Excellent, caring physician. Very knowledgeable communicator with a great attitude. I am very impressed with his detailed review of my health and his thorough answers to my questions. He is positively focused on improving my health. Kind and attentive staff as well. read more

I feel bad leaving this review only because the PA has been amazing however the front desk staff is the worst. The attitude. The entitlement. Customer service and the convenience or concern for their patients is the last thing these girls care about. But let's talk about Dr. Nikravan himself who I have spoken to for probably three minutes in my last half dozen appointments. All I know is that without knowing much about my situation the first thing he wanted to do was a biopsy a little too aggressive for me as it turns out, I didn't need one, but all in all the reason why I will never return is the lack of common courtesy, and the attitude from the front desk staff. I plan on going to every platform or any website that will allow me to share my experience so that others won't have to go through the constant disrespect that I have had to deal with. read more

Still a con artist and I know for a FACT that the person responding to other reviews is one of the front office. Lady! Humble yourself. When you pull off scams on 2022 about something that happened in 2018, that's not a good look. When you tell patients that you will take care of them and promise that you will use quest for Lab samples and then you decide to do it with your own labs to bill ppl. That's unethical. There's a reason that it's 2026 and yall have 3.5 stars. Do the work and HUMBLE yourself!! read more

Absolute worst practice I've EVER worked with! Every step of the way, we ran in to errors, mistakes and lies, all the while, Dr. Nickravan just wants to go on Instagram and post videos of himself walking in the park and exercising in the driveway of his home. Before my wife and I became patients, their front-line call center is not in their office, it sounds like they're in the Philippines. When they finally decide that you have a valid reason to speak with someone in the office, they put you on hold for a long time while they attempt to transfer you to the actual local office. Super annoying when you just have a quick question! Second issue, their new patient appointments are several months out, and one person would say you're good to go for the appointment, but then another person would say oh no, they're still waiting for your paperwork, even though I sent them the papers months before that (they can't keep track of their papers). Third issue: they kept pushing hard to sell me on using some fancy injector pen for testosterone injections, something like $100 per week (400 a month) and after refusing and arguing with them 3 different times, they finally sent my script to Costco where I get a two month supply of testosterone for $30 (they want the recurring monthly markup on the meds). Fourth issue- Quest last lost my blood work and my labs were not ready in time for my appointment, so when I canceled the appointment, they stood firm that they had to charge me a $100 cancellation fee, even though it was not my fault that Quest lost my labs. I warned them that negative reviews would be forthcoming and they didn't care. So in their greedy pursuit of the $100 cancellation fee, they were willing to lose two patients, my wife and I, and take on negative reviews. That shows how desperate they are for every dollar!! And the fifth issue- every time my wife had an appointment, they would call my cell phone and every time I had an appointment, they would call my wife's cell phone. Their office manager Citlalli tried to lie and say that when my wife filled out her new patient form, she put my cell phone number down, which is absurd, my wife would never do such a thing. When someone asks you for your cell phone number, do you put down your spouse's? And we BOTH made that mistake? Give me a break! With how this practice prioritizes money and profit over its patients, I can only think that Nikravan must have a huge mortgage that he's trying to pay off before he retires! Find a different endocrinologist, there's nothing good about Nikravan and his circus. Thank God I was smart enough not to get sucked in by their expensive concierge service that cost extra money! read more

Posting this review to help others avoid wasting hours on new patient intake documents. This office only accepts Medicare for those who carry secondary insurance. Yet another unfortunate case of front office staff being uninformed of office policies and misinforming potential new patients. Additionally, they will not proceed with scheduling until you complete the substantial intake forms for their "triage" to review for approval. To be clear, we never made it past their absurd triage process, nor did we ever meet the doctor. read more

I have nothing but the highest praise for Dr. Sean Nikravan, PA Tiffany, and the entire front office team. From day one, their professionalism, attentiveness, and dedication to patient care have stood out. I was referred to Dr. Nikravan following a severe thyroid storm last year--a truly terrifying experience. Thanks to his expertise and care, my hyperthyroidism is now under control. In addition, I've been managing two non-cancerous nodules located on my thyroid/vocal cords, which have significantly impacted my speech and swallowing. After careful consultation, I decided to move forward with RFA (radiofrequency ablation) treatment. I had the procedure just yesterday, and I'm genuinely impressed--not only was it quick and minimally invasive, but I experienced no downtime beyond mild soreness. I was able to return to work the very next day. When it comes to healthcare, I want a physician who is confident, highly knowledgeable, and results-driven. That is exactly what you will find with Dr. Nikravan. He is exceptional at what he does and takes great care of his patients. I am truly grateful to be under his care and couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. -Vanessa read more

