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.

Literally the BEST of the best
I have been seeing Dr Kamyar for a little over a year now and consider him a Godsend. I’ve suffered from gastrointestinal issues for a lifetime,Crohn’s disease and Reflux from hiatal hernia. After years of chronic vomiting he got it stopped when no other dr did and just shrugged it off or treated it as a psychological issue. . He never questioned my own understanding of my disease and always spoke with me intelligently. Most obviously, he is literally the most thorough and compassionate dr I have ever seen. He wears his heart on his sleeve and his sympathy shows on his face. I will be eternally thankful for the help he has given me. He is always patient and takes his time. He is a rare breed in todays world of impersonal, controlled, predetermined, measured medicine. God bless dr Kamyar. His assistant Jennifer also deserves a heads up for her helpfulness. And Mickey, the motility nurse - these people are all gold-standard.

Dr. Kamyar is the most amazing Doctor that I've seen in the past almost 2 years of trying to diagnose chronic pain and other symptoms that no other doctor was really interested in helping me with. I've been to numerous doctors, even other GI specialists and never received the care that I have received from Dr. Kamyar and his staff. He spends as much time as needed to get to the bottom of things and told me he would not give up until we figure it out. Hands down the best in his field and the best all around. He has been the driving force of the care I've received these past few months since I've been seeing him. Thank you Dr. Kamyar and thank you to your amazing staff (especially Jennifer).

We talked doctor-patient for about an hour. It was one of the best conversations I've ever had with anyone. Dr. Kamyar projected warmth, caring, and confidence the whole time. He did not just screen me for the recommended colonoscopy but took an interest in my total health - heart, diabetes, diet, the whole 360.

I have never had a better experience with any gastro in my life until Dr. Kamyar. Completely professional and empathetic. Refused to put me on anymore steroids after looking through my old charts, even explained to me that his sister has UC and that’s the main reason he started in the field. He asked me what I think would be the best course of treatment for a recent flare up and then gave me options to go from there. He’s very caring and does his job so well. I’m so happy to have him as my doc!

Dr. Kamyar is knowledgeable, experienced and I trust him completely with my care. The office support staff are professional and courteous. Although he is constantly running behind schedule, the wait has not been intolerable - usually 15-30 minutes. The most difficult experience is trying to get an appointment - both in terms of reaching someone to schedule and Dr availability. I still rate Dr. Kamyar 5 stars and am, thankful he is my Dr.

Dr. Kamyar is knowledgeable and thorough, but you may have to wait to see him. The receptionist seldom answers the phone, thus it is best to visit his office.
