Best Doctor Appt Ever ! Easy parking, welcoming waiting room & friendly front & back office team. Dr. Khaleghi took his time to listen to my concerns & asked me very specific questions & he explained to me his method of treating hShow moreis patients: I don’t treat based from what lab work is indicating ( solely ) , I treat the person in front me - what symptoms they are experiencing & from examining them ex: fingers, wrists, knee motion… he provided education including diagrams on his computer to help me better understand what likely is causing my pain & mobility challenges. Two or three times I was in tears because a Dr was listening to my history & current daily experiences AND he understood one particular genetic piece of my specifics that other doctors had not previously . He put forward options that may help me to live a more mobile & less pain-filled life! Tears come now as I share this with you: Dr Khaleghi Gave Me HOPE again! Yes, it seems I have a degenerative situation, but now I have Hope restored from 1 mtg with Dr. Khaleghi & that for me is Priceless. I’m so thankful I waited weeks to get this appt & didn’t choose a dif Dr who could see me right away. I left my appt encouraged & with a plan & first step to be implement that day & referrals for me to take the next steps in gathering images & adding a pain mgmt. Dr to my team so I can look forward to my future not live in discouragement. It sounds like an exaggeration maybe, but for me it’s not - meeting with Dr Khaleghi changed my life - I have a chance to Thrive now & my family & friends already have noticed a big change in me, I’m lighter & more positive. Is my experience day to day still challenging , yes, has it improved Yes & I thank Dr Khaleghi for this! I am fortunate to have him as a hero in my life’s journey! You can too - I highly recommend Dr. Khaleghi, he’s really invested in treating you as a person, & I’m so thankful.
★★★★★ A Rheumatologist Who Truly Listens—and Changes Lives After years of suffering and going through what felt like a revolving door of specialists, I finally found Dr. Khaleghi. Before him, I was tested and evaluated for everytShow morehing from MS to lupus, yet I continued to struggle without answers or a clear understanding of what was happening to my body. Dr. Khaleghi changed that. He took the time to actually listen—not just to my symptoms, but to my story, my experiences, and the many pieces that other specialists had overlooked. He identified my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and fibromyalgia, finally giving a name and explanation to years of unresolved suffering. What makes Dr. Khaleghi exceptional is not only his medical knowledge, but his open-mindedness, compassion, bedside manner, and willingness to stay current. He is remarkably receptive to emerging information, including neurological perspectives, specialist podcasts and research, meditation and mind-body approaches, severe hypersensitivities, and the potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis. I never feel dismissed or judged for asking questions or bringing something new to the conversation. Instead, I feel heard and respected. Trust is incredibly important to me, and Dr. Khaleghi has earned mine completely. He is thoughtful, considerate, and genuinely invested in understanding his patients. I would follow him to the ends of the earth. And his staff deserves recognition too. He has surrounded himself with what I can only describe as superstars. Maria, in particular, has been wonderful—quick to respond when I have medication questions and always helpful when I need clarification. There is something especially meaningful about his name: Khaleghi means “Creator.” In my experience, he truly lives up to it—not because he simply gave me a diagnosis, but because he helped create something I had been missing for years: understanding, validation, direction, and hope. After years of searching, I finally feel like someone sees the whole picture. Five stars hardly seem enough. Dr. Khaleghi is a rare physician, and I am profoundly grateful that I found him.