You are not the ONLY doctor in the state capable of performing an RFA. Newsflash: Google--or better yet, ChatGPT--could be your best friend when it comes to brushing up on your lack of knowledge, if you really insist on staying that ignorant. Let's talk about In-Network insurance. What does that mean? Well, according to the State official I spoke with (after wasting more than six months of my life arguing with the insurance company), WE are not responsible for a single financial claim. That responsibility falls squarely on the hospital, which has to file and fight for the money if they're supposedly "in-network." And yet, somehow, Fara Kovili kept insisting that WE should fight with the insurance company. Brilliant advice, right? This place is, without exaggeration, the shadiest so-called medical facility you could possibly walk into--for advice, surgery, or any kind of procedure. Avoid it. 100%. And now, to top it all off, this guy is claiming that I'm "harassing" him or his business. Really? Funny, considering I haven't called, emailed, or contacted them in any way since the incident. But hey, why let facts get in the way when you can play the victim card? read more

First off,worst experience right from the get go. Dr Nikraven walks in with an arrogant cocky attitude. He then starts out by entering false things about me into his computer. When I try to correct him he kept typing away. I waited months to see Dr Nikraven only to be pond off on his female associate. When I asked her where's Dr Nikraven she said if you want to continue seeing him you'll have to join the concierge program. Wth is a concierge program??? Oh you have to pay this extra $$$$ Then shee doesn't even remember to call in my prescription. I kept checking with my pharmacy and they would tell me for a week she hasn't call in anything. For those of you with thyroid issues know how exhausted and weak you feel without your medication. I called the office and told them about her not calling my medication in and a few more days pass before hearing back from them UGH RIDICULOUS!! They show zero compassion for you. The only person who is professional working that office was a male medical assistant. Worst waste of time seeing Dr Nikraven and his associate ever read more

Thank you so much, Dr. Sean Nikravan, for all of the help you provided with my wife's critical thyroid condition. You are an exceptional healthcare practitioner with professionalism, experience, compassion, humility, and knowledge. You are the master of your craft. Please get in touch with Dr. Sean Nikravan if you need treatment for thyroid-related disorders as soon as possible. Thank you, Dr. Sean. read more

I had my two year check up with Dr Nikrovan, since having my two large nodules successfully treated with RFA.. it saved my thyroid and I have no further issues. I had two large bulges (nodules) in my neck.. and pressure/disconfort. Now I feel great and no more bulges! I am so grateful for this procedure and highly recommend to anyone who is dealing with thyroid nodule issues. Yes, it's expensive and insurance doesn't cover much of the procedure.. but it's worth it and is a wayyyy better option than surgery. Thank you Dr Nikrovan!! read more

I should have read the reviews. . . Clinic: as expected being in Newport Beach, money gauging. They state "insurance might not cover so pay in cash." It's more like won't cover, which they know they won't, because they use codes that are not specific and non-billable. My insurance also said have them use different codes. After 6 months they did not and kept all my money instead of helping me out. Front staff: nice I guess, not their fault the clinic bills you for everything to breathing air in there. Billing: OMG the absolute worst ! Fara is absolutely terrible. This reason alone don't come here. Dr: seems nice but is really more trying to convince you of "necessary" procedures and scare you. Adds bills on bills. . .now a monthly fee for services. Unreasonable. Wow! Overall: find another clinic, not worth the stress and money! read more

Wow! What a way to start with a new doctor. Tried to schedule an appointment and completed almost all of the documents that they require online, except the credit card form they request upfront. Didn't get a callback so I called the office to inquire about an appointment. This was 3 days after I sent in the documents. The office staff insisted that this was the office policy to have my credit card information upfront before an appointment could be scheduled. Just like anything, we have choices, so I will be seeing a different doctor. read more

Zero Stars. Beware! You will not actually get Dr. Nikravan as your Dr. You think you have a appt with him but instead only see his PA. The office staff is incredibly rude and unethical. They will charge your credit card unknowingly to you unauthorized! This practice is a joke. read more

Money gouging. Liked the PA who suddenly left! Now they want concierge money, I only saw the dr once, ( for maybe 5 mins) I am on Medicare, so it was obviously not worth his time to see me... read more

