Laur MK 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: After having severe GI issues for over a year, one hospital stay and headed back in, countless GI issues (including SIBO, internal bleeding, inability to eat, constant nausea, and difficulty breathing, trouble swallowing, malnourishment, etc), approx eight GIs told me my issues were anxiety/in my head. Finally, I found Dr Rahbar who immediately listened to and believed me. He immediately saw and realized the correlation of the GI issues triggering a bad case of MCAS, which was the cause of the severe breathing issues and developing allergies to every food or med I’d ingest. He broke treatment down into phases after thoroughly explaining myriad test results and what I was facing. He thoroughly explains the rationale behind each action he takes rather than just prescribing meds; he is working on getting my microbiome healthy. He prescribes supplements, in addition to meds, as well as offering nutritional guidance. He listens to how my specific body is reacting to each product we introduce and pivots when needed- he works with me like a team. He believes me and treats according what state I’m in as we introduce each new product or change dosage. He responds to concerns quickly and has made himself available despite his busy schedule. Andrea, who runs the main office couldn’t be more on top of her game. She also explains everything very thoroughly and doesn’t miss a beat. She has been a lifesaver when it comes to booking, working with me and my other health issues and appointments. Andrea has also been very kind and funny, and has been extraordinarily helpful. The entire staff is friendly and will always get a message through to the doctor when needed. I don’t say this lightly, but given how the state of my body and mind after a year of being severely ill and six months of feeling like I might die and living off of IVs, I truly don’t believe I would still be here without the efforts Dr Rahbar and staff have made to make me feel like a priority and address a multitude of complicated issues at once. I truly trust Dr Rahbar because I believe he truly cares and is highly intelligent and stays on top of the latest info. He’s been a true God-send. He is THE ONE if no one else can figure it out- I promise. I have been given reasonable expectations along the way; I’m still walking the long road to recovery but already, I am beyond grateful to have him as my doctor!

Fantastic experience: The office staff is great and Dr Rhabar identified my problem and I have seen rapid improvement. For years I have had a horrible non stop throat clearing thing that no one could figure out. After just a few weeks of the right treatment, it is 90% gone. Clearing up the problem has also given me better sleep, better digestion and better energy. I am very grateful!

Carrill Mckenzie 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Rahbar has treated my daughter's GI issues for over 10 years starting when she was first diagnosed with Lyme in 2015. She is considered to be a complicated patient due to her chronic lyme condition but Dr Rabhar has always treated her with such kindness and compassion. In addition to being a brilliant Doctor, he always makes time for her in between appointments when necessary and you can tell he genuinely cares for his patients when they are suffering. Truly a gift and light of hope during a difficult journey. He is also supported by incredible staff going above and beyond to help his patients. Forever grateful to this wonderful, kind and caring man.

Fantastic experience: Dr Rahbar hands down is the best doctor i ever had in my life .

