Ava is a real pro. I could tell based on the questions that she asked and how thorough she was during our mold inspection. I'm so grateful to have found her and Healthy Indoor Professionals in our time of need. It's incredibly hard to find someone to trust who is honest, skilled, and knowledgeable. Really can't recommend them enough! read more

I just got off the phone with AVA. She was very informative. I'm going to book her for a reading of my air quality in my home. She was very nice. She spent at least 20 minutes on the phone answering all my questions and was very knowledgeable about air quality, including mold. read more

Hired Healthy Indoor Professionals in March of this month for a mold inspection. First of all, Ava was very responsive/accommodating, even during the weekend which was good. Her company did a good job in my opinion, no complaints. We paid $400 for a mold inspection for a room in a condo. Tip: We used the Yelp "Project" functionality (contacted initially directly through yelp portal) which Ava responded pretty promptly, and was easy to use. read more

Very helpful really knowledgeable I recommend great response and was giving me alternative ways

Ava is amazing. I was concerned about potential mold in my condo because of chronic migraines I recently developed and her report gave me peace of mind that I did not have a mold problem. Ava was very thorough and explained the whole process while she was at my home and I could tell she really cares about her clients and their well being. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a very caring professional. read more

Ava was helpful, punctual, and responsive. She explained the process, took photos, and provided a detailed report which I could show to my HOA. Highly recommend. read more

Living in the heart of Beverly Hills, you'd think we'd not have this situation but we did. My dog and I got so sick from mold and I had no idea where to go. Health Department won't cite the landlord if it is not visible. Landlord (a doctor) told me it was not unhealthful. We called so many places and heard so many horror stories. So, I was referred to Ava and talked to her many times... different people were calling for me and she was polite and never got annoyed with our incessant questions and was so patient and readily available to assist us. Today she appeared on time... and it had already been inspected but I heard nothing more than the lab result. With Ava she sent me pictures finding visible mold in the least expected areas. Wow, we didn't even know she'd give us such a personal explanation. My dog died last week as a result of the mold exposure... if only I knew how serious mold is. Have your place tested today! Ava has the most reasonable prices and will help you through it. Health Indoor Professionals knows their field of toxins. I highly recommend! I only wish I knew of them a year ago. read more

I wanted to check our house for mold and one of my friends recommended HIP to me. Ava is very professional in her work and I am really glad that I found her. She helped us to find the mold source and gave us a good explanation about our home mold problem, and then helped us to fix it. read more

The mold challenges of living in rentals is nothing short of apocalyptic. If a landlord does not see mold they typically refuse to get testing and least this has been the case for me twice now. Once I was invited to get out of my lease so the landlord did not need to deal with mold testing. To avoid this happening a third time I decided to take it upon myself to pay for mold testing which was a big expense. Ava's price was competitive with others but she also offered to save me the cost of lab work if her preliminary examination did not reveal a need to do further testing. She was very professional and thorough, taking moisture samples in multiple spot which quickly revealed an invisible leak within the walls. This lead to the land lord taking action and fixing the problem... finally! Totally recommend Healthy Indoor professionals. Health is priceless, they are worth every penny. read more

We hired Dr Ava and she was by far the best and reliable testing company you can ask for. I have been through many different companies, and she was the only one to not give me the run around and was pretty straight forward. If you see any sort of water damage , go to this company first before making your next move. read more

We are so grateful for Dr. Ava. She was so thorough and explained things for us. She took all our calls and questions as we were going through the process. Her reviews speak volumes for her work and personal care. I highly recommend her if you're in the same situation like us. read more

I am super happy with Healthy Indoor Professionals. They truly are professionals. I had the pleasure of working with Ava who was beyond helpful. She was very nice, patient, and answered all my questions. I got a next day appointment and everything was smooth. I definitely recommend them for all of your mold testing needs. 5 stars! read more

All five stars don't lie! Ava was easy to schedule with, on time, and she explained what was happening every step of the way. I highly recommend her. read more

Ava is incredibly knowledgeable, meticulous in her work and truly caring with her clients. I've been having serious health issues for the past eleven months, and it has been such a mystery what was the cause. I chose Ava because her background in microbiology gives her a deeper understanding of the corollary effects of environmental stressors and toxins on health. She inspected our home and after quoting us for testing the whole house over the phone, when she discovered what was clearly the source of the problem, she only charged me the hourly rate for her time. She gave us expert advice and laid out the no nonsense reality of the situation. She is not someone to try to create problems to be able to make money. She's honest, and she truly cares. Thank you Ava! read more

