She is the worst doctor she knows nothing I had severe heart condition she did not even listen to my heart just wanted my money. I am in the process of preparing a law suite my lawyer will subpoena her very soon. read more

I have seen Dr. Kohani for a number of years. She is my PCP and I've also had beauty treatments at her office. She is the best doctor I have had in my life. She listens, understands your history, and treats you like you are a member of her family. I cannot recommend her enough. She's literally been a life saver. Her staff is also very good and make you feel comfortable and at ease. I actually enjoy going to the doctor! Ha! I could not be happier with the service and level of care I receive from Dr. Kohani and her staff. I highly recommend for anyone looking for top care and a stellar team. Thank you, Dr. Kohani, Regina and Tina! read more

I started seeing Dr. Kohani when I turned 33. I see her for everything from head to toe. I trust her to look at each concern from every aspect. A few years ago I was feeling tired and depressed. In the past I had seen many specialists. It was Dr.Kohani who discovered that some of my hormone levels were extremely low and was able to address them right there in the office. Within a couple of weeks I felt much better. Over the last 12 years Dr.kohani and her aesthetician, Tina, have been committed to helping me put my best face forward by keeping what I have without making me look like I've actually had anything done at all. The therapies have been gently slowing the fine lines... Revivamed is definitely 5 stars! read more

Referred by a colleague, I Went to Dr Kohanis office for annual exam. When asked if I had health concerns, I foolishly asked questions about allergies I had and was billed for not only the exam but for medical visit ( for the medical discussion). Dr ordered blood work and then after a week without follow up, I called to enquire and assistant said due to no irregularities they did not feel need to notify me. Couple months later, still suffering same symptoms, I returned back and dr order more blood work. This time, test came back with more information regarding environmental allergies. Billed for medical diagnosis and medical visit AND never received any follow up. After visiting a different doctor I now FINALLY have been properly diagnosed and a treatment plan has been put into place. This is how doctors should treat their patients... with actual care not just with bills in the mail. read more

I have been to several primary care doctors since moving to San Diego in 2011, and Dr. Kohani is the best in my book! I find her to be a very knowledgeable and caring doctor. She has a calming presence, which in my case is important since routine physicals kick up my inner hypochondriac! Her staff has always been very helpful as it relates to appointment scheduling, followup, and prescription filling. 5 stars! read more

I was referred here by a good friend. Her exact words where "I LOVE the doctor but the front desk staff makes me want to find a new doctor". She has had several instances where the front desk did not act professional. They refuse to change her name in their system from when she got married so picking up a prescription is impossible. She also found a lump in her breast and they couldn't get her in for over a month! I called to see this doctor because I was having pain and blood when going to the bathroom. The girl I spoke to said she didn't know how to make an appointment and she would have someone call me the next day to schedule. Two days went by with no word so I called them back and they said the doctor had my information but she was refusing to see me because it sounds like I have "underlying issues". I then asked if I could get a basic physical to check my over all health. Nope. She was going to refer me elsewhere. I have yet to get that referral and that was 5 days ago! I found a new doctor and they were booked about a month out but when I told them my symptoms they squeezed me immediately because blood while using the bathroom is actually pretty serious! How do you work in a medical office and not know that?! The staff here does not put you or your medical needs first. Go somewhere else if you want to get taken care of. read more

I have always been a healthy, active and FUN lady to be around... until I reached 47 yrs old. Not only did my body start to change( and not for the better) but my whole outlook on my life as well. I did tons of reading and research on menopause and how it can affect our quality of life. This persuit lead me to Dr Kohani and her team in La Jolla and Downtown San Diego. After our first meeting, we had a 'plan of attack' on reclaiming my health, fitness and self. Within weeks I was feeling and sleeping bettter, the weight came off and the muscles came back! Now 5 months later... I am training for a Triathlon and keeping up with the 'younger' athletes! I have my LIFE back! I would deeply recommend Dr Kohani and her staff. She has a caring and personal way to her practice that makes all the difference. Thank You, Dr Kohani for "healing" my body, mind and spirit..you are a blessing! read more

Dr. Kohani has been my primary care physician for over 10+ years and I give her my highest recommendation. She is very bright, well trained in both western and integrative/holistic medicine and has a very compassionate and caring bedside manor. Since coming to her, I have been able to eliminate weekly migraines and reduce my cholesterol naturally as well as improve my overall health. In addition, her staff is helpful and professional. I come from a family of physicians and she is one of the best! read more

