I am so shocked Dr. Rafi only has a rating of 3.6. I first saw Dr. Rafi 11 years ago and have had to see him again recently. He is so knowledgeable and explained way more than my other allergist ever did. Dr. Rafi was on time and his admin was super friendly as well. I honestly left my appointment wanting to hug Dr. Rafi for being such a warm, caring, informative, and gentle dr. He is rare in the world of medicine nowadays. I could also overhear him with another patient and he was answering all of the guy's questions. Wonderful doctor and so surprised he would have anything less than a 5 star review.

Dr. Rafi-Zadeh stands out as one of the most kind, gentle and caring doctors I have had the pleasure of meeting. He took the time to listen to my concerns and was empathetic. Then administered the allergy testing (which I was scared of) in a very professional and gentle manner. Explained the results thoroughly and even diagnosed me with a skin condition I never knew of. He was very knowledgeable and helpful, I left feeling great with the positive experience.
In addition, while I was waiting prior to my appointment, I overheard a loud woman who was hysterically upset about her young child having allergies, and he was very patient and supportive.
I admit the office is pretty old and outdated with odd decor, but that does not take away from the fact this allergist is excellent.

Although I found the receptionist a bit short and hard to deal with, Dr. Rafi-Zadeh was extremely helpful. He was able to diagnose what previous allergists were unable to effectively notice/diagnose, and I am now on my way to recovery. He was extremely punctual, professional, and thorough in his explanation. He was more than happy to answer my questions, whereas an allergist I'd seen a month or two seemed to stick to a script and was unable to deviate to see a larger problem (which I was unaware of until I saw Dr. Rafi-Zadeh). Turns out, I'm not allergic to everything on earth, I have dermographism that may go away with time. Explains the sudden onset, all over itching, and so on and so forth.
Thanks!

I found Dr. Rafi-Zadeh to be knowledgeable and thorough. I went in for allergy testing and he booked me in for a number of other tests. I can see how someone might disagree with his demeanor but he was fine for me. You're looking for a doctor, not a friend.

My experience was bad, the office is really dirty and unhealthy to go. He only keeps talking and never diagnose the main problem. Everything is dusty and dirty there. Patients may ger more disease there.

My experience was excellent. Dr. Rafi-Zadeh is a very knowledgeable, kind and helpful Allergist. Related skin symptoms include areas along the abdomen, under the breasts/bra line, underarms etc. So, questioning or examining these areas are normal. He was able to quickly determine how stress, close fitting clothes, and medications contributed to my skin allergies.

Absolutely terrible experience! Do not go to this doctor! We read the negative reviews and fortunately were able to question his diagnosis and got a second opinion.

The worst doctor experience I have ever had. This doctor is a misogynist who you should only go to if you enjoy being interrupted and talked down to. He asked the same questions several times because he kept interrupting me, disregarded my life threatening allergy and was all over the place with testing and treatment. Front desk staff is wildly unprofessional. I will never return here.

Kind, efficient, to the point. I don't understand the negative reviews.
