Dr. Rashtian wants many, many tests even after he has diagnosed you with a heart condition. It's ridiculous how many test he has had me do. I don't mind doing an echocardiogram in his office, but taking home heart patches that are read by a cell phone is waaaay too many tests. Even the assistant mentioned his other patients also find it annoying he wants his patients to have more and more tests! Guess he is writing up some kind of medical report on the importance of tests that measure the electrical activity in hearts. I'm not a guinea pig. read more

When you have to be forewarned by the medical assistant about the doctor's lack of bedside manner, that's a huge red flag.. If you want a doctor who doesn't take the time to listen nor explain treatment or medication options....who expects you to obey him without question and follow his cookie-cutter treatment plan which doesn't consider your unique needs.....this is your guy! He is BEYOND horrible. Do not put your life in his hands. read more

Run Forrest Run! There is a deficit in communications with the attending physician and this deficit is evident in medical assistants responding to patient query, test results, and request for guidance, follow up and physician directives.The Patient Portal does not reflect updated results without repeated prompts and I was only able to secure communications through the office manager, receiving no response on the portal. The front desk personnel are unpleasant, loud and quarrelsome and fail to keep conversations at personal volume to ensure confidentiality. My attending physician was Dr. Conrad, a seasoned cardiologist certainly proficient in the advancement of cardiac electrophysiology. I was referred to Dr. Mayer Rashtian without notice, who is allegedly the "specialist" of the group, and that experience was beyond disturbing. Dr. Rashtian parades around the office rolling a large rickety computer cart barely making it through the exam room doors, failed to lift a stethoscope or examine me as the patient, before prescribing a black-box warning medication. Dr. Rashtian was more concerned that the assistant ensure that I was signed onto his study group for the prescribed drug on my phone rather than give instructions or possible side effects to watch out for. Dr. Rashtian prescribed XARELTO without examining me, or supporting his own diagnosis, testing and basis for this drug. The compensation is below. I transferred all of my records immediately to a new cardiologist who secured detailed testing and careful patient care plan that showed no evidence or need for a black-bordered box medication because of serious risks associated with the drug. CareDash has posted the following information: Total Payments Received Between 2014 and 2018. Dr. Conrad received more money than a majority (98%) of internists nationally. Public records indicate that Dr. Conrad received $71,638 in payments from medical companies between 2014 and 2018, which is more than a majority of internists nationally. Total Payments Received Between 2014 and 2018 Dr. Rashtian received more money than a majority (94%) of cardiac electrophysiologists nationally. Dr. Rashtian has received a notably large amount of money from medical companies. Payments Received: $251,762 Janssen: $103,035 $103,010: XARELTO $25: INVOKANA E.R.

Simply ignore any negative reviews about this doctor. Rather, he is a consummate surgeon and cardiologist, and a caring and kind practitioner. I have been his patient for over 12 years and through two implant operations, plus electrocaridio testing (not fun), and have found him to be a world-class doctor. His electro-cardio surgical skills are almost beyond belief in their subtlety and precision. He has a good sense of humor and is ALWAYS available to his patients, in person, by phone, or by email. You are literally in great hands with him. I have no compunctions about recommending him unconditionally, and feel very, very lucky to have him as my cardiologist, and I trust him with my life. read more

Dr. Rashtian is a good cardiologist. He listens and asks questions. However, the reason for my 3 star rating is the amount of time I had to wait today to see him. I made my appointment 6 months ago and usually I'm in within 15 minutes. Not today. I've been waiting for 55 minutes so far and was told there's still someone ahead of me. I parked on the street where I only have 1 hour, so I need to leave whether I see the doctor or not. And it looks like I'll be leaving without seeing him today. I wish doctors knew how to schedule patients so that this doesn't happen. read more

Dr. Rashtian is a remarkable Cardiologist - very serious when it comes to your heart health, and also so kind. He is invested in preventative medicine as well as using the absolute latest technologies. Measured when it comes to Pharma, seeks solutions from many sources. I'm so glad he looks after my Mom's heart! read more

I have to respond to these "rants" about Doctor Rashtian. It is amazing how short sighted people can be when they absorb the world around them. Dr. Rashtian gives you all the time you need to ask as many questions as you would like. He answers you in a concise, confident and direct manner. DO NOT confuse this with "brash". He does not give you the many reasons that fly through his mind as he processes the endless variables in his head in a split second in order to give you the best answer your question. It's not necessary for you to know his train of thought......and even less necessary for him to share it with you. He gives you a synopsis of his many years in the practice each time he responds to your inquiries or gives his opinion as it relates to your individual care. That is why you come to him. He's one of the best, if not the best, in his field. He is a good, kind man. I found him to be compassionate and understanding. If you feel you aren't getting something warm and fuzzy from him, perhaps you should look at what you are putting out there? The fact that during consultation he doesn't stroke your brow or hold your hand as he speaks shouldn't send you running out into the forest!? But if you are looking for someone to give you the very best advice about your heart, and how to treat whatever ails you, and how you can move forward in a healthy way......look no further. I promise you that you will not be disappointed. After speaking with many people about my procedure (ablation) I had heard several stories that were less than comforting about excessive bleeding, bruising, etc. My experience was without incident. That is a complete testament to his excellence towards his craft. You can't measure that with an etiquette handbook. Keep your eye on the prize....remember what you came for. Experience, expertise and execution. You don't ask the eye doctor to tell you how he knows you need one type or another of prescription. You don't ask your oncologist how he knows what kind of cancer you have or how he knows what type of treatment you should receive. You trust in his/her abilities. Why is this doctor held to a different standard? Dr. Rashtian gave me a second chance at living a long, full life. And he did it without me holding his hand, or stroking his brow............... read more

I didn't appreciate Dr Rastian until he performed a catheter ablation on me a couple years ago. Now, of all my doctors, he is the one i really don't ever want to lose. He may not have the best bedside manners, bur when you need to contact him, he always returns calls right away and is really a genius at what he does. When i was to be admitted for observation, they couldn't reach my regular doctor at all, but Dr Rastian returned the hospital's calls right away so I could be admitted. He is kind and thoughtful once he gets to know you. I can't say enough good things about him. read more

When one goes to a doctor for any sort of heart problem, we are scared,anxious and vulnerable. When one goes to a doctor, one expects to be treated with respect and dignity. We also want information about what will be done during any procedure, a follow up on that day regarding how the procedure went, and what to expect next. Rashtian fails on all counts. He is rude, rushed and impatient with any questions. OK I had a successful ablation procedure with him. But I am more than just a procedure. Being a doctor involves more that just good mechanics. I hope to never see him again, and would never send anyone to him, ever. There are many cardiologists out there who are just as skilled and also treat patients like human beings. If you want to be treated like a robot who just needs an oil change, he's your guy. Otherwise, shop around! read more

Couldn't disagree more with previous reviews on Dr. Rashtian, The man is trying to prolong our lives. ( and yes by whatever medication/procedures necessary). I've been a patience of his for over 2 years and have nothing but praise for this man. Yes it hasn't been easy but again it shouldnt be...its your heart. If your not happy with his services find someone else plain and simple, no need to criticize or put him down. Dr Rashtian is trying to save lives, how honorable/noble is that. and bedside manners....... hes not your mother hes a doctor.............would a quicker death be suitable for you complainers....get a (longer) life Charles E read more

Dr. Rashtian is a skilled cardiologist, however, his bedside manner needs a great deal of polish. I would not recommend him to friend or foe for that reason. He needs to take some classes that would help him with treating the whole patient as well as their family. Buyer, be ware. read more
