Dr Behnam Khaleghi took the time to listen to my problems. He understood the importance of my needs he explained in full detail on how to treat the problem at hand. It’s crazy but after being in pain for more than 3 weeks my pain Show moresubsided 50% by the time i left his office. In my opinion his is a Diamond in the Rough it is truly difficult to find a good Doctor these days not too many left out there with knowledge and experience. I will recommend him to my friends and family God bless him and his staff they are wonderful people. Mansour. M 09/13/2025

I’ve been diagnosed with Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. He told me that he doesn’t believe the past doctors/bloodwork of the previous five years. He told me that all the test are false positives. He didn’t order any tests himself. He claims he treats the patient not the blood work. He told me to stop all of my medication’s because in his opinion, I don’t have lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. In his words… I don’t have lupus because I don’t have a failed kidney and I don’t have rheumatoid arthritis because my hands are not deformed. He offered no help besides suggesting that I get on an antidepressant. I called the office to request his report to be sent to me. His notes/report are completely false. He claimed that I denied certain symptoms, which is a flat out lie. I’ve never felt so humiliated and dismissed. Even if I just had fibromyalgia… He did not suggest anything to help me besides an antidepressant. Doctors like this should not be in practice. Unbelievable.
Excellent Doctor! Listens and then works on what he heard me say! Also first class staff! Quick follow up and great communication skills from everyone involved! I highly recommend this doctor and this entire practice!
Dr Khaleghi is a very caring and knowledgeable, he spends valuable time with his patients. Definitely i recommend him to my friends and family.
Very thorough and caring provider. Recommended.
