Fast, friendly, and just so good. The whole staff is great! My first visit was for an ear infection and that got taken care of quickly. Now i just go back for regular ear cleanings. Today my appointment was at 10:30AM. I got there at 10:25, went straight back, and was walking out at 10:30. Just perfect! read more

Consummate professional. Extremely knowledgeable and kind - Dr. Rastani has treated my children and husband for 20 years.

One of the best, Dr and Bay Area. He's extremely knowledgeable and down to earth.. I highly recommend Dr. Rastani

What a great experience. To start his staff were professional,kind and I was able to get in in a reasonable amount of time. The communication and notifications were good. I waited in his office for only a very short time before seeing the doctor. He was thorough, knowledgeable and gave complete explanations of what he was doing, why he was doing it and then what he found. He he gave me a paper with the care instructions that he had gone over with me verbally first. It was super refreshing to find a doctor like this in today's world. Highly read more

I saw Dr. Ellison on 11/3/25 and after a hearing test he ordered a MRI for me. I found him to be very thoughtful in his questions and he called the day after the MRI with my results even though I was able to read them on myhealth. I had follow-up questions and he responded to my emails within hours on the same day. i highly recommended him. Yvonne K. read more

Dr. Rastani is nice doctor who covers everything in a timely manner. The office is nice and the staff even worked with me on a Medicare issue I brought up that was rectified very well. Highly recommend! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Petersen ever since he joined the practice and have been extremely happy with his service and expertise. He is knowledgeable, personable, reliable, and friendly. I have never had to wait a long time for someone to answer the phone and appointment times have always been very accommodating. read more

I called on Tuesday afternoon, reached their office staff( they picked up immediately), and had an appointment for Wednesday morning. The earliest Appointment in Marin was for another two weeks with another doctor. I drove to the city, had easy parking in Union Square, and arrived in their office in one hour, door to door from San Rafael. Dr. Kasrani did a thorough exam, cleaned my ears, and pinpointed the root cause. I could not be happier. I highly recommend him. read more

I have been seeing two doctors at Audiology in San Francisco for hearing loss issues and I developed very infuriating itching caused by mr hearing aids devices and for over two years unsuccessful treatments by these two doctors I decided to see my Dermatologist for help and she right away referred me to Doctor Rastani and doctor Rastani pricribes two meds and three over the counter meds and in less one week my ears feel normal after two years and no more itching. 2-11-2025 Hooshang read more

If I could give 10 stars or more, I would. Recently had a throat surgery with Dr. Rastani. He is one of the most caring, compassionate, professional, and efficient doctors I have ever seen. Dr. Rastani listened and assessed quickly, prescribed conservative treatment, and did not push me into surgery in any way. He let me decide on surgery and even told me that if I wanted to change my mind, that was fine. Once surgery was done, he was glad that I had made the decision to go ahead, because the cyst that was removed was a bit odd (and fortunately, not cancerous). I believed I had full access to Dr. Rastani, who encouraged me to check in with him as needed, and would follow up with me almost daily, as needed. He also would call me two hours after I had left his office, to see how I was faring. He once even met me in the Emergency Room to assist in making me more comfortable- and this was on a day that he was not on-call. I have never been treated with such compassion from a doctor before, and I can only highly recommend Dr. Rastani to those who have need of his services. He is truly a real medicine man. He is a gem! read more

Dr Rastani is an exceptional doctor and the only ENT in the city who has been able to fit me in for same-day appointments. When you suspect you have a sinus infection, being able to see someone immediately to confirm and begin treatment is a game changer. He and his front desk staff could not be kinder either. Five stars all around! read more

Dr. Rastani was able to get me into a last minute appointment when I was experiencing vocal issues. He has great bedside manner and truly cares about his patients health. I really appreciate that he offered more natural/conservative remedies to help with my issues before jumping to anything invasive. I can't recommend Dr. Rastani enough. He is kind, patient, thoughtful, and a very intelligent doctor. read more

I rarely review establishments that aren't food related, but I just had to leave a review for this man! I had been dealing with chronic congestion and sinus problems in my life, and it wasn't until I saw him that he was able to get to the root of the problem. We had septoplasty surgery, and I've never felt better. read more

I've known Kasra since he started his private practice. He is an excellent diagnostician with impeccable technique. I've cared for many of his patients in the surgical recovery room. I also referred my spouse to him for a vocal cord nodule removal. And you know (or you do now) that nurses just don't refer just anyone in their speciality. I remember when he saved a patient (admitted from the ER) who was having a post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (which usually happens within the first 10 postop days or so when the soft scabs on the tonsillar bed slough off), which is a dire emergency. The OR wasn't even completely set up yet. Yet, he had that patient sedated, intubated with another pair of hands to help with two suction set ups so he could visualize the vocal cords, manage the airway, and then anesthesia could take over with a rapid sequence induction all within a matter of a minute or two. I would trust him with my life. And not only is he excellent at his job, he is a really nice guy. Oh, and he does a great septoplasty and sinus surgeries, as well. read more

Came here for Ear Cleaning, best treatment and quick solution. Cant thank enough because i was in need badly.

