Dr. Esfandiari is a very knowledgeable and skilled physician, and I truly appreciate his care. Unfortunately, the experience with his staff is extremely disappointing. From the office manager (his wife) to the assistants( Rosemary) , the level of professionalism is very poor. They often speak disrespectfully in front of patients, schedule appointments 3 months out with no guarantee they won't be canceled, and cannot provide any clear follow-up plan if that happens. When asked simple questions, they respond rudely and even raise their voices. This is especially concerning for elderly patients who need reliable and respectful care. read more

"I would give zero stars if that were an option, but unfortunately, the rating starts at one star." I had a deeply disappointing and painful experience with Dr. Esfandiarifard Esfandiar. Unfortunately, he seems to prioritize volume over quality, rushing through appointments and giving little attention to individual patient needs. Because he schedules far too many patients, it felt like I was just another number on his list--no real time or care was given to truly understand my condition. What's worse, his rushed approach led to a completely wrong diagnosis and an ineffective, even harmful, treatment plan. I trusted him with my health, only to realize later that the course of action he suggested was based on poor judgment and a lack of proper evaluation. It's extremely upsetting to feel deceived and to suffer through unnecessary stress and pain because of a preventable mistake. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone seeking thoughtful, accurate, or compassionate medical care. Patients deserve more than to be hurried out the door with half-considered diagnoses. This dr. Just have talk shot in Persian community once in a month just to deceive the audience. NOT RECOMMENDED at all read more

The dr himself is a nice person But let me tell you about office manager Nastaran which is his wife They gave appointment for my wife for 2 o'clock and then she said she doesn't know why they give her appointment time! And then instead of apology she started yelling at my wife! Good luck with their marriage life with that strong attitude read more

He is a very knowledgeable doctor. He spend enough time with his patients and pay attention to what they say. God bless him.

Dr. Esfandiarifard is amazing! He truly cares about every single one of his patients and he personally follows up with any of their concerns. He spends adequate time explaining everything that you need to know about your illness and medications. All of the office personnel and the office manager Nastaran treat you with the absolute most amount of care and you feel supported by them. They care about your health. I am truly happy and blessed to have him as my physician. There's so much more that I want to share, but there isn't enough space on yelp. I completely trust his advice and recommendations. So if you need a doctor, don't look any further and visit Dr. Esfandiarifard and I will ensure you that you have made the right decision. read more

Dr Esfandiari is a very good doctor; however the long wait in a waiting room (3hours every time) and impolite, arrogant, rude office manager and careless staff makes the experience like hell. Dr. is good at what he does but apparently they only care about money so if you need your doctor at the emergency you won't be able to even get the message to him. Just had an emergency about my mom (unfortunately my parents are both his Pts) the office manger said exactly this words, when I have asked her why they did not deliver the message to doctor and why they didn't fulfill their promises? her respond was "we are so busy and have so many pts you are not happy go somewhere else!" And she hung up! In conclusion, there are great doctors in this town if you didn't start with this office RUN AWAY from them they are not worthed and life is too short to waste dealing with them and waiting in their waiting room. read more

Truly one of the best Doctors I've ever had. Dr. Esfandiarifard is a doctor who cares for all of his patients. No matter what he takes his time to thoroughly exam and listens to all the concerns or symptoms a patient may have. Ive been to a few doctors for a condition i had and no one spent as much time nor concern to figure out the true diagnosis as he did. He will do anything in his power to help all of his patients and care for them!! I highly recommend all my friend sand family to visit him for any health concerns. read more

I had my first appointment with Doctor today. Nastaran, the office manager, was extremely helpful and professional from my first call to the office! She is very kind and knows so much about insurance. The staff was all professional, polite, and respectful. The office is impeccably clean and organized. Dr. Esfandiar is very knowledgeable! He is very easy to talk to, and had my interest in mind. I am delighted to have found this office! They are fantastic! read more

Hands down the best doctor I've ever visited. He's the one of the most qualified , detailed oriented and caring professional I've ever come across, overall a stellar human being, I referred my uncle to him and he had the same thing to say. His office manager Nastaran is super personable and goes beyond the call of duty to help me out. The fact that this is a family run business gives the office a homely feel. read more

outstanding bed manners, vast knowledge and empathic doctor who spends as much time as needed to throughly explain complicated medical terminologies. both my wife and I have switched from very famous, but business / corporate like medical center to this intimat, but caring doctor and his equally caring staff. read more

The worse doctor that you could ever go to! No care about patient, what they care about is $ money. He runs a business with no work ethic! The front desk, his wife is nothing but a blind money lover, rude, selfish and arrogant. I have filed a complaint with CA medical board for this doctor as he wanted to charge us upfront without rendering the service. I have PPO insurance but they still ask for money ($200) first before I even see the doctor. Never go to this doctor, go to the one who keeps his oath and who is true to his profession and to his patients. read more

