Dr. Shahla Parveen Rah, MD

Dr. Rah is amazing! No other doctor has taken the time to run the necessary tests in order to figure out what is causing my pain. I have been suffering for about 20 years and now Dr. Rah is helping me figure out the source of my pain. I feel confident that she will help me find a cure or at least a treatment that will help to alleviate the pain. I would highly recommend Dr. Rah.

I have had hemorrhoids removed from Dr. Rah several years ago and now again just recently. Before I visited her I had no idea that hemorrhoids could be removed so easily and thought I would just have to live with them. Thankfully she was able to rid me of this problem quickly and with very little discomfort. Thanks Dr. Rah!

For anyone that had any GI issue, you might've experienced that it is challenging to book an appointment with GI specialist. I was in worse pain of my life, and could not get any doctor to see me right away. That's when I found Dr. Rah! Her office staff was very understanding of my pain level, and was able to see me right away when no other doctors could. She had treated me, educated me of the process, she is a life saver for me. I recommend Dr. Rah to both female & male patients who is suffering from any hemorrhoid, fissures, any Gastro issues. Thank you Dr. Rah for being a great doctor!

Great people person doctor. Interested in all areas of patient"s health.

Dr. Rah was very helpfuld and thorough...she explains everything in detail. Her dog actually is a therapy dog and is great treat to not only see doctor Rah but her dog too.

Dr. Rah is very friendly, warm, and caring. Brianne in the front office is very helpful and accommodating. She took care of my daughter very well. The procedure went well at Irvine Endoscopy center, and after the diagnosis, her symptoms were gone in 1 month! She was very knowledgeable about the condition and was great during the follow up as well. Can not thank her enough!

I went to see Dr. Rah with severe abdominal pain, gas, bloating and constipation. I scheduled my appointments later in the day so I wouldn't have to miss any work, and each and every time my presence seemed unwelcomed. The secretaries would comment multiple times on how they would like to leave early, and despite that I would still wait 45-60min to even get into an exam room. The doctor had her dog at the office, which I was fine with because I'm not allergic, but I could imagine how that would make others feel uncomfortable. What I disliked about the situation is that the dog was disruptive. It wondered into the exam room, begged for attention, and then when it wasn't getting any it would scrape incessantly at the door. Talk about unprofessional. Even though she was in my network she scheduled the colonoscopy in an out-of-network facility without clearing that with me. Needless to say a huge bill was waiting for me, but that wasn't even the half of it... She sold me… over-priced over the counter remedies out of her office, which was really inappropriate for a supposed "medical doctor" Also when ordering a gluten food allergy panel her office neglected to check one of the boxes on the request form and I was stuck paying full price for only half of the results from the test, and when I brought that to their attention they said I was free to shell out the full amount again to redo the test... I rated the doctors knowledge at 1 because she frankly did not inform me of anything that I didn't already know or had already easily looked up online. She seemed to consistently avoid coming to any conclusions during my appointments and would keep scheduling me to come in. She wanted me to take probiotics for a month and then see her again to discuss the results rather than perform any credible form medicine. If I wanted or thought my problem could be solved with natural remedies I wouldnâ??t be seeing a GI specialist. She also did not tell me that her contract with my insurance company expired while I was under her care and as such she is now charging me for a visit as an out-of-network doctor - upwards of $500 for a 10 minute office visit (the one where she told me they only had half the results of a $500 gluten food allergy panel). Needless to say Iâ??m still in pain regularly and have been traumatized from my experience under Dr. Rahmatullahâ??s â??care.â?? Iâ??m in the process of filling appeals for the ridiculous bills I have been charged with. I really hope my review will rightfully deter others from her practice in favor of better qualified doctors who can actually help and regard their patients with some courtesy.

This doctor is a joke. Makes patients wait over one hour per visit while she tends to her personal life. Her little dog is allowed in the office and in patient rooms too! She is crazy expensive, and honestly does not seem that knowledgable. Orders tests and scopes and basically tries to just put you on medication with no alternatives discussed. Absolutely zero confidence in her ability to treat gastro issues. I'm sure the 'med spa' that she runs out of the same office is doing well. Joke joke joke. Beware and seek another doctor.

Does not follow up, mis diagnosis & I almost went under having been diagnosed w/the wrong procedure if it wasn't explained to me before being anestitized. None of her procedures have worked on me & I've been going to the woman for over 2 yrs!!! Rude staff, uncalled for treatment & she can't even fill out the paperwork for my procedure. Obviously does not care for her patients, just her personal problems & how much she charges her patients each & every time they come back.

This Dr. Ra is the absolute worst. She shoves these forms to fill out how you liked everything before you are ever treated. Then sends them to all the rating sites to make her practice look good. I suffered from my lack of proper treatment from Dr. Ra. (She calls herself this). I laid all morning and half the afternoon on a gurney awaiting a procedure that she was supposed to perform and was told by one of the nurses that the procedure had been cancelled. I think Dr. Ra should have told me herself! In the middle of my first appointment when I was discussing my medical history there was a scratching sound at the door of the examination room. Dr. Rah said, "You can open it", and in came her dog to lay down on new my new shirt! I couldn't believe it! Dr. Ra said nothing. Then before leaving with Dr. Ra and all of her staff watching I was shoved one of the sheets that looks like the form above, to fill out. That is why she rates so high, she watches you fill it out. One last insult was… trying to sell me the nanogreen diet at an an enormous markup which I bought and it did nothing for me.
