Dr. Joni Noel Kaighobadi, DO

Dr. K was the only doctor to correctly diagnosis my child and help us to begin to live our new normal.

Dr. K was very helpful and concerned about all my medical needs.However, the office staff is rude and inefficient. I have a major chronic illness, and have tried for 8 days following my appointment to get the prescriptions that she prescribed during my appointment. I have left daily messages at all the offices, talked to staff two times daily, had promises made and broken. I would never leave this practice if this was the first time, but I went through this same problem three months ago. As much as I love Dr. K, I must look for other care giving staff.

I saw Dr Kaighobadi at the Hallandale Beach clinic and I was not satisfied with the quality of care I received. After discussing in detail the symptoms I was experiencing, I felt the doctor brushed off my complaints and concerns and I was not taken seriously. She then stated the health clinic needed to protect its financial bottom line and further diagnostic testing would be limited leaving me to conclude that my health needs were of secondary importance. I had to actually plead to have a complete blood test performed. Additionally, my urinalysis revealed the presence of occult blood (a potentially serious symptom) and I did not even receive a phone call from this doctor to recommend further testing.

Do not waste your time. If you do not have a Doctor yet dind an other one. Horrible staff, very disrecpectfull. Waiting time is hours!!!! Diagnosis are horrible and not accurate. How can they still be open????

Nice personality, but not an effective or reliable physician. I was passing blood, and phoned a gastroenterologist who has served me for 12 years. His assistant juggled appointments to work me in for the next day, but reminded me that I needed a referral from my primary doctor. I tried for the next 24 hours to obtain a referral. The girls in the office told me I would have to come into the office to get the referral, which they said would be waiting for me. I went in and waited 30 minutes. No one seemed to know anything about my problem. I was told that Dr. K. was busy, and that someone else would help me. A young doctor I had never seen before asked what he could do for me. It was then 15 minutes before my scheduled appointment with the gastroenterologist. I told the doctor I was just there to pick up a referral which was supposed to have been waiting for me, and I looked at my watch and told him my appointment was in 15 minutes. He told me I had a lot of nerve demanding a referral at… the last minute. He never even asked what my symptoms were. He refused to give me the referral. I never heard from Dr. K.

She spoke only in broad generalities during all five times I went to see her. She talked only about general health as though reading from a lesson plan, but there was nothing specific about me. She seemed more interested in showing her own knowledge that in really being able to evaluate me clinically, I came out if every meeting feelingnI had wasted my time, nothing about why my glands are swollen, nothing for my as id reflux, never even responded when I mentioned it twice. At one point she even told me I should be sure not to smoke because of new studies about nicotine.- and I am someone who has never even tried cigarette...you are way better off seeing an average physician assistant that this dilatorious doctor.

After extensive searching she exceeded my expectations. Immediately affected by herpositive awareness,she knew exactly where I was in distress with just a touch of her hand. She deserves her own family practice as the one in a million osteopathic doctorwhich every intelligent family needs to depend on for the ultimate urgent or preventitive care as a caring professional.

That is where she works in Boca Raton. She is an ok doctor but I would not recommend anyone to that Intermed Clinic. Even if you have an appointment you have a minimum of a 2 hour wait; the office staff is very rude and incompetent; horrible atmosphere. There are many PA's there and they will see you without even telling you that are NOT a doctor. That clinic is the pits.