In response to the negative comment below, I'm sorry you had that experience, but I have been a patient of Dr. Kohani's for the past six months and have found her to be very caring and communicative, either by directly calling me to discuss lab results or messages through her assistants. And while her assistants are not nurses, they have the same loving, caring approach as most great nurses I've had the pleasure of being treated by. I like that Dr. Kohani is a Harvard trained MD but that she also has a holistic side of her practice. I think the combination of the two is very rare in the medical world and what a gem to find her open to both practices. Like any doctor, you should go and meet with them and see if they are a good fit for you before choosing them to treat you. read more

When I came to UCSD, I, like many other newly realized adults, understood that I would have to schedule my own doctor appointments (as much as I didn't want to). Scouring the Internet to find a good doctor who took bluecross/blue shield I found Doctor Kohani and scheduled an appointment. Four years later she's still my doctor, and I have not once regretted my choice. She's the nicest and most personable doctor I've ever had. Each time I had a check up she's made me feel like I've mattered, not just as a patient, but as a person. She remembers my name and even little things like what was going on in school last time I spoke with her and plans that I had. She is very easy to get along with, and make sure you are comfortable. As someone who is relatively healthy I've never had any major health needs, but for the things I did need checked, she was always upfront of all the medical options available and explained each thing in detail. In terms of appointments I've never had to wait more than a few days to see her. She is prompt and understands your time is valuable too and never rushes you. Before I got a car, I took the bus from campus which only took about fifteen minutes so this would be a good choice for other UCSD students. Her staff at the front desk are nice as well, and professional. They always greet me and are quick to make sure I was taken care of before heading to Kohani's office. Dr. Kohani is the best! read more

Dr Kohani was referred to me by a friend has been our primary care physician for the past 9 years. Using a blend of Eastern and Western approach to medicine, she has been able to find quick fixes to my random issues over the years and provide solid advice on best practices related to overall well being. We are so grateful to be under the care of such a competent and kind doctor! read more

I found Dr. Roya Kohani through a random search on the internet and what a find she is! Even though I was there for just an annual physical, I had a fall few months before my first visit to her. Through her thorough neurological examination and concerned questioning she concluded I needed a MRA that literally saved my life! She is very easy to talk to, very caring and does not prescribe unnecessary medications if healthier alternatives are available. I really like that natural, alternative less aggressive approach. That was one of the main reasons in choosing her. I have been recommending her to all my friends! read more

Dr Kohaniis the best! I have been seeing her for about 6 years now, she uses a combined East/West approach and really approaches me as a subject matter expert in my own health ensuring that I am solely responsible for it, which is the approach that I absolutely require! read more

I was diagnosed with Hoshimoto's disease a number of years back, I had seen many doctors over the years, but my search ended when I found Dr. Kohani. She has been a Godsend, she has a lovely compassionate demeanor and she is always incredibly professional and thorough with her assessment of my health issues. I appreciate the combination of her traditional/holistic approach to attaining a high level of ones overall wellbeing. I am a self pay patient and she always tries to keep my out of pocket cost to a minimum. I'm so grateful that I have found such a wonderful doctor and I plan to see her for many years to come! read more

Dr Kohani is an excellent doctor. She is always helpful and accommodates my busy work schedule, even coming In on short notice and in her own time! The office staff is polite and efficient! read more

As a loyal 16 year patient of Dr. Kohani and her team, I couldn't recommend her highly enough! If what you seek is a genuinely warm, caring, highly intelligent physician who is brilliantly qualified in both Western and Integrative methods, look no further. I have been fortunate to find her! She has helped me through the maze of hormone therapy following a complete hysterectomy, the challenges of health following a cancer diagnosis, and the ongoing wellness and balance we all seek for optimal health. I have been so impressed with her and the staff, that I have successfully referred several nurses to her practice. Notoriously selective, nurses are a physician's best reference. Her wisdom and caring speak for themselves and I give her my highest recommendation. She embodies the definition of healer, in all its forms. I couldn't have made it through a very upsetting divorce without her and I am thankful for the gift that she is. One word about the solitary negative comment here...clearly this man is in need of therapy. I find his obsession with the appearance of the staff both alarming and inappropriate. As a woman who regularly visits Dr Kohani, I join others who are frankly relieved that this "gentleman" has taken his agenda elsewhere. Dr. Kohani's approach, practice and staff are beyond reproach. read more

