Dr. Homayoun Akhavan-Saraf, MD

Answered my questions, took time with me, was professional and fast. I could tell his experience level. He was great.

I have diagnosed endometriosis, its been in my chart since 2021 and i went in needing help with pain and possible cysts. He told me he did not believe i had endometriosis and told me i just needed to live with the pain. He also said to me(an 18 year old girl) that I could just get pregnant and that would help symptoms. When he came in he didnt ask me my name or DOB didnt ask my pain level or my symptoms/concerned. Lied in the after visit summary as-well that i said i had no urination problems, no abdominal discomfort, etc. all of which i had and he did not ask about. He was in and out in about 2 minutes!

My first visit with Dr. Saraf he seemed really nice. Upon my second visit he seemed annoyed that my PCP referred me to him. Saraf ordered tests anyway but then when those test results came back he referred me back to the PCP who was no longer with the clinic. He gave very little communication. I will say his assistant was great.

This was the second time I've seen this doctor and only because mine was unavailable. He was rude and tried to belittle me and my pain. He was not helpful and made me feel like an inconvenience. Worst experience with a doctor I've ever had.

Great doctor! He has been correct in my diagnosis when know one else has.

Dr Saraf was on the on call doctor when I was in labor with my son. My OB was out of town and he went home when I was at a 7! Well I did not hit 8 or 9 so the nurse delivered. He came in, delivered the placenta and left. Maybe two words were said total and he was there for a total of about 10 minutes. Wish he wouldn't have just wasted his time coming in. I preferred the nurse!

I was referred to Dr. Saraf when my GP identified that I had a substantial fibroid issue. Let me first say that I don't need my doctor to be my emotional support, or my cheerleader --I have family & friends for that. I need my doctor to provide the information that only a medical professional can provide, and the skill to do something about it. Dr. Saraf did that for me in a way that I absolutely appreciated. He is professional, articulate, concise, and understandable. His approach through my recovery from surgery was a conservative one, holding me on ice then clear liquids longer, as a means of controlling the process for a successful outcome. I agree with his approach and am grateful for his results. I highly recommend Dr. Saraf and feel very fortunate to have found him.
