I was going to give the whole troubled history of how I came to be Dr. Rayhanabad's patient, but…read moreit's a long story, so instead I'll just relay the recent, happy part of my story. I want to start off by saying that finding Dr. Rayhanabad (here on Yelp) was the BEST FIND I've ever had! Well, actually, I believe I was being Divinely *led* here (to this Yelp review); in fact, Divinity has stayed with me, and Dr. Rayhanabad, during this whole trial! Thankfully, my breast cancer was discovered early, and Dr. Ray..., unbeknownst to her at the time, scooped it all out! "Unbeknownst to her at the time..." because all the tests showed that my cancer was only 3cm and so that is the number that Dr. Ray... was working with during my surgery. But, because it's her practice to scoop out more tissue (more than many, if not most, of her peers), she ended up getting out all 4cm of the cancer with 1cm of clear margins! When I saw her at my post-op follow-up appt., she said she was very surprised at the actual size of my cancer, which, she said, made her even happier when she saw that the tissue had clear margins. She said she did the Dance of Joy! She also said that I was very lucky, because if she had known it was actually 4cm in size, she would've had to do a mastectomy. (I have since told her that maybe I should be a case study to show that you don't necessarily have to do a mastectomy based solely on the size of the cancer.) Anyway, due to the fact that Dr. Rayhanabad is a superbly skilled surgeon who has a high success rate in following the "One and Done" motto, all the (known) cancer is out of me! ("One and Done" meaning, only going into surgery once, get out all the cancer, and be done with it.) I am so happy that Dr. Rayhanabad will be with me on this journey for the foreseeable future; and now, when I see her walk into the room, I get such a sense of joy & comfort. THANK YOU Dr. Rayhanabad for your surgical skills, for the joy your work brings you, and for the great love you have for your patients! And, the gals in the office are pretty nifty too - smiling, friendly, helpful ladies!

This was my first appointment with Dr. Rayhanabad. She was very focused, positive and caring. Her…read morereputation is high in the community because she is so good at what she does. I know several, yes, several women who see her and every lady has given me positive feedback on the care they receive from her. I must note that she is so sought out that you may have to wait a while in the waiting room. I had to wait 90 minutes before I was seen. Perhaps because she takes TIME with each patient and you do not feel rushed. She was mindful of the wait and apologized.

The most important doctor I've ever had. She was my cure for cancer.

Jessica Rayhanabad, MD - Dr. Rayhanabad. An amazing person. An amazing surgeon & now..an amazing friend. My entire family felt that she was the right choice. Agreed.

Let me tell you, I could not be happier w/ the service, expertise and laughter I receive from the beautifully Amazing Lydia. Not only is this woman completely knowledgeable about her line of business, but she makes you feel so comfortable, it's as if we've been friends forever. I swear I've been to her family cookout on many occasions... lol. Let me tell you how I met this incredible woman. I was referred by my BFF to go to another individual to get what "I thought" was needed and that was wood therapy. I try to call this woman and she doesn't answer her phone but texts me back about what I want. At this point she is continuously texting all the different things she does. I move on to ask so want do I need and how much? She rambles off she doesn't know until she sees me. Of course makes sense, I'm still not quite sure what I need and ask if I can call her on the phone. She continues to texts paragraphs by the way that she doesn't talk on the phone to clients, only texts because not everyone buys and she would be wasting her time...WHATTTT!!! I'm already coming to you, my BFF has referred you to me, I'm not gonna skip out. She still says sorry can't talk. Alright, I ask do you take Zelle then? She says ohhh no, I only take cash. I'm losing it at this point. If I don't know what I need or what I'm getting, how in the heck do I know how much money to bring? By this time she is texting my best friend about me wanting to talk and how she doesn't do that. My girlfriend gets mad at me and says everybody runs their business different, she only text everyone...I get that everyone runs their business differently, however this woman is in the body shaping business, am I crazy to think that you should talk to a potential client who is willing to pay the money needed for the required procedures?? She made all the time in the world to text, paragraph after paragraph but a 2 minute conversation would have hurt the business, I guess... smh!!! Now you know the Lord works in mysterious ways. I did a Google search for wood therapy near me and low and behold 10 or so businesses pop up. Mannnn, now who do I choose. Our Little Secret was like a mystic creature that shot me dead in the eyes for I was literally dialing the number as if I was under some spell... lmbo!!! This wonderful woman Lydia answers the phone and says I can see you today and let you know what you need... WHATTT ARE YOU SERIOUS??? I rushed so fast to her cute little office and she told me exactly what I needed. I was to wait until my surgery is done, then give her a call. Fast forward my procedure was done and I have been getting my lymphatic massages every since. I did think she was going to abuse me the first time, but she made me feel like Jack & Rose in the Titanic "You jump I jump!" She held my hand the whole way thru. Not only did she hold my hand... I told her my favorite movies are ROCKY's... why did this woman play the song Eye of the Tiger LOL I know I have a ways to go and may not know the direction I will go. I do know that Lydia has my back and will have yours too. She is extremely knowledgeable, customer savvy, funny and direct to the point. Take my word, Lydia is the real deal, you won't regret it...Yep, she doesn't know it yet but I will be at the dinner table next week. I'm family now

