Great doctor! Had a short wait time and staff treated me well! Amazing!
Verified patient
I appreciate his honesty!! Jila is very very helpful!!
I’ve seen Dr Raoof twice and both times he was very short and dismissive of my health complaints. Somewhat rude and seemingly annoyed to be seeing me. He just recommended medicine I can buy at a drugstore instead of helping me beyond that point.

Verified patient
Dr Tooraj Raoof and his team were EXCELLENT! Very friendly and organized staff. I didn't have to wait long at all the see the doctor. The facility was extremely clean with interesting fun tech to look at while you wait to see the DR. Would highly recommend.
Verified patient
Quick and easy.

My appointment was at 3:30, and I arrived on time. At 4:30 I was brought back to an exam room. Office closes at 5, and I asked after a few minutes if they knew when/if I would be seen by Dr Raoof, and the woman at the front desk said she did not know. This was a follow-up after a relatively easy initial appointment. I will not be returning and would not recommend Dr Raoof.
Verified patient
Dr. Raoof was very nice, as were his assistants. All listened to me carefully, and discussed issues thoroughly, in a good-humored way. I wasn't looking forward to this visit, but came out of it feeling pretty good. Dr. Raoof is now my primary care physician.
Verified patient
Terrible doctor.
Verified patient
A nice neighborhood office. He did try to upsell me on some products/services he was selling but other than that, a perfectly good visit.
Verified patient
wow! What a doctor! I've been dealing with my severe itching for a while and had seen couple of doctors before. His diagnosis was completely different that anybody else and he was absolutely right! I'm already much better!
Verified patient
Holy unprofessional, Batman. I was asked inappropriate questions and at one point the Doctor told me he didn't believe me. Staff was lovely.
It was clear he was in a hurry and didn't take the time to listen to my concerns. A week later, I am having to return to a different doctor to see if they can help me for my allergic reaction.
Verified patient
Dr. Raoof was very professional and listened to all of my symptoms and told me the best course of action, giving me a few options. He was direct but had a great personality. His daughter is an NP and will be joining his practice, so he let me know if I wanted to see a female instead of him for any reason she was available to me, which was really nice since I am typically used to seeing female doctors. She introduced herself as well and was very knowledgeable with a great attitude.
Verified patient
It's not a healing place, it's beauty parlor for wanna be Barbie dolls I have an insurance with full converage, yet I was charged OUTRAGEOUSLY! I could have done the blood work from Quest, but they did it anyways. what would happen to people who can't afford it? Don't they suppose to let them know/if they can afford it or not? How come they don't tell/discuss with you before starting treatment or procedures or anything to make sure that patience is ready to face the bill not sending them with a them? If I couldn't pay what would happen?
Verified patient
The visit was ok. I got checked by the doctor pretty quick. The knowledge he provided was pretty basic so i really don't have much to share. The staff towards the end was pretty friendly. At first they kept insisting on my insurance card.
Verified patient
It the worst doctor i've seen in my life 010
Verified patient
Seemed uninterested and eager to get rid of me. Was expecting to be examined, which all my dermatologists have done during check ups. Dr. Raoof didn't even have me take my shirt off.
Dr Tooraj Raoof was very pleasant
Bed bed bed!

Great doctor
It was good and immediate
Verified patient
Very professional and attentive. He is engaged in some clinical trials of new medications (especially to help control blood cholesterol levels), so is most likely up to date on the latest. I will go back.
Verified patient
It went well.
Verified patient
This was my second appointment with him. Both times I was not impressed. I was kept waiting for about 45 minutes, just for the rude doctor to come in and give me 30 seconds of his time.
comfortable and professional
Verified patient
Terrible. Also returned no phone calls and did not respond to refiles. Bad staff as well. Very unprofessional appointment don't go here!
He's good and the staff is friendly as well.
Visit was good. He was friendly, though the front staff could have used a bit more of a welcoming smile on their disposition. There was also TOO much energy around money from the minute you walk in. All of the paperwork to sign was about payments, arbitration, credit card numbers in case checks bounce, etc. and the signs on the wall were about rigid payment policies, etc. He should change that. Gives the impression he is one of those doctors who is more focused on money than care. There is a way to do both without shoving it down your throat. Other than that, my experience with him when he came in was pleasant. He cracked a few jokes and made me feel at ease, and I was in and out quickly.
Verified patient
He is so good.
