I have been more and short of breath. I moved to Santee a week ago. And searched and searched for the right kind of doctor. After at least 40 minutes of going over my health problems, he gave me hope that I could feel better. I cried because he gave me hope that I could feel better. What an incredible doctor!

Easy to book, Very friendly staff, quick to take me back to a room & take vitals; Dr. Saifi got to the bottom of my issue quickly, asked the right questions & was honest about what diagnosis he could provide (with lab tests) vs what a specialist would need to test for; he took his time getting to know me & my medical background & did not seem rushed; offered to follow up next day with test results & call in medication ASAP, if it's needed; overall fantastic experience- would recommend to friends & family
October 30, 2025Danielle H.Verified patient

September 9, 2025Jaclyn S.Verified patient
From the moment I checked in, the receptionists were very friendly. Great Job Carra and Giselle!! Then Mrs. Laura did an amazing job taking care of the necessary pass down to Dr. The meeting was amazing! Dr. Saifi is a great listener, truly cares and has a great sense of Humor... Dr. helped me by providing visual images and even found nearby pharmacies and labs near my location. He is truly amazing! Very genuine, driven and impactful. Now my bar is very high, I will only make reservations here with the best! God Bless you Dr. Saifi!
July 24, 2025Tamara N.Verified patient
Good first impression. Because of my issues, didn't really talk about a full plan. Instead, he sent me that day to a specialist. Once the priority issue is addressed, I believe we will have a good relationship.
July 18, 2025William C.Verified patient
Dr. Saifi asked numerous questions about me, and listened. It is refreshing to see a doctor that is concerned about my overall health.

February 21, 2025Jolene C.Verified patient
I was incredibly pleased with the attention, care, and information provided at my appointment. The office was easy to find and managed by very personable and efficient staff. Dr. Mirwais offered helpful explanations to my questions along with a firm plan moving forward. I plan to continue seeing Dr. Mirwais for ongoing and follow up care, and would recommend him to anyone seeking an experienced, straightforward provider who truly cares about his patients.
February 7, 2025Mariah W.Verified patient
Dr. Saifi is a well informed doctor with great bedside manner. I appreciate how he explained my health with visuals, so I didn’t feel as stressed or overwhelmed with my health issues. He also provided plenty of insight about my thyroid issues I hadn’t previously thought about. His commitment to his client’s health is paramount, and his clients can tell as soon as he walks into the client’s room.
January 29, 2025Jolene C.Verified patient
Dr. Saifi is an exceptional physician! He is highly knowledgeable, a great listener, to the point and incredibly kind. I appreciate how straightforward he is while also being thoughtful and thorough in my care. He took the time to understand my situation, ensuring that I felt heard and supported throughout the appointment. He is salt of the earth folk. It’s clear he genuinely prioritizes his patients’ well-being. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

I had a great experience establishing care with Dr.Saifi. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and we had really good rapport. He made me feel so comfortable and was very informative. He seems to really care for his patients and does a really good job with educating his patients on the disease process . I am so glad to have found him to be my new PCP.
December 19, 2024Tiffany W.Verified patient
Verified the appt on the phone &inform that I needed a physical and some forms filled out pertaining to the physical for school Went over form, specifying what each page was asking for. Staff were very kind. Got there,filled out intake& also informed her about the forms. The doctor came in the room & immediately said “you think I work for free? I’m not sitting here filling out anything for free” thought it was a joke but he continued to berate me. Need titers ordered- don’t have my immunization record bc they burned down in a house fire. He said big inconvenience bc he had to spend time ordering all the labs& appt should only be 5-15 mins& he wasn’t going to work for free. He’s still trying to bill my insurance as if he did a comprehensive physical but he never laid a finger on me. Never checked breathing, ears, eyes, throat, nothing. My insurance covers an HOUR long physical& he wanted to see me for 5 minutes tops, not do a physical& then charge me out of pocket for filling out a form
October 23, 2024Melisa B.Verified patient
I’ve had my fair share of bad experiences with doctors, but this was the rudest & most blatantly unkind I’ve experienced before. It was honestly baffling. I felt bad for the very kind receptionist. Couldn’t recommend this guy any less.