Paarth Sharma 10 months ago

Negative experience: So i started seeing Dr Rahbar last year. Yes, he is expensive but no other doctor was able to help me out anyways so i tried giving him a try to see how it would go. His staff is great, andrea, kenneth and team does a great job of helping you out and your concerns. However, the real issue is still with the actual treatment. I was diagnosed with SIFO, Gerd and lyme and i was able to find a lyme doctor and get the treatment but issues with my small intestine and GERD still persist. My Gerd was TERRIBLE to the point i had trouble swallowing food but it was very difficult to get a prescription from Dr Rahbar which i hope he did early on and not wait as long as he did. Instead i spent 1000s of dollars on supplements which didn’t really help much and i was still in terrible pain and discomfort throughout. I’m not even entirely sure how much my candida and SIFO has improved because i’m still not to the point that i can eat wheat and dairy as normally as i used to, which as an indian was a staple of my diet until this sickness, and a lot of my symptoms still persist and as a last resort i’m going to go to india later this year to get treatment after spending excess of 12-13k which really stings. Heck, i’ve run out of space in my cabinet for another supplement bottle. I am saddened to admit that Dr Rahbar wasn’t able to help me as much as i had hoped for and that i have given up on his treatment now. Also i feel like my illness wasn't taken as seriously, Dr Rahbar would never come prepared for any appointment nor was I treated in a very humane manner. Edited after the response: I appreciate that Dr Rahbar personally took time out of his busy schedule to kindly reply to my review. I recall asking for tradiitonal therapy multiple times during my visits since the alternative therapy was never much effective and more costly. I have been doing everything i could on my end to overcome my issues many months before i started seeing Dr Rahbar. I came to him atleast 40% better all from my own efforts. All the hours and hours of studying that i had to do. Finding cases like mine and studying test cases and treatments. My Upper GI solutions ( to some extent ) i had to find on my own. The right dosages for my SIFO i had to figure out on my own, the right supplement combinations, supplement timings, the right doctor for my lyme treatment i had to find on my own ( there was no way i could have afforded the doctor that the practice suggested ). I try my very best to make every right choice every single day. I do not drink at all ( almost 3 years sober ), smoke ( never did ), i have given up so much on my food choices ( the ones that i grew up on which sucks ), i exercise everyday ( always did ), i have changed apartments, worked extremely hard throughout the suffering and managed to move to a low stress job and sooo much more and done everything i can on my own end to do what is necessary. My dissappointment is simply due to the fact that i do not believe Dr Rahbar put in that much effort for me. So many of my test results and especially my endoscopy report was never even discussed once. In terms of withholding treatment, i came to Dr Rahbar early april of 2023 and complained a lot about the fact that i am having a lot of upper GI symptoms and having trouble swallowing. It took Dr Rahbar over a month, at the end of may 2023 to prescribe me something and that too over the counter even after doing multiple tests and constant messaging that i’m in pain. I just personally feel abandoned throughout this process as i feel i did whatever i could but it was never a two way street as i still suffered throughout the process. The answer to most situations for me was “okay, let’s try this supplement bottle”. And i completely understand that the “Must Read” section saves the doctor from liability since that is of higher priority. :) Cordially and Respectfully, Paarth Sharma

With respect to patient privacy, I provide general information about our practice that readers would find valuable to better understand if our practice is the right choice for them. Our practice caters to patients with highly complex medical problems, generally those who feel “lost in the system.” Our greatest gratification is patients’ satisfaction, and we treat everyone with respect and compassion.
We take each patient’s case seriously by providing extended initial visit time that may go over two hours and extended follow-up visits in contrast to standard fifteen-minute visits in traditional clinics. Our visits are supported by access to the physician through secure patient messaging and after-hours by paging the physician through the phone paging system if needed. No one remains unattended when communicating with us and following the “rules of engagement” posted on our website. This way we can avoid communication breakdown as a team.
As a physician, I would not withhold treatment from a patient when there is a medical necessity. We aim to offer alternatives when a patient prefers alternative therapy to traditional therapy.
Recovery is a teamwork effort that involves physicians, staff, and the patient. There is always a reason for treatment failures. Such reasons may include environmental factors, life stressors, the availability of treatment modalities, dietary and lifestyle habits, patient choices, compliance, and more. While we strive for each patient to have the best outcomes, we cannot guarantee any outcomes. No practitioner can.
We take pride in supporting our patients as best we can by providing expanded information and sharing our experiences. This may not suffice for all. Clearly, there will be scenarios where, with all our efforts as a team, we fail. A small percentage of our patients did not believe that they benefitted from our interventions. Yet, in nearly all cases, people appreciated the stand we took for them in their efforts for recovery.
Our fees are commensurate with professional fees in the area. We invest significant time and effort in supporting each patient in their vision for recovery. We cannot depend on insurance companies.
I am disheartened to see even one soul with medical challenges. We aim to learn from what patients share with us and pray for all to find the right path for themselves.
Please read our website's “Must Read” section before becoming an established patient of our practice.
Cordially,

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar has been an absolute game-changer for me. After seeing multiple gastroenterologists who chalked up my symptoms to SIBO without success of an approach to treat me, Dr. Rahbar took a truly holistic approach. He helped uncover the root causes—which included mold exposure and tick-borne illnesses—that were keeping my body inflamed and unwell. His thorough care addressed not just the symptoms but the underlying issues, and working with him has completely changed my life. The staff are also amazing—so supportive and easy to work with throughout the process. I can’t recommend Dr. Rahbar highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar and Andrea saved my life. Dr Rahbar not only has a mission. He is one with you.

