Patient review summary
1.00
Patient experiences with Dr. Golara Honari are overwhelmingly negative. Reviewers describe her as unprofessional, dismissive, and lacking in empathy. One patient recounts feeling deeply traumatized after Dr. Honari failed to recognize or address their suspected condition, lipedema, and instead offered a judgmental and inadequate response. This led to feelings of gaslighting and self-doubt, particularly as the patient later received a proper diagnosis from other specialists.
Another review highlights frustration with Dr. Honari’s approach to treating severe acne and hypersensitive skin. The patient felt that Dr. Honari was dismissive of their concerns, providing unsatisfactory responses and suggesting costly over-the-counter products instead of effective medical treatments. Additionally, the patient found Dr. Honari’s comments about makeup and appearance to be insensitive and unprofessional.
Overall, these reviews paint a picture of Dr. Honari as someone who fails to provide the necessary care and support expected from a medical professional, resulting in significant dissatisfaction and distress for her patients.
