NIGHTMARE Dr Sani is very kind and knew her stuff, however the office kept getting my insurance wrong after I physically wrote it down (I want to say it was twice, also I think they tried to say I was out of network when I found them through my insurance). An agent had to contact me to get the right numbers over the phone about 6+ months after my visit. I had an appointment cancelled on me the day before and I was thankful and never rescheduled. Only later to recieve a voicemail about an appointment I never made. I assumed it was a wrong call but I was left with a passive aggressive one-way message about the no-show. At this point I had their office number blocked but I called back to ask them to take me off their patient/client list. I lost my doctor in a tragic and fatal accident. I came to this office hoping to connect with a new doctor, and this system totally turned me away. Side note, I mentioned my aspirations to persue a medical career and Dr told me it will be too hard and to always have a backup, which was a little discouraging coming from someone with an MD. read more

Sani Farah, DO - The passive-aggressive message in question. - Internal Medicine Near Me - San Jose, California

Dr. Sani is one of the few physicians who really takes the time to know her patients well. Her questions are on target and reveal her level of wisdom and expertise. Her staff is friendly and scheduling is flawless. I'm happy to have found her as my PCP. read more

I'm very lucky I found Dr. S. She is a good doctor, caring and very smart. She's there because she cares about her patients.

If you are looking for a a Dr. that is more concerned about her ego then your well being and constantly shows up 30 mins late to a zoom meeting then this is the Dr for you. read more

I went with my wife on her initial visit to doctor Sani. I was so impressed with doctor Sani that I decided that I wanted her for my own doctor. She listens to you and spends a lot of time with you as she did on my wife's first visit and mine also. She has both of us spending time at the Timpanny swim center where we do in the water exercises that help both of us with our injuries and joint pain. We have both lost weight also in the past month. She was highly recommended by one of the senior nurses at El Camino hospital and we need to write her a letter and let her know how thankful we are. We have had no issues with the front office staff. read more

I wish there was something as "no star" cause thats all she deserves! She is a terrible listener. She answers phone calls while she is in the room with you and supposed to spend time with you. She literally spend less than 5 min to send you away with bunch of unnecessarily tests so you come back and pay her AGAIN so she tells you that everything is fine. I could have read the result myself and know I am fine why did I have to pay and drive all the way there for you to tell me I am fine? And her staff are even worst. I never seen anyone mess up so much and come after money that was their mistake. They are rude and disorganize. I DO NOT recommend this misery to anyone. So please do yourself a favor and save your time and money and look for anyone else but her! read more

Dr. Sani is brilliant, straight forward, and insightful. She really listens to your issues, and was able to diagnose a long time health issue I was having where neither my previous GP or a specialist did. She's great, and a genuinely nice person too. read more

Worst doctor I've ever been to. Her only concern is to schedule additional visits to charge you more. Really bad attitude and rude staff. I do not recommend her at all! read more

Saw Dr Sani only once. I though she was good but her front deck person is extremely incompetent and difficult to work with. Unfortunately, one needs get past the front deck person first before one can see the doctor. This was the only reason why decided to switch. read more

Dr. Sani is the BEST!! She's professional, thorough, perceptive, kind and a very good listener. She really pays attention to me when I talk, and I feel like she genuinely cares about my health. She is very knowledgeable and projects the kind of medical authority that I find reassuring, NOT arrogant or dismissive. I've been her patient for about 7-8 years now and I plan to remain her patient. read more

In an environment surrounded by big box type health institutions (Kaiser, Stanford etc) where its easy to be treated like your in a patient mill I can say that Dr. Sani stands out as a caring and knowledgeable independent physician who takes the time to explain the diagnosis, answer questions and provide practical and good advice. She is not a head nodder and will not rush you out of her office. She is proactive in her treatment approach and I feel personally with me she has ordered tests to stay ahead of the game so we are not blindsided with complications later. I am not one to write reviews unless someone really does go above and beyond and I am fortunate to have Dr. Sani as my care provider I wouldn't hesistate for a moment to recommend her to my family or friends. read more

I was very happy with Dr. Sani Farah. A Doctor's visit can be intimidating, but not with Sani Farah. She is very knowledgeable, personable and great at listening. She is great with informing you and making you feel comfortable. I would highly recommend her! read more

We've been going to Dr Sani for years now, and it's been nothing but pure medical regret. I had one question from this doctor, and called once, following her declaration of a family member having lymphoma, and when I finally went to see her in person, she literally snapped and said that I couldn't expect her to return every single call that I made to her regarding my question - even though I had called only once. I could name so many instances of this doctor being extremely rude to my family and I, as well as numerous problematic diagnoses that went unconfirmed from second opinions. Do yourself this favor - stay away from Dr Sani. I hope you take my experience and use it wisely. read more

Dr. Sani is one of the most caring and meticulous physicians that i have seen. She took her time with me during my exam and i never felt rushed. She is very personable and friendly and made me feel at ease during the visit. read more