Brenda 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I love working with Dr. Rahbar and his team. Like many others, I struggled to get a diagnosis for my symptoms, and I often felt like I wasn't being heard by several doctors. This was even more challenging because I was living overseas at the time. When I found Dr. Rahbar, it felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. He took the time to listen, showed genuine care, and was able to identify the root of my symptoms. I followed his treatment plan, and it made a significant difference in my quality of life and overall well-being. Although I occasionally see Dr. Rahbar for check-ups, I feel like I’ve graduated from needing regular care.

Fantastic experience: My Son has been working with Dr. Rahbar since May 2024 and we are ecstatic with the care and protocol thus far. My son has been fighting CIRS and GI issues for 2 years, have gone to a plethora of doctors and have a folder 6 inches thick of tests, procedures and consultations. It wasn't until Dr. Rahbar took on my son's case, the needle is now moving in a positive direction. He has engineered a plan to get my son back to health and we have already seen positive results. He has seen my son twice in LA, and the remainder have been Telemed visits. Every protocol is well written out and he explains everything he is doing and what each element of the protocol is being utilized for. He has written a letter on behalf of my son for medical insurance coverage for procedures and/or prescription care. One thing that has impressed me is Dr. Rahbar's timeliness of returning messages or concerns. He exuberates confidence in his care for my son and based on the results thus far, this has instilled a positive mindset for my son. I can't recommend this practice enough INCLUDING his staff; especially Andrea for scheduling, billing, and helping me through the process. She has been so patient with me and always has a positive demeanor. Thank you ALL at LA Integrative Gastroenterology & Nutrition.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar and his staff are the most attentive and caring GI team I lave ever experienced. His integrative approach has helped me sustain remission. He spends an hour with me every time we need to meet and views our work as a collaboration. He takes the time to put the whole puzzle together and treats me like a whole person and individual. I am very grateful to him and his staff.

Tim Goll 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Rahbar is the greatest Dr I’ve ever met. I was sick for about 2 years with horrible GI symptoms before I found him. Nausea, bloating, sick to my stomach, weight loss, couldn’t digest anything. I saw 4 GI Doctors who were clueless. Most told me it was IBS and would try and treat symptoms with prescription drugs. They made things worse. My first visit with Dr Rahbar he listened to my story and my symptoms and he told me exactly what he thought was going on with me. After some simple lab testing (urine sample ) the results proved his hypothesis correct. He then came up with a plan for me to fix my issues and within 1 year I was feeling much better. Now 2 years later and I am 95-100% all thanks to him. I don’t know where I would be without him.

Ann Benjamin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have many unique issues and Dr. Rahbar has literally changed my life. I was in extreme chronic stomach pain and we couldn't figure out what was going on. He worked with me and we now have gotten to the point that my pain has significantly decreased and often is no longer affecting me. I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to see a Dr. that truly listens, and works WITH you, it's Dr. Rahbar. Thank you Dr. Rahbar.

Steven Sneddon 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Rahbar is amazing, by far the best Dr I’ve ever had. Before seeing Dr Rahbar I had an array of different health problems and I couldn’t figure out what was causing them, but after working with him, and identifying the problems, all my symptoms have gone away and I finally feel healthy again. A great doctor and an amazing person, forever thankful for Dr Rahbar for getting me healthy again.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar and his team are amazing. I’ll make a long story short, but I’ve had no relief for 6 years! (even working with multiple different doctors). Now that I’ve been working with Dr. Rahbar , I’ve finally had some relief from my chronic disease! I can’t wait for what the months and years to follow will bring. Dr. Rahbar is such a kind, smart and knowledgable man who really CARES about helping you get better and I could see that from the moment I had my first appointment with him. I’m so grateful I found him and his team, as I couldn’t imagine where I’d be right now in my health without them. I highly recommend Dr. Rahbar, I know you’ll be just as happy as I am that I found him. Thanks again you guys! :)

