I had an incredible experience with Dr. Ramin Mirhashemi. I was extremely nervous about having a…read morehysterectomy, but from the beginning, he took the time to explain the procedure step by step and made me feel safe and cared for. What stood out to me the most was not only his knowledge and experience, but also his humanity and compassion. At the time, back in 2024, I was also going through breast cancer, which made everything even more overwhelming. Dr. Mirhashemi gave me hope and reminded me that I had the strength to overcome whatever I needed to face. I had very large fibroids around and inside my uterus, and unfortunately, in my case, the entire uterus needed to be removed. I also made the personal decision to have my ovaries removed to help avoid potential future concerns related to cancer. I was 44 at the time, and for me, it was the decision that made the most sense. I will never forget the day of my surgery. Dr. Mirhashemi gave me a big hug before the procedure and gave me exactly the strength and reassurance I needed in that moment. That meant more to me than he probably realizes. He also discovered I had stage III endometriosis in my appendix the day of the surgery and he removed which I APPRECIATE!!! I wanted to write this review because he is truly an excellent and very knowledgeable doctor who made me feel safe during one of the most difficult times of my life. If you are considering Dr. Mirhashemi, don't think twice. He is one of the best doctors I have encountered throughout my entire medical journey. Thank you so much, Dr. Mirhashemi, for everything you did for me. I will always appreciate your kindness, compassion, and care. May GOD bless you always!

Thank you for everything you tried to fix me (and shout out to Gloriella & Natalie for all your help & support too)! As a side note, the office does do everything manually (no MyChart, email, etc) which makes things less convenient and there is usually a substantial wait for appointments, but otherwise you're in good hands!

I've not once regretted my choice and we love him.

Unfortunately, this has been one of the most frustrating medical-office experiences I've ever had…read more For my first appointment, I drove nearly an hour to the office only to be told when I arrived that the appointment was actually virtual. I had not been informed of that beforehand. Since then, appointments have been canceled multiple times, and communication and follow-through have continued to be extremely inconsistent. At one point I spoke with someone who was very kind and reassuring, and I was told there would be follow-up after my blood work. That follow-up never happened. What makes this especially disconcerting is that this is an oncology/hematology office, where patients may already be anxious and dealing with serious health concerns. Patients should not have to repeatedly chase down appointments, information, and follow-up care. I really hope Starling Oncology improves its scheduling, communication, and continuity of care, because my experience has left me feeling that patients are simply not being given the attention or consideration they deserve.

As a Registered…read moreNurse myself, I have very high standards for clinical excellence and patient care, and Dr. Sivakumar exceeded every one of them. On March 19, 2026, I underwent a minimally invasive retrosigmoid craniotomy to remove my meningioma. From our very first consultation, Dr. Sivakumar's expertise and calm, confident demeanor gave me the peace of mind I needed to face such a significant procedure. He took the time to explain every detail, ensuring I felt empowered and informed as a patient. The surgery was a success, and the post-operative care has been exceptional. Dr. Sivakumar is not only a brilliant neurosurgeon but also a compassionate healer who truly listens to his patients. He and his staff navigated my recovery with precision and genuine care. If you are looking for a surgeon who combines world-class technical skill with a heart for his patients, look no further. I am so grateful to have had him as my surgeon during this journey. God is great, and I am well on my way to a full recovery thanks to his gifted hands!

My sister Barbara was 50 years old when Dr. Sivakumar, one of the doctors who performed her back…read moresurgery, operated on her in December 2021. She developed an infection in her spine. Barbara also had Sjögren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease her doctors knew about, meaning her immune system could not fight infection like a healthy person's. She was HIGH risk. Yet two days after surgery, with an active spinal infection, she was discharged home with IV antibiotics and no medical staff to monitor her. In the hospital, nurses would have checked her leg strength and nerve function every few hours. At home, no one was watching. The infection grew and began crushing her spinal cord. She lost the ability to walk. Then she lost bowel control. These are textbook signs of a surgical emergency. Patients have only HOURS to get decompression surgery before nerve damage becomes permanent. By the next morning, my sister was paralyzed. Even then, she could have been saved from the worst of it, but she waited at St. Francis for nearly two weeks because no bed was available at the hospital that performed her surgery. Nobody treated her like the emergency she was. The window to save her nerves closed while she lay waiting. The paralysis became permanent. Pressure sores opened holes in her body at the facilities that followed. The infection they claimed the antibiotics would control spread into her blood. Sepsis. Her organs failed, her heart stopped, and on July 11, 2022, Barbara died. Her two babies, ages 5 and 3, lost their mother. I became their mom that day, and I watch them grow up without her. In my opinion, none of this had to happen. A two-day discharge with an active spinal infection in an immunocompromised patient was reckless. Every step after it was too slow. My sister didn't die from a back problem. She died from a system that stopped watching her. If you are considering surgery here, ask what happens if infection develops. Ask who monitors you and how often. Ask what the plan is if something goes wrong at 2am. Get answers in writing. Barbara trusted them. I will carry what that trust cost her for the rest of my life. It has taken me three years to be able to write this.
