I love this place. I have been there a couple of times in the past and I have never had to wait in the waiting room more than 20 minutes, and the waiting room is clean and bright and quiet. The staff is excellent, very friendly and also have a sharp appearance. the wait was a lot longer once in the exam room - this was the only downside of this visit. However the exam was quick but fairly thorough.

Great place. Highly recommend!

Dr. Aazami has given me excellent medical treatment, he has just recently helped me find a solution to an old continuous problem that I had. He has not been judgemental, but concerned and determined to help me and for that I am most gratefully thankful. I recommend anyone and everyone I know to his office. Thank you doctor Aazami

Sometimes I think patients expect doctors to know everything. That's impossible. When I first started seeing Dr. Aazami, he didn't know a whole lot about my disease (Lupus & the myriad of problems that can come with it), but by my second visit he was an expert on the subject; ordering the appropriate blood test and responding to my need for certain vitamins or medications.

I always walk into his office with a list that he takes and reads and responds to each item. He says he wishes more patients were as organized and as knowledgeable about their own medical issues as I try to be.

It's also difficult to get the perfect blend of office staff that are compassionate and sensitive to the needs of patients. He's had trouble in this area and replaced his old staff accordingly. His wife as Office Manager was a really smart move: she is, by far, the most responsive and kind person I've ever met in a medical office.

On a particular visit to his office, I had pneumonia and was having trouble breathing. Dr. Aazami saw me from his office window, struggling to breath as I got out of the car. He came running out of the office and helped me into a examination room and immediately started me on a breathing treatment.

If I need paperwork filled out, I make a copy and fill it out and hand it to him with the blank form, as a guide. He fills it out to his own specifications though. Not mine.

Doctors don't have a lot of time to spend with their patients; it's a business, not a social visit. So I come prepared with pen and paper and make my questions and concerns concise and to the point.

The staff, I kindly correct their attitudes and let them know that they have a job because of us, the patients.

The doctor before Dr. Aazami called me a hypochondriac. Took him a year of visits to finally diagnose me with what I told him I had: Lupus. A YEAR! I almost died under his watch. He later lost his license to practice medicine.



I love Dr. and Mrs. Aazami.

I've been to 8 different doctors over the last 5 years and could not find one that was comprehensive, personable and good. Luckily, I found Dr. Aazami. He is incredibly knowlegable and kind. I've always had wonderful experiences with his staff. They are always responsive and when I do leave a message they call back quickly, the only thing is sometimes you have to wait a little longer, but Its worthed because of the doctor.

I've been Dr. Aazami's patient for the past several years. Not once have I ever been disappointed with his work ethic, congeniality, office staff, or patient concern. I cannot begin to fathom as to why other reviewers hold him in such negative regard. He's an excellent practitioner and I have yet to find any other doctor who is even slightly comparable. Dr. Aazami is perfect in every respect. He's very handsome too!!

The office staff are not cooperative and compassionate and actually are very unprofessional. They've always showed complete disregard towards patients (at least in their voices). Some of them have a poor spoken english proficiency and there were more than one occassion where they hung up without giving me any explanation.

The superviser of staff who is named S***** ; is also very unprofessional. She always speak to the patients with a sense of enititlement. Most of the times she speaks on behalf of doctor and I'm not sure if the doctor is aware of that. Whenever I call to make an appointment they give me a date at least 4-5 days later no mater what the medical condition is. Sometimes when the office is very crowded, They just say the doctor is attending a conference and is not available and say if your are in a rush just go to the ER. The nurse taking the blood is not very experienced. so I asked to go to an actual lab. Dr Aszami is kind and patient. Unfortunately his staff put him down. I think he has to do something about his office atmosphere as it influences the attitudes and views of patients and questionable reviews definitely cost him his reputation. My only concern about Dr Aazami is that he does not advice for some screening tests which are age-appropriate and the vaccines that must be repeated within a specific time-frame. I did not get flu shot the last year (2011) just because I didn't go to his office on Sept-Oct and I got a very bad flu on March.

Unfortunately I will have to switch doctor. because I can't handle dealing with the the above issues any longer

I'm really sorry to hear about your feelings about our office and more sorry to hear that you're calling people with accents, unprofessional. It looks like you either have problems with people who have accent or you're one of our "narco drug" patients who is not getting the re-fill sooner and now you're bad-mouthing the office reputation. For your information, the supervisor is the doctor's wife and since she has all the information from the doctor, she speaks on his behalf sometimes. 99.99% of all our patients are in love with her because the way she cares about the patients, she usually goes out of her way to help out everybody and this is the first time I hear that anybody talk about her like this. We never did and never will hang up on any of our patients, that's the worse thing any office can do, not sure why would you mention that it happened to you in more than one occasion. About the appointments, if you were told that the next appointment would be in a few days, that means that we were booked for those days and don't like to over book patients here and keep them waiting and if you did mention that it was an emergency, we do recommend all the patients with emergencies to go to the ER, but unfortunately some patients call headaches or flu an emergency and we reserve the right and the time for the patients who have prior appointments. Regarding you're getting a flu because we did not call you to come in and get a flu shot, I should say that we annually send out email blast to all our patients (who have given us their email addresses) during the Flu season and remind them that the Flu shots are here, or when they come in for any other reason to the office the doctor would let them know personally, but not only us nor any other doctor offices would call the patients one by one for flu shots. I would really appreciate it if you can please be truthful to yourself and to others, because this is not a place for your vendetta and revenge.

Dr. Aazami has been my doctor for the last 6 years and I have recommended heim to friends who have also found him to be a great doctor. Just had a physical which I scheduled 2 weeks in advance and started right on time midday. He really listens to me and refers me to the best doctors in town when he thinks there may be an issue requiring further tests or others expertise. I feel totally comfortable with him and his abilities.

I've been to see Dr. Aazami about 2 times myself, and my husband has been to him twice as well. He's okay but he's definitely not very friendly, doesn't go out of his way to make you feel comfortable, or really introduce himself to you. I mean he says his name and then turns away but he doesn't reach out and shake your hand or ask how you are..though that part may be obvious. The real beef I have are with his office staff, they have the thickest accents which make them all hard to understand, and they are quite rude. They are not friendly and when you walk into the office, they don't greet you or even really smile. One time we had to stand there for 15 minutes, which was worse since we were coming in on a lunch break from work, the only time we have to see the doctor, and the lady was on the phone and didn't even look up for a minute to ask us if we could wait a bit or ask one of the other staff to aid us. We finally flagged someone down after the 15 minutes. We're hoping to change doctors very soon

Exceptional medical care. I've been using Dr. Aazami as my primary care physician for almost a decade, and I couldn't ask for a better doctor. He has treated me for everything from aftercare for heart-valve surgery to routine flu shots. He literally saved my life when I staggered in one day out of breath, my heart being squeezed by a rare reaction to valve surgery. He took one look at me and yelled for his staff to call 911. I'd hate to think what would have happened had he not immediately recognized the seriousness of my condition. He also listens to what I say and takes what I tell him seriously. I've gotten to know his staff a bit over the years, and they have always been good to me. When something comes up, they do everything to get me in as soon as possible, and I've never had a problem with billing or insurance. I began going to Dr. Aazami mostly because his office is near my job, and that's turned out to be a very fortunate choice.