My experience with Dr. Ava far exceeded my expectations. She checked not only for mold but also for fiberglass, chemicals and even human skin cells (much of what we call "dust.") After a thorough "intake" with me, she checked air ducts, specific areas I was concerned with and even outdoor pollen and an outdoor control. Highly recommend her services. read more

I recently called this business because I needed mold and air sampling to be done for my work. Dr. Ava was professional and quick in answering my questions. She provided a lot of guidance to help me properly and safely handle my mold situation. I called many places and felt her services and prices were very reasonable. She took samples and had the results and report back to me in a timely manner. I'm so glad I found her! read more

Ava was very quick to respond and set up a time to meet the same week in order to take air quality and mold samples. She was extremely kind and explained to me what mold eats and inspected the area closely- asking me questions to fully understand the big picture since the water damage was from a leak in my AC years ago. She is very communicative and I highly recommend her if you need a mold inspection. read more

Highly recommend Healthy Indoor Professionals if you are ever concerned about mold in your home! Ava was honest, thorough, thoughtful and most importantly she actually cared about your situation and wanted to help rather than charge us extra for work she felt we ultimately didn't need. We had mold growing in various areas of our home and we thought it was due to the immense amount of rain and moisture we received this year and reached out to Ava with our concerns. She responded right away, asked us to share photos to visually assess (which we did) and she eventually came to our home to take 3 samples. She took the time to explain her initial assessment during her visit, how to clean and what we could do to help prevent future mold and she really seemed to genuinely care for our family's well being, which we so deeply appreciated. Thank you, Ava! We haven't had mold ever since! :) read more

Ava was a pleasure to work with- she was flexible with her schedule and showed up exactly on time! She was warm and professional and asked a lot of questions which indicated to me that she wasn't just there to take the air samples and my money- she really wanted to help with identifying the root cause of my wife's allergies. I appreciated her explanations and walkthrough of all the things she was doing and why she was asking certain questions. She turned around the samples in the agreed upon time and answered my follow-up question promptly! I reached out to and spoke with about a dozen other vendors and she stood out among the rest. After the work was done, I know I made the right choice. I've already recommended her to another friend. thanks Ava! read more

Dr. Masoumi is phenomenal! I had been having health issues that began when I moved into a new home, and coupled with my anxiety it was causing me some distress. Dr. Masoumi walked me through my home, showed me and explained to me where mold can and cannot grow and answered all my questions about safe indoor conditions. She took air samples and got back to me with results even faster than I thought, sent me photos and was able to pinpoint where the increase in mold was and what I should request my landlord to repair/take a look at. She also was able to spot the air filters in the unit that needed to be replaced. Thank you Dr. Masoumi! read more

Very pleased with the service I received from Ava! She was available on short notice, very detail oriented, and kindly explained her whole process and methodology to me so I'd understand where we were testing, how, and why, and give my input. She took her time during the inspection, included me throughout the process, and when she got the lab results she explained them in a very clear and helpful manner along with her personal recommendations. I've used another mold inspection company before who didn't explain as much about why/where/how they were testing, and I felt much more panicked and unsure what to do after receiving their results. In contrast, with Ava I understand more, and I feel much more confident & comforted about the results we got and what they mean. Thank you Ava! read more

Your search is over!! Hire her! Honestly, you will not find better service at a better price. We hired her last year to do some independent mold testing in our apartment. She found things that the company hired by our building management "overlooked". She was thorough, professional and VERY knowledgeable. Her detailed report helped us win a case against our building owners. She also offered resources to help us ensure our health could be checked after exposure to the mold. She is wonderful! If we could give more than 5 stars, we would!!! read more

The Queen of Mold! A++++!!! She is amazing, thorough, and on point! Let us break this down into a very detailed analysis of what you are getting with your money and you will quickly reallze, that every single penny you spend on Ava, is worth it. I am very critical of people I work with and let's start by saying that Ava is not only the Queen of Mold, she is the ONLY person of all the mold experts out there, that you should be working with. From the start, she stayed on the phone with me as long as I needed to explain the process of testing and every detail about what would happen and what might be going on with my home. I was so impressed. I called 10 mold companies before her and each one was fine, okay, good, lots of information. They were like C+ and B- and B. They were kinda interested, but more so about selling me on additional products. Ava wasn't interested in the sale, but on HELPING ME. Truly. She showed up on time promptly, called me as she was getting close. She arrived and went right to work. Explaining each step as she went. Carefully studying the home looking for every indication and also listening to my story. What had happened in the past, what had happened before i moved in, to neighbors etc. She took it all into account and did some swabs and air tests in the perfect locations. Anything that was suspect she understood what it was and what it might be. I had had a mold test at a different home years before and they just put down a container and left the room, came back, collected and left. Night and day from what Ava does. Her process is through, we would walk through the rooms, pounding on the floors and walls to release any possibly mold. She even looked over an old mold report for me from another home and re-interpreted it correctly. Dr. Ava, the mold Queen, is the only one you should use. read more

Very responsive when I asked for an estimate and other details, and did a very thorough, careful job with the inspection. Thank you.