Unfortunately everything is about money with this office now. First 199$ on top of 45$ copay, I call to reschedule my Monday appointment on a Friday, I was told there is a 50$ cancellation charge. I said it's Friday for Monday? responded 48 hours advance business day. Nowhere on your email says that. It's says clearly 48 hours in advance. Maybe you should correct that. I have been a patient for over 2 years, I have only been seen by Doctor Nikravan twice. Once a Year, all other times by the PA who is basically practicing on me, well so does the doctors, right? Sadly Miss the good old days that most doctors worked with their patients and cared actually for them. Sad what this world has come to. I will look for another practitioner like many others that left this office due to staff and doctor who is more like a business owner that shows up once in a while. . read more

I had an unpleasant experience at Dr. Sean Nikravan's office for my initial consultation. I was forced to pay $25 to schedule my appointment (which is fine as long as it's applied towards my copay). However, a front office personnel worker was trying to get me to overpay my copay by not applying my $25 credit until I advised her that I had a receipt. Next, she tried to force me to pay for medical procedures (ultrasound) upfront that I did not agree to until I shot that down. Finally, she forced me to write down my credit card number, and sign it to pre-authorize them to charge later on. When I refused, they contacted the doctor and I was told he would not see me unless I did so. At that point, I was ready to demand a refund and leave, but they convinced me that my card would not be charged without my authorization first because they are not sure how much my insurance will cover. It sounds pretty unethical refusing a paid doctor visit unless I pre-authorize my credit card on file first. Makes me wonder how much he will bill my insurance for a consultation visit. By the way, his policies are insane! If you don't meet your insurance deductible, he will charge you extra until you do on top of charging you for his services. 35 minutes later, a nurse took me in the back office to obtain my vitals. After waiting 75 minutes, the doctor finally met with me for approximately 10 minutes, and he talked very fast which made me feel rushed. An 85 minute consultation is unacceptable, and there's too much emphasis placed on how much money he will charge his patients when he does not value our time as much as his. Too many red flags leads me to believe that he values money more than his patients. Sadly, I valued his advice, but my experience let me to believe that he can't be trusted. I would not recommend this office to anyone. read more

Skip to last paragraph if my story is too long. Long story but I will keep it as short as I can. I came to him around august 2023 for a rfa consultation for papillary thyroid carcinoma. I did 2 biopsies and 2 ultrasounds before coming to Dr Nikravan. Upon our appointment he just storms in the room and ignores me and looks at my ultrasound because the office insisted they do their own ultrasound so I'm like okay. I'll skip all the other details and let's just say we all agreed RFA treatment for my thyroid carcinoma. He also manipulated the situation and we did an additional biopsy and now I paid a total of $800 already. We also agreed to an MRI to see if malignant cells have spread to nearby areas. We all agreed. October 24,2023 I return for our last meeting prior to RFA. I did all the blood work and MRI he asked and they are fine. Actually, it didn't matter because he never bothered to even look at the results. I discussed cost and preparation with his PA Tammy. All is good to go and I asked to see the DR one last time out of curiosity to see him since it's weird I'm not seeing him prior to RFA. He storms in again and looks at my old ultrasound. He says we need a another biopsy at this time I refuse. He said he needs another one to get a benign diagnosis to protect his best interest and that he has a stronger case. I'm like what case? In case I sue him later on should any problems come up. I'm like what the...? He then blabs about I need surgery instead and talks to his microphone as if I'm not in the room. He then storms out of the room and I'm left speechless talking to his 2 staff. He misled me into thinking I'm a candidate for RFA. Then as I refused more biopsies he thought of himself more. He only cares about making money and protecting his own best interest. Your thyroid and health is secondary if it's even in consideration. He's a pro liar and manipulator. Read his past reviews that are negative it's true. As I couldn't sleep that night. I went online and found that other patients of his recently had a thyroid capsule collapse and dr Nikravan did NOT CARE to take care of this individual. He flat out ignored them and stated they were difficult. Takes no responsibility for his action. Also others have complained that their thyroid nodule and carcinoma returned after a few months. This will require more RFA which dr Nikravan probably planned on. Stay away from this doctor as the risk is very high. He has lost his expertise and care. I'm actually glad he refused RFA on me now... if you want pictures of what can go wrong feel free to message me. Due to privacy and legality I cannot post with this review. Edited due to this doctor actually emailing me saying I was defaming him. In reality true statements are not defamatory. I'm surprised a doctor would go out of his way to email me about it. True unprofessional. In reply to dr Nikravan replying to this message is " seriously?" He does not care about patient well being just how he can best extract money and how to protect his business. Read his previous reviews back when he just started. Just read his reply also. Instead of addressing my concern he decides to brag about himself. You want this doctor to rfa your thyroid?? I've had many former patients message me about him recently that their thyroid gained back the size that shrunk. Somebody isn't doing their job correctly.. read more

