Dr. Rahmati was absolutely outstanding! He took the time to listen carefully to all of my concerns, never made me feel rushed, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine compassion made me feel comfortable and confident in my care. He is knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about his patients. It's rare to find a physician who combines such expertise with such a warm and caring bedside manner. I left my appointment feeling heard, reassured, and grateful to have him as my doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Rahmati to anyone looking for an exceptional physician. He is truly one of the best, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Dr. Rahmati, for the excellent care!

2026-03-04
-
I just felt overall the visit was kind of cold and that I wasn't able to settle in and feel comfortable and the most kind of awkward moment was just when I kind of asked if I had something and He goes, no, you don't have that and then right after I got examined he goes yeah you do have a bit of that something like a deviated septum or something and I'm just like well why would you just assume immediately I don't have something why didn't you just wait until after examining? Could have just done that. It makes no sense. It's kind of like a bit of arrogance, [redacted]

You won't want to hear this- I have been to 30 doctors appointments in the last 5 months in your hospital system and I am being passed from one specialist to another with no one taking command of helping me get better.

They were kind and friendly, but I left feeling like I wasn't taken very seriously - like my concerns were a big silly. I tried to brush it off while I was there, but I have really been left thinking about this for days. The doctor has good reviews and maybe my concerns didn't seem serious to him, but they were to me and I left feeling like I really didn't get any answers.

[redacted] he was in the room less than a minute. He asked me my name. And he said, if I still had pain. I said no. And then I told him that I had pain on my other ear that they didn't check it at the time. And then he said, OK, you're all set. You should be fine. I don't see any infection. And I asked him several questions that I wanted to be seen, you know, more further. And he said, I didn't need it. So I didn't like it. I did not like it at all.

He is one of the really exceptional practitioners. He listens to what you are concerned about. Answers those concerns and explains things in language you can understand. What a treasure you have in Dr. Rahmati. I have recommended him in several other states. I think he saved my life.

After Costco Hearing Aid Center told me I needed to have my ears cleaned out before I could proceed with getting hearing aids, I made an appt. with Dr. Rahmati because of a past very favorable experience at MEE.