Ziv Simon 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I'm writing this on behalf of my wife, Laura, who has been struggling with stomach issues for many years. Dr. Rahbar has been very detailed and took his time to hear her concerns. He never gives up and comes up with great solutions. He's also been excellent with every procedure she's done with him with an uneventful recovery. He's extremely knowledgable in all aspects of medicine including western and also a whole body approach. I would highly recommend anybody who has been to many doctors and can't find a solution, go see Dr. Rahbar. He will be able to help you and find a solution to your problems.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of doctor Rahbar for approximately 10-years. Dr. Rahbar's personal care and attention to details is truly exceptional. Over the years, I have recommended Dr. Rahbar to all my family and friends.

Scott Jones 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have to be honest - I was a skeptic. I went to countless Doctors throughout Los Angeles and Southern California, in addition to visiting several Functional Doctors throughout California and Chicago. I finally decided to give Dr. Rahbar a try. From my first visit, he had a general diagnosis on what I may have been suffering from. Tests confirmed his suspicion and I started a protocol, which was a blend of Western medication and Herbal supplementation. I have now been with Dr. Rahbar going on two years and I am nearly 100% cured. I cannot overstate how compassionate, detail oriented and intelligent this man is. He has truly saved my life. He's absolutely incredible!

Chris Province 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have a complicated history of GI issues that no one has been able to find the cause of until I started working with Dr. Rahbar. The personalized care is fantastic and you really are treated as an individual. Not just a number.

Rhonda Snyder 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar has been treating me for over 15 years. Before I came to him I was doubled over on the sofa with stomach pains every day for about 4 hours in the afternoon and during the night. I always felt bloated and tried every food plan that existed, trying to eliminate foods that might worsen the symptoms. It was a long road, however he dealt with one issue at a time and helped my body to heal. I have been pain (and bloat) free for years now and I can eat just about anything. I feel healthy and strong. I am grateful to Dr. Rahbar for his exceptional professionalism, knowledge, understanding, experience, expertise, skill, and most importantly his kind demeanor. He takes his time and never makes you feel rushed. I like the fact that he continues to learn about what is new in the field, through attending conferences and reading new studies. I am also very impressed with his office staff. They are efficient, friendly, helpful, always answer the phone, and do exactly what they say they will, even though it is such a busy practice. I highly recommend Dr. Rahbar to anyone who is looking for the kind of doctor that is difficult to find these days. He really cares about his patients and is truly something special. Rhonda S.

Monica Delgado 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: ★★★★★ Los Angeles Integrative is a beacon of hope in the healthcare landscape! After enduring a decade of misdiagnoses and feeling like just another cog in the medical machine, finding Dr. Rahbar and his incredible team felt like discovering an oasis in the desert. From the moment I reached out, I was met with warmth, understanding, and genuine care. Dr. Rahbar's bedside manner is nothing short of exemplary. He takes the time to truly listen, to understand not just the symptoms but the person behind them. His thorough explanations, coupled with a genuine desire to empower patients, make every interaction invaluable. Instead of feeling like a passive participant in my own healthcare journey, I finally feel like an informed partner, thanks to Dr. Rahbar's dedication to educating and involving his patients in their treatment plans. Furthermore, the excellence of Los Angeles Integrative extends beyond Dr. Rahbar himself. The entire team exudes professionalism, compassion, and expertise. From the receptionists who greet you with smiles to the nurses who provide unwavering support, every member of the team plays a vital role in creating a welcoming and healing environment. In addition to the exceptional level of care, I also appreciate the holistic approach of Los Angeles Integrative. They understand that healthcare isn't just about treating symptoms; it's about addressing the root causes and promoting overall well-being. Dr. Rahbar and his team go above and beyond to explore all options, ensuring that each patient receives personalized care that aligns with their medical and financial interests. Overall, I can't recommend Los Angeles Integrative highly enough. If you're searching for a medical provider who prioritizes compassion, expertise, and patient empowerment, look no further. Los Angeles Integrative is truly a shining example of what healthcare should be.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar is hands down one of the best doctors out there! I've seen over 20 doctors and he's by far one of the most comprehensive and knowledgable MD's out there. He doesn't just try to fix the symptoms, but digs deep to understand and EXPLAIN clearly what he thinks the root cause is. I love that he understands herbs but also pharmaceuticals so he can come up with the right combinations that work. He is also humble and kind. Yes, he doesn't take insurance but paying out of pocket to see him has saved me agonizing trips to the MD's that are in network who can only spend a few minutes with you.