Dr Nikravan is the top tier Doctor! best endocrinologist! he is very knowledgeable and professional, very responsive to questions via phone and email! i am very happy and satisified with the service provided! read more

0 stars. I gave it one star because the Dr. here was really nice. Fara who takes care of billing is the worst. On July 31st, the office charged me $198 as deductible, even though it was my first visit and I had not yet seen a doctor or been diagnosed. When I checked with the front desk, I was told that the insurance company told them that I have a deductible. I called my insurance company immediately. After I talked with insurance company, I contacted the billing lady and told her there was only a $20 co-pay and no deductible, but she said she could not confirm that there was no deductible. Unfortunately, I did not receive a refund that day. My husband spent a week on this issue and even sending an EOB statement but was told the issue was caused by a misunderstanding by my insurance company and she insisted it was not her fault. Even though she said I shouldn't have been charged the deductible, she went so far as to say that she didn't understand why I'm so angry about $198. It was charged on July 31st and my dead line of credit card was August 4th. I know there is a grace period before payment is due, but I always pay in full for what I spent. After repeated explanations, I finally got a refund of $178, excluding the co-payment. At the time, she said she couldn't refund without confirmation like this time, but she will refund because I'm so angry. There will be no "next time! " I won't come back:) read more

dr is good and that's why the 3 stars. Unfortunately everything else is a nightmare. you now pay $200 up front even if you have good insurance that covers everything. You pay insurance's copay and the clinic's admin fee of $200. staff is awful. hard to communicate and make appointment read more

I've been looking into finding a specialist who can perform RFAs for thyroid nodules, and found Dr. Nikravan. I was concerned with all of the reviews stating the office has significant billing and financial issues, especially after I requested an appointment and received paperwork saying they would have to bill me a consultation fee. So, I decided to call in. After speaking to the office, it's a no-go for me. 1. When I asked about the consultation fee, and whether it would be covered by my co-pay, the woman I spoke to sounded confused (and admitted she was confused), and said: A) They would have to bill me the consulting fee, but if it was covered by my co-pay, they would refund me. What? 2) I asked them to ballpark the process it would take for me to get an RFA, with the understanding that it obviously differs from patient to patient. I'm coming into this appointment with very recent bloodwork, lab work and paperwork, including a recent thyroid biopsy result. She kept saying they would likely have to schedule more labs. Now, I don't MIND extra lab work, since endocrine disorders are tricky. But the way it was phrased just made me concerned it would be additional lab work for no reason. 3) I asked her to clarify how the billing for the RFA procedure would work. Apparently, they ask for cash upfront and THEN they bill your insurance. They will "refund you the difference". What? I've been to a lot of doctors in my time, and I know of very few doctors who bill like this. It seems like a major transparency and documentation issue. The doctor might be talented (and a previous RFA review questions this), but this is a no-go for me. read more

The entire staff is very friendly. Helpful and professional. But I would like to give a special shout out to two people in the office Melissa and Viviana they were great helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I was nervous with a procedure (OK I'm a big baby) they made me feel very comfortable and calm. They spoke of Dr Nikrovan's expertise which made me feel assured and again calm. Dr N was great also explained everything in the procedure and took his time to let me know what's happening. Melissa and Viviana are a great asset to the office. Again all of the staff are great. Keep up the good work! read more

for making a new patient appointment it's almost impossible! I have waisted so much of my time on either holding the phone, left the message and put my number for returning my phone call. read more

After being patient at Dr. Nikravan office for over two years, I am highly disappointed and dissatisfied with Dr. Nikravan and his staff. After Tiffany PA, left this office, has declined in providing adequate ethical service. 1. Now, Dr. Nikravan wants to charge all of his patients an administrative fee of $200 per patient. The receptionists will tell you to pay by March 1, 2024, or no service. 2. Prior to Tiffany PA resigning for unknown reasons, she submitted a referral for a prescription to be filled. I called to follow up in mid-February, and one of the front desk receptionists stated that my insurance was still processing my medication request. 3. On March 1, 2024, I called the office to follow up and spoke to a male receptionist, only to be told that the office had NOT submitted my prescription and that they needed a copy of my insurance card. Lack of common sense, lack of professionalism, poor medical practice overall. 4. Question: If my information was needed back in February, why didn't this office call me to obtain a copy of my insurance card???? And why didn't the female receptionist tell me when I called in February this? 5. Once an office fails to provide ethical and professional service to its patients, it's time to walk away and locate another Dr who takes accountability for his or her office to include their staff. This office gets a ZERO rating. Unfortunately, I had to put a star in order to post a review. This office does not deserve anything. Overall, poor practice, money gouging patience, and failure of patient follow through. read more

