Agree with other reviewers. This guy is just a money hungry jerk. He seemed to be railroading me into surgery even before all the diagnostics were done. read more

I would not recommend Dr. Gholami I visited Dr. Gholmi to get a Urolift. He showed up over an hour late and was in a rush. He tried to convince me to participate in a study procedure, instead of getting Urolift and he mentioned there is a chance that I would be placed in the placebo group. He was also very vague about the procedure. His explanation of procedure: "We put something there and open it." Then he mentioned he has seen an inflammation in the scan he has done, and if I have any history of cancer in my family, to which I replied no. Then he said well there is inflammation, and since I had recent TIA, he mentioned come back in 3 months and rushed out of the door. I practically had to run with him and ask him questions. When I got home, it hit me what he was trying to say, basically he is telling me I may have cancer while he was jumping out of the office. It seems very insensitive to bring vague cancer news to a person and leave office within a minute, leaving the patient in dark. I called back and asked if I can talk to him, the answer was no. I asked if the receptionist can ask him if he thinks I am having cancer? The answer was I have to make phone appointment with him. I made appointment and couple of days spent in extreme worry. Finally, on the phone call he said he has seen a tumor in the scan and maybe it's nothing and if I want to make sure he can perform a biopsy. BTW, he does not shares his scan images with anybody. I did the right thing and went to another Urologist. The new urologist said my PSA is normal level and there is no need to do biopsy. He performed another scan of my prostate and couldn't see the tumor that Dr Gholami reported. He explained to me that Urolift is not very effective and the gold standard is TURP. He performed TURP on me and removed portion of prostate and biopsy came out normal. read more

I wish I had read the other reviews on Yelp before making an appointment with Dr Gholami. If I had read the reviews, I would have found a different doctor. I decided to go elsewhere. Since Dr Gholami is distracted with his phone, I can't trust this person to put a scope inside my body or to operate. The general office environment is noisy and unprofessional and doesn't provide for patient privacy. 1. Distracted doctor The doctor was texting on his phone twice during the appointment and never apologized. I've never seen a doctor reading and responding to messages on a mobile phone before. This makes me think that this urologist is distracted and not paying attention. 2. No privacy and totally unprofessional The walls in this facility are really thin and I could hear the physician assistant, Philip Nguyen, discussing my case with the doctor either in the hallway or in the room next door. That means that other patients could also hear discussions about other patients. I think this goes against all laws about medical privacy. With the door open, the medical assistant was discussing the urine sample that I needed to give & the complications. Anybody walking through the hallway could hear the conversation. When I told her that this was inappropriate and that she needed to close the door, all she said was "okay" and never apologized. I did bring this up to the physician assistant and he said that that was unprofessional behavior and he would address it with the medical assistant. I don't know if he ever did. 3. Didn't prepare me for the appointment When I arrived, I was told I needed to give a urine sample. Why didn't the receptionist tell me this when I made the appointment so I would have consumed enough liquids before the appointment to generate a urine specimen? I had to ask the medical and physician assistants to keep bringing me tiny cups of water so I could go to the bathroom. 4. Loud, chaotic, sounds like a used car dealership There are four doctors that share the same building and reception area. There are two TVs on in the waiting area with the volume on. There were patients talking on their phones, including one person on speakerphone. I put on my noise canceling headphones and it was still too loud. I don't go to a medical office to watch "Good Morning America"! When I needed to check out, I couldn't even hear the receptionist because the man next to me was speaking so loud because he had to speak over the television. I brought up the noise problem to the doctor and he said that people needed something to do while waiting and I said "magazines". Plus most people have their own phones and they can put on headphones and watch something on their phone. Most medical offices have signs prohibiting telephone conversations in the reception area. The doctor agreed and he said that he would put up a sign telling people not to use their phones. This is so basic. The doctor doesn't need a patient to tell him about the noise problem in his reception area. While I was waiting for the doctor I could hear noise from the reception area, the hallway and from other rooms. It was not a peaceful and tranquil environment in which I could carefully digest the information that the doctor and the physician assistant were giving me. 4. Receptionists rarely respond to the phone The last few times I called nobody answered the phone. I waited on hold for a long time and I left a message and nobody called me back. The only way to get through to the office was to write through the El Camino My Care website. But not everybody has that app on their phone and it's much easier just to call than to have to wait until you get home and remember your login credentials to get to the website. read more