Kept misdiagnosing the symptoms of cancer as arthritis & air pollution. More interested in being in charge of referring other doctors and home care providers than accurate diagnosis of symptoms.2-4 hour wait is the norm while visiting. Office and exam room is very dirty and unorganized. In short Dr. not on top of his game. read more

Dr. Esfandiarifard is a gifted physician and a true human being. He is very thorough and spends ample time with his patients and listens to every concern. His ability to diagnose and refer patients to specialists based on their need is extremely precise. Our family trusts his professional opinion. He truly cares for his patients. He is an outstanding physician and highly regarded in the community. His staff is very professional and courteous too. I highly recommend Dr. Esfandiarifard to all my friends and family. read more

He is the best Doctor on earth and his staffs are the best people . They respect the patients and they actually care for you than any other family dr in the valley . :) thank you dr esfandiyari and your awesome staff and office manager . You guys rock read more

It pains me to write a bad review for anyone, but in this instance I feel I have to, because my mom would have been dead due to Dr. Esfandiari's neglegance. My mom was a patient of Dr. Esfandiari for several years, until couple of years ago he ordered a "MRI" to be done, from my mom's brain. At the "MRI" lab, the lab technician (god bless him) after looking at the information papers that my mom (my brother filled because my mom doesn't speak English) had just filled out, informed them that "MRI" would cause a severe bleeding in her brain because she has metal clips in her head! Needless to say that the lab technician was shocked that Dr. Esfandiari had requested "MRI" done, while having access to this vital information in my mom's medical file! When my mom contacted Dr. Esfandiari's office and told them about this hideous mistake , not only she didn't receive an apology, but his office manager (nastaran) dismissed it offhandedly, and said, "Oh really? The Dr. Must have forgotten"!! My mom switched doctors immediately. read more

I have been waiting to see Dr Esfandiar Esfandiaifard after 2 month been waiting, Finally I was able to go see him and my appointment it was 3:30 pm, when I get there the lady in front desk told me I have to wait 45 min and acting very unprofessional when I told them how come you didn't tell me a head of time that I could come later! She said we don't call the anybody! I had to to go out and call to cancel my the other appointment when I came back to wait 45 min the lady in front desk said because you step out I cancel your appointment! What kind of Doctor I should call him with such a bad staff and customer service! Just sorry my self waisting my time to see him for almost 2 month! read more

Best doctor in the whole world god bless you, thank you so much for every think.

He is amazing. He spends time with patients and explain everything in detail. I went there to check up my stomach .he really knows what he is doing. Definitely recommend. read more

I'm sorry to write a bad review, but I feel I'm obligated to write about my recent experience. First I have to say that the wait has always been long and bad. No matter what time your appointment, you have to wait at least one hour! Nastaran, who is in the front office dealing with patients is very rude, impatient and not courteous. Treating you as if they are doing you a favor! The second problem and the most important is what happened recently. I was due to have a foot surgery and I needed to take antibiotics a few days before. Dr. Esphandiarifard prescribed the antibiotics and said that I had to start right away. But when I went to the pharmacy, they refused to fill the prescription before speaking to the Doctor. They called the Doctor's office, but they didn't respond. The next day the pharmacy tried to contact the doctor's office and still no response. I, myself called them and left a message, they finally responded after two days. Finally the pharmacy called and explained that the reason for their hesitation to fill the prescription was that the antibiotics that Dr. Esfandiarifard had initially prescribed was in conflict with another medication which I was already taking. They said that the combination would have been deadly!! I was horrified because Dr. Esfandiarifard had prescribed the other medicine himself, but either didn't bother to check my file, or was really unaware of the effects. Either way it was negligence in his part. I really think he doesn't deserve the one star, but I think this review wouldn't be published without it! read more

Word can not explain how nice and caring this Doctor and his wife are. My dad had an emergency situation on Saturday and thank god we found him, he spent a lot of time with my dad and other than doing all the necessary things, he went above and beyond and even called us the day after and asked about my dad and made sure he is fine. This call on a Sunday, that the office is closed, was unbelievable. You may need to wait in his office for a long time, but the reason is that he spends as much time with each patient as needed. read more

I heard good things about Dr. Esfandiarifard; therefor, my first experience was about 5 or 6 months ago when I went there for my thyroid problem. Regarding reviews, I 100% agree with some of the review writers who thought the staff are not polite. Because of my first hand experience that points to his wife rather to other employees. She talks so loud, doesn't follow the office rules, and her way of taking to office employees and patients is unbearable. Anyhow, I found the doctor be a very good doctor in his diagnosis and prescribing medications. His personality suffices to give good reputation about his professionalism who is very calm and caring. He switched one of my medications because it could have damaging my inside organs. I really appreciate that. After all these months taking his prescribed medication for my problem, I suddenly started experiencing somewhat severe headaches for days and nights.Thought calling my doctor to set an appointment. I called many times and pressed option number 5 each time for appointment, but after leaving the message the telephone hangs up automatically. I did it for three different days and until today (10/24/2018) I received no calls back from them. So I have to go to different doctor. I don't know if this is what they want. To be safe, just yesterday, I stopped my Simvastatine and felt 85% the difference. Concluding that, the doctor is a good doctor with his diagnosis and medication, but some of his staffs and telephone system are awful. I hope doctor can do something about these problems so I can continue going to him. read more