Stopped seeing Dr.N many years ago when he decided to charge a concierge fee. Don't get me wrong - The doctor is good, as I was driving over 40 miles to see him every 4-5 months. Anyway, I'm no longer a patient but out of the blue I get an email about subscribing to his YouTube channel. Is this what he prefers to do in his time? Posting videos rather than serving patients? It's sad how doctors visits are no longer the ones in the past. It's all about marketing and money. read more

No no just avoid I was optimistic even after reading some of the reviews. But unfortunately the reviews are all true. This office ONLY cares about their financial gain-- won't treat or see you if you owe them even 5$. So extremely unprofessional, avoid this office by all costs (literally). I paid a bill and the nurse tried to charge me again after I had told her I paid it, she had to "verify" with billing. You mean me showing you the invoice has been paid on my iPhone wasn't good enough? Ok. Then refuses to see me if I don't fill out their CC authorization form. Completely unprofessional clearly don't care about my health had to mention several times that I had nodules and I asked specifically for an ultrasound which they refused because the doctor preferred to see me on a different date.just avoid them. read more

I'm very impressed with Dr Nikravan and his whole team- very easy to set up appointments and get in touch with office- they all made my visit very informative and easy to understand- I would recommend very highly read more

Horrible service. No one answered the phones after waiting on hold for 26 minutes (multiple calls) No one calls back to confirm receipt of medical records. The only thing they seem competent in is collecting fees ... before you've even seen the doctor as a new patient. They emailed me 15 times for consent forms, which were already completed. Took consult fee before allowing to book appt. After all this .. I received a text the night before my appt. Which said if I don't fill out required consent forms then they can't move forward with my appointment. So I Cancelled my new patient appointment and did not see this doctor. read more

Please disregard the negative reviews; they're far from the truth. I've been to many endocrinologists--I've had a prolactinoma for over close to 15 years. Recently, I found Dr. Nikravan and after multiple visits, I can confidently say that he is a top tier doctor. He makes it a priority to see you, provide quality care, and puts the longevity of your health and quality of life first. He recommended a treatment plan and through its careful execution--I am graced with a clean bill of health and tumor free. I'm grateful for his expertise, his very competent and friendly staff, and most of all the clean bill of heath he's worked tirelessly to give me. read more

Dr. Nikravan is just the nicest doctor you could meet. I was referred to him because of high cortisol levels. He was super thorough, making sure he understood what I experienced in the way of symptoms and would patiently answer questions and explain to make sure my husband and I understood. The offices are nice. Parking sometimes suck, but show me a doctor's office where that isn't the case... read more

I think the MDs at this facility have lost their way. Only if you pay a concierge price of 3400.00 a year can you actually see a MD. You can see a NP who cannot really answer your questions for an additional 200 per year and this is all with still using your insurance. Of course they don't tell you this until after you have been seeing them for a few visits. Nor do they tell you that your billing is on the portal until you are overdue then they reach out to you by email to notify you that you are late! Then they cancel minutes before your appointment because you are late on your payment even though you are trying to figure out their billing process because you just found out you are late!! They have no office manager so there is no one to talk to about this only the billing department that doesn't know what is going on. The billing dept assumes you are going to pay your bill by credit card so they tack on an extra fee before they even know how you are going to pay!!! It is such a poorly ran office. So glad I am out of there.. read more

I booked an appointment for 4:30pm online with Dr. Nikravan. I drove a distance to get there and when I stopped to get food nearby, I called to ask a question but found out that they no longer use their online booking feature even though its listed right on their website. So, I had no appointment. Not only this, but they are booked out a month and do not even offer appointments at 4:30pm. For someone who had cancer and has fertility issues, I take these appointments very seriously. I'm disappointed with this office. read more

