September 17, 2015Brian O.Verified patient
I had a trigger finger and pains in my hand. He gave me a cortisone shot and ordered an ex-ray for my wrist. He does not have ex-Ray equipment in his office therefore I have to pay another copay for the ex-Ray and return for another visit and copay after they are read.

Dr. Nejad asked all the questions he needed to ask, performed the examinations he needed and took x-rays. He was personable, pleasant, and I was very much at ease, especially for my first visit. Considering I received an injection, the visit was very pleasant. Dr. Nejad has a good sense of humor.
March 2, 2016Susan T.Verified patient
Dr. Nejad was very friendly and diagnosed my issue quickly and confidently. He provided treatment and showed me how to properly help myself during the home care part of my treatment. He also explained my injury, the levels of severity and treatments. I found him very kind and informative the way doctors should be, which put me at ease. My appointment started on time, which is HUGE for me. I value both my and my physician's time by showing up early and with paperwork complete and expect to not wait 30-40 minutes.

The office and facility were run down and dirty. I do not doubt the doctor's knowledge and his bedside manner and that of his staff was pleasant. However, I knew immediately upon entering the patient waiting room that I would not come back. I couldn't wait to leave. This was not a good experience.

Extremely knowledgeable doctor who seems to have a vast wealth of expertise and experience. I was originally diagnosed with an ankle sprain incorrectly by Patient First and Dr. Nejad was able to diagnose my accessory navicular injury(bone on side of foot injury) successfully and had good knowledge of what my options were and were not at that point in time. He took time to explain the injury honestly and what my options were allowing me to ask questions and absorb the information easily.

July 16, 2015Tonya M.Verified patient
I was in so much pain when I entered his office I could barely speak. I attempted to describe my pain. He understood that I was not being very clear due to my discomfort. He asked me a few questions and then knew/had understanding of what I was going through. He let me knowof some tests, therapy needed as part of solution for my problem. I was in and out within 20 mnutes. I still feel good!

Great Infirmative
May 1, 2015Patricia J.Verified patient
Office staff was efficient, I filed my background info over the Internet so the only thing I had to do was provide my insurance card so they could make a copy. Within 5 minutes I was escorted to the exam room (10 min ahead of appt time), the nurse took my vitals and the Dr arrived after the nurse left. Dr G fully explained what the condition was and explained possible treatments. He walked me through each step as we progressed. I left confident that I got proper care and assured that if I have any unexpected problems he will make time to see me as early as possible.
