This was my first visit, and all that I read about her in previous reviews were spot on. She’s very professional and welcoming with such a sweet personality. She wasted no time with me, she listened too my concerns and didn’t just subscribe medication and send me on my way.

Dr. Modiri is adorable! She’s gentle, knowledgeable, and very confident and clear with suggesting steps to target cause of problem. The lady in the front was very pleasant, warm and welcoming as so was the nurse who took my vitals. Great team of professionals to be around!

After feeling not heard or listened to in other places, I went to Dr. Modiri desperate for someone to hear me about what I was experiencing. She really, really listened and took a comprehensive approach to get to the bottom of my issues. She's kind, compassionate and very patient. I highly recommend her to anyone who is frustrated and seeking an action-orientated doctor who truly cares.
October 7, 2019Amanda S.Verified patient
I’m sooo happy I booked with Dr. Modiri (I’m a new patient)!! Everything about my appt. with her went exactly as hoped, better than hoped! Doctor M. was very attentive to complaints and descriptions of my strange stomach pain, and together we decided on a reasonable treatment plan which will prepare me for a colonoscopy. I’ve never had a doctor include me in my own treatment (what a novel idea lol!), it’s always do this do that bye have a nice day. Not Dr. M! I felt like she was actually listening to me :) I don’t have insurance, and she was really very kind about it, telling me where I could get the best deals and such for my medications, which her office called over to my preferred pharmacy for me.
Receptionists are eh - when I first arrived, I was asked for my ID and insurance card. Nothing new, from back when I had insurance, I’m used to the routine of getting the two out. Handed the woman my ID and she was like, insurance card? I said I don’t have insurance, and I got this weird look with judgmental undertones. You don’t have insurance? she asked. No, I’m paying for myself, I answered. idk. Maybe she just doesn’t deal with a lot of uninsured people, but I sensed it was more a judgey thing, like looking down on me like I didn’t have enough money to pay for myself or something. Uncomfortable. Perhaps Dr. Modiri’s compassion will rub off on the front desk staff. As someone who has been insured, uninsured, insured, and now uninsured once again, I sympathize greatly for those without coverage. I only wish everyone else felt the same. The woman who took me to the room + did vitals was great - funny woman, kind and patient. Same woman who did vitals booked my next appt. when I left, and wrote me a card to remember.
Overall great experience!! Dr. Modiri’s professionalism is worth dealing with the lackluster front desk. idk maybe if you have insurance, the experience is less uncomfortable. Humble yourselves, everyone ??

My visit with Dr. Modiri was excellent. She was very patient with me as I explained my symptoms. She then gave me a physical checkout to confirm my guesses and her suspicions. She was very professional as she politely told me what she believed to be happening to me. I was impressed! I trust her judgement explicitly, and though I hope I will not often require her medical expertise, it's good to know she's always there to help!
