Dr. Shahram Javaheri, MD

I have a severe heart condition (had open heart surgery a year ago) and diabetic. I was referred to Dr. Shahram Javaheri @ Mission Endoscopy Inc. for my colonoscopy. I was scheduled for the procedure twice and every time, 30 minutes prior to the procedure, the doctor cancelled my appointment. Every time I have had to stop my important heart medications and blood thinners for one week before and I had to do a no food diet and stopped insulins for 36 hours prior to the procedure. Stopping my medication and changing my diet, as a heart patient and diabetic, can be life treating for me. The doctor did not care about that when he decided to cancel my appointment on two separate occasions, each time just 30 minutes before my appointment. In that office, any cancelation by a patient later than 48 hours will incurs a $150.00 penalty that the patient must pay. Clearly they value their own time and interests, but don’t have the same level of care for their patients I do not trust this doctor

I went in for a Colonoscopy/Endoscopy. After telling the PA and the doctor that I wanted to be put out, I was given a twilight sedation that did not work. The last time I was put out. While I was getting my IV put in, I told them that I requested to be put out and they told me that I was getting "Twilight" sedation. I told them that the sedation was not working and the doctor continued with the procedure. It was the most excruciating pain I had ever been through. Afterward I asked him why he did not put me out and he said he did what my insurance approved. I called my insurance the next day and they told me that they definitely approved of full sedation for this procedure. I filed a grievance against Dr. Javaheri. My insurance contacted his office and was lied to or had not entered my request in the file that I had wanted full sedation. I will never go back to this doctor again.

Dr. Javaheri was very professional and very personal. He listened and did not rush me. He explained exactly what the procedure was. I would recommend him.

moved here from New York with my mom. my mom has Crohn's disease I have irritable bowel syndrome . what dr javaheri has done for my mother and I in such a short amount of time is amazing ? he is knowledgeable, kind, sincere. dr javaheri is quite busy yet always makes the time. ???? JD

I really like dr javaheri, he's personable and really listens. His staff unfortunately was not personable and actually rude. I wonder why the dr would have these people working for him, or maybe he doesn't know how they treat people.

Dr. Javaheri has done a colonoscopy and banding on me. He spends an appropriate amount of time discussing my options and answering my questions about what I should expect during and after each procedure. I have always been pleased with his service and confident in his expertise. The nurses who work in his surgery area are also caring and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Javaheri and his staff.
