“This is a very nice little Family Medicine practice. I expected the cosmetic treatment to be done by a nurse but it was actually the doctor who came in and did it. She is very pleasant, and the staff is also very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place.”

“Dr Hamidi addressed all of my concerns and spent a lot of time listening and talking with me. She is the nicest doctor and I’m really happy I found her when I moved here a year and a half ago.”

About Dr. M. Michelle Hamidi
I am a board-certified family physician who graduated from the University of Southern California (USC) Family Practice Residency Program in 1999 and have been practicing medicine since I received my MD license in the second year of my residency in 1997.
I completed my medical school at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences Faculty of Medicine in Iran, earning my Doctor of Medicine degree.
My practice is a full-spectrum family practice, seeing patients of all ages—from children to the elderly. Our female patient services include pap smears, endometrial biopsies, and other women’s health treatments. Our nurse practitioner has a special interest in women’s health.
We are able to accommodate patients within one or two days if it is an urgent issue.
I am also a civil surgeon for the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Citizenship Services, authorized to perform immigration physical examinations for intending legal immigrants.
I consider maintaining proper weight an essential component of family health. For the past few years, I have included a separate, complete, and successful medically supervised weight loss program. We offer a free workshop for the weight loss program every two weeks.

Good- She told me I needed to go to the ER- So I did and turned out I needed to as I had a nasty infection in the elbow.

May 31, 2023Rea P.Verified patient
The visit itself was ok but their response time is horrible. If you need to speak to someone after your appointment there is no way to get a hold of them. They will not pick up the phone in their office. I have even experienced them finally picking up the phone and then hanging up immediately after. I will be changing doctors.
March 22, 2023Nadia D.Verified patient
Everyone was nice and friendly.
December 20, 2022Myra S.Verified patient
Nurse was very friendly and listened well. The doctor was very rushed and left before I had finished asking the questions I had. I waited weeks for an appointment and couldn’t even get 10 minutes with the doctor because she was rushing so much.