The doctor looked at some of the lipomas I have and said sorry those are too big and can't remove them, knowing that I have other small ones that need removal as well. So instead of the doctor recommending that he can help me remove the small ones at least, he just said sorry you can go to a surgeon and get them all removed. So the whole appointment lasted 5-10 mins I went to the office and didn't even get the service or part of the service I needed, yet a month later they send me a bill for my visit and they also billed my insurance on top of that. Very disappointing and unprofessional. Not recommended.

Yikes! One night I went to bed smooth skinned. Washed my face. Checked the mirror and there IT was - the biggest, ugliest MOLE starring back at me. Did it blink? Yikes! Of course I tried picking it. Didn't budge. Tried covering it with bangs. Yet everytime I reapplied lipstick it peeked at me through the parted mane. There. See. It winked. Without haste, I got a referral from my GP, who sent me to Dr. Nichols. As a new patient, of course, I checked Yelp first. Hmmm. Some good. Some not so good reviews. I had to trust my GP and hope for the best. To my delight, the waiting room was full, with seats available. The chipper young woman manning the front desk asked for my ID, then handed over paperwork to fill out. One page. They didn't need my entire medical history dating back to childbirth. YAH! By the time I completed the form a cheerful Scott led me to a very neatly appointed exam room. In the corner sat a display case filled with a Christmas scene. Sweet. Scott asked a few questions, then told me the doctor would be right in. Sure enough, within minutes, Dr. Nichols walked in looking as jolly as Ol' Saint Nick (get it, Nichols . . . Nick). LOL. Clean shaven, he must have recently cut off his beard to enjoy Spring and Summer unfettered. LOL. His eyes twinkled as he asked why I'd come. 'Tout suite,' he zapped that pesky intruder, and I was on my way. The procedure was so painless, quick and easy I'm keeping Dr. Nichols' number handy in case more moles show up.

I get to the office and was told that I would need to pay everything in full. After some prying with the female receptionists they agreed I could pay my copay for the price of the office visit but would need to pay for all additional costs since my deductible was not met. I didn't think this was fair or correct because they are a preferred provider of my Blue Shield PPO plan and contractually the rates would be lower after billing the insurance. They told me I would have to pay the full amount and get sent a check if there was a difference in price. I called Blue Shield directly and was told that this is NOT standard practice because Blue Shield does all of the billing for the PPO plans and sends the patient the amount owed and explanation of benefits AFTER being seen. Long story short, this place is a scam, do not go there!!!

I had no problems speaking with him, or seeing him. It's the rest of his staff that I have an issue with. They are not only extremely disorganized, rude, and unknowledgeable, they also take no accountability for their misinformation. I originally called to make a consultation appointment, and they had said that my consultation would be free. Upon entrance, they changed what they said and told me that I would actually have to pay $45. This was annoying, but fine. I told her that I had been told that it would be free, and she said, "Yes, and I misspoke, and I'm sorry about that, but now you need to pay $45." Whatever. Then, after Dr. Miller had said that my procedure would be covered by insurance, she came back and said that no, it would not be covered, even Dr. Miller was pretty sure that it would be. After a little back and forth between them, Dr. Miller told her to look into it, and if it was not covered by my insurance, he would just charge me $25. Two weeks later, I found that *surprise* it *was* covered by my insurance! She was about to charge me x3 the price of something that my insurance ... literally covered .... without checking. Then, I tried to pay my bill online, and the people at the front desk had inputted the incorrect e-mail address, so I could not pay my bill. They tried to say that I gave them the wrong e-mail (but it's my name........ pretty sure I know how to spell my own name?) and were really rude when I spoke to them. So even though I would like to go back and see Dr. Miller, I will not be because this whole process was really annoying and stressful for no reason.
