I am originally from Iran, where I grew up and finished my medical training. I then immigrated to the U.S. and completed my training, which allowed me to follow my passion of learning about the brain and becoming a neurologist.

Where do I begin with Dr. Saghafi. Let me start, by giving you a bit of background. I had a severe concussion in October 2021 and was diagnosed with Covid in May 2022. There are so many examples of how poorly she treated me so I will just list a few. There was the time she told me to go to the ER when I had been struggling with a migraine for 8 days. There was the time she gave me only 4 days a month of Family Medical Leave Act off work when I told her I had been struggling with migraines for 15+ days a month. She also lectured me about how Covid clinics were not real and that Doctors who specialized in helping Covid patients did not exist. If you can go to any other doctor please do. She never truly believed I was telling the truth about my symptoms and I still struggle with them to this day.

Dr Saghafi has been my Neurologist for about 12 years , treating me for Myasthenia Gravis. Very warm and caring Dr who takes her time with her patients. Can’t imagine going to another Neurologist

I would give zero if I could. I wish I had never gone to this office. There are so many reasons not to see this doctor. she never took my problems seriously. every time when I brought some problems to her attention she started laughing at me. she is very unprofessional and treating the patient in a horrible way. DO NOT EVER GO TO HER.

Would never recommend Dr. Saghafi to any of my family or friends. She is rude and treats patients poorly.

Dr. Saghafi's interest in practicing neurology ends where small fiber neuropathies begin.
