Dr.Saeed Sadeghi bullies patients that he is unable to diagnose. Instead of referring out the cases that he can't handle,
He just bullied me and was very condescending. He said I wasn't sick even though I had been being treated for 20 yrs at Harvard University. He had my records and test results and Dr.s notes from world specialists confirming blood issues.
Thank goodness after my 3rd disappointing appt. with Dr Saeed Sadhegi I was able to be referred to a top hematologist in Los Angeles that has saved my life and is finally treating my many confirmed blood disorders. I think that Dr.Sadhegi needs to be investigated by UCLA and an outside unbiased company as well. My new Hematologist says he constantly hears validated complaints about Dr Saeed Sadhegi's misconduct and bullying when patients or staff tried to report him. And that in Hematology Drs groups they have sent letter after letter warning UCLA of Dr Sadeghis exploits and to please investigate him with an indepent medical review team.To no avail.

Dr. Sadeghi was rude and condescending and had no bedside manner and is an awful listener.He misdiagnosed me and that caused me to have severe health problems.
When I complained to UCLA patient services about Dr Sadeghi, being rude and was talking down to me and then misdiagnosing me,
Well,then I started getting harrassed by his friends that are also Dr.s at Santa Monica UCLA. I went to the UCLA Santa monica ER
2 years after I saw Dr Sadhegi for an unrelated health issue and was harassed by 2 Male Dr friends of his.
2 separate ER drs told me "Saeed Sadeghi is their good friend and their racketball buddy and why did I give him a poor review?"
My care that ER visit was awful due to those 2 Dr Friends of Dr Sadeghi that were harassing me in the ER triage and harassing me after I was admitted to the ER.
Dr Sadeghi's" racketball buddy," Dr Chris Soriano,a resident in the ER,was terrible,and gave me the wrong meds that were meant for a different ER patient and then Upper UCLA adminstrationsion had to come in to the ER to assist me getting the proper care that every ER patient should be recieving.. The UCLA CEO even apologized to me for my treatment in the ER. and were very nice to me when they admitted me to the hospital from the ER .
Dr.Chris Soriano continued my whole ER visit to keep telling me he didnt appreciate my bad review of his good buddy and gym partner Dr Saeed Sadhegi,even yelling at me at one point and the head nurse had to get between us because Dr.Soriano was yelling at me so loud.

Uncaring, lack of initiative and apathy are the words I would use to describe Dr. Sadeghi. He did not seek consultation or additional treatment options when he had limited knowledge or expertise to treat my sister’s cancers. He did not listen to my sister as the patient, lacked concern for her overall wellbeing, seemed jaded, and lacked in empathy and compassion. He did not engage in best practice on behalf of the patient and was not forthright regarding the patient’s condition and prognosis, particularly to discuss end of life with patient when the treatments were ineffective. Due to his ineffectiveness as my sister’s oncologist, she and our family had to resort to researching additional treatment and other, more qualified professionals for consultation.

Stay away from this condesending, arrogant, dismissive, cold physician.
He failed in all areas of patient care and did not refer to fellow UCLA specialist who was needed to correct Saeed's blatant mistakes.
He lacks compassion and has no warmth, empathy or bedside manner. I geel sorry for patients being referred to him. He needs to retire from medicine.

I am lodging a formal complaint against Dr. Sadeghi. I was referred to him from another UCLA specialist as part of obtaining a diagnosis and treatment of a difficult condition. On the initial visit, he started off being somewhat condescending, and my gut told me that this was not going to be a good option for care. Sure enough, when I came in for the third visit, he opened the door, saw me, and shook his head basically to show that he was not happy I was there to ask for further help. After I asked him what could be done or tested further, his response was that he treats sick people and he didn't think I was really sick because I didn't have cancer or a blood condition. He said that I should not focus on my symptoms (even though a previous doctor asked me to keep a log of them). When I brought up my abnormal blood test results, he said that they were not really that far beyond normal range. He basically told me that I wasn't sick and that he could not do anything for me. I asked him for a referral to another specialist, and he said again that I was not sick. I have since been diagnosed with a definite illness and I'm being treated by a doctor outside of UCLA. Yes, I was sick even though Dr. Sadeghi wanted me to ignore my symptoms and just give up trying to find the answers. I cannot understand why he is allowed to be associated with UCLA. My experience with him was hands-down the worst I've ever had with a doctor. I hope that UCLA responds to my formal complaint and that he is not allowed to treat anyone else as poorly as I have been treated by him.

I am so thankful for Dr. Sedghi. He listens, takes the time to answer all questions, and explain everything until my mother was comfortable. Thank You!