Dr. Esfandiari Esfandiarifard is the most professional and dedicated doctor I have ever been to. He has helped me in many different occasions and tells you about every thing that you need to know about your sickness. He's given me information that other doctors have not given me, he spends his time treating you and speaking to you regarding your illness which I find very useful and kind of him to do so because no doctors these days spend that time explaining everything to you. Nowadays doctors just want to see you and try to get you out of their office so they can visit the next patient. His front desk staff is impeccable, they are very nice and they always, always are kind to their patients and make sure they are treated with the upmost respect. If I was to recommend any doctor it would be Dr. Esfandiari... I had a great experience so I always go there when I am sick or need to do my check up. I recommend this place to anyone who needs to see an MD doctor. read more

The doctor performed unnecessary tests, knowing your insurance won't cover them and bills you the amount. E.g. you go with stomach pain he sends you to thyroid x- ray. Stay away from this office! read more

Dr. Esfandiari's office is the worst doctor's office any one can experience. 1: His office manager who runs his office is his wife Nastaran. She is NOT a professional at all. She is rude and cannot handle this task. She makes one patient who has an appointment to wait for 6 or 7 hours but instead she sends others with no appointment to be visited by the doctor. They almost never answer the calls. She enters the room where the doctor is examining the patient without knocking on the door and leaves the door open. I needed a form to be signed by the doctor and faxed back to the insurance and it took her more than three weeks to just fax back a form. every time I called to follow up Vardouhi (assistant) said they never received the fax. My Pharmacy needed a refill form to be approved and they never responded. 2: The doctor doesn't spend time to examine patients, he simply talks non sense about anything with some patients and that's why other patients have to wait long to see him. His wife gives appointments to patients at 9:00 a.m. and the doctor comes in every day 10:30 or 11:00 a.m. he has a whole room of patients waiting to be visited and at 12:00 he goes to lunch and start seeing patients after 2:00 p.m. with the whole morning patients still waiting to be visited and the afternoon patients arrive too. 3: They make terrible mistakes too. One time they took blood from me and the next week Nastaran called and asked me to come and give blood again and she said because the vile had potassium in it and it's the company's fault who makes the vile. She couldn't come up with any better excuse or even an apology for their mistake. The doctor stopped one of my medications with no reason and after couple of years I asked him to check my osteoporosis level. He did not want to admit that by making that mistake he put me in a risk of getting my bones fractured. 4: Two years ago I had some problems and went to him, he did nothing, I had a visit to my other specialist and he said I had a stroke and he told me Dr. Esfandiari should have prescribed a brain MRI with these symptoms that I mentioned to him but he did not. 5. I do NOT recommend this doctor. read more

My eye exam with Dr. E was the best I've ever had. Dr. E really goes the distance to make sure he's giving you the very best lens prescription, and advice on glasses given the way you use them. read more

in todays world i believe the most difficult task is to find a doctor not only a great doctor but one whom you may trust, jumping around from kaiser to kaiser cedars and all the other big brand names, not one can compare to this doctor, the difference Dr Esfandiar is that he doesn't just look at a patient as a file or a piece of paper work, yes you might have to wait for him to see you but the wait is well worth it, he takes every single patient with the most seriousness and kindness, he takes his time to observe every single aspect about you and he doesn't just simply write out a script of pills and say this should make you feel better, he actually diagnoses you, takes all the time in the world to figure out really whats going on and what will help. I have the most respect for this doctor in the world and i would never think of leaving because the kind of practices this doctor does in now days is simply unheard of and unimaginable, only in movies will you see someone like this and believe it people our lives are not movies, they are real, i would recommend this doctor to anyone, young or old, you will definitely not choose wrong with Doctor Esfandiar, over my years of jumping from clinic to clinic this has been the one and only whom has actually helped me and continues to help me. i saw a review which wasn't to great on here and might scare some people away, what the lady wrote i can see it is not a small deal, but remember that is simply one mistake made by someone whom been MD for years, go check out kaiser or cedar, i can vouch for cedar how great they are, my grandfather walked into there because of a cold, and left three days later in a casket and no i am no joking, they gave him the wrong medicine and he slipped into a coma, and what did they say? OH we have insurance!, anyways this is life and mistakes are made by everyone, no one is god, no one, but much better to put your trust into one person rather a huge company who can give two shits about what happens to you. Doctor is amazing and the staff is the nicest around, i love you guys you saved my life!!!!!!! god bless!!! read more
