Dr. Jamal Modir, MD

Very kind doctor and staff. Would recommend to all friends and family.

I wasn't sure how to rate this guy. My initial contact with him was great. Very friendly, took a lot of time explaining my issue, hernia. Surgery went as planned, but that's when things went down hill. At first I was healing fine, but about 3 weeks out I was in severe pain. I called and spoke to Fran. She asked me if I needed to go to the emergency room...I said I don't know should I? She said you can but its going to be very expensive. At that point I didn't care about expense. She said I must have a low pain tolerance so she prescribed me more pain pills. After two weeks of severe pain I finally called back and said I needed to see Dr. Modir. Fran seemed irritated but made the appointment. It took him 30 seconds to say oh, you have an infection! So basically I was in severe pain for two weeks due to an infection, but Fran just gave me pain pills and said I had low pain tolerance. So, I took the antibiotics, but my pain only got a bit better. The infection went away, but now I have… nerve pain. I went back to him, but he basically said there was nothing he could do. He also said you have a low pain tolerance, you just need to get over it and get on with your life. Go back to the gym ! Um, I could barely walk, let alone work out. So I said goodbye and contacted a pain management dr. I am now on some meds that help with nerve damage. So, if all goes well he's probably a good doctor, but if something goes wrong BEWARE. He will have little sympathy for your situation.

Very friendly and knowledgeable. Experienced and caring. Spends time with me and is a friend. Best experience with any dr. hands down.

Best Doc in the Bay Area for years.

Worth the wait. Great follow up and knowledgeable. Becomes a friend quickly.

Great doc!

I visited this doctor for the first time. He is a humble very intelligent and caring doctor who spends as much time with you as needed. I will be referring him to my coworkers.