Dr Rastani, Is a great and very good doctor. He tried everything to make me better. I'm so lucky I found him. Thank you so much Dr Rastani read more

I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Rastani! Over the years I've learned to trust his concise advice and grounded demeanor. Apart from being an elegant and efficient man, most helpful to me?- he's C A L M . . . read more

Very kind, professional, and thorough in his exams and instructions for after care. I had a bit of an emergency and was able to be seen quickly and left the appointment feeling prepared with the knowledge that I needed and trust in Dr. Rastani's advice and availability. read more

Takes interest in listening to the patient's issues and concerns. During Covid he was available by phone and returned my call to assist me with my sinus issues. He shows he cares about his patients. read more

Kasra Rastani changed my life! He really did. I have been suffering from chronic nosebleeds my entire life, sometimes lasting up to 4 hours. To combat them, I've even based moving/residency decisions based on humidity conditions. I didn't expect the SF climate to dry out my sinuses the way it did - but I think all of the patio heaters outside would aggravate my sinuses and dry them out. In March, I had a 4-hour long nosebleed at a restaurant in Chinatown. Finally, in June, I had enough when I suddenly suffered another serious nosebleed. My partner called around and Dr. Rastani just happened to have time to see me right away, while I was still bleeding. He was able to cauterize 3 veins in my nostril, and I haven't had a nosebleed since. This procedure has changed my life. I can visit desert climates without having to carry around a travel humidifier. I can visit Iceland this winter and not worry about getting nonstop nosebleeds. I am elated and wish I had taken care of this sooner, though I'm not sure this technology was around when I was young. 10/10 recommend. read more

After reading reviews of Dr. Rastani, I decided to make an appointment to get a second opinion about my hearing loss. He gave me his full attention even to the point of explaining in detail my hearing loss chart as well as showing diagrams of the ear describing the reason for my hearing loss. He has a warm professional demeanor that immediately engenders confidence. I feel I have seen the best! read more

Dr. Rastani is both professional and personable. He is kind and compassionate. We feel like we are in good hands being treated by Dr Rastani. His staff is very nice too. read more

I had an ear infection and they were able to offer appt almost immediately. Dr Rastani was very knowledgeable and caring. Staff were friendly and helpful too! read more

Dr. Rasta I was professional and personable. I had wax and tips lodged in my ear. He removed it all without me having any pain or discomfort during the procedure. He uses suction vs. flushing the ear with water. His method is superior. He was very thorough and gave great advice and consultation. read more

Doctor Rastani, is the best! I just had surgery septoplasty and he did a beautiful job. I am very happy with his work and his staff. I have seen a lot of doctors, 4 surgeries in my time in SF. I can honestly say Dr Rastani is the best doctor and I have had a really good experience with his staff. read more

Dr. Rastani is great! I had a painful fluid-in-ear situation and he was able to accommodate me the same day I called. He had to do a procedure to drain the fluid and, despite my minor freak out about it, the whole thing was fast and painless, and my ear immediately felt better. His office staff is helpful and polite, there's never a wait, and Dr. Rastani is amiable, professional, and thorough. read more

Rastani is unwilling to honestly document and treat patients high toxic mold exposure. I developed debilitating symptoms within a few days of moving into a new rental. My GP put me on meds and told me to find an ENT. I went to Rastani four months into the toxic mold issue in my home. He seemed compassionate, yet also insisted on a protocol to "rule out" other potential causes. This included a months worth of multiple pharmacueticals and going to an allergist. During this time I showed Rastani the professional tests deeming my home as uninhabitable due to high toxic mold. When I asked Rastani why his notes stated that my diagnosis was environmental mold exposure from the outdoors, he pretended to not know where this was in my notes. During the next visit I brought in the printed out notes and showed him. He then got very close to my face and said that his diagnosis is based on the most popular reason for toxic mold issues, NOT what I experienced and showed him via professional tests. He stated that he would change his diagnosis so that I would stop ARGUING with him - inappropriate gaslighting. I asked him why he left my chief complaints blank and why he did not document the sinusitis in his notes, only citing vague symptoms like that I looked fatigued. He refused to provide a sensical answer. After the visit I saw that he kept the diagnosis as an undefined outdoor environmental issue. ENT's know that 50% of homes have high toxic mold, and they know that those of us reacting to the mold need documentation from ENT's stating the need for home mold remediation. Because the environment will never pursue Rastani in court, while plenty of landlord's will, his diagnosis, chief complaints, etc always leave out patient's actual experience and documented home toxicity. Because my allergy skin tests were negative and no doctor acknowledges my genomic tests showing high mold intollerance, they make plenty of money from multiple visits and pharmacuetical kickbacks without actually helping me and lots of others being mold poisoned in our homes. read more

Fantastic doctor, I have known him for many years. One of the gems. Highly recommend

Very thorough and caring. Thank you Dr Kasra Rastani and staff for being welcoming and for care.

Doctor answered all my questions patiently. Prompt care and good scheduling experience. Highly recommend this clinic.

