Dr. Alavi is fantastic actually. I’d been going to another ent for a few years without them even realizing what my problem was, and Dr Alavi took a quick cat-scan of my head and found one side dangerously infected and swollen. He got me on some antibiotics quickly and then did a ballooning of the sinus passages to open them up and allow me to breathe easier. Aside from his excellence as a doctor, he is actually a very cool guy, and never spoke like he was any different from you or I. Another thing that he understands is how painful infected sinuses are, and his super steady hands never slipped or caused me any pain. His staff is well versed and extremely polite. I’m very grateful to have found Dr Alavi, so I don’t have to return to the other group I had been seeing- also I believe he is opening an office in Camarillo, which will be fantastic for me and my family!

Dr. Alavi, Olga, Victor, Tri, and the entire staff are professional, kind, and supportive. The office assisted me with sinus issues I have been having all of my life which impacted my ears, nose, and throat. Initially after the procedure, I can notice the improvement in breathing. I have been very happy and impressed with the practice and highly recommend them..

Dr. Alavi is a professional in many ways. Even though the office waits can run long in the afternoons, the staff make up for it in their efforts to get insurance referrals and are genuinely nice people. I have had three ear surgeries with three different doctors and Dr. Alavi ranks at the top.

Dr. Alavi and his staff were friendly, efficient, and helpful. Dr. Alavi was able to diagnose a problem I’d had for several years. Following minor surgery I’m feeling 100% better. Very grateful for Dr. Alavi’s skill and care.

It's rare to find a doctor that really listens to your problems, takes the time to ask the right questions and then comes up with an accurate plan of attack. Dr. Alavi is that doctor. I had a rhinoplasty done to straighten my nose that was far from straight. It came out BEAUTIFULLY and I tell everyone that will listen to go see him. His staff told me that he is in the process of opening another office in Santa Barbara as well. Whether you live in Ventura or Santa Barbara and if you have any Ear, Nose, Throat or facial plasty issues, I can't impress on you enough to go see him.

Very happy with the surgery that Dr. Alavi performed for me. I have had several sinus infections a year for 30 years, was always congested and lots of polyps. Dr. Alavi removed the polyps and dialated my sinus cavities and I have never been congested since. It was truly a life changing surgery for me. I would recommend anybody to see Dr. Alavi for any type of ENT problems they may have. Thank you Dr. Alavi.

He left me with nerve damage in my neck and brought in out of network providers during the surgery that are now billing me outrageous sums of money.
