Dr. Lighvani is a true pro and did a great job explaining my allergies to me after testing. The extra time he took to answer my questions was much appreciated, and frankly, rare in the medical profession. His staff was also excellent at the front desk and his nurse as well. Thank you Dr. Lighvani!

My overall experience with Dr. Lighvani was pretty good. I've had some bad experiences with doctors and so relatively speaking my appointment with him was at the higher end of the spectrum. There were a few things that stood out (both positive and negative): Negative: - His office called me four times the day before my appointment to confirm. The first call was at 7:15am, then 7:30am, then 9:00am, etc. I know it's their job to confirm, but the early, continuous calling was just unnecessary. - The doctor was quick to push immuno therapy on me (weekly shots over the course of several years to "cure" my allergies). I still need to do some research on this to see if it's legit. Positive: - When he took my blood pressure and it was high, he immediately called my internist to inform her and discuss any next steps. I was impressed with how thorough he was in this regard. - He told me his billing dept. would call to discuss whether or not my insurance would cover the allergy shots, and they actually called the very next day when he said they would.
