Dr Zardouz, is amazing and I'm so grateful to have found him. He has been treating my migraines and…read moreafter 30 years I've finally found some relief. He's easy to talk too and cares about his patients, he even asks me how my job is going and takes a real interest. I highly suggest you schedule an appt and his office provides a lot of different services.

"Quick Appointment, But No Follow-Up or Care"…read more While I appreciated the fast initial appointments and prompt MRI scheduling, there has been no follow-up since. I've made over two dozen calls and have yet to hear from the doctor directly about my results. Instead, I got a vague call from a call center -- I'm not sure if they're even qualified to discuss imaging results. The office staff never offered for the doctor to call me back, and no one responded to my questions about doing a telehealth visit. I had to pursue everything myself. To make matters worse, the phone system rarely connects you to a real person. Most calls go to a message queue, and it's unclear whether the doctor even gets those messages or if they stop with staff. I still haven't received a clear explanation of my MRI or a comparison to my previous one -- the very reason the doctor ordered the scan. The lack of follow-up, poor communication, and absence of basic patient care has been extremely disappointing.

Are you ready to get your life back?"…read more That's what I was told at my first consultation. Throughout, I was told I would get better over time. The night of my surgery, I asked to have my daughter with me so I wouldn't be alone, and I was not allowed to have anyone there to advocate for me. That same night, I was served soup that was scalding hot and sustained burns in my mouth, including injury to my tongue. My dentist later told me I was fortunate it did not become infected. I have photos documenting this, but they are too graphic to share. The morning after surgery, I reported my pain as 10 out of 10. A nurse contacted the doctor, and I was discharged without being seen. I was told they needed the bed for incoming patients. I did not feel ready or safe to leave. Communication after surgery was difficult. Much of it was handled through text messages, even when I was in significant pain and reaching out for help. I did not feel supported during that time. Since then, I have been left with bilateral nerve damage, bilateral neuropathy that makes it difficult to walk, and muscle damage. I have since sought additional medical opinions and have been told that no further surgery is recommended and that the damage is permanent. I now live with chronic pain and require a spinal cord stimulator to help manage it. I am losing my business I worked years to build. Have been issued a permanent handicapped placard. Two years later, as my anniversary of the day my life changed forever I live in daily pain. This is not the life I was told I would have.

Hi-- I'm honestly at…read morea loss for words. I feel incredibly grateful that, after receiving multiple--and at times very conflicting--opinions, I chose Dr. Shifflett and his exceptional team to perform my ADR surgery. What felt like a complicated and uncertain path is now something I look back on with real appreciation. He is personable, humble, clear and patient while handling life altering decisions. They were fantastic. I couldnt have asked for more.

After seeing countless specialists over the years, I can honestly say that Dr. Bijan Zardouz is one…read moreof the best physicians I have ever had the privilege of seeing. I scheduled an appointment because I was very concerned about the possibility of dementia and was feeling scared and overwhelmed. From the moment Dr. Zardouz walked into the room, he made me feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. He took his time listening to all of my concerns without ever making me feel rushed. What impressed me most was how incredibly thorough he was. He performed a detailed neurological examination, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and answered every single one of my questions with patience and compassion. Instead of dismissing my concerns, he took them seriously and made sure I understood the next steps in my evaluation. Dr. Zardouz is not only exceptionally knowledgeable, but he also has an outstanding bedside manner--something that is becoming harder and harder to find. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail gave me confidence and peace of mind during a very stressful time. Dementia and Alzeihmers runs in my family and my father has dementia and progressing rapidly. If you are looking for a neurologist who truly listens, cares about his patients, and provides exceptional medical care, I highly recommend Dr. Bijan Zardous located in Santa Ana, Ca. He is an outstanding specialist, and I feel fortunate to have found him. By the way front office staff is just as exceptional. Thank you to the entire Medical office! I am editing my review because Dr. Zardouz referred me to an ophthalmologist because I am type 2 diabetic newly diagnosed and thanks to him referring me to an ophthalmologist I found out I have narrow angle which causes glaucoma and or blindness. Ophthalmologist told me not to worry because we have caught it on time and a simple procedure might be able to stop the progression. Again thank you Dr. Zardouz you have been a blessing in my life.

