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.

Two stents in left leg
I could hear all talking during my surgery although I couldn't feel anything. I was very impressed with Dr. Nabi as he spoke to his team very kindly and seemed calm. My surgery went well and was perfect.

without seeing MRI, CAT SCAN or Echo results for TIA diagnosis Dr. Nabi first bashed the Los Al staff where I had been taken by ambulance and admitted for 2 days, then told me I only had Vertigo. Condescendingly he ordered an Angio test.

AWFUL, ARROGANT, AVOID - This is my personal experience, my opinion. I had a knot in my calf when on a long walk. My left femoral artery was blocked; PAD, claudication. Dr. Nabi installed 3 stents, 6” each, from my hip to my knee. Now I am in constant, 24/7 pain, much worse, and subject to repeated and more invasive surgeries. When arteries are blocked, collateral arteries can create alternative paths. Dr. Nabi failed to mention blood flow can be improved by walking thru the pain, with exercise. Surgery was his only option. After Surgery, I discovered that leg stents fail at an alarming rate, within 6 – 24 months. Scar tissue builds up, closing off the very artery the doctor just opened. I read medical research and went to see 3 other vascular surgeons. Even the Wall Street Journal (9-19-2019) reported leg stents don’t work! Most doctors stopped using them many years ago! At exactly 6 months, I could not walk! I had another surgery - Already?!! YIKES! Go elsewhere!

My experience with Dr Nabi was a great success (he repaired my aneurism on my aorta). I think the Doc can walk on water.

Dr. Nabi is an excellent physician with great bedside manner. He performed two vein ablations for me and took excellent care of me pre and post procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Nabi for any vascular needs.

Extremely professional, straight to the point and made sure I understood everything. I love that he came in right away and talked to me and asked all the questions himself (as opposed to have a nurse do it and just showing up at the end). He is ver knowledgeable and definitely knows what he’s doing. Wish all the practitioners were like him.

Dr. Nabi has been able to restore circulation in my husband's leg-and is doing the same procedure on his other leg soon. Dr. Nabi is both thorough, and conservative in deciding the best treatment choice for the problem. We highly recommend him!

Dr. Nabi was very kind. I was misdirected to his office and he gave me a referral to the specialist I needed. He also called right after to give me the contact information for the doctor.

I had a vein ablation done in early January. My leg was a gross, red, itchy mess, with a wound that wouldn't heal. Between this procedure and treatment from a wound care specialist, my leg feels great save for some occasional itching, and I was able to take a planned vacation to Disney World in Florida and hike around all those parks with no discomfort, and hit the resort pools. The leg still looks kinda creepy - Dr Nabi said the procedure probably wouldn't fix the ugly - but I feel great.

This physician ruined my legs. I went to see him for my varicose veins. He injected my legs and caused me to get a blood clot that put me in the hospital. I would never recommend him to anyone and I would absolutely avoid being treated by him.