Luigi 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar is simply the best Doctor there is. I wish all doctors were like him! I'm so overjoyed I ran into his practice and I never felt that way about going to the doctor! After dealing with a variety of stomach issues for 6 years (as a result of antibiotics following a surgery), he essentially helped me heal within 6-9 months in a gentle and natural way. I did supplement his work with major lifestyle, nutrition, fitness, etc changes, which aided in my super speedy healing. But, overall, I feel the best and most energetic I've felt ever. Even though I now feel great, I still enjoy going into his office, speaking with him, and continuing the work to better health!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Fantastic experience: This man saved my life. Where do I begin? After a year of being severely sick with gut issues, body fatigue and chronic dizziness feeling like I am about to die at 28 years old being told by 10 plus doctors we do not know what to do, "your labs and scans are normal", drink gatorade. Quickly, I knew something was terribly wrong and I needed to find the root cause of my illness that was ruining my everyday life. I found Dr. Rahbar who was able to diagnose me with candida overgrowth, parasite infection and specifically Lyme disease within the FIRST FOLLOW UP and referred me to a lyme specialist for an aggressive treatment. He says he is only a GI doctor but he is a wizard. THIS MAN IS ON A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL. There should be a documentary about him and he is an example of what a true doctor is finding the root cause to help heal the world. Furthermore, Andrea is the best as well! and a huge shout out to Kent and April for their amazing service. Their team is extremely professional and on point with everything. If you second guess consulting him and are debating good luck trying to heal/understand your "mysterious" illness with another doctor.

Paige Lindgren 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar is the best doctor there is, he has truly changed my life. I first saw him when I was very ill about 2.5 years ago. I had been going from doctor to doctor and no one knew what was going on. I luckily was referred to Dr. Rahbar. He has spent so much time with me to really get to know my background and my specific case. He was also the first doctor who has ever validated my experience which was more appreciated than he could know. Because of him, I was able to get my life back. I am always so surprised how he is staying on top of new research and studies, every time I see him, he mentions something new. He is a GI doctor but has been able to help me with my thyroid, hormones, and weight. He is not pushy and always met me where I was at and is extremely respectful. If you see him, he will make sure he gets you an answer and solution.

Molly Cicola 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was like you, once. Reading Dr. Rahbar's glowing reviews on Google and thinking "Is he really that good? It really worth the money?" Well, the answer is yes. After my very first session, Dr. Rahbar had a hypothesis as to what was causing my issue, and provided a holistic treatment plan that cured me within 6 weeks. (And I was having increasingly bad gut issues for 8 years before I went to him.) Because Dr. Rahbar takes an integrative approach (eastern + western) he is able to identify problems that are not yet "accepted" by the greater medical community. I went to several (smart!) MDs, gastros, and nutritionists before, and they could not help. I highly recommend Dr. Rahbar and his practice to anyone with persistent gastro and digestive issues.

Fantastic experience: Doctor Rahbar understands the root causes behind my daughter's long time illnesses. Instead of treating symptoms, we are treating what actually causes her problems. Goodbye Chronic Illness. She is going to get well. No more suffering. As a follow up. My daughter still sees doctor Rahbar and is making amazing progress. Her brain fog is gone and she is able to work at a job and is feeling better and thinking better. Doctor Rahbar has referred us to other top Doctors for issues he tested but does not treat. She has a team that is finally making her life better.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Dr Rabhar and his stuff has been exemplary. They are practicing medicine in a very humane and holistic way. From the very first questions the doctor asked me during our teleconference I knew that this is a dignified man who cares about his profession and his patients.His treatment is carrying, understanding and gentle. My experience with doctors so far is prescribe a medication and send you away. This experience with Dr Rahbar was totally different and it gave me hope for the future and for medicine. I have no words to express my gratitude for been under his care. Thank you Elena Korakianitou

