Dr. Alavi is so personable to his patients. he was quick and thorough.
I had a great experience with Dr. Reza Alavi. He was extremely patient took the time to clearly explain the cause of my issue and made sure I understood all my treatment options. I especially appreciated how gentle he was when administering the shot—it was completely painless. I felt very well cared for throughout the entire visit and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate orthopedic doctor.
The wait was very long!!
I saw Dr. Reza today. Great doctor. Was on time, listened to my situation, and provided a great plan of action. Thanks for getting me in on the same day.
Took plenty of time with me and patiently answered all my concerns
Dr. Alavi is very thorough, patient and understanding he actually sits and listen to your concerns and gives great guidance on next steps and procedures. Keep up the great work Doc!
Very pleasant to talk to. Took his time and explained everything to me
Dr. Alavi is patient and kind. He listened to what i had to say and offered treatments and diagnostic imaging. I was concerned that he would be dismissive (like my primary care was) but i was happily wrong. I would recommend him without reservation.
Terrible bedside manner. Multiple Inappropriate comments after confiding in a personal matter regarding my weight. He is the epidemi of why girls have eating disrders and take their own lives. I even confided in him that I was on a weight loss management system and instead of encouraging me he left me feeling sad and distraught ..well hey.. I’ll give you a Direct Quote…I made a funny comment that I was glad that I didn’t see the needle that he used for my injection before he did it… because it was really long… the Nurse or MA or whoever was assisting him chuckled at the joke…. He says in a very condescending tone.. “Well you want a smaller needle then lose the weight”. I’m like yea WTH? I just explained to you my weight loss regimen. And even if I didn’t have one… what kind of Dr says that to a patient?? And I’m a Nurse!! And because he was so rude I will let it be known that I had to ask him to clean his hands before touching me and after.. walked out without sanitizing!! Hello CDC!!!
Listened, examined and made a plan A & a Plan B. Appreciated very much