I had an Issue with a living space I had recently moved into. My asthma and allergies were being triggered, especially at night. There was an odd smell I couldnt describe. It was getting very hard to live there, so I decided to get the air quality checked. I found Ava on yelp and gave her a call. She was concerned about my symptoms and immediately set up an appointment with me to test the air quality. Throughout the whole process, Ava was kind, considerate and informative. Always telling me what she was doing as she was doing it. She was thorough, and you can tell she really cared about getting to the bottom of this air issue. Being a student on a budget, Ava was kind enough to give me a special on her inspection services. When it came time to pay, she accidentally charged me more than she had quoted me, but she immediately caught it and let me know. She took my to her nearest bank atm and refunded me the money In cash that she had accidentally overcharged. Not only is Ava a caring, considerate person, she is very honest. Overall I had a great experience with her and highly recommend her to anyone having air quality issues. read more

I'm very glad I called this company. Ava was great...very professional, knowledgeable and took a great deal of time explaining the process, what to expect, as well the test results. Throughout, there was no underlying effort to up-sell, and given our mostly, but not entirely, positive lab tests, gave us a DIY solution, not an expensive remediation quote. I would definitely recommend the Healthy Indoor Pros. read more

For the last couple of years, my family and I were becoming very suspicious of mold in our house; however, the landlord always refused to acknowledge or investigate the matter. We really didn't know why all of us were having constant allergies, especially when we would be inside of our home (versus being at work or in school). We thought that it would be too expensive and too complicated to find the truth, but a colleague at the office highly recommended that we would get great advice and help if we called Dr. Ava. Thankfully, Dr. Ava made everything so simple. She was always very prompt, professional, helpful, and she truly cared about making sure that we had a healthy home. Every time we called, she was always so pleasant and happy to help us. Dr. Ava wrote a very thorough and factual report that helped us win our case against our landlord in court. She then guided us through the process of having all of the horrible mold removed from our house. We feel so much better now. We really could not have done it without her help and support. read more

I am a landlord in the city of Santa Monica, and recently was asked by one of our tenants to have their unit tested for mold due to her ongoing respiratory issues. Having taken a good amount of time to research a top rated mold specialist, I ended up choosing Dr Massoumi based not only on reviews, but aslo for her professional credentials as a microbiologist and specialty within the area of mold inspection. As a conscientious landlord seeking to maintain a safe and healthy environment for our tenants, my decision to hire Dr. Massoumi was confirmed as being the right choice based on her expertise, communication skills and genuine concern for our tenant's well being. Thank you Dr. Massoumi! read more

I appreciate Aba. Aba was so informative. I called to ask her to schedule an appointment and to find out how much it would cost for someone to come inspect my house for air quality. Instead, she help me trouble shoot over the phone for the few possibilities my air quality is causing my allergic reaction. I just had a new air conditioner installed, new duct work, hepa filter and air scrubber. I discovered the air scrubber irritated my throat and smelled bad. So I had it removed, I continued to have problems which resulted in a ER visit. Aba said it is probably not the 5 inch hepa filter opposed to the 1 inch filter, I had been using the 1 inch filter for the last 16 years with no problem. I took the 1 inch filter out and replaced it with the 5 inch hepa filter, but I am still having throat irritation and tingling on my tongue. I opened all the doors for about 5 hours, still problems, then I closed all the doors and waiting to see if it makes a difference. Aba said that if I am still having problems it has to be the duct work. So; I called the guy that sold me this new system and told him if I don't get relief he has to send an inspector to check the duct work. His response was "so you want to pay someone to come and tell me our work is bad". I said you told me when you insulated the duct that it would have to be inspected after installation, now you are saying that does not have to happen for new duct work. I had no issues before all this work. I want to let her know I appreciate her helping me trouble shoot over the phone. read more

