I visited this "Dr." to see if he could clean the wax out of my ears. While in the exam room he pulled out some sort of scope with a light on it and stuck it up my nose without any explanation of what he was doing or how much it would cost. When the appointment was over i paid my co-pay and left. A month later i get a bill for over $300 for a "nasal endoscopy" procedure which i never asked for or wanted. A complete scumbag. If you decide to do business with this jerk make sure you know what he is doing at all times as he clearly does not care to tell you before doing something that will cost you hundreds of dollars.

I went to see Dr Falsafi because of a lymph node that wasn't going down. He checked me out and got my medical records for review. Since there was nothing definitive on this node, we discussed surgery. I wanted to do this, since I would get an answer for sure what was happening inside. During my initial exam he also told me about some other things happening and said we could talk about them later. He took care of me and made me feel safe and that I was a person not a number.