Fantastic experience: I visited Dr. Rahbar after having several GI and non GI complications over the years. On my first visit I was surprised how attentive his staff and Dr. Rahbar were to my needs. My initial visit when on for 2 hours as Dr. Rahbar asked detailed questions about my medical and personal history. It spoke to his holistic approach to find deeper issues that were affecting me which no other doctor had asked before. Living overseas also draws on new complications and treatment options (medicine, visits, etc.), however, he has worked with telemedicine before covid (amazing). After several lab tests, I walked away with a newfound sense of relief and resolve to find my root cause for my issues. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: My first visit with Dr Rahbar left me feeling hopeful. It’s very refreshing to meet with a doctor who listens intently, asks a lot of questions, and offers encouragement and recommendations. I’m looking forward to my follow up appointment to receive the results of the tests the doctor ordered to try to get to the root of the problem. While medications are offered, they weren’t shoved down my throat. I felt heard and know I was “seen,” by not just the doctor, but all of the staff. I highly recommend LA integrative Gastroenterology and in fact, am encouraging my mom to set up an appointment, too! **Update I’ve been working with Dr Rahbar for about a year now and my gut health has improved drastically. At the time of my first appointment, I had zero motility; now I’m able to go daily! I had a terrible case of SIBO, infection in my mouth that was going into my gut, and mold in my sinuses and my gut. No wonder I was having so many issues! I had been to countless doctors who only diagnosed me with IBS - and did very little testing. I had a colonoscopy and was tested for celiac, both showing negative results for anything. Dr Rahbar is truly the most knowledgeable, caring, helpful doctor I’ve ever met and I’m beyond blessed to be under his care!

Fantastic experience: You will not find a more caring, compassionate, and smart doctor like Dr. Rahbar!! This man goes above & beyond for his patients. He truly is the greatest doctor I have every worked with in 10yrs of chronic illness. I feel so fortunate to have him as part of my complex care team. He is one of kind, and you will not meet another doctor like him in 2020 most don't practice medicine the way he does. He is a true gem and great gift to the medical community and the patients he serves!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar and his team are absolutely amazing! My mother and I have been sick for years with mystery problems within the gut and standard doctors could never figure anything out (other than masking the problems with pills). My mom and I live in Sacramento and have no problems taking a 1 day flight down to Los Angeles and back to see this brilliant, kind and compassionate doctor. For the first time in my life, I finally have hope that I will be able to experience what it will be like to function within a healthy body!!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar is the most knowledgeable, kindest and compassionate doctor I have ever met. I have Lyme Disease so I’ve been to so many doctors in my life, and Dr. Rahbar is so patient, attentive and actually cares about his patients. He doesn’t rush out the door. He listens. He has gotten me through some very tough times and is still doing so. I’m very ill and I’m so fortunate to have him as my doctor. His staff is just as amazing and kind. I don’t get brushed off by anyone and they all take very good care of me. There’s really not enough wonderful things I can say. I’m very grateful for his care and the care I receive as a whole by the office.

Fantastic experience: Amazing office full of amazing staff. Dr. Rahbar always has the patient’s best interest at heart. He prescribes very carefully and does everything he can to understand the root cause of your issue rather than just the symptoms. 100% Recommend for your unsolved case.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar is very patient and took much time to review my situation by asking many questions about my medical condition, medical history and overall wellness. His immediate recommendations were very helpful and I look forward to trying out his holistic prescriptions for much help. His office was very efficient, pleasant, professional and on top of things. I feel very confident in Dr. Rahbar's expertise and different approach to not only helping with my symptoms but with eliminating my condition from the source.

Aleksey Gladysh 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Last year, I had horrible GERD and wasn't absorbing anything I ate. I was losing a pound a week no matter what I ate. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Rahbar as a last ditch effort. The doctor diagnosed me with SIBO, prescribed what I needed to restore health to my gut and kill the infection, and over the next couple of months I got drastically better. At this point, I no longer have GERD and can digest almost anything, other than a few certain carbs. Thanks Dr. Rahbar!