Seems like the best doctors never read their Yelp reviews! At the end of our appt, I asked him if he read his and he said no. Of course not -- because he's SOOOO GOOD! I encouraged him to -- because his reviews are excellent and well deserved. He's an outstanding physician who takes a conservative and common sense approach before rushing one into surgical solutions. I've had a complicated medical history these past 4 years and have grown weary of doctors and their trigger finger on the surgical gun, or doctors with their own branded potions/balms/tonics they sell. (Although, in their defense, insurance robs them of practicing medicine as they were trained and eats into their profits... so they do what they have to do, I guess). Dr. Rastani stands out from his peers in that his first offense is conservative, common sense treatments at home with OTC products and diligence. While not ruling out surgery, he aims to avoid it if possible. He did this with my husband and me. We are both having. positive outcomes with his conservative recommendations. Extremely pleasant and gracious. A walking encyclopedia of knowledge that he carefully transmits in layman's terms. We have never waited more than 5 minutes. His staff is professional, courteous and responsive. read more

I had been struggling with an ear infection for over a week. Dr. Rastani cleaned my ear, put an ear wick in, because my ear canal was swollen, and gave me specific ear drops and antibiotics that cleared up the infection almost immediately. He saw me again two days later and cleaned my ear once more, and saw me again three days later to clean my ear. After struggling with my ear for over a week and being sure my ear drum was ruptured, it was so wonderful to have the issue fixed. In some cases, it's so much better to see a specialist. He is also on time. I barely ever waited in the waiting area. read more

Nice doctor, nice updated facility. If you are going for a tinnitus/hyperacusis issue, expect them to spend a couple minutes doing a hearing test, a few seconds looking into your ears and telling you there's nothing they can do and getting hit with a $1,000 bill for a 5 minute visit. I went in a few days following an acoustic trauma with an audiogram that was borderline mild hearing loss which Dr. Rastani said was "normal". A steroid treatment (very important to get within days of trauma) could have potentially helped but the doctor laughed it off, told me my issues should go away and to come see him in a month or two. Had I received proper treatment in time, my life could be a lot different than it is now. read more

He is so nice and thorough! I have had bad ears my whole life so I am very happy to have found him now that I moved here. Staff at front is very kind as well! read more

Pluses: He's really nice and helpful. He did a thorough medical exam on my son's hearing. He also gave us printouts with recommendations... Minuses: I'm not sure whether that's him or just current medicine in general, but here is the story: my son had bad ear ringing which was driving him nuts. As the medical exam didn't reveal anything, the doctor recommended couple of things but he said it'll either go away on its own or we'll have to learn to live with it. I didn't agree with such an attitude and took him to a functional alternative medicine clinic in Saratoga and they did a very thorough exam and X-rays. Guess what - his spine is messed up and his jaw is out of place. After the very first adjustment he was sitting there almost crying from happiness because the ear ringing got way quieter! So far we've got 6-7 adjustments only and he says the ringing is twice as quiet as it used to be. Now, I don't expect a medical doctor to check spine. He's not a chiropractor (and as much as love alternative medicine, I'd still go to ENT in case of an ear infection or inflammation). But I wish he had advised us to check for structural problems. Once again, if you have an obvious problem with your ears - he's good. Zero wait, fast service, very well educated. read more

After months of failing to get rid of a persistent nose infection, and not being able to find an ENT that could take an earlier appt, I was able get into Dr. Rastani's office. Staff was professional and friendly. I didn't have to wait long before seeing Dr. Rastani, who quickly assessed my issue and cause. His prescription and treatment worked amazingly well! The infection was gone by day 7 of my 10-day treatment. Dr. Rastani is very knowledgeable, professional and a great find! He has my family's future business! read more

5 stars is not enough to give him, he is the most amazing and professional ENT I have ever been to. My visit was quick he fixed my ears AGAIN in a matter of 10 minutes as I walked out a happy woman with my hearing back.. his staff are amazing as well!!! Thank you Dr Rastani and staff read more

Super professional, kind, knowledgeable, time efficient, cost effective, and friendly staff.

If you are paying out of pocket, please look for an ENT elsewhere. After getting a quick 30 second ear cleaning my bill came to a $500 amount. I was shocked to see this as I've been getting my ears medically cleaned for the past 8 years and it's never cost me more than $170 (max) out of pocket. I like the doctor but the fees are simply outrageous. Will have to return to my usual office which has zero "surprise fees" after shelter in place is fully lifted. read more

I agree with everyone who has given Dr. Rastani five stars. He is an exceptional medical provider and has been for me and my family for years. He is clearly experienced and extremely professional. You know you're dealing with an expert when you're with him. But equally (if not, more) important, he is incredibly kind, compassionate, and personable. Wow. He cares! He is incredibly detail-oriented and hands on. If his patient had something serious, he would advise with honesty, clarity, and support. When you go to see Dr. Rastani, no matter what procedure needs to be done, he will tell you what to expect and will guide you. Also, as a side note, his office is totally Covid prepared. No worries! Dr. Rastani is a top doctor. Thank you for your time and care! From an emergency nurse practitioner. read more
