me to a Cardiologist to ensure that my heart was in good condition prior to the surgery. Without the expert care by Dr. Zandi I would not have been able to have the successful surgery that was needed. As Dr. Zandi has expressed to me that the need for surgery may have saved my life for without making the changes he prescribed I was headed down a much more dangerous path health wise. I truly feel that Dr. Zandi is the one that potentially saved me. Dr. Zandi has taken the time during each appointment to thourghly explain my health, progress and continued care. Dr. Zandi has always been very patient and compasionate in listening to any and all of the questions that I have had and responding in the same manner. Not once throughout the process did I once ever feel rushed or not feel important. I would highly recommend Dr. Zandi to anyone in need of a Primary Care Physician. read more

Dr. Zandi is a very caring efficient and dedicated Doctor who treats you like you were the most important patient he has. He has been our Doctor for the past 10 + years and gave the best care to my Mom (who just passed away at the age of 90 this month). He treated her with the best care and dignity each and every visit. He is also my personal physician, and takes the time to listen to my questions or concerns and always treats me with kindness, caring and as though I am more than just a patient, like family. He always follows up when there is something that is a worry to me about myself and my mom until she passed. His staff are the very kindest, efficient and caring people I have ever met. I always recommend him and his office to my friends, family, co-workers and anyone looking for a fantastic doctor. read more

I was touring a property in San Francisco, when I fell down a flight of stairs in a 2 story home. I was pretty banged up and needed immediate attention to check for broken bones. Dr. Zandi took me on a moment's notice and I didn't have to wait. Thankfully, the x-rays were negative, but I looked like the Giants took a few turns w/ their baseball bats. Dr. Zandi was very accommodating, attentive to detail, and caring. He listened to my concerns, and was thoughtful in his diagnosis, even though I didn't have any broken bones. I would highly recommend him to anyone searching for a great doctor. read more

Dr. Zandi is one of the kindest, most respectful doctors I have ever met and have had the privilege of being treated by. I have been his patient for about 12 years now, and I truly believe his bedside manner and his level of patience is parallel to none. He has always made me feel extremely comfortable--I have seen him for everything--for physical, mental and emotional problems--and he has never made me feel crazy or ignored. He sees you as a full person, not just someone to fix, and is genuine in his efforts; he is warm, gentle and caring. His attention to detail, his ability to put 2 + 2 together is really remarkable. I have a rare disease, and he is the only doctor to ever think of testing me for it. Many of the specialists he sent me to over the years believed my problems were psychosomatic and/or caused by mental illness, and they also did not believe the severity of my symptoms because I was a "healthy looking" young gal with a "traumatic history" and was clearly "depressed and anxious". Yet Dr. Zandi stayed vigilant, even going through his old medical textbooks to find the diagnosis, fighting with specialists who truly believed I was mentally ill and did not believe in HIM. He was right, though, and I cannot thank him enough for how the diagnosis turned my life around. Considering all of this, I'd say he is a doctor who is truly invested in your well-being. If something is really bothering you, bring it up with him. If its a reasonable concern he will order tests or give referrals to a specialist who can help you out further. On many occasions his assistant has scheduled me for appointments when I've needed to see him in a hurry, and he has never rushed me in any of my appointments. He is the first to admit when he doesn't know something, and will either: A) take the time to look it up immediately in the office, or B) refer you to someone who will know better, and he will give you advice on how to cope with whatever is bothering you until you see a specialist. His assistant Jenny and nurse Annabelle are also a great resource, and they are quick to return phone calls and fax in prescriptions. They, too, work very hard for your care and are extremely friendly, warm, and kind. He is a real gem. He also speaks Farsi and is very respectful of different cultures. As a woman of color I feel he is very respectful of my values, beliefs, and my views on medicine and healing. If you are looking for a doctor who really looks out for you and your well being, see him. My entire family sees him, too. :) read more

I've been coming here since I first moved to the area about 8 years ago and needed to find a doctor covered by my insurance. Fortunately I only really ever had Upper Respiratory Track Infections (Sinus infections mainly) and allergy issues but I've always been pleased with Dr. Zandi's attendance and care. He's always listened to my medical concerns, ordered test/bloodwork or given referrals as requested to rule out any of my reasonable requests. I've always been pleased with the care I have received and would continue to come back and refer others to him as well. His assitant Jenny is very good at playing phone tag and has always been helpful when I've needed that last minute appointment. (I usually feel bad because I'm almost never available when she calls so we've had some good games) read more