If you're looking for a great doctor, look no further than Dr. Kohani. She takes a scientific, thorough, holistic approach to healthcare. She's incredibly bright and totally up to date on the latest in supplements and pharmaceuticals - but she won't make a move without real data from a complete blood test. This is the practice of medicine taken to the highest degree. Dr. Kohani and her staff are polite, always on time (which is unbelievable in itself) and never seem to rush. Her bedside manner is warm yet professional. Anytime I go in for an appointment, I feel cared for and special. I give Dr. Kohani my very highest recommendation. read more

Dr Kohani has been my doctor for the last 10 years. I could not say enough nice things about her and the front office staff. She has seen my husband and son also. We all find her completely professional and attentive to our every need. I like the fact that she does not prescribe medicines if they are not needed. She tries to find ways thru supplements and nutrition but will prescribe something if she thinks it is necessary. I completely trust her judgement and find her extremely knowledgeable. I read some of the negative reviews and I can't imagine them to be truthful. I think they have more to do with the people writing them. read more

Dr. Kohani truly found her calling of life.......A true scientist of compassion and pro-activity for the well being of her patient in true " Juxtapose " form !!! I have been a a patient of Dr. Kohani for less than a year , though searching for a scientist of her caliber of thinking for 10 years... I began to experience peri-menipause very early on in late 30s. Weight gain , terrible night sweats , and fluid retention to where my knees were balloons...Other Dr's ran basic lab work and told me I was fine....could'nt be further from the truth !!! My OBG prescribed bio-identical hormone cream but was not very savy on amounts as well as combinations. There was a slight relief but not to my satisfaction. Till I was refered to Dr.Kohani by the my pharmacist....what a gift !! Within one month of my initial visit with Dr. Kohani , she adjusted bio-identical hormone cream, and with the sense of clarity back ....all night sweats disappeared ,dropped 13 pounds without trying ( in six weeks ) all that fluid retention gone , complete energy level at full steam ALL DAY LONG , and total focus and concentration..no more fogginess . Dr.Kohani has been truly gifted by her scientific knowledge , continuing research ,and the humanity of compassion for her individual patient. When you visit with Dr. Kohani , you will feel a door was opened for you with answers. read more

Very happy! Dr Kohani is extremely thorough and willing to use diet to improve health over pills. Highly recommended.

Dr. Roya Kohani is a Gift to La Jolla & San Diego! I am so very impressed with her knowledge & professionalism! And she is a kind, caring doctor when a patient is in distress. She did wonders for me physically & mentally! She also does great work with men as they age & experience low T levels. read more

I've been going to Dr. Kohani for many years and she is always professional, is up to date on my history, always has answers to any questions and will consider supplements as well as pharmaceuticals. In short she is what I think of as the ultimate doctor. Well versed in so many modalities and protocols and always offering scientifically based solutions based on blood test results. Tina, who is her right hand is also fantastic. Polite, warm, intelligent with a great bedside manner. Highest recommendation if you are looking for a doctor who thinks outside the box and always has your best health in mind. read more

I have been going to Dr. Kohani for years and will continue to do so. She advised me to do the 21 day cleanse and I have been doing it once a year since. It's a wonderful way to start off the year. And it sets the tone for the rest of the year. My sister-in-law and I set a date in January and encourage each other. Lost 10 pounds and sleep much better. Dr. Kohani has a wonderful manner and I would highly recommend her. read more

Dr. Kohani is the absolute best. She is extremely smart, caring, informative and brilliant. She listens to all of your needs and digs deeper into any issues than any doctor I know! She uses a combination of Eastern/Western medicine and has truly solved so many of my problems. I would recommend her to any person as she is just the best! She's solved some of my tough health issues and I've never felt better! She has given me some of the best tips for living with a chronic disease and despite living in Los Angeles, I still make the trip to come down and see her practice. Tina at the front desk is also very organized and informed and always has a smile on her face! Love this practice! read more

I simply can't get past the fact that she refused to wash her hands--especially after I asked. As a patient, I believe that I reserve the right to make that request, and then to have that request followed through. I have been to several other doctors, and have never been rebuffed for making that request. read more

