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.

Met him at Broward Hospital- Great doctor
Telehealth
I met Dr Eftekhari as international patient flown in with kidney failure. He saw me right away and helped navigate my care while i was very sick at broward health hospital. He was courteous and professional. Even though i moved to Maryland where i currently live, i still fly south and do telehealth visit with Dr Eftekhari because i trust his expertise. He really helped me a lot when i was sick with kidney failure in hospital.

Got me a kidney transplant
I was on dialysis for years and my previous kidney doctor did not help me much to get a transplant. I changed to Dr Eftekhari and he was honest, straightforward and worked to improve my heart and other medical issues, and referred me personally to Jackson where i was accepting and now have functioning kidney transplant.Dr E is always very busy and his office is packed often but the wait is worth it. He saved my life and Im proud to have him as my doctor.

The Great Dr. Eftekhari of Fort Lauderdale
Dr. Parham Eftekhari saved my life in a nick of time. I had been rushed to Broward Health Medical Center with almost zero kidney function, lost my power to walk, my legs had given out. Within hours he had vastly improved my severely damaged kidneys with one dialysis he had me back on my feet again. To this day he monitors my well being far beyond his scope by ordering ultrasound for my bad leg circulation and consulting with my cardiologist , etc. He really cares. Feeling very blessed to have him in my life. Adam Geller

Highly recommend
I've been a patient of Dr. E for several years, and I can say that I have great confidence in his judgment and care. He is responsive, listens, and always explains the what's and the why's behind his recommendations. On top of all of that, he is a genuine, caring, and friendly person. I could not recommend him enough.

Very Knowledgeable & Personable Physician
Dr. Eftekhari is a very personable and knowledgeable doctor. He took as much time as I needed and explained in-depth what I need to do to improve my situation. I did not feel rushed or that I was another tick to the day's patient roster. I would recommend Dr. Eftekhari to anyone seeking nephrological helpl.

My Kidney Transplant Doctor
I know DR E for over 9 years. When i was sick back in 2011 he did everything to save my kidney bc my last kidney doctor did not do a good job. Unfortunately i ended up on dialysis , peritoneal dialysis was best for me and worked better than hemo. He worked hard to treat me and saw me monthly. He sent me to Miami Transplant and i got a kidney transplant now off dialysis. He is a busy doctor but always finds time to talk to me simple terms and saved my life. His office is always busy but well worth wait. Me and my wife trust our lives with him. Good bedside manners.

Helped me in hospital with kidney problem
Dr E saw me at Broward Hospital when i came from Cruise ship 2018 and had horrible pneumonia with kidney failure and liver failure. All the doctors wondered what i had, he went and checked for a rare pneumonia Legionella and it was positive. Antibiotics were changed, he gave me iv fluid and i got better immediately. I have seen him since in office. Great doctor knowledgable and helped save me from rare pneumonia legionella after my cruise trip in 2018.

terrible !!
I was referred by my primary, but tried to call for an appointment for 2 months. if they answer at all, they transfer to a line that just says it does not accept messages and hangs up. the other times a guy answers and frantically says "I'm here alone and cant help you!" then hangs up. I told my primary not to refer to this office again
