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!
I have been seeing Dr Mahboobi for over a year. Wonderful doctor and excellent bedside manner, Highly recommend!

Genuinely Upsetting
I went a few weeks ago for severe chronic back pain. He literally opened with 'Why don't you just take acetaminophen?' And obviously I wouldn't be here if that worked?? And as I was answering he repeatedly kept interrupting me, for example with that question I was about to say I wouldn't be here if it worked and he interrupted me mid sentence to ask 'why haven't you tried injections?' He didn't even let me answer either, I have answers for all the questions he asked but I couldn't even say them because he interrupted me so much. In general felt he didn't care and I had even told him I don't get nerve pain and without much examination of me prescribed some random nerve pain medication. I questioned this and he said 'If this doesn't work we will only prescribe something similar'. Complete waste of time, all I wanted was a muscle relaxer so I could have a decent night's sleep for once. If you've been to a doctor that didn't take you seriously then you know what I'm talking about.

Dr Mahboobi has changed and became rude. He does not acknowledge that there are patients that have disability and need assistance when they come to the office. He blames the covid when it was agreed before the appointment that patient will be escorted in their appointment and with proper protocols for covid.

I was referred to Dr. Mahboobi by my GP following a two month lower back problem. Dr. Mahboobi was able to diagnose the problem very quickly which was confirmed following a MRI. His progressive treatments helped resolve my back problem and avoided me having to schedule surgery.

Dr. Mahboobi is outstanding in every way - highly knowledgeable, professional, compassionate and extremely ethical. I have to receive difficult treatments every 6 months for spinal pain issues and Dr. Mahboobi does them in the most gentle and pain-reducing way possible. I have been to several other practitioners in the practice and he is the absolute best. I recommend him very highly.

I was referred to Dr Mahboobi by the PA at the Anderson Clinic for lower back pain. It was suggested I go through a series of shots to avoid surgery. I had had these shots over a year ago by another practitioner, she was in and out and the shots did nothing for me. When I say in and out I mean it seemed like the proceedure was simply to dispense some product into my back and charge my insurance. My experience with Dr Mahboobi was completely different. He explained to me what he was going to

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Dr. Mahboobi and his office staff. Specifically, Amy! They listened very well and provided various options to assist with getting me some relief from radiating pain I was experiencing on both sides of my legs. After 2 years I'm very optimistic about my quality of life. It's only been a few hours since my first injection but again, I'm very optimistic.

My primary care doctor referred me to Dr. Mahboobi when she decided not to manage chronic opioid patients. I've got chronic back and hip/le pain, am in a wheelchair, and am a palliative care patient. He comes in, shakes my hand, and says, "So, you've been in pain 20 years and have arrived at an opioid dose that's much too high. The deal is, if I am your doctor, you will taper both your long-acting and immediate release opioids in half. And I am worried that you are 0.5 mg of Atavan." I said no.

I have had back pain for the last 5 years and have been to many doctors who haven't been able to help. I first went to see Dr.Mahboobi in the shirlington office. His staff there was very rude and incompetent. Dr.Mahboobi on the other hand was gracious, understanding and knowledgeable. He informed me that he also worked in the Mount Vernon office, which is where I have been seeing him since. The staff there is courteous, friendly and knowledgeable about insurances. I would not recommend elsewhere

I recently saw Dr. Mahboobi and couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome of my care. During the first visit he examined me and instead of going in blindly to do an injection, he sent me to radiology for an MRI an x-ray. His staff called me almost immediately after having the study done and put me on the his schedule for a steroid injection which helped tremendously! I have one more injection to do and will hopefully only see him for maintenance. He and his staff are wonderful!