Roya Kohani is more than a physician. She is warm, caring, and very personal. She is extremely knowledgeable about anything related to medicine. She is well respected in the medical community and admired by everyone that knows her. I am so fortunate to have her as my Doctor and friend. It is so comforting to know that someone cares when they are treating you. This is rare to find today! read more

She is wonderful and patient- couldn't ask for a better physician. I felt well taken care of and wasn't afraid to voice my concerns- this woman is brilliant- strongly recommend her- read more

Dr. Kohani is excellent at understanding your concerns and helping you come to a good solution that works for you. I felt very comfortable with her and her staff. The ladies at the front are very helpful and are excellent at working with you in order to handle your questions and all the paperwork at the front. Everyone on staff is very knowledgeable and customer service oriented. I absolutely recommend her practice to anyone looking for a new doctor. read more

DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR!!! The staff is unprofessional and unorganized. They can't seem to work with the pharmacies to get the prescriptions filled and blame the pharmacies saying the pharmacy didn't call or that Dr Kohani's office didn't receive the fax etc. They blame the pharmacy but after many calls to both the pharmacy & Dr Kohani's office it becomes clear who has dropped the ball & on multiple occasions. Also, Dr Kohani is very difficult to get ahold of and the office staff won't pass on a message to have her call. I begged Tina to please have DR Kohani contact me and she refused. I emailed and never received a reply. I finally saw another doctor and when I did was told that my dosage from Dr Kohani was not correct and explained many of my issues even though I had just visited her and had lab work done. Dr Kohani also schedules unnecessary appointment as a way to increase her fees. She is also very defensive when questioned. Overall, not worth the money or aggravation. read more

I had been interested in doing hormone replacement as a result of two of my friends my age that had great things to say about it. Both friends were working with their regular physicians. I looked online for hormone replacement in San Diego and found Dr. Kohani listed with a very impressive set of credentials. First thing that got my attention was the cost to see her, $350 for initial consult. Next was lab fee $650. Her office is nestled into a lovely area in downtown La Jolla, and when you arrive for the first time the beautiful young ladies that work for her are very impressive. They look more like models than medical personnel and are extremely friendly and charming as is Dr Kohani. She is an absolutely beautiful and charming woman!! However, I wasn't their to admire beautiful women, but instead for medical treatment and direction. After becoming a client/patient I quickly learned that it was nearly impossible to get information to her, or from her, through her lovely assistants who are just that. Not nurses or possessing any medical background whatsoever. Just very lovely young ladies. Dr. Kohani does not, under any circumstances, make or return phone calls to patients or other physicians. All calls are handled exclusively by the lovely office beauties who literally read prepared statements from their computers. In that they aren't nurses or medically trained in any way, they usually don't understand the content of what they are reading. Nor do they understand any medical questions you may have. And if you have another physician that needs to consult with Dr. Kohani, the same MO applies. All info is passed through the office beauties. As frustrated as I became trying to communicate with them, my other doctor's office was pulling their hair out trying to get info through those lovely young ladies. Now I see a regular MD for the very same treatment at less than half the price and none of the mishaps with his office personnel who are registered nurses and are familiar and knowledgeable with the dialog they engage in. My questions are answered in one call or at the very least the same day. His labs are also less than half of what Dr. Kohani's were from the same lab. I'm not at all sorry I started hormone replacement and recommend it highly if you're 50ish and feeling slow. But unless you're looking for some very expensive eye candy in a very expensive and elegant setting, I would seek this kind of treatment elsewhere. It is becoming very common and many MDs now offer this same treatment at a fraction of the price without the hassle. read more

Went to Dr. Kohani's office for some gastrointestinal issues and did not have a good experience in any part of the process. First, making the appointment was difficult as it was nearly impossible to talk to a person on the phone (lots of holding). Second, I made the appointment and then the office called three times to reschedule the time, often with notice of only 24 hours. Because I have a child at home and was coordinating child-care, this was extremely inconvenient. Finally, at the appointment the medical assistant did not have good people skills and came off as rude as she was explaining billing. Dr. Kohani herself was fine and knowledgeable, but not a good fit for me. It seemed that the main focus of the office is cosmetic procedures and caters to a wealthy, older crowd. If you are going for those reasons, I'm sure it's a great place, but for general internal medicine, I think there are probably better options that are more medically focused and would provide better all-around care. I won't be returning for a follow-up. read more
