Haleh Ghanea Bassiri Md's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Bassiri throughly explains lab work and addresses concerns, she uses her research for the betterment of her patients,

Of the, too many, doctors I see, Dr. Bassiri is my favorite. In addition to her wonderful demeanor, she listens well and explains things thoroughly. Most of all, her goal is to get me to a point where I no longer require her intervention and she can turn my care back to my primary care doc.

Dr. Bassiri is very thorough, pleasant, and professional. I have full confidence in her ability to take good care of me.

Always a long wait in the office. I feel she is uninterested and just getting through the day, I don't get any new information on my condition, no discussion of things that can help, no cutting edge information. I get more information online.

Always professional, helpful, friendly and thorough. Years ago, Dr Bassiri saw a nodule on my thyroid in an ultrasound image. We followed up, and eventually it was partially removed. Just a side-note; It's unfair that another reviewer here would offer one star and an unfavorable review after receiving a call-back, saying the Dr wasn't accepting new patients at the time, due to re-staffing. Many Dr's don't accept new patients, at one time or another. They returned your call, and they offered you two alternatives. That is good service.

UPDATE: Neither my Primary nor I have EVER heard back from Dr. Bassiri's office to accept me as a New Patient! We were never told by her office initially that they were not taking any new patients; they took my information when I called (after my Dr.'s referral got no response) and said "We'll get back to you". NO ONE ever got back to either my Primary or me. RUDE - we're talking HEALTH and MEDICINE, not New Shoes!! I've heard and read that she is a very competent and compassionate Specialist; apparently her 'gatekeepers' in the front office choose to keep her from potential new patients who require her high level of skill and experience. TOO BAD. I was so looking forward to meeting Dr. Bassiri and being treated by her for my recently discovered serious deficiency. I wonder if she is aware of the new patients she is missing out on? There aren't many Endocrinologists on the Peninsula.

There are only 2 Endocrinologists in the area. She is soft spoken, kind and extremely cautious. It seems she is only able to address one problem at a time.

I have been seeing Dr. Bassiri for about 7 years. She is bright, friendly , professional and her ability to process all my blabbing is remarkable. I appreciate her caring, knowledge .

I don't know how good of a doctor Bassiri actually is because her staff has refused to set up an initial appointment for my brother. The direct quote was that he "is not a fit" for the doctor, despite a family history of thyroid disease and him having all the symptoms himself. I don't know what "not a fit" means, but to me it implies either racism or sexism. We got him an appointment with my sister's endocrinologist without that office even hesitating. Sad that we had to get him in with a doctor 300 miles from home because this office refuses to help people out.

She is very compassionate and dedicated to her patients