If I could, I would give him 0 star. My husband had an awful experience with Dr Gholami. He rushed through the appointment and abruptly cut it short to attend to surgery. Highly unprofessional and disrespectful. Its all about the money. They want you to book more appointments. I wish I had checked yelp review before booking! read more

A few issues: 1. The office will try to perform a few unnecessary procedures before you even see the doctor, regardless of your conditions, so they can bill you more and at a higher than usual rate. 2. On my first visit, my appointment was at 3pm, I got to see the doctor at around 3:34pm, and after only about 15 minutes, he was done. I had more questions, but he brushed them aside, saying, "we will see you on the next visit". 3. On my 2nd visit, my appointment was at 4pm. Saw the doc at 4:52pm; he was done in 4 minutes and said book another appointment in 4 weeks. I had more questions, but he just opened the door and showed me the exit. 4. I was very polite and patience throughout; I just had many questions but never got a chance to ask. The office team and the doctor doesn't care about the patient's problem. But yet, they are happy to send you an outlandish bill after each visit. Each bill was for an hour of consultation - is 4 minutes equivalent to an hour? The other comments here at Yelp about the doctor not caring are true to the core. read more

Simply the best at what he does. I have been his patient for Years. He always takes care of me above and beyond what a doctor does. I am his patient for testosterone, HCG and it works wonders. I can last all night like I was a younger version of me. He's not a doctor. He's the fountain of youth!!! See dr G asap! read more

Beware - it's all about the money. Office didn't submit a preauthorization (but told me they did) and insurance denied claim. Insurance has requested info multiple times to no avail. Instead they are billing me the full amount (in violation of insurance EOB) and threatening collections. Nice scam - say you take insurance, screw up the filing and then direct bill patient for list amount for the extra profit. read more

Whelp, it has been ten full years since Dr. Shahram S. Gholami performed a radical prostatectomy on me in October 2009. At the time I was freaking-out, scared over my cancer diagnosis!!

Dr. Gholami performed the surgery via state-of-the-arts Davinci Robotically and my PSA has been (and still is) infinitesimally low since November 2009. read more

Shahram Gholami, MD - Doctors Near Me - San Jose, California

Dr. G is awesome! Found him via online reviews and went in for a consultation for my low T levels. After a few test, reviewing my previous physical tests and a very open conversations of the pros and cons for the treatments i decided on going forward with the treatment. After 2 years i have to say it was the best solution for me and my health. I loved his approach of my situation and was not pushy for me to start it as its not a cheap treatment. Im glad I went in an for the consultation and found my Urologist! The staff is fantastic also who make it easy for appointments and deal directly with my insurance when questions came up on the treatments. Thanks Dr. G! read more

The reason why I'm posting this negative review is that Dr Gholami and his out of office manager, Ruby cause me to believe that they were pushing treatment that was not necessary. I had doubts so I seeked second opinion and my suspicions were correct. Let me say this new and existing patients beware I wouldn't walk into the Samaratin Drive Office at all. read more

