I've been going to Dr Talebi for about 9 years now. He's a caring person and he really listens to what you have to say. He keeps up to date with medical science. His staff are friendly and competent. read more

I was 9 minutes late for my appointment and he refused see me. Said I had to reschedule. I will never go back. If he cared about clients medical needs , he would see his patients He is not god and everyone's time is valuable. His staff was extremely rude when I complained About the cancellation.

I really like Dr. Talebi, but the office sucks, and it's gotten to the point that I'll never go back. They stopped answering their phones at some point. Calls went straight to voicemail, but at least they'd call back. But for months now, their vm box has been full, and I can't even leave a message. When I went in for my physical earlier this year, the doc ordered an MRI, and my insurance ended up denying it. I just thought it was an insurance thing until I happened to be calling my insurance for something else this summer and asked them about it. They said it was because the doctor's office had never responded to their request for more information. And of course, when I've tried to call and ask them about it, they're not answering their phones or accepting voicemail messages. Honestly, I've wondered of the place has closed down, but if so, why do they still have a voicemail at all. I'd steer clear of this place. read more

Just wanted to give an FYI that I have been trying to call for a week to set up a new patient appointment, and the phone goes straight to voicemail with a mailbox that is full. Not the best professionalism to not have a working phone, especially at a doctor's office! read more

Dr Talebi is an extremely good doctor. He listens, asks good questions, and never fails to request necessary blood work. He has a good sense of humor and is extremely caring and down-to-earth. I went in complaining of some problems with my digestion (come to find out I needed my gall bladder removed) and I wasn't too clear in my explanation and had been having pains in my chest..he immediately gave me an EKG right there in the exam room. After more questioning and me finally giving up alllll of my symptoms, I think WE BOTH concluded it was my gall bladder... But I ended up having an ultrasound too, of course. He is very easy to talk to and the office staff is extremely kind also! Remember, doctors are NOT MIND READERS... tell them everything, even if it seems trivial to you! read more

Dr. Talebi is a humble and gentle man who is genuinely concerned for each individual patient. He is focused on listening and using probing questions, like a good dentist, to pinpoint the root of the symptoms. I could tell just in 15 minutes, that he was not sceptical of my explanation of what was bothering me. After Dr. Talebi listened and asked a series of questions, he developed a plan of approach that caused me to understand that he thinks of every possiblity, then narrows it down by my answers, then comes up with a diagnosis that is very logical and personally made for my circumstances, then the plan of action. As he asked questions and took notes on my chart at the same time, I realized he is the doctor I want to help me be the healthiest I can be. To those who live in Butte and Glenn counties, who want to experience a physician who will get you in a good State of physical and mental health, I recommend Dr. Talebi. PS After addressing my reason for the visit, he must have looked over my medical chart before he came in the room, because he asked, when was the last time I had a colonoscopy. I forgot to schedule a colonoscopy 6-8 months ago and he caught it. I look forward to seeing Dr. Talebi to get my health going in the right direction. I'm 62 and I believe he is the best and most thorough doctor I have seen in years. Thanks for your time. Daniel Nevawitz Glenn County, California read more

Dr Talebi saved my life by prescribing an inhaler and strong cough syrup back when I visited him in February 2020 with a fever, cough, and shortness of breath. This went down before anyone realized COVID had already started killing people in the Bay Area. But later that week when i was in the heat of battle with the virus, I really appreciated Dr. Talebi's prescriptions. I owe him everything. read more

I love Dr. Talebi. He is an extremely good doctor. He always listens very carefully and has such an easy manner. He errs on the side of caution. His office staff is prompt and courteous. He has even returned my calls on the weekend when it was an emergency. read more

Dr. Talebi is a wonderful doctor, who's not in a rush when it's your appointment time. Listening patiently, and addressing your concerns comes naturally to him. Overall with his knowledge, understanding of what a doctor should know, his kindness and humor makes him my absolute first choice. I've always left his office feeling better, knowing I've been taken care of. He's overall a great doctor and a kind human being :). read more

I want to express my gratitude for the careful investigation, monitoring and treatment that I recived at Doctor Talebi's hands two weeks ago. It is a great feeling to know that I have the best doctor to rely on in times of bad health. I sincerely thank you for taking care of me. I believe that you are one of the best doctors in the world. God bless you! read more

I have been with Dr. Talebi for the past 2 years. At first my phone calls were answered by staff, which I liked. Now calls are recorded and they say promptly returned, but that is not always true. So far it doesn't matter, but if I have an urgent problem, I would find that totally unacceptable. During my appointment with Dr. Talebi yesterday, I was very impressed with his ability to "keep his cool" while I was certainly loosing mine and expressing the bothersome symptoms of being 88 years old as though I thought perhaps they were "his fault" somehow. He seemed to understand my frustrations, explaining the " why, when, and wherefores" of my discomforts and suggested we try a simple inexpensive way for a cure before going further. I liked that idea - we'll see if they worked in the next two weeks. Good going, Doctor Talebi !! read more

Caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and amazing doctor. He has a wonderful bedside manner and really makes time for his patients. Waiting area and exam rooms are very clean. I was also a Dr. Gale patient and didn't believe he could fill her shoes, but he certainly surpassed my expectations. read more

Dr. Talebi was my Dr. for over 5 years and I have found him to be unable to trust. He referred me to a clinic that caused a terrible fall and Dr. Talebi tried to cover himself as well as the clinic that he referred me to. I have since found a new Dr. and would not ever refer him to anyone. He is dishontest. read more

I suffered for a number of years from what was later diagnosed as severe heavy metal poisoning and several other conditions which were causing my body to shut down. I begged for help for three years from Dr. Talebi and was only told it was "in my head." I am done with doctors who refuse to listen and look outside the box, even referring when necessary. If left to Dr. Talebi's vices, I would now be hospitalized or dead. No thank you! read more

Dr. Talebi is an excellent doctor! He is the first doctor I met that gives you all his attention and does not make you feel rushed at all. He will make sure all your questions and concerns are heard. Also, Dr. Talebi's office staff is friendly and helpful and I never had to wait very long before seeing the doctor. read more

Dr. Talebi has been my family's primary care physician for many years. He took over Dr. Gales practice many years ago and I think he is fantastic. He has diagnosed things that are amazing. My wife recently went to Eden Medical Center ER on Saturday in excruciating pain , six hours later they sent her home with some Norco. Sunday she is still in tears form pain and back to the ER six more hours and more Norco still don't know the reason. Monday morning he went to see Dr Talebi and he asked her a few questions and said you have Shingles. He lifted her sweater and her back had a bright strip about eight inches wide covered with blisters going all the way across. When he took over Dr. Gales practice he called me and said I'm Dr. Talebi and I would like to be your Dr. and I said that sounds great. He said he had been going over my records and was wondering if you have leg pains I do and I have been complaining about it for a long time but she never seemed to be concerned. He said stop taking your cholesterol medication immediately and the pain was resolved in a short time. I am seventy eight years old and my file has grown significantly through the years and I wish there were more stars cause I would certainly give them. Cliff Foster read more
