I'm keeping my original review for continuity. This update is to show, using my own documentation,…read morehow biased and prejudicial language in medical notes can permanently distort a patient's credibility and access to care. I count myself lucky I met my new GI doctor, although treatment is complicated now because of my worsening injuries. Over the past four years I've had time to study what happened, review my records, and talk with professionals who helped me understand how the bias in my care took shape. The pain I was in left me cognitively impaired for a long time, which made it hard to see how dismissive the treatment really was while it was happening. Because of the wording used in my chart -- phrases like "patient is convinced" and "very likely psychosomatic" -- it's very likely the kind of language that led other doctors to dismiss my concerns and assume the problem was psychological. My injuries worsened, the connective tissue in my abdomen continued to tear, and I lost muscle support through my torso. A genetic condition was also upregulated and my skin permanently traumatized. That language still follows me through my medical record and continues to influence how I'm treated. Nearly four years later, I'm still trying to recover from my injury and the physical and psychological damage caused by dismissive, biased documentation and the prejudice that began in this office. I'm including Dr. Nowain's original notes, and other records that corroborate both the intense pain I was really in, the celiac artery compression and soft tissue damage, and the continual gaslighting using prejudicial language to dismiss my accounts and leave me in pain and suffering. These are all before the injury worsened. I can still hear Dr. Nowain's voice from that day in his office -- angry, certain: "You're having a panic attack!" When I said I wasn't, he replied, "That sounds just like something someone having a panic attack would say." It still plays in my head like I heard it yesterday. So, I guess there's only one thing left to say. Best of luck in all your health journeys, and remember: "One foot in front of the other, bravely forward. Always."

We decided not to do it but if my dad have any pain will come back. I really like the Dr Tim, he was nice, and took his time to explained everything I asked him, so I recommend him.

First and foremost, the front desk staff at this office is unbelievably unprofessional, rude, and…read morecompletely lacking basic customer service skills. The attitude I received was unnecessary, disrespectful, and honestly unacceptable for a medical office. I originally scheduled a doctor's appointment for myself, but had to reschedule because my child was hospitalized. It was an actual medical emergency. Despite dealing with a stressful situation involving my child, I still had the courtesy and responsibility to call ahead instead of simply not showing up. I then rescheduled my appointment for June 9th. On the 2nd, I found out I had no one available to watch my child, so again, I responsibly called a full week in advance to reschedule. Not one day before. Not the day of. Not after missing the appointment. A full week ahead of time. Your front desk then tried telling me that I could not reschedule after the "third time," which makes absolutely no sense considering I had only called twice before: 1. Once because my child was hospitalized. 2. Once a week in advance because I had no childcare available. At no point was this a no-show or a last-minute cancellation, so the way I was spoken to was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. Given that this is a medical office, I would expect the staff to have at least some level of understanding and compassion when it comes to actual medical emergencies, especially involving a hospitalized child. Instead, I was met with attitude and disrespect for situations that were completely outside of my control. If the front desk cannot handle patients with basic professionalism, empathy, and respect, then they should not be working in patient care at all. And also Dr Armine closed my case and she didn't care about my healt and situation

This review is for the office and staff of Dr. Soltani. IMHO a doctor could be great but if his…read morestaff won't alert him to an issue, won't relay messages and leaves a patient unable to communicate with them...it won't really matter. I'm having a really hard time processing some of these reviews. Dr. Soltani is a nice man but does not have a "warm fuzzy" bedside manner. This is not necessarily a bad thing, just don't expect that. He is well trained and has impressive credentials. Here is the reason for this 1-star review. If I could give minus stars, I would do that. The staff is unreliable, unresponsive and unprofessional. His scheduler is located outside the United States, which is not a bad thing in itself, but good luck understanding her. We've had a surgical procedure rescheduled, and canceled more than once . Medication was withheld, GI prep was completed, preop appointments that had to be rescheduled/redone...all because the scheduler canceled but neglected to notify the actual patient. This is clearly a negligible practice and I fully intend to see what options are available to us. I try very hard not to leave negative reviews but feel this is a public service issue. I'm disheartened, and feel very upset that the office staff are so uncooperative and unconcerned.

Appt was at 2pm (asked to get there an hour early) so I got there at 1:30. While otw, I got a call saying it'll be pushed back an hour...later 2 hrs. In the end, my appt didnt happen until 4pm. Anyway, other than that...my prep tucked butt...but luckily that was the only thing I was worried about. Once I got into the room, the nurse directed me into the changing room. Once changed, I went to the bed and waited for another staff to check in with me to confirm my name, DOB, and health concerns. Afterwards, I got the IV inserted to my arm/hand. Waited until the doctor arrives to greet me. Finally, after a long while, the anesthesiologist arrived to let me know that I'm in good hands. Right after greeting the anesthesiologist, I went into the room for my procedure...next thing I know...I wad done! Doctor shared his findings and got my souvenir photos of the finding(s). Procedure was literally 30 minutes! Then the recovery was about 15ish (for me).

Between my wife and I, we have come here for procedures over the years on referrals from our primary doctors. Today, my wife needed two procedures again by a specialist who uses this facility. Sure, she had to do the unpleasant preparation which is crucial to a good result of the procedures but it is really not that bad considering the alternative of not knowing your true medical condition. Again as in the past, today was no different. The reception staff were cordial and helpful, the nurses were kind and attentive and their efficiency in processing so many patients was great. Given what everyone in the waiting room was there for; it was a calm atmosphere. We are fortunate to have a facility like this nearby and, if the need arises, I won't hesitate to come here for my health care and wellbeing.