I went in for a general consultation at first for a chordee repair. The doctor was chatting and messaging on his laptop, did not even make eye contact. Then casually looked at the genitals and got back to his laptop. I was told earlier by my general physician that the procedure is incredibly simple and common, so I was not as concerned. I was charged around $250 for the 5 minute consultation. The doctor said the surgery will be 30 minutes at max. As a new patient, I had filled up several pages of forms and gave all required medical insurance information. Before scheduling the surgery, I tried emailing the accounting lady (Yolanda) several times to give me an estimate for out-of-pocket for the surgery. After reminders, she finally responded with some vague numbers - saying it will be around $1000. I was OK with that, and decided to go ahead. The surgery was in the National Ambulatory Surgery Center, Los Gatos. On surgery day, I arrived at 5:30 AM, filled a few forms, gave my insurance information and am asked to pay $1000. I pay up for it and am asked to prepare and wait. I am taken into the surgery room at 7:00 AM. My wife was waiting outside. After nearly an hour, the doctor informs my wife that the surgery had to be extended to take care of some urethra exposure. I did not have to take any painkillers after I got back home. The bandage and stitches eventually came off and I had some getting used to my lack of foreskin. As a united healthcare PPO member, I get my bills. The first one is from Gholami for around $3600 and after insurance discounts (not sure how they work), my out of pocket was around $1000. This is when I got concerned, because I had already paid $1000 at the surgery center. When I call up the doctor's office to understand the charges, they are simply not all to explain and talk very rudely. They said I should call the surgery center to understand those charges. Online, I see that the surgery center has billed $64,000 dollars. I was shocked at the scale of that number. For such a non-emergency short procedure, could it be real? I call United and they tel me that surgery center is out-of-network, so they can charge whatever they want. So, why was I not told earlier (1) that there is a separate charge for the surgery center (2) the surgery center is out of network? This was my very first surgery in life, and in this country, but no one uttered a word - neither the doctor's office nor the surgery center. There is no form or document that clearly explains the charges or billing process before the surgery. United has paid around $17,000 towards the surgery and I am now owing around $2,500 as the out of network out of pocket maximum. So, here I am owing a total of nearly $4,000 for a simple non-emergency surgery, and everyone is playing the blame game between the doctor's office, the surgery center and healthcare provider. Although the surgery went well (thank god!), the lack of transparency in the billing or pre-surgery process is shocking to say the least. I will need to fight this out and make sure that patients are not exploited. If anyone else has faced a similar issue with this doctor, send me a message and let's connect. read more

This is the second time we have gone to this office. Both time were for ultrasounds. Both times the front desk was short with us and unwilling to work with our schedule. We have to make a separate appointment for the ultrasound and for the results, which is fine, but we come back for the second appointment, miss out on work, and spend five minutes with the doctor to get simple results and then get charged for it. We have other doctors that we see regularly that do not have a problem just calling us with results, especially if they are benign. We arrived on time, after being rescheduled (and told incorrect information about the prep for the u/s), and waited an hour to go back. When we went finally made it back, the tech asked us if we were there for a completely different procedure. He went out to the front and had to confirm what we were there for. We only went back this time because we had a concern and this office treated it the first time around. We will not be back. read more

Beware! Please get one or two more opinions if he tells you your prostate feels abnormal. He had me do a biopsy he said it came back positive. Surgery was scheduled. Reading some not so good reviews I decided to get another opinion first. I went to Stanford. The doctor said he would never had ordered a biopsy with my low psa number and a normal physical examination. For my comfort 1 year later I had another biopsy done at Stanford. All came back completely negative. I also went to a third urology doctor he agreed with the doctor at Stanford. It has been 3 years, my follow ups with the other doctors are normal. Dr. Gholami is a salesman. read more

If you are looking for a competent, confident, knowledgeable doctor with appropriate sense of urgency, Dr. Gholami is this doctor. If you are looking for high, soft touch doctor with outstanding connection to the patient (not communication), you may want to look for another doctor. Office people are nice, but waiting time (in the room, not in the front desk) is often long. To sum up, as of until now, I am fully satisfied with Dr. Gholami. For me competence and sense of urgency is more important than the touchy thing. read more

This Dr uses the Da Vinci robot to do surgery. I had prostate cancer, he removed it . He is great ,talented and I recomend him highly.

