BIJAN ZARDOUZ, MD REVIEWS

I recommend Dr. Zardouz highly to anyone seeking a neurologist who has deep medical expertise but also truly listens. From the very first visit, I felt heard, understood, and cared for. He took the time to go through my symptoms in detail, asked thoughtful questions, and explained things in a way that made complex neurological issues easy to understand. What stood out most was his calm, compassionate bedside manner and his extensive knowledge. He never made me feel rushed, and his genuine concern was evident throughout the entire appointment. Very positive experience.

An absolutely amazing physician and an even better person. Dr Zardouz is an exceptional practitioner, heads above the rest. He has the perfect bedside manner because he interacts with you not as a provider but as a person. He went beyond what one would expect. We need to copy this remarkable individual and put him in every clinic.

One of the greatest to do it. Dr Zardouz was very detailed in explaining the process and the test. He made my experience fell very comfortable. Wealth of knowledge and experience.

BAHAREH BONYADI, DO REVIEWS

This review is based on Dr Bonyadi being the neurologist for 2 of my family members. For one, it's been 6 years. She is THE MOST caring and competent doctor ever. She knows her stuff and leaves no rock unturned. Both of my family members love how she is with them, as well as her care. She is one smart dr. I do agree that the office staff is hard to talk to, understaffing is an issue. Having her own practice and accepting Medicare probably does not leave alot of profitability for a huge staff. I am grateful she is a private practice! I know she does her best. I too wish she ran on time, and they picked up the phone and returned calls better, but the trade off is she spends whatever amount of time a patient needs to really help, vs, "your 20 min is up, come back" like some doctors do. She has given us great advice, had extra tests run to find things no other doctor did. As a family we are truly grateful her!.

Dr. Bonyadi is the best neurologist I have seen so far. (And I had seen so many) she takes the time to listen to you and to explain in details. Very smart, knowledgeable and empathetic with her patients. She’s awesome !

Great doctor, waited a while for my appointment but I was not disappointed. I was so concerned my symptoms would be dismissed but she is trying to get to the root of the problem.

MARTIN J. BACKMAN, MD REVIEWS

Dr. Backman has been a phenomenal neurologist based on my experience. I went through a recent health issue that was resolved during an emergency visit, and I am incredibly grateful for his expertise. He was knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly. On top of that, he is very personable and made a stressful situation much easier to handle. Highly recommend.

Thank you Dr. Backman for your patience with my mom. She had so many questions about her condition. You answered all of them, plus your all your staff very attentive; especially Patricia. Thank you all.

Dr. Backman and his staff are professional, kind, and knowledgeable. I was able to get a neurology appointment with him for my mother within 24 hours. Dr. Backman was attentive and listened to our concerns and her symptoms, and has followed up with her patiently. I highly recommend him.