From the moment she showed up, Dr. Ava Masoumi was professional, prepared and on top of everything. She is incredibly knowledgeable about mold and water damage, which was the concern in my apartment. She addressed all my questions & concerns, and was patient & understanding throughout the process. She explains what she's doing while testing, and gives a clear interpretation of the test results. If you're looking for someone who does a thorough job, is totally honest, efficient, and highly experienced, you can trust that Ava has all that and more. Her integrity is without question, and she goes above & beyond from start to finish. Thank you, Ava! read more

We moved in a new home and Dr. Masoumi helped us to collect the formaldehyde test from our bedroom. She arrived on time and did everything well. We appreciated her prompt response and her professional and attentive attitudes. We highly recommend her. Thank you again, Ava! read more

After hiring Dr. Masoumi to assess my residence for mold, I can totally see why she's rated at five stars. Ava is responsive, thorough, and very professional. I reached out to her because I suspected my home was infested with mold. I had experienced respiratory problems for several years since moving into my residence. She was able to come out to the location the day after I contacted her and sent the results after just a few days. She did a very thorough range of tests including collecting air and direct samples in multiple locations in my home, which also included a control sample to ensure scientific rigor. This gave me confidence in the quality of her results. If you are suspicious you might have a mold problem, I would not hesitate to reach out to her. Knowing the cause of a problem is the first step in addressing it. read more

I kept getting headaches and smelling weird things from one room in my home. I asked around and heard it could be mold. A friend recommended Dr. Ava and she came to do her testing. Thank god she came because she told me how dangerous the toxins were I was living in. I can't be happier I called her. She helped me so much and she was so professional and prompt. read more

Dr. Masoumi was very professional and helpful... the test is totally worth it just for peace of mind.

Such a great experience, definitely 5 stars. I have been having some breathing problems and my doctor gave Healthy Indoor Professionals information to me to inspect our home for mold and other allergens. Dr Ava was very professional and found the leak and mold problem quickly and gave us recommendation for a mold remediation. I strongly recommend them if you need a mold inspection in your home. read more

Ava was great. I called another place but Ava's prices were better. She also agreed to additional discount because we did two samples. Hired her to do mold samples at two properties: one I was moving in to and one at a family members house. She met me next day which was great because I needed to know the condition before we moved in. She was very professional and arrived on time. She was very nice to talk with. Afterward we went to the other property. By the next day she had results for our place (we asked for rush order on that one) and a few days later she had results for the other. One was good one not good. She made a whole report and everything. We weren't expecting that! Im sure this is going to make things a lot easier for us when we deal with the insurance company. Thank you, Ava! Very much appreciated. read more

Ava is so great to work with. She will write you a great, thorough report. She helped us with any other questions even after our mold test. We were very happy with her services. read more

I recently moved into a new place in an older building and had concerns about possible mold / contaminants. I called and scheduled an appointment with Ava and she was prompt, knowledgeable and professional. She proceeded to test the unit and in my particular case the tests came back negative. This in and of itself has put my mind at ease with regard to possible contaminants. I would and will recommend her services to anyone that may require them. read more

Ava is fantastic! She is a true expert in that she isn't going to waste your time and money with unnecessary work--she uses her knowledge and equipment (and strong nose!) to pinpoint your issue and only recommends drastic action if absolutely necessary. We bought an old home with a funny odor that emerges only when the afternoon sun hits the exterior; Ava's inspection and analysis assured us that it wasn't mold or harmful VOCs--likely just organic rot in the old wood that won't harm us. We are so grateful for this peace of mind and recommend Ava's services to anyone suspecting something is going on in their home or business! read more

Ava is one of the most professional, compassionate, and intelligent individuals I've had the pleasure of meeting and working with. She responded swiftly to my request for a mold inspection and was able to accommodate the very short turnaround time I had requested with no issue. She patiently and thoroughly walked me through the best options for her service over the phone, given the specific situation I was dealing with in my apartment. Upon arriving, again, she was patient and thorough in her inspection and took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. She even went out of her way to offer detailed explanations about certain types of molds and additional scientific facts related to it that clearly demonstrate that she is an expert in her field. She was even able to pinpoint the strain of mold that I had been exposed to just from seeing and hearing my sinus/respiratory issues first hand! After the inspection she informed me that I would receive the results of the lab report in a few days and she was spot on. I received the report a few days later and she was kind enough to offer to write a second report that would put the first report in layman's terms. She did just that and then followed up with me over the phone to walk me through all of the details of both reports and the exact meaning of the results. Additionally, she offered details on the next steps that would be necessary to eradicate mold from my home and prevent its future recurrence. I would highly recommend Healthy Indoor Professionals to anyone concerned about exposure to mold in their home. Ava made it an easy and pain free experience. read more
