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.

Based on a total of 30mins of consult "conversations" he has with me as a patient while admitted to the hospital (no surgery required). My insurance company and me personally have been invoiced by him in the amount of $9800. With two charges for the same "conversation". Have also received separate invoices representing him from MGH Surgical Care in Florida. The charges and invoicing is excessive and abusive considering the services actually provided. I would not recommend Dr. Alen Babakhani as your surgeon.

I never met the guy. Had an emergency gallbladder removal, in hospital and with surgeon in my network. He was called in as an assistant, apparently. He’s not in my network, I was charged $20k out of pocket.

Dr Babakhani did a gallbladder surgery on my husband in August 2016. My husband was admitted to Florida hospital for 5 days. The doctor never mentioned that they do not contract with BCBS during his 5 minute $3500.00 consult. The Dr said that he would put a few stitches in a lower abdominal hernia for a temporary fix since he was already going to be in there. BCBS pd them less than a $1000. He charged for 2 FULL surgeries for himself AND 2 for ASSISTANT! ($35,500.OO EACH). OUR BALANCE $74,000.00