January 9th 2013 Dr. Gholami performed my prostate surgery using the Da Vinci robot. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I am cancer free and feel great. The recovery was quick. I am 72 and still work every day. I took 2 weeks off, mostly because of the catheter, and then went back to work. The first week back I was a little tired in the late afternoon but since then I feel great. All of my systems are working. I highly recommend Dr. Gholami and his surgical skills. read more

Had my Vasectomy surgery on Dec 16 , 2014 by Dr Gholami and was pleased with the results. I liked Dr Shahram Gholami, doesnt really talk much but gives necessary information, well I asked all my doubts and he clarified them ! The whole surgery was completed in less than one and half hour of duration including the wait times. After the surgery, I had some pain that day and continued till a week but good thing was that it was decreasing everyday. I took rest for two days and didnt go for work as my surgery was on a weekday. The pain didnt go away even after a week, but was very mild. When I called the office, they suggested to wait for few more days as it was mild, and it actually was gone after three more days. I didnt have to take any kind of pain killers although they suggested in presence of pain. Iam giving five stars to Dr Shahram Gholami , as Iam completely fine and there were no after effects. read more

Two years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer (Gleason 7). I interviewed several surgeons and radiation specialists and came to the conclusion that given my situation surgery was the best option. When I interviewed Dr Gholami, I have to admit that at first I thought he was pretty arrogant, but during the course of the interview it became clear to me that it was confidence, not arrogance that I was seeing. I had had previous extensive abdominal surgery for a large malignant tumor, and Dr Gholami explained how the scarring from that previous surgery could affect the prostatectomy and how these potential problems would be dealt with. His explanations were clear and concise. I decided to go with Dr Gholami and have never regretted my decision. Post surgery I had the expected incontinence and ED problems. Thanks to Dr Gholami's follow up care both of these problems are completely resolved. I have been going to Dr Gholami for regular follow ups since the surgery and both he and his staff (including the lab staff when I go in for blood work) have been great to work with. I would, without hesitation, recommend Dr Gholami to anyone going through what I had to go through. read more

Been to Dr. Gholami's office 3 times. First appointment - 30 minutes wait time. Second appointment - 40 minutes. Third appointment - 70(!!) minutes. New world record! Not going back there again.

I have been seeing Dr Gholami since July 1 or 2 times a month. He has a great Staff. Easy to book and cancel an appointment online. Phone and text appointment reminders. Dr. Gholami is very knowledgeable and up to date surrounding my issues and uses some of the newest techniques available to treat it. He sits and listens to your concerns and symptoms. Then tells you his experience around it and the options that are available to treat it. read more

Dr. Golami conveys knowledge and expertise but in my situation he recommended a procedure, requested blood work and an appointment to follow up. I am moving 300+ miles away and unable to return for the follow up and requested a phone consult, I was told "he doesn't do that". Ethically this is wrong as he is treating me for a condition with a drug I have never been on. My recommendation is to find someone who isn't focused on money and is willing to take time with their patients. I will say that his office staff is very courteous and helpful, they have made my visits very quick and easy. read more

I met with Dr. Gholami for a second opinion. I had earlier received an "all clear" for prostate cancer based upon blood work and digital exam from a previous urologist. At the time I was relieved knowing that my psa was in a so called "normal" range. Dr. Glohami quickly advised me that psa is not always a reliable indicator for PC. My biopsy revealed Gleason 7 prostate cancer, (same as the post surgery pathology report). Am forever grateful to Dr. Glolami for his lifesaving skills. He is smart, thorough, decisive and compassionate. My prostatectomy was performed at Good Samaritan Hospital on 02/15/2006. I continue to refer friends to Dr. Gholami. I appreciate the opportunity to comment. read more

Very Knowledgeable Surgeon and great staff. Very well organized. Short wait times for appointments.