Before performing any additional eye exam or imaging test, the office should clearly inform…read morepatients that there will be an extra charge and explain the cost in advance. That never happened in my case. I paid my copay, and no one mentioned that I would later receive a separate bill for an additional eye evaluation. The unexpected charge was very frustrating and left me feeling misled. The appointment itself lasted only a couple of minutes, and the doctor did not spend enough time explaining my condition or why the additional test was necessary. Patients deserve transparency about both their care and the costs before any tests are performed. Because of this experience, I will not be returning.

I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon for my husband than Dr. Areo Saffarzadeh, MD, along with…read morehis physician assistant, Abraham Gadelov, PA-C. Both were exceptionally helpful and kind throughout a very stressful process. Dr. Saffarzadeh put our racing minds at ease from our first meeting, explaining everything in detail and outlining the expected outcomes. We left that meeting confident that my husband was in good hands. His staff is equally kind and supportive, always addressing our concerns without making us feel like an inconvenience. Everything went according to plan, and we had the best possible outcome. From the moment we met Dr. Saffarzadeh, we felt a sense of calm and assurance that everything would be okay, and it was. Dr. Saffarzadeh is not only an outstanding surgeon but also a compassionate human being. His expertise in robotics allowed him to remove my husband's tumor with precision, making his recovery much smoother. Dr. Saffarzadeh exceeded our expectations in every way. Before the surgery was over, his hospital staff called to let me know that they were almost done and everything was going well, so I wouldn't worry. Thirty minutes later, he personally called me to say the surgery was finished, all the tumor had been removed, and my husband was recovering well. I've never met a doctor as detailed and caring as Dr. Saffarzadeh. I highly recommend him. If you need a thoracic surgeon in Orange County, CA, give his office a call. Orange County Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgeons - Orange 1310 West Stewart Drive Suite 503 Orange, CA 92868 Phone: (714) 997-2224 We left his office feeling confident and informed.

I wish I could give them a million stars because they truly deserve it. Thank you, Sherry Kirakosian

(I'll start by talking about Dr. Saffarzadeh's office & staff, because I'd like to allot the rest…read moreof the write-up to him...The office & staff are wonderful & kind. They are on it, & they get things done, simply put. They know what's going with each patient. For example, when we were undergoing the surgery scheduling process which has multiple steps, whenever we requested a follow up, the staff knew what was going on, & they took steps to make sure everything was being done in a timely manner. They treat us with kindness in every interaction.) On Dr. Saffarzadeh - He saved my mother's life. His expertise & skill got my mom successfully through a precarious surgery, & in no time, she & our entire family were back to our normal lives...Which is all the blessing we could ask for. Dr. Saffarzadeh gave us that - more precious time with my mom & each other. We have the utmost confidence in Dr. Saffarzadeh. He explained the treatment plan in detail & in a way we could understand. He answers & even elicits questions from us. He knows my mom's case such that every time we see him, we feel that her care is continuous, almost as if she's the only patient he has. He gets things done quickly, including speaking directly & right away with other physicians whose care was also needed to get my mom's surgery & treatment plan accomplished as quickly as possible...With right away meaning, now, right during our visit. We are so gratefully amazed by this. He even provides contact information such that we can contact him anytime. Dr. Saffarzadeh also embodies the other part of being a great physician, which is compassion. We felt it from the very first visit. We know his field must be so demanding & busy, but we never feel that from him. We can feel that he cares every time we see him, that he is giving everything he has to do what's best for his patients. We are so grateful to Dr. Saffarzadeh. In truth, I get teary-eyed in gratitude whenever I think of the profound help he has given to my mom. The community & his patients are blessed he is here & that he chose this profession of healing people. We are blessed to have him as my mom's surgeon. We have personally told him, but I hope everyday he carries with him the knowledge that he absolutely helps people & makes their lives better. We are forever indescribably grateful.