Dont be taken advantage of: This is regards to more the office lack of service and taken advantage of for payment than it is about the Dr. ability. I had a referral to check on adrenal glands. I specifically told the office this is only for adrenals and only to obtain some form of imaging to confirm there were no nodules/tumors. I was specifically told that I can come down for an ultrasound. I took off work had to get a driver b/c my adrenal energy is very low. They quickly took my payment of $350 , i sent them labs i already compelted and already know what they say and i repeated told lthem i'm only here for an ultrasound - i was not looking for any opinion on my labs. I was then informed they do not do adrenal/abdominal ultrasound (which was disappointing being i was told that was what i wwas coming down for. They offered me a generic script to get one another place - fine. Then i asked for a refund or at least a 50% refund being the service i was there for was never provided. I then rec'd an extensive email saying they had done a thorough investigation on my profile and they would not be refunding anything. First off this is a scam b/c i had an appt for an ultrasound (adrenal as per my referral) and that was not provided. Second, as a health professional and in business over 20 years there is a clear difference between a conversation and a thorough comprehensive review of a patients information and a program. I will state that the Dr. briefly came in re-instating they dont do adrenal ultrasound - i appreicate that but i should not have been charged for something that was offered and not provided. I'm sorry I have to write this but its important. $350 is a lot of money not only the extensive time and taking off work. I would have gladly agreed to a 50% refund - they wyould not budge read more

I am extremely disappointed with this doctor and do not recommend this place at all. I've been dying to find a good doctor for a long time since moving to OC and it looks like I'll have to look again. Their PA Julie is amazing and honestly worth going to but the front desk, lab staff and absent doctor are not worth it at all. I went to get labs done as I do and I was told they can't give me the results or new meds until I make an appointment just to be told the results. I have been a patient for a few months and this was a routine check but even more important bc I gave birth three weeks ago so my meds were off. The front desk dissed my urgent request to get meds updated and the doctor emailed me saying from now on I must come in to get my results just to be told my new meds. It seems like all they care about is billing insurance to make money and do not care at all about actual patient care. I've asked for my Files and will go elsewhere even at the cost of my health for another few weeks. read more

Dr, Nikravan is outstanding. I have several family members that I have recommended to him all of which are very pleased with their medical care. I have been a patient of Dr. Nikravan for over 2 decades and I know him very well. I highly recommend Dr. Nikravan. Delia C. read more

The Doctor and his team show no interest in obtaining new patient. Their website has a link to set up appointment but they do a half ass job to use it correctly. When they answer you first you think u have an appointment and the staff doesn't respond back to u to say yes or no. The Doctor seems like has a bipolar personality and need to treat himself to care for patients. I don't care if he is good or bad... his office was empty telling me to my face in his office, he is too busy. Obviously he has never worked in a hospital during corona or cares enough not to waste people time when they drive from LA , take time off from work to see him and the staff made an incorrect follow up I don't recommend him. read more

I was going to this doctor for almost two years only saw him once, they switched doctors on us without notifying. The blood labs taken in house was outsourced to a outside Laboratory.The lab charges are egregiously over priced. which leaves us up to this point in March 1st. they forced bs administrative fees so basically my wife is now out of medication unless we pay. felt like a shake down honestly .unfortunately we are going to have to start all over now with a new doctor. read more

This doctor is one of the worst doctors I have ever visited in my life and that says a lot. He overcharges on everything and tries VERY hard to milk more money off of you. Despite having all bloodwork done he wants to do the same bloodwork AGAIN so he can charge you $300 for it. He tries to drag an additional visit from you by having you come again next time and another next time so that each visit is $150 along with the same bloodwork again. Not to mention he is incredibly unprofessional as he walks into the room and doesn't even greet you the first time. Anyone who has an ounce of humanity or good bed side manners would at least say "hi how are you" "I'm dr so and so". Well, no not this doctor he pretends you aren't in the room and just looks at your ultrasound. Oh yeah ultrasound is $300 also. Price for thyroid ablation? An astounding $7000 and going up. Spoke with his staff prior to meeting him and it was $6000. Forget, the price gouging if you resist his extra bloodwork requests he won't do ablation for you. I was told by some of his former patients that he deliberately won't just do one RFA treatment because guess what he wants to do several of them. $7000 x3: $21000. Last but not least, after RFA some patients experience a regrowth of the thyroid nodule because well guess what it didn't work the first 3 times. Look elsewhere please! There are other doctors I have found. I cannot name but do a search in New York and Louisiana. They can do it right the first time. There are also others in California but stay away from this Dr N. You have been warned and look at other reviews also. Don't say we didn't warn you. read more

Very professional and thorough. Very happy with the progress. Look forward to seeing more.

I hadn't considered HIPPA rules but Dr Nikravan has my permission to repost his original response.