I wish I could give him 0 stars. He was so rushed and dint even listen to my questions which I have. he just came in for 3 minutes and half of the time spoke to his assistant and dint even clearly say what was my problem and went away. When I ask his assistant she said we need a followup of 365$ more where we can answer your questions. He charged me 45+ minutes and 365$ to my insurance just for a 3 min consultation. Never go to this doctor if you want some answers. I just wasted my money with no answers. Doctors are meant to be not rushed and listen to patients questions. read more

I had a terrible experience with this Dr. Gholami which is really my own fault. Had i read the other reviews on Yelp, I would have been informed of the incompetent nature he runs his office. During my initial consultation with him, he brought in several young assistants where i had to explain a personal problem. Dr Gholami then prescribed me with medication worth $1300.00 and zero percent was covered by my insurance. After debating this internally, i decided I would purchase the medication. As I paid in the front lobby, the woman at the front counter made sure to broadcast the specific medication to the back office in front of several patients and the people waiting outside in the lobby. I was thoroughly embarrassed. As I left they did not communicate to me a notification protocol but said getting the medication would take awhile for them to receive it It was logical to me that they would notify me like every other Doctors Office would, and or pharmacy would when my prescription was ready. They did not. After a few months i went back to Dr Gholami's office and inquired and explained that the medication was never shipped and I was never notified. I got to speak with Dr, Gholami just inside the lobby door and in front of no less than 4 of his young office assistants. Dr Gholami informed me that the medication I purchased was in his refrigerator and he threw it out after 30 days. He said the medication was only good for 30 days and he was mandated to throw it out. I asked him repeatedly why one of his assistants did not call me and tell me my medication had shipped. I asked him why would they not communicate to me that I purchased medication that could expire in 30 days?I explained to him that this was a lot of money for me. Dr Gholami was not rude or condescending but he was stead fast in placing the entire blame on me. I explained it was an illogical business practice and I could barely afford the medication i purchased! I saw at least 5 assistants in Dr Gholami's office and I asked why one person could not take the time to notify customers that their medication was delivered and or had an expression date?!?!?! Dr Gholami, based on my experience, and that of many the posts here, is really in a "business above health." Further, the repeated lack of appropriate basic communication by Dr Gholami are problematic at best and dangerous at worst. I believe in not doing harm or dishonest things to others, especially over money. I Initially was going to leave this one to Kharma but I will be exploring my legal options. read more

Dr. Gholami is not only a terrible doctor he fraudulently billed me multiple times. I went to see him for left sided kidney pain and blood in my urine. We discussed the side of my pain, left, and even tapped on my left flank causing pain. I had an MRI study done that he said demonstrated a kidney stone of 2mm. and although small he recommended surgery to remove it. I had not seen the report and found out that the kidney stone was in my right kidney and not the left! He was going to do surgery on a kidney without symptoms! I called up and said I was cancelling the surgery due to he was doing surgery on the wrong kidney. They said I needed to come back in. I said I would not pay for my co-pay to come in and cancel a surgery for the wrong kidney. I was not charged. At that visit he accused me of lying about which kidney hurt. Seriously I think I know where my own pain it. He then looked at my MRI in the public hallway and said my pain was from "poop" backed up in my intestine. This gets more disconcerting. I was then billed numerous times for the $30 co-pay and I told them why I wasn't paying it. I was sent to collection. It gets worse. He also prescribed a medication on my allergy list and I had a reaction to it. It get worse. I looked at my insurance explanation of benefits statements and found out he fraudulently billed me for the appointments more than once. I was charged for 40 min. one on one appointments when no more than 5 mins. was spent with me not once but twice using the billing code 99215. This is impossible as he appointment are not spaced 40 min. apart. I called my insurance to report this fraudulent billing and was told I had to report it to the CA board of Medicine. That has been done. All in all a very bad experience with an incompetent and dishonest doctor. read more

