Foad Ghavami's Online Review Report Card

I agree with the previous review and I’m speaking straight out here. The attitude and personalities definitely has changed with the pandemic and I know things are crazy right now. First, Jackie was not like this before but her attitude did definitely change. She is rude and talks abrubtly over us. When I last went in there she was rushing me in for an EKG when I was still checking in and taking care of co pay info at the front desk. Then she was getting annoyed cause she had to wait. Sure enough your blood pressure is going to start going up. The doctor himself has changed. He speaks very fast and talks over us and cuts us short. He is too dismissive. I was going through some sleep issues and was having a reaction to medication for sleep that wasn’t working for me but instead caused my blood pressure to become high. Instead of listening to my problem he put me right on blood pressure meds. Since I’m not always consistently high & the problem was temporary. My pressure also went too low

I think Dr. Ghavami is an excellent Cardiologist. However, his assistant Jackie is horrible. (That’s the reason for the three stars). Jackie has a bad attitude and acts like she is the doctor. She also makes little comments that’s are totally uncalled for. I worked for a doctor for 12 yrs. I got along with every patient and was never rude to any of them as she is! I am thinking of switching doctors because of her. Two of my blood pressure pills were changed in the past week and a half and I actually blacked out yesterday and am hesitating calling office to speak to Dr. Ghavami because of her.

Dr. Ghavami is the best and most caring doctor. Saved my life.

I was referred to this doctor because of very high blood pressure. Doctor seemed very knowledgeable however any medication that was discussed in office posed an issue when I picked them up. The biggest issue was the doctor discussed adding a med but it was contraindicated for a med I was taking for a long time. He stated, in office, he would prescribe something else that wouldn't interact, but when I went to pharmacy I was told there was an interaction however the prescriber noted I can take interacting meds one hour apart. I called my specialist who prescribed my original Med and he said if I took the blood pressure med I would need blood work weekly or it can make my system Toxic. I was then put on another med that cause all my fingers to be pale and numb, called back office. Receptionist said doctor would send in something else. I was going to pick it up but he never called anything in to pharmacy. So now I have to call back Again tomorrow. So I would rate Dr. Glavami himself a Zero as the way he practices medicine is potentially dangerous

I went to switch my cardiologist and immediately got examined and dr Foad took the time to explain what was going in with my heart and even showed me a diagram. He was very nice and made sure I understood everything. And immediately put me on proper meds which so far has been such a major help. I highly recommend seeing Dr Foad!

The best doctor! My dad lived until 90 years old because of him. We love him!!

I had the honor to work with Doctor Ghavami more then 10 years ago. I was a nurse and I saw how he took care of his patients. Today I and my parents are lucky to be his patients. God Bless him!! His assistant Jackie is the best as well!!

The doctor clearly explained my mother’s issues and solutions. He took time and answered all of our questions. He was very personable, informative, and made us feel confident in his approach to her condition. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a cardiologist.

Dr Ghavami is a caring , intelligent doctor who will spend time with you and answer every question you have . He also explains things without you having to ask him. He’s not an alarmist and has a great bedside manner. I feel very comfortable with Dr Ghavami. He won’t rush you or use scare tactics . I don’t know why anyone would give less than a 5 star rating .

You won’t find a better Doctor , I’ve been a patient since 2001 and I’m probably still alive because of his care . He doesn’t think of his job as a doctor just to be a job it’s a vocation to him . I consider him a dear friend and not just my doctor.
