“I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Bagheri. From the very first visit, I felt genuinely cared for and heard. Dr. Bagheri not only highly knowledgeable, has over two decades of experience but also incredibly kind and understanding, taking the time to explain everything clearly and answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed. Living with a rheumatologic condition can be overwhelming, but his compassionate approach made a huge difference in my comfort and confidence moving forward. What truly stood out to me was his level of follow-up and attention to detail. Consistently checked in on my progress, adjusted my treatment thoughtfully, and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. It’s rare to find a healthcare team that combines expertise, knowledge with such a warm, patient-centered approach. I highly recommend Dr. Bagheri to anyone looking for a caring and dedicated team. Thank you so much Dr. Bagheri for make the hard times easier through your care”

One of the best doctors I’ve seen. He was kind, knowledgeable, and took all my history into account for a comprehensive treatment plan. Very pleased to have encountered him.
Verified patient
what an amazing experience here. From the receptionist, to the nurse to the doctor himself. Fast, thorough, kind, and willing to go the extra mile! Love these guys. Will be my doctor from now on!
I have had a rare type of disease that wasn't diagnosed by any of the numerous doctors I went to for a number of agonizing years. All the usual blood tests came out to be normal. Dr. Bagheri was the only one who wrote the required rare blood tests that helped in its diagnosis and the subsequent treatment. He has also been responsive to my queries directed to his office and has gone above and beyond in the course of my treatment. I'm grateful beyond words.
Verified patient
Great doctor, nurse and staff. Professional yet friendly. Smooth and efficient. I really liked that Dr. Bagheri was focused on diagnosing the problem rather than rushing to prescribe meds. That gave me a lot of confidence in him and the team.

Verified patient
The staff were polite, friendly, prompt, skilled , and had a great sense of humpr. They really made my appointment fun. Dr. Bagheri listened to everything I had to say and took me very seriously, ordering the necessary tests to get us on the right path and rule out certain things that could be tied to my concerns. I am looking forward to my next appointment and have full confidence that this team will help me figure out what is causing my issues. So glad to have found this office!
Verified patient
“After waiting a month for my appointment, I went today and the doctor’s receptionist, in an extremely rude and shameless manner, told me that my name wasn’t in the system. This lady, who even refused to give her name, acted very unprofessionally and poorly, and offered no help whatsoever. In the end, I wasn’t able to see the doctor.”
Verified patient
Good
I see why Dr Bagheri has high reviews. He’s good, and his staff are friendly. He gave me an action plan and his staff gave me a good laugh. Thank you
Verified patient
Great experience, Dr Bagheri really listened to what was going on and provided several courses of action. Office staff was very friendly.
Verified patient
I was very appreciative to the fact that me and my mother had miscommunicated about the appointment time. She thought it was for 2:45 when it was for 1:00pm. And since the office is a 2 hour drive during traffic time there was no way I could have gotten there sooner. And Dr. B still saw me.
Verified patient
Very thorough
Dr. Bagheri made feel really comfortable talking to him about my concerns and he explained everything to me really well. He is a great doctor!
