Syed W Bokhari, MD Facc - Cardiologists Near Me - Riverside, California

Thank you for your excellent care. My heart care is in good hands. From the physician to the office staff. I suffered two heart attacks, my physician missed all the signs. God has me . Dr Bahkari Sayed, is now my cardiologist and caring for the progress of recovering from two heart attacks and two stents that were inserted on Dec 2024 and in May 2025. Confident that under his care I am now in track of a good recovery. Thank you, Eldah Le 9/9/25 read more

My experience was nothing short of unprofessional from the start. Let's with the front office and scheduling staff. If didn't follow up myself nothing would've happened. Tests prescribe that were unnecessary and after a cardiac ct scan the scheduler Danni never setup a follow up visit to review the results. Absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable. I finally went to the office and they made an appointment and apologized. Today I received a call from Bokhari's informing me they no longer accept my insurance. Unless you ok with making frequent calls to get updates and follow you should seriously look for another cardiologist. read more

This place is fraudulent. I need to addressed this to the doctor The doctor was great. i've been two months. I'm waiting for my refund. his staff and manager are dishonest. I was robbed and had to contact my insurance multiple times. The manager promised to refund my money but didn't. I am owed $80 as I was overcharged by $60 for two consultations. I am still waiting for my deposit. My insurance said I was only required to pay $20 out of pocket for each consultation, not 60. You can email me and you will find my phone number through my email. We have recorders how many time my insurance had contacted your office. read more

Dr. Bokhari and his staff are very friendly and caring. He treated my dad with the care and consideration he deserves. We have had a great experience with all who took the time to evaluate my dad's condition and successfully completed a TAVR procedure. Thank you read more

Dr Syed bokhari who is located in riverside California is a very rude man unprofessional not compassionate at all for his patients or their family poor character two weeks to talk to him about open heart surgery and to find out what is the next plan to get no answers highly DO NOT recommend, people like him do not belong in the medical field I read about your back story what inspired you to become a cardiovascular Dr Mabe take a look back when you was 8 and Mabe you will become thankful and considerate for your patients to hear them out and will become a better Dr you definitely need improvement you might be good at your profession but you lack compassion and character which drives your abilities in the ground read more

Well, I'm home from Riverside Community Hospital a bit sore but ALIVE! Not long ago I posted a message about an amazing man, he is Dr. Syed Bokhari and he is my cardiologist. For many of you who are fortunate and very blessed not to need a cardiologist, you can't understand fully how important a good one is, Thousands of friends and relatives die every year from Heart Disease and Heart Failure, A "HEART ATTACK" and that is heartbreaking. Recently my Primary, Dr. Knopke was doing a routine exam on me and told me that I had a heart murmur. About 4 or 5 years ago Dr. Bokhari had to insert a stent into one of my arteries and it was very successful, knowing that Dr. Knopke advised me to see Dr. Bokhari as soon as possible so I did, and after several tests, I was back at Riverside Community Hospital today for my second heart procedure. The results, Dr. Bokhari confirmed that there is an issue with my Aortic Valve which will require an additional procedure down the road. A word of advice, I had no idea that I had an issue with my Aortic Valve, NO PAIN, NO SIGNS, just a heart problem that left unattended could made me a statistic. Make sure you don't make the same mistake so many do, even if you think it is NO BIG DEAL, shortness of breath, or a slight pain in your chest even if it happens infrequently it may be a sign GET IT CHECKED. If you have a heart concern and want to be put at ease call Dr. Syed Bokhari's office at 951-649-0229 and when you see Dr. Bokhari tell him Greg Manos sent you! LOL read more

I was referred to see this doctor from my primary care who thought I needed a Cardiologist instead of a Neurologist like I needed.. This doctor waited until I was so blocked in my right carotid artery to finally do something that by the time I got to my 2nd hospital to get it done - I was 100% blocked and they couldn't put in a stent because of the blockage. I even got a little narrowing behind my right eye because of all of the delays. It has even affected my ongoing medical needs like for cancer. I have stopped seeing that Primary Care doctor, and I would never go back to see Dr. Bokhari either.. He tries to do things that aren't in his realm. I needed a Neurologist - not a Cardiologist. I don't have a problem with my heart - I sure do with my Carotid Artery though. My Primary is next...I'm going to let him know what I think about all of the delay in my correct treatment. read more

After all the good things I've read and heard about Dr.Bokhari I was excited for my consultation. But it was a major disappointment. Due to I only saw the PA. No disrespect to him I'm sure he's great at what he does. But I really would rather see the Dr. read more

I live in Victorville, Ca. At the time I met Dr. Bokhari he had an office in Apple Valley so that was great. I liked him right away and felt I was in good hands. I had a carotid artery stent put in at Riverside Community in 2015 and a TAVR procedure in 2021, So far, so good. Am now scheduled for my stress test since my TAVR. I'm not sure Dr. Bokhari will be there or not and I am a little nervous and I need to go to Riverside however I feel he is a great doctor and worth the drive. I need him so I do what I have to. I know he's had some tough things to deal with in the last couple of years and on top of that there was Covid. Aside from that, he may spread himself a little thin which may be why the staff gets a little scattered. I'm not sure why things get a little disorganized but I try to be as nice as I can to them because they are my lifeline. I am appreciative and thankful. read more