Azita Rambod 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Rahbar is an excellent and knowledgeable doctor who also really cares about his patients and their overall well being. Dr Rahbar efficiently diagnosed and helped me overcome many of my GI and other health issues. His whole office staff is smart and professional. Dr Rahbar is a truly gifted physician.

Kathryn Loving 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Rahbar is the best doctor I've seen. It took me 8 years to find him, and I had given up. Dr Rahbar listened to me and took my symptoms seriously whereas many previous doctors attributed what I was feeling to stress or something I had even created. He figured out a big piece of the puzzle pretty much immediately getting to the core of the problem rather than just addressing symptoms. His treatment plan for Lyme supported my immune system, and he went slow rather than just going in and killing. I think that's why I've remained functioning throughout whereas I've had friends whose doctors were too aggressive with this just crash. We uncovered the other piece of my chronic illness yesterday and have a great game plan to get me well. I can honestly see the light of what was a very long tunnel, and I am so grateful to be healing. I can not recommend Dr. Rahbar enough.

Sharon Alegria 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar is definitely the finest physician I’ve ever encountered, he has helped me for many years through a multitude of issues, he is amazing at diagnosing and I always leave my appointments with a plan of action. In addition to his vast knowledge, he is a very kind and compassionate doctor, I cannot say enough good things about him!

christine&alex geisse 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: My first appointment with Dr. Rhabar was great! He is kind, patient and caring. He takes the time to get to know you and all your medical history as he is very thorough. No matter how many symptoms you may have, he is not overwhelmed, and his mission is to find a way to help his patients. He also works to find solutions for testing that can work within your budget. I am hopeful for the first time in 20 years that perhaps someone may finally be able to help me figure out what I need to do to feel better.

Claudia Barrientos 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar is obviously very knowledgeable. What I really like and appreciate about him is the time he takes to listen to your symptoms, to ask questions to gain more insight and to explain in great detail what is happening within your body and the steps to take for treatment. He is very clear, concise and provides a lot of information to understand how to implement treatment, prevent future relapses and improve overall digestion and quality of life.

Tamara Shushan 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best doctor. He listens, asks all the right questions and always has new ideas and suggestions that greatly improve my overall health.

Janice Brown 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar is an extremely caring and knowledgeable doctor regarding for GI and total body health. I started seeing Dr. Rahbar in 2013 when I weighed 83 lbs. and on TPN due to GI issues, reflux, nausea and stomach pain. I had just been released from Cedars Sinai after 12 days with no diagnosis or solution to my symptoms and very concerned about my condition. I was only on TPN for two months then started eating slowly again to regain my weight. I have always struggled with anxiety which has contributed to my stomach issues. I have a very sensitive system and unable to tolerate many supplements/medications making my case more challenging. Dr. Rahbar takes the necessary time during each appointment to listen and discuss all options of care. I have never felt rushed or dismissed and have seen many doctors. Although Dr. Rahbar is out of my insurance network plan he is worth the investment for better health. I am thankful to have found Dr. Rahbar and his care team.

Gabriela Rodriguez 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar has been one of those unique doctors who spends time beyond what was charged, and investigated a long unsolved problem until he found a diagnosis and offered a solution. We are forever grateful and highly recommend him.

Sara Graham-Costain 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar is the best of doctors, intelligent, knowledgeable about Western meds and alternative therapies and able to explain complicated matters in a way that’s understandable. He listens and is also unfailingly kind. His staff is also patient, kind and efficient! I am especially a fan of Andrea who does his scheduling and faxing of documents. She is amazing!

