I've been going to Dr. B for more than 12 years. He takes really good care of me, as though I'm part of his family. I NEVER feel like he's overcharging me, or cares about money more than his patients. His staff, especially Erma is very friendly and professional.

Dr. Babaknia was great at explaining the procedure that I needed to get done. My appointment was within a couple days after the first consultation. He told us right away his findings in the colonoscopy. We scheduled a follow-up appointment to get results and explained everything in detail. Overall he was great! His staff is also very helpful!

Dr. Babaknia charged me $1000 to laser my wife's hemorrhoids. He did the treatment in two visits. Within two weeks of the second treatment my wife's hemorrhoid was actually worse. I asked for my money back, but his reply was, "sue me." He wouldn't even do any follow treatments to make good on his representations. This man is a fraud and anyone considering using him should stay away!

I've been going to him for years. Thank god that 6 years ago he noticed some issues with me and had me checked for cancer. Well if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here right now. He found non hodgkin lymphoma and later after more testing bone marrow cancer. I was in City of Hope 9 months and survived. All thanks to Dr Babaknia