I've seen Dr. Bokhari on multiple occasions. He has been late every.single.time. Not 10 minutes, not 15 minutes. My first appointment, I was left waiting 20 minutes. Okay, understandable. The second time was a half hour. The third was OVER AN HOUR. Today was the last straw. I sat in the waiting room for 45 minutes, only to find out that there were still 2 other patients ahead of me. I work too and when I make an appointment, I expect it to be honored. If he's running late, CALL ME so I can adjust my schedule. Don't just leave me waiting. Absolutely horrendous. Go anywhere else. read more

My dad Eddie Melendez really enjoyed Dr. Bokhari!! He is a great heart doctor and our family is greatfull to him. Thank you Dr.!!

The office staff was completely uncaring. I have issues breathing and I'm at a cardiology appointment because I'm having trouble breathing. When I was told I had to wear a mask in the back. When I tried to explain I can't I'm already having trouble breathing, I was told by the office manager, Amy no mask no appointment, she had no sympathy for my problem at all. This after waiting almost 2 months for an appointment. Worst care by a medical group I have ever received. Disgrntal Patient read more

I met Dr Bokhari 9 years ago when I had my first heart attack, thank god he was the doctor on call that day. I didn't know that day how important this doctor would become in my life. He by far is the best doctor I have had in my life. He is perfect in every way, from the expert care he gives to his very kind special bedside manners. He has saved my life 2 more times in the past 9 years!!! Theresa Bowser read more

My call was returned by Dr. Bokhari and results reported just days after my original post. I'm happy I was contacted and did not have to make another appointment to go down to the office for the results. Dr. Bokhari is thorough in his tests and analysis. read more

Made an appointment a month in advance because that is how far out they are booked. Show up to the appointment today they couldn't find my appointment. Asked them to look again and they found it only they say that they called to cancel twice this month and left voice mails to reschedule. No voice mails were left and no missed calls were on the call log. Confirmed the number that they are calling is correct and it is. Tried to schedule another appointment but cant get seen until mid-March now. Do yourself a favor and see a doctor with competent staff so you don't end up waiting 3 months to see a doctor. read more

Wonderful, kind, professional, and very thorough Doctor. Truly listens and cares about his patients.

Dr Bokhari is very attentive, knowledgeable and caring. All his assistant in the front office, nurses and ultrasound technician are very kind, nurturing, attentive and friendly. All my visits to this office have been positive. Thank you Dr Bokhari and staff for taking such good care of me. read more

My husband went in for routine test and were told his stress test was great they even had my husband run for most of the test but that the ECHO showed low ejection fraction and it was very serious and he wanted him to wear life vest in case of a heart attack. we kept calling for the follow up with more test and no one got back to us for 6 weeks. He could have died if e had a real issue. He eventually had another test done 2 months later with conflicting anwsers then there was miscommunication with returning the halter monitor. He had been prescribed meds but when we did the phone follow up appointment the Dr didnt even know he had been prescribed anything, granted the PA saw my husband before. The Dr should read charts before talking with the patient. The Dr was in a huge hurry to get off the phone my husband kept having to interupt and ask questions because the Dr was trying to get off the phone. The Dr was all" umm take the meds dont take them whatever u want." "I'll see you in 6 months" then a minute later "I'll see u in a year" He said my husband is fine but with so many issues with the office we lack confidence with him and his staff. Very scary when its comes to your heart. read more

Dr. Bokhari and his staff is very accommodating. They are all very professional, kind, and sensitive to your needs. My primary care doctor had been encouraging me to get my varicose veins taken care of for years. I finally decided and saw Dr. Bokhari. I had one of two varicose leg veins done. After only two weeks, my foot size decreased so dramatically, that I kept on stepping out of the wedding shoes I bought to attend my sons wedding! Great problem to have.! I did not realize how swollen my foot was from poor circulation with my varicose veins. With such great results I was looking forward to having the other veins taken care of. All three have been done with great success.! Thank you very much Dr. Bokhari. Stefanie S. read more

My family member had a TAVR by Dr. Bohkari less than two weeks ago. The procedure went better than we could hope. Dr. Bohkari and associates were extremely involved and attentive during the entire hospital stay....always on top of things, we never felt forgotten about. Even when we had concerns in the hospital the office staff at Advanced Cardiovascular Care did what they could to expedite our needs/concerns. Dr. Bohkaris' bedside manor is one of the best I have experienced and his medical expertise surpasses excellence. read more

Dr. Bokhari performed a TAVR procedure on my 89 year old mom two weeks ago to replace her aorta valve. The TAVR procedure is not invasive at all, definitely not like open heart surgery. My mom had no discomfort and came home five days after the procedure. My mom is doing great and I highly recommend Dr. Bokhari. Great bed-side manner and very talented. read more
