Soleimani Massoud MD

I can’t disagree more with the post from Maria R. I have been a patient of Dr. Soleimani’s for nearly 10 years. He has always given me plenty of time to talk through symptoms and other problems. He always lends a sensitive and sympathetic ear. My life is literally in the hand of Dr. Soleimani and my nephrologist. He has worked hard to bring me into remission. I will be forever grateful.

I see Dr. Soleimani maybe 3 minutes a month. He’s a fun guy that likes to joke around, but my favorite people in this office (Arcadia office on Huntington Dr.) are Teresa and Rosalie. These two women are probably the most hard working MA’s I’ve known, besides my mother. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, even when you’re not the patient! I’m here every month when my mom gets her IV of RA medicine so I see one or the other. They don’t get too personal or pry, it’s just the right amount of small talk.

This review is for rheumatologist Dr. Massoud Soleimani at Health Care Partners, 450 E Huntington Dr, Arcadia:
Dr. Soleimani is, quite simply, the most horribly insensitive doctor I’ve ever encountered. At the initial appointment, he spent the majority of the time typing away at the computer, while staring at the screen. He barely listened to the answers for the questions he asked. There was a brief physical exam (clothed), when a lengthy exam (medical gown) is standard in this field.
The finale? He drops a devastating diagnosis, as casually as you or I might say, «Take an umbrella; it’s starting to drizzle.» Disgraceful behavior. Fortunately, my PPO gives me the choice of any doctor I want to see — and I won’t return to this office. I feel so sorry for any of his patients, who might be stuck with their lives in his hands.
Skip this nightmare.
