I was happy that the doctor had knowledge of long hauler Covid. It is very difficult finding a doctor that knows how to deal with this. I walked out of the office feeling hopeful.

June 29, 2022Aravena J.Verified patient
Dr Pishanidar is a world class neurologist and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for care. He was extremely caring, taking the time to see my father on short notice, reaching out to specialist doctors for follow-up treatment for him, and reaching out to me multiple times so that I can help coordinate my father’s care. Thank you Doc!!
June 5, 2022Gabe F.Verified patient

October 18, 2021Shabnam H.Verified patient
Dr. is great but staff especially at the front are clueless. They don't know what's going on or that the Zocdoc Appointment existed at first. Multiple calls and an email with no response from some staff. Miscommunication and they didn't know what different departments were doing.

Zocdoc need to coordinate to ensure that the office gets the registration forms. I had to write two autobiographies today. Office staff and doctor were great!

A little bit of a factory feel to this place but i don't want to make an assessment based one my first visit.
We'll see what the future holds
July 21, 2021Craig A.Verified patient
One of the first times I was seen at or near my appointment time. Doctor was thorough, patient, and voiced his thoughts as to potential diagnosis. Even had a procedure done in office just to rule out/in a differential diagnosis. I work in the medical field that's why this may seem like a "planted" review, i can sure you it is not.
July 1, 2021Steve R.Verified patient
I would say that Dr. Pishanidar was very concerned and listened to me about my concerns with my health. I will go back and he is now my new doctor.

My visit was great. Dr. Pishanidar and his staff are very professional and courteous. They really do take the time to listen to all your concerns and explain next steps and follow ups. The doctor and staff are very thorough. I highly recommend this medical practice.
More than 1 year agoGiselle Q.Verified patient
Dr. Pishanidar was very attentive and listened patiently to all my concerns and then explained all next steps to me in a way that was easy for me to understand. He wasn’t at all dismissive or rushed like some doctors can be. I also had no wait time and was seen as soon as my forms were filled out. Overall great experience.

Dr. Sammy is a wonderful doctor, super intelligent and really listens with an empathetic ear (rare to find those two qualities in the same person). He's young and still building his practice, so if you have the opportunity to get him now I would really jump on it. I've seen doctors like this before and it doesn't take long before they stop seeing new patients. My only strike is the waiting room can be a little crazy depending on the day, I wish they could speed things up or at least build out a bigger space with more room to spread out, higher ceilings, and better ventilation. It feels a little cramped right now. But he's such an amazing doctor that it seems like a small price to pay.

I will definitely go back , doctor Sammy explain to me everything clearly ,

Dr. Pishanidar is the 3rd Dr. I have seen for my headaches. As they say, 3rd time's a charm. He really listened and recommended a plan that so far (6 weeks) is working! If I could give him 10 stars I would!

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Sammy. He was able to see me after I left the hospital immediately and was so kind and informative. I learned more in my short visit than I did during my entire hospital stay. He takes his time hearing what I had to say and what was bothering me and offered his genuine opinion. A real professional and a must see for any neurological conditions.
