“Very good doctor, but it was difficult to schedule appointments because he was only available 2 days a week.
Front desk was not very friendly, not one hello or smile.”
Yuri K.February 8, 2026
“Absolutely loved this doctor, would recommend him to anyone who needs an Allergist that will listen to their concerns. I have had doctors push off other issues or not consider more than one diagnosis, but Dr. Rahimian is great at communicating and teaching. I would also recommend him to people who are easily spoke over, or have had other issues with doctors not fully acknowledging what you say. Truly appreciated him and the ladies at the front desk were great as well.”
