I know he is one of a Select Group of Doctors who truly relates to his patients on a individual basis! Dr. Bamshad treats you & your concerns as if they were his very own. That is truly the way he makes you feel.

Dr. Bamshad and his staff were excellent. I was treated very well and everyone was incredibly kind. My wait time to be seen was about what I thought it would be. I would definitely recommend Dr. Bamshad to friends and colleagues.

Facility in Cedar Sinai looks rundown. 1-hour wait. Spent 10 minutes with patient. Play by play: peed in a cup, nurse did quick ultrasound, waited 1 hr, got a brief reasoning on his educated guess of my symptoms (10 min), did not feel assured.

Terrible experience! he does not listen to your history properly! he jumps on conclusion and explains the worse case scenario. it was an experience worse than googling a "headache". you go there and feel like you will die soon

Regarding zocdoc information. Doctor is in a Blue Shield of California network. But it's not true.
We made appointment with information about our insurance. This appointment had been confirmed by doctor. But when we came in to visit doctor we get information that right now doctor is out of our network and they will bill us, instead our insurance.
August 10, 2015Katsiaryna K.Verified patient
Seemed very knowledgeable and took time in throughly answering all of my questions and concerns. Didn't feel rushed which was nice. Appeared to be lot of return patients to the office. Asked to pay the co-pay before I was seen by the doctor which I thought was a bit odd. No validated parking located inside the Cedar Sinai complex which can be a bit pricey.

Good doctor. Office was super busy when I arrived, ended up waiting for an hour. Hundreds of patient files in the examination room weren't locked, which was slightly alarming.

He was very professional, thorough and apologetic about the wait (their front desk person was out sick). He even waited for me to go out and repark my car. I'd definitely recommend Dr. Bamshad.
