Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Doctor and incredible staff
Dr. Ghafoori and his staff were extremely professional and some of the most friendly staff I have meet. They treated me with kindness and care over the 7 weeks I had daily appointments with them. Very happy with the care they provided and would recommend.

Review of Service
I am Herbert S. Woods of Austin, Texas. I am 75 years old and I have had cancer. Needless to say, it can be scary. If you too have been diagnosed with cancer, I highly recommend you choose Dr. Ahmad Paiman Ghafoori as your Oncologist. Several main reasons listed below:1 -Impeccable credentials– Harvard Medical School Chief Resident- Duke University Medical Center2 -He was recommended to me by smart people that I respect at Seton Ascension -UT Health Austin Laura QM Chow MD-FRCP University of Texas at Austin and others3 -Metaphorically, he reached out a hand and pulled me out of cancers grip!4 -Overacheiver-He has been recognized over and over again by his peers in Radiologic Oncology as being in the top 10% of the “Best of the Best of Us” in America5 -He is obsessed with being on the cutting edge of science today-Copious amounts of reading alone.Six more reasons

Being one of Dr. Ghafoori's cervical cancer patients was a privilege. I was able to experience another human being that truly genuinely cares about the well being & health of others that have been diagnosed with such an ugly disease. Dr. Ghafoori's knowledge & ability to diagnose & comfort an individual at the same time is truly a gift. I am so glad I was led to his practice because he was terrific as well as his surrounding Dr. assistance & other clinical staff members. I would highly recommend him to others if they have been diagnosed with cancer & had to have radiation treatments. Thank you for all that you do daily

Dr. Ghafoori, along with his nursing staff, radiation technicians and support staff have been incredible. They have made every effort to address any concern or issues I have had. My results have been great, much to the credit of this wonderful doctor, and I know that I am in very good hands. I always feel confident that he has my best interests in mind. I can not recommend highly enough this doctor and his office of professional staff.

Less than 1 if possible. Was talked about as though I was not in the room. First treatment I was left in an alcove in the hallway with my legs spread covered by a sheet. Most traumatic experience of my Cancer treatment. I should have refused treatment after first Brachytherapy nightmare. I would like to express my gratitude to the external Radiological team. They were very kind.

A very caring doctor. He treated my vestibular schwannama successfully with the cyberknife radiation. I would recommend him and this treatment to anyone who is a candidate for this type of treatment. The treatment killed the cyst, the numbness on my face is gone. Being very optimistic that the hearing will come back.

I had radiation therapy for cancer in my prostate bed/pelvic area. Dr. Ghafoori was very thorough and extremely knowledgeable in developing an the individual radiation plan for me and my specific medical case. He went out of his way to fully explain what was needed to treat my specific case, the possible side effects and fully answered all the many questions that I had about this treatment. In addition, he did all this with a genuinely caring and truly compassionate manner from his heart.

After speaking with my Neurologist i was told to try a procedure called CyberKnife and was sent to Dr Ghafoori's office to start they were all very welcoming and understanding of my needs. I had or (have) Trigeminal Neuralgia and it was the worst hell I've ever been through.When i got to meet Dr Ghafoori he spoke to me in a very calm and intelligent way on what they were going to do and possible outcomes. I am now pain free 3 months after Thank You doctor you gave me my life back.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ghafoori?
Dr. Ghafoori is pleasant to deal with when he is in the room with you as a patient. He listens well and has good feedback. The reason I can't give him 5 stars though is that he keeps patients waiting way too long. His Nurse Practitioner, Kerry, comes in to see the patient first and pretty promptly. She is really wonderful in her role as well. But I have waited anywhere from 25-50 minutes for Dr. Ghafoori to come in after her, and that is very frustrating, especially with no apology.
