Dr. Reza Yavari, MD

Dr. Yavari is a really nice guy, the pros of seeing him is that he doesn't charge you for missed appointments. The cons are, he doesn't pay attention as to why you are there in the first place, he's too busy talking about what he does on his off time. He forgets to schedule you for labs. So if you don't know you need lab work, you'd be in a pickle with a Doctor like him. You'll never get lab work! Follow ups, are non-existent! His office never follows up with you for appointment after lab work, so you don't really know if you are at the right dose or on the right medication. The office staff is just like Dr. Yavari, mediocre, they don't answer the phone, their out going message is, "We will get back to you in 24 hours". I've got to find another Endocrinologist! I just can't do this with them.

Dr. Yavari is my favorite doctor! He's so caring and kind. He really listens to me when I talk about how I'm feeling and does his best to help when I'm not doing well. He never gets mad at me if I gain a pound because I'm having personal issues and he talks to me like a friend, not a doctor. I am always smiling when I leave his office. Definitely 5 stars, all the way!

Unlike other doctors who seem to rush through appointments, Dr. Yavari is very thorough and answers all your questions. Although I came to him only for a thyroid problem, he has helped me lower my cholesterol and my A1C, and I've lost 18 pounds in a year.

Does he go off topic on a tangent sometimes. Yes! Does he forget as to why you are there in the first place? Yes! Does he forget to schedule you for lab work and do follow ups making sure you are getting the right medication at the right dose? Yes! But this doctor won't charge you for missed appointment and that I appreciate.

I would get, if I were lucky, 5 minutes discussing my issues and 10 minutes listening to his resume and adventures. Bragging here, name dropping there. So many times he could not find my latest lab work and had to hunt for it. I found him very lackadaisical and distracted. Office staff mediocre at best. There are better doctors elsewhere.

Dr Yavari's office staff told me he had a weight loss plan for vegetarians. When I met with Dr Yavari, I made it clear I wanted a vegetarian plan that I could sustain for life. But, he makes you pay and sign a non-refundable contract before he gives the plan. So, I signed the contract in good faith and paid in full. When I was handed the Beyond Care plan, I was shocked because it was mainly fish and animal products in extremely large amounts (115g a day). He did not have a 1,000 calorie a day vegetarian plan: the Beyond Care plan is not for vegetarians. He refused a refund. The non-refundable contract should be a big red flag to anyone considering Dr Yavari's Beyond Care weight loss program.

Dr. Yavari went above and beyond to make sure I got premium care. He helped me overcome major metabolic disorders, thyroid problems and so many others. I am now off all medications (except thyroid) and doing very well. I had PCOS and therefore infertility. I am now expecting. I moved and can no longer see him but I still have not found a Dr. who has the knowledge, time and dedication I got from him. All my best Dr. Yavari!

I was out of control and the labs were not good. When I met with Dr. Yavari I asked him if the issues were fixable, he said yes. I did what he told me and the rest as they say is history. I've lost over 50 lbs in about 6 months but more importantly learned how to not use food as a crutch. I not only lost weight but got an out of control situation with diabetes arrested. Thanks Dr. Y.