First of all I'm sure Dr Gholami has never seen a pickier or a patient with more questions than me. It's difficult with Yelp reviews because anyone can say anything, even if not true or out of the doctors control. I'm 61. I went to other Urologists & diagnosed with Stage 3 Prostate cancer with a Psa count of 27. A count of 27 it is assured the cancer has left the Prostate. Other Urologists were very negative & left me with very little hope I would even survive. I spent hundreds of hours researching Urologists & felt confident Dr Gholami was the right doctor for me and was really convinced when I met with him. Every other doctor, person that did Xrays, Catscans, etc I met had nothing but great things to say about Dr Gholami. His confidence & sense of humor were refreshing. He assured me he'd take care of me & I'd be around a long time. Even more comforting since my father died at 46 of cancer. He said a Prostatectomy & radiation afterwards was what he recommended. So taking his advice he did just that. That was a year ago. After surgery, radiation, Hormone Therapy, Chemo pills and Immune therapy treatment my Psa count is .08. Anything below .1 is theoridically 100% cancer free. I'm finishing my medications to get to an absolute 0 but you can't imagine how relieved I am to have beat the odds. I'm sure this is due to Dr Gholami's skills. I'm sure my outcome would not have been so good with the other Urologists I went to. Some reviews complain about about the staff and the way the staff treated them. I couldn't disagree more. I've never been to a doctors office that treated me better, more sympathetic and were so responsive to me. They took care of all the paperwork, dealt with my insurance company to get me covered on everything. I had very little out of pocket because of their effeciency. All said Dr Gholami saved my life and I owe him a great debt of gratitude. I can never thank him enough. His staff are awesome and I actually look forward to visiting the office. Don't pay attention to some of the negative comments. Go for yourself and talk to him. read more

I would NOT trust this Doctor. He would have operated on the wrong side of my body if I didn't get another opinion. Do not let his education and rewards stop you from getting another opinion. I strongly would NOT trust him. My primary doctor and my surgeon were shocked when they read his report that had wrong diagnosis. He, also was rushing me to have the surgery. read more

I was a victim of Dr. Gholami also. Back in 2004 I was diagnosed with a mass on my kidney. I was reassured by Dr. Gholami robotic removal was the best treatment. The cancer was completely contained within my kidney. I would be cancer free once he preformed the removal. I was an idiot to have believed this. My metastatic cancer is now in my lung. How could I have been so stupid to have believed it was not in my blood??? This Dr is so stuck on himself & being healthy that is all he sees. Since I was a smoker I feel I did not get the proper care from him as a non-smoker would have. I am now trying to live as long as possible all thanks to Stanford!! I will fight this disease with everything I have left in me. I want to see my 15 Y.O. graduate. I want to see my Grandbabies grow some more. I want to live for those that do value & love me with all of my imperfections. Dr. Gholami, just because a person smokes does not mean they get inferior care from you. Not everyone can be as perfect as you want. NOT A GOOD DR AT ALL. If you have cancer, get to Stanford. read more

Long overdue review. My husband came to Dr. Gholami in January 2017 for a mass on his kidney turned out to be kidney cancer. Stage 3. Dr. Gholami stated that we needed to have his kidney removed but that it had not spread and once his kidney was removed he would just need surveillance. We did the procedure and all was well for about 9 months. Then in Dec 2017 we learned that not only had the cancer returned, but it had metastasized. Dr. Gholami told us our results and while doing so asked who our oncologist was....ummm you are?!?!? He said he couldnt help and sent us on our way with a doctor that he knew of that *may* be able to help. We decided to go to Stanford and on our very first appointment learned that he was stage 4 from the beginning. He was stage 4 and we did nothing because we were never informed. My husband passed 10/18, and I know that it could of been the outcome no matter what, however if we had been informed that he was stage 4 from the beginning he would of started treatment a lot sooner and could still be alive today. read more

Expect to wait in lobby. It took an hour after the scheduled appointment to get called into the back room.

Doctor didn't care at all. Was playing on his computer the whole time and was very cocky. He scarred my genitals for life when another doctor did things much different. Dr. Ghalami just dumped acid on me with negligence. I'm constantly reminded everyday of his doing. It hurts me everyday when I look down. Please be cautious with this doctor. Not recommended. read more

Very professional, the appointments are handled with little or no delay from the scheduled time. The diagnosis are crisp and have alway proven to be correct. The surgery was amazing effective (TURP with green light laser for BPH) and I did not need any of the prescribed pain killers. If you have questions be sure to asks them as Dr. Gholami is not the most talkative person in the world. read more