Well I'm not surprised to read the other negative reviews about this doctor. I am writing this review on behalf of my mom who was a patient of Dr.Sani and on behalf of myself as a pissed off daughter. My mom was seeing Dr. Sani to monitor her diabetes. She was seeing her over a period of a few months when during one visit out of nowhere, Dr.Sani decides to give my mom samples of Prozac while telling her she is depressed. My mom politely responded that she is not depressed and is normal and Dr. Sani looks at her and says "you don't know what normal is and haven't for a long time". Excuse me??? First off are you a qualified psychologist or psychiatrist to even diagnose this condition? The answer is no , she is a D.O. (Doctor of osteopathy). Second, have you followed any of the proper guidelines of DSM-IV diagnoses for mental disorders. The answer once again is no?? A little advice Dr.Sani: before you give patients harmful medications with a slew of side effects, make sure the diagnosis is correct and know your scope of practice: you are not a psychiatrist so refer out to a specialist instead of diagnosing a condition you are not qualified to diagnose. Finally, she was never seeking your medical advice for depression, she was there for diabetes. Next time, someone comes in for a hangnail don't amputate their leg!!! Needless to say my mother never went back. read more

After reading all the previous Yelp reviews, I guess you either LOVE Dr. Sani (Farah is her first name) or don't like her at all. I am in the LOVE, LOVE, LOVE category. My gynecologist of many decades recommended Dr. Sani when I needed a new "regular" doctor. I consider her one of the very best doctors I have seen over my 65 years. She was thorough at each physical (only doctor to ever give me a complete visual check for skin cancer), reviewed my blood workups with me, made suggestions for better health and when I FINALLY applied her very simple suggestions (the main one being, "walk briskly at least 10 minutes each day"), I LOST OVER 30 POUNDS IN ONE YEAR'S TIME. She is an intelligent woman and treated me like an intelligent client. It took three years of her gentle nagging to "walk briskly" before I actually did it and I am forever thankful for her care. And, yes, I too have experienced glitches with either the front desk or with the billing department but when I sent her a letter marked "confidential" explaining the issue, SHE IMMEDIATELY CALLED ME DIRECTLY TO DISCUSS. Who could ask for more? read more

Dr. Sani is great and never rush patients out.She is a wonderful listener and a great doctor.Highly recommended.

Dr. Sani is probably the most dedicated physician it has been my good fortune to meet. She actually listens to what you have to say and puts things in terms a patient can understand even if she has to change it around a few times so that she knows you do understand. That takes intelligence, patience, understanding and caring! The office staff is wonderful as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent internist who can put you at ease with a smile and keep you at ease with her kindness and understanding. These were my first impressions of her and they haven't changed in the years I've been fortunate enough to be treated by her. She is indeed simply "THE BEST"! Jackie H. read more

I cannot in good conscience recommend this doctor to anyone. She does not listen. She also is a little "out there" with her advice. She does take time with the patients to sit down and talk, but the discussions were sometimes bizarre. She knew my husband and I were trying to get pregnant. She rejected a diagnosis from a previous GYN as to why I wasn't getting pregnant, and went on and on about listening to my dreams, because they'll tell me when I'm ovulating. I had to argue with her over this and another issue, and asked to see a specialist. She insisted I wouldn't find anything, because nothing was wrong. But, she finally relented. I saw the specialist, and indeed the previous diagnosis held up, and I found out there was a treatment. That treatment led me to a beautiful baby girl very quickly. So I fired Dr Sani. My husband was also seeing her, and continued to after I left. He had an issue where he was sick, and then after a few days on antibiotics, got even sicker. He called and spoke to her, wanting to come in. She didn't have any appointments available, but told him not to worry, he just has another illness on top of what he had before. He insisted this wasn't the case, as it had a fast growing rash along with other symptoms, and she said he'd be fine and hung up on him. I took him to the ER. He was having an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. He fired her too. I came to find out later that three other people I know well had her as a doctor, and they all fired her. Her staff was mostly good, but there was one younger woman with an attitude problem. One of the good ones left. read more

I selected this doctor because my current medical insurance does not contract with my previous PCP. The sole purpose of my visit was a pre-operative physical including blood-work for an orthopedic procedure as required by my surgeon. Dr. Sani seems like a nice lady and I'm not at liberty to fully comment on her range of expertise, but I am particularly disappointed at how the administrative matters were handled. Following receipt of the test results, Dr. Sani requested additional blood-work. In general I have no problem with that, but my complaint is how this information was communicated to both me and my surgery coordinator; our understanding was that I couldn't be cleared for the procedure until I received the additional testing, and in addition the coordinator did not receive the test results in a timely matter. I ended up scrambling and taking time off work in order to pay for both an additional visit that I didn't want and more blood-work, and eventually learned that the extra testing was not even necessary to clear me for the procedure. read more
