Update: I received a call back from the office within an hour of posting this and was able to get…read moremy labs scheduled! I appreciate the issue being addressed so quickly and wanted to update my note accordingly. Thank you! ---------------------------------- This review is not for Dr Paredez, who is honestly a wonderful doctor - but for his office. It is literally impossible to get in touch with anyone there. I've tried calling multiple times throughout the day, waited on hold for 15+ minutes only for someone to pick up the phone and immediately hang up. I've tried leaving a message both on the phone and on their site - no response most of the time, occasionally a call back (roughly 1 out of 5-6 times). I was told the office would contact me to schedule labs but of course, nobody did, so now I am just waiting indefinitely. I rarely post Yelp reviews, but am so frustrated with the quality of care here that I have to look for alternatives and hope that enough such reviews will get the attention of the doctor and perhaps something will change eventually. I plan to look for alternate care- not because of the doctor (who is, again, wonderful) but because there is just no way to ever get in touch with anyone in this office.

Dr. Paradez is great! My gastroenterologist retired and I had a question. My husband had come here…read moreand really liked and trusted Dr. Paradez; his own primary care doctor says he comes here. I got a telehealth appt for him to look at my records - and he said it was clear why my doctor had made the recommendation she did (even if in other circumstances, people normally need to come in for a colonoscopy). Great that he explained it so well and saved me having to get a procedure! And my husband had a very easy experience here with his. Great office & I'll be back in a few years when I actually need to come in!

The office of Doctor Majid Shabaz is large and friendly, especially Grace. In addition, there is a very fine Physician's Assistant by the name of Chelsea. Chelsea is very well versed in medicine, and I have total confidence in her when we have an appointment. She also offers appointments via telephone or online, which can be very convenient indeed. Doctore Shabaz is very good on referring you to tests that will be important to your health. There are also labs and X-ray offices right next door, which is great! I visit the office every three months to be certain I stay healthy!

Dr. Kamyar and Jen/Office crew are amazing! They are practically family…read more I initially went to his office because all the nurses/staff at Grossmont Hospital Endoscopy department whole heartedly recommended him without hesitation. Dr. Kamyar diagnosed me with fistulizing Crohn's disease and been with every single step of the way. While it can be tough to get on his schedule, he is beyond worth it. When the wait grows long, it's because he cares about his patients and gives each patient the time that they need. The burden of the wait is well worth the time he takes to listen to his patients. He is an excellent physician!!! Such a kind man with a great sense of humor! I'll be devastated when he retires but will never be able to say thank you for the help and support of Dr. Kamyar and his staff. While he is practicing, you couldn't pay me to see another GI.

This Dr. is terrible. I don't know how she has any positive reviews. The only reasons why I give…read moreher one star is Yelp doesn't allow you to give zero stars and also her medical assistant Danny was super helpful and understanding. Just look at the critical yelp reviews. These issues with patients are not a coincidence. I'd agree with other reviewers who stated that she should have her license revoked. She had a poor bedside manner and spoke with a tone of entitlement. When I visited this doctor she did not try to diagnose or understand anything about me, my current situation/issues. Instead she forced me to watch a power point presentation that looked like the target audience was for children and lectured me on the importance of sleeping and eating well. If you are a new patient and are seeking a knowledge and caring doctor, this practice is not for you.

I would strongly discourage anyone from choosing Dr. Robin Spearing based on my mother's experience…read moreunder his care. Her experience was one of the most frustrating and disappointing interactions with a physician that our family has ever encountered. Dr. Spearing's bedside manner was consistently poor. He often seemed dismissive of concerns, unwilling to listen, and lacking in basic follow-through. One of the most unbelievable and recurring issues was his habit of leaving the exam room, saying he would return, and then never coming back. This happened so frequently that my mother eventually addressed it directly during an appointment. As he was preparing to leave the room, she told him that he had a habit of saying he would come back and then never returning. His response was, "I promise, promise I'll be right back." He then walked out and never came back. My mother was absolutely stunned. To have that happen immediately after it was brought to his attention was both shocking and incredibly unprofessional. Another incident that raised serious concerns involved blood work. My mother specifically asked about her blood sugar results and was told everything was fine. She later discovered that her blood sugar had not even been tested. Learning that he had provided reassurance about something that apparently had not been checked completely eroded our confidence in the care being provided. There also seemed to be constant turnover among the nursing staff. Nearly every appointment involved a different nurse, making it difficult to establish any consistency or continuity of care. Patients deserve a physician who listens, communicates clearly, follows through on commitments, and treats people with respect. Unfortunately, that was not my mother's experience. She frequently left appointments feeling dismissed, frustrated, and unheard. Based on what our family experienced, I would not recommend Dr. Spearing to anyone seeking attentive, patient-centered medical care.