Sorana Urdareanu 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have found Dr Rahbar through an internet search, 6 years after suffering with gut issues that no-one could diagnose. Dr Rahbar gave me a good diagnostic right away, I was so relieved that finally I had answers & my body reacted to the treatment right away. Dr Rahbar is the only doctor, out of all the doctors that I’ve seen from around the globe, that actually gets what is going on with me. I now have a collection of chronic illnesses, the type that are very hard to spot, and each one of them was rightfully diagnosed by Dr Rahbar. He is always up to date with the latest medical discoveries & gives me a lot of information to research, so that I completely understand what is going on. He never stopped treating me, even when I moved back to Europe. He helps me get medicine that is not available in Europe, he sends me test kits that are not available in Europe & when needed, he has recommended other specialists in Europe (for my Lyme disease). It feels like when there is nothing other doctors can recommend or diagnose, Dr Rahbar always has an answer that makes sense. I cannot stress how encouraging that is, considering that most other doctors have just told me that I must be making things up, that it’s all in my mind. Dealing with chronic illness is very tough on doctors because not one patient is the same as the other, what works for one may not work for the other, there is a lot of trial & error & disappointment. Therefore many doctors give up easily & don’t like to have their record brought down by patients who are not fixable. I heard that Mayo clinic recently decided not to take on Lyme or MCAS patients (can’t remember exactly which) because they mess up their positive record. Dr Rahbar does not care about any of that & has the patience to try all over again. He has a great system for communicating with patients & a great support team. Excellent services all around!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rahbar is a genius pure and simple. After 50 Doctors & 18 months, 3 weeks at Mayo and nearly $200k he diagnosed lyme & co infections based upon symptoms within our first two hour meeting. He confirmed this with lab tests. He is a superior medical detective with supernatural intuitive instinct. I came all the way from Connecticut and finally landed in his office and thank god for the answers he provided. He even saw us on his day off as we were staying in town to see another Doc. There are simply not enough superlatives to express my awe at his abilities, I am eternally grateful he is in our lives......and his office staff is also incredible. As organized and efficient as they come. You know you are in good hands there. Erica Anderheggen New Canaan CT.

Negative experience: save your time and money and don’t go to him. he doesn’t spend enough time with each patient which lead to him misdiagnosing my mother. this misdiagnosis lead to more pain and problems for her. be cautious

We did an extensive search, yet could not identify a single patient that would match the descriptions of this anonymous person. Our practice services a variety of patients with complex medical problems. We see a limited number of patients per day to accommodate adequate time with everyone. I suspect that there is an error in this posting and certainly invite anyone to write to us

Fantastic experience: Words can't express how grateful I am for doctor Rahbar for discovering my Lyme disease, toxic mold, and SIBO. Was previously just diagnosed with "stress" and many other wastebasket diagnoses on my journey. Countless doctors, tests, and scans. Was losing my mind and hope before Doctor Rahbar. I wish everyone who is struggling for answers could be so lucky to come across Doctor Rahbar. I recommend him to everyone I know.

J Fletcher 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've searched for the last fourteen years to find someone like Dr. Rahbar. He is easily the greatest doctor and one of the most compassionate human beings I have ever met. Throughout my 20-year journey to figure out my mysterious health issues, I saw over 70 doctors/healers/health practitioners, I tried every alternative modality I could find, spent tens of thousands of dollars, and even journeyed to the Amazon jungle to work with shamans - All to no avail. In November of 2014, I discovered Dr. Rahbar and all of his glowing reviews on yelp. In my initial appointment, he thought he already knew the root cause of my health issues. The numerous tests I took over the next few weeks confirmed his intuition: Chronic Lyme. If you have strange, seemingly unconnected symptoms like joint/body pain, gut issues, neurological issues (memory/insomnia/ADD/Anxiety/Depression/Rage/Brain Fog), or if you've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia/Lupus/MS - please look into seeing someone lyme literate (not your GP) who will run the proper tests. While Dr. Rahbar doesn't directly treat Lyme, he can treat some of the common issues that accompany lyme, as well as help guide your next step. And if you don't have lyme (I'm happy for you), then you have the luxury of seeing him for all of your health needs. Dr. Rahbar is the Richard Castle (or Jessica Fletcher if you're older) of chronic illness. He is a health detective. He investigates with an open mind all the numerous health possibilities before diagnosing. He is incredibly kind, calm, and completely focused on whoever sits in front of him. His presence itself is very healing. He also doesn't watch the clock, thus enabling you the space to be heard and freedom to be healed. I haven't found another Dr. Rahbar, and I'm not sure I will. And while I could write so much more, I'll just say thank you. I'm eternally grateful.
