Behnaz Behmanesh, DO

I am a medical students at UCLA and Dr. Behmanesh is my PCP at the Ash Center. No matter what takes me to Ash Center every time, Behmanesh hardly spends any more than two minutes listening to me. It seems like she is always in a rush to leave, which is surprising to me considering that there is never a line of patients at the Ash center. She is not interested in me as a person and her bed side manners are non-​existent. She brushes aside my complaints and my concerns seem unimportant to her.

This is a review for the UCLA Ashe Center. During my visit, Dr. Behmanesh seemed in a big rush to be done and did not take the time to properly diagnose me. As a result, she prescribed me inappropriate antibiotics that actually made me worse. When I was correctly diagnosed, the doctor was appalled that a trained physician would have given me the meds she did. She does not seem knowledgeable when it comes to medicine at all.

If you can choose another provider at the Ashe Center, do so. My first encounter with Dr Behmanesh was below average. I usually don’t post reviews on Unilocal but I just have to with her. She was totally pleasant but just seemed rushed and uninterested. I needed a titer drawn for immunizations and she completely forgot to put in the order and I had to wait an hour until she got back from lunch to get the order put in. She also put in a prescription for me without telling me where to go get that prescription (it was my first time at the Ashe Center). I also told her that I wanted information on contraceptive options other than the pill and I had to remind her twice for that. When I finally did get my info sheet, it was info on the pill. Obviously she wasn’t listening at all. I’m going to switch out of student health insurance soon, but if I wasn’t, I would totally switch providers at the Ashe Center.

This is for an experience from the Ashe Center at UCLA, I am not sure if Behmanesh practices anywhere else (I would be shocked if anyone else would hire this awful doctor).
Behnaz Behmanesh, DO is the most horrific doctor my husband has ever had to deal with. She is young and inexperienced yet acts as though everyone is beneath her.
My husband is one of the most polite people ever and I am so appalled at the way she treated him. It wasn’t just poor service, she was flat out rude.
He has been to other doctors and based on what they have told him, he expressed some things he was interested in trying (tests, etc.). Instead of being polite and explaining why she felt they wouldn’t be needed or explaining ANYTHING, she just says «OH, we can just do WHATEVER you want to do since you know so much.» What?!
She has a terrible bed side manner and I hope everyone can avoid dealing with her. Go to someone else!
