Reception. Rude. Doctor appeared insulted by my asking questions. Got up and walked out. I had to ask if the appointment was over. There is a reason you can get a quick appointment.

office assistance very rude and snarky when asked questions. Doctor rude and did nothing really to help my situation. I refuse to go back only lengthening my time to be seen by another doctor because he was so unprofessional. I would not recommend this doctor of office to anyone.

I went to Dr Samini for help of constant crawling and lesions on my skin, He took 5 minutes with me, didn't look ay my skin, assumed I had Delusional parasitosis, When I refused psychotropic meds, he just got up and left the room, Didn't say our appt is over, just left the room with no closure , What arrogance! Turns out I had worms, Doctors who treat people like this shouldn't have a license or be allowed to even see people with unusual problems..

Didn't spend much time with me in coming up with his conclusion to a very serious problem ( and he was wrong),. , he gave me a quick recommendation and walked out of the room without saying or signaling he was done or anything. At the very least, it seems like a Dr. should say he is done, finished with the appointment, whatever, But don't just walk out with the patient not knowing the appointment is even over! All you have to do is say, "I have to go".

My Husband went to see this doctor knowing what was wrong and asking for a wart to be removed so that he could walk without pain. We specifically asked if this could be done the same day sinse we already knew what it was and tried evrything else. After seeing the doc my hubby called to tell me that even though he can't walk on his foot without pain he wants him to try the same tratment we've tried for 6 weeks and if that doesn't work to come back and have it froze off! Unbelievable, now we will be going on vacation and he won't hardly be able to walk!!!

Many members of my family have used Dr. Samimi for years. He is very friendly, spends a great deal of time with each patient and does not overschedule. Therefore the office wait time is short. He seems to truly care about his patients.
