Wellesley Medical: Pouya Shafipour, MD

I used to see Dr. Shafipour when he was at the Westside Health Center. He’s an excellent doctor, caring, and observant. I highly recommend him.

Dr Shafipour is a great doctor. He is patient and knowledgeable, and always tries to find the time to meet with his patients. I’ve visited him for a number of different situations over the past 18 months and I would recommend him to anyone I know.

Dr. Shafipour and his staff are some of the friendliest, most professional, and personal people I’ve ever met at a primary care practice. The nurses know how to draw blood without any pain (I usually get light-​headed or faint, but not this time!) Also, Dr. Shafipour explains everything in an easy to understand way and has a great sense of humor. Highly recommended!

Great primary care physician. His assistants are also very sweet and great conversationalists which come in handy if you’re nervous about being at the doctors ;)

I am not exaggerating when I say that doctor Shafipour saved the life of my husband by diagnosing something very nasty just in time during a standard medical check-​up.
Not only he had a great intuition, but understanding the urgency of the situation he also helped us booking follow-​up exams (for the same day!) and recommended a series of specialists to refer to.
The doctor and his staff are always very supportive, polite and they really care about the patients, they always follow-​up with us to communicate test results and ask how the treatment we are prescribed is working.
I really can’t express how lucky I feel to have found this doctor.

I’m writing this review as an indirect consolation for the disappointment of no longer having Dr. Shafipour in my network after changing jobs. I was not a patient for long but my two interactions with him were great and his staff were great. I was particularly impressed when he personally talked to me after I called the office back to report that my cold had gotten worse.

Dr Shafapour is the best Dr. I’ve had. I’m serious. He and his staff are very welcoming and you feel like you’re with family. My fiancé and I have been going to him for over three years now and he knows us by name as well as follows up with our past health issues.
He makes me feel at ease and prescribes only what I need not what makes him the most money like other doctors. I just left his office for a cough I’ve had for a month and scheduled the appointment yesterday — very accommodating.
I never have to wait more than 10 mins and there is plenty of street parking or structure parking.
I recommend him to everyone!

I had almost given up on trying to find a weight loss doctor. Dr. Shafipour along with his staff are everything you could look for in a doctor. My visits are very thorough and no question is ever overlooked. Dr. Shafipour is always up to date on current trends and does a wonderful job of relaying benefits and risks of any treatments he prescribes.

I finally found a great Doctor with amazing office staff… they actually pick up the phone when you call !! made an appointment with Zoc Doc and was seen within a couple of days. Doctor Shafipour is a great find and can’t believe how lucky I am after seeing a couple of terrible doctors over the past few months… definitely give this Doc 5 +++++ stars :)

Just checking in with a quick update. It’s been 7 months since my last review and I have lost a total of 40 pounds with the help of Dr. Shafipour and his team. Still have a ways to go to reach my goal of 60 pounds total lost, but with their help and support I am 100% confident I can get there!

Dr. Shafipour has been my doctor and has a wealth of knowledge. I always feel like his most important patient and he always makes sure to explain everything to me and answers all my questions. Dr. Shafipour gives me such great medical care that I have recommended him to my family and friends. His staff are also incredibly friendly and available should I need anything from them as well. His weight management, supplements, and vitamins available in house have worked perfectly for me for keeping my weight healthy and stable. Thank you Dr. Shafipour for such amazing care!

Dr. Shaifpour and his amazing staff (Stephanie, Louisa and his beautiful wife) are amazing. He has helped me navigate some difficult health problems and blows me away with his compassion and knowledge. I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone. You will be well taken care of! My family all goes to him now. He is a gem!

Dr. Shafipour is one of those special doctors who never stops researching and learning, in order to help his patients. From weight-​loss and nutrition, to general medicine and complex cases. Wellsley Medical is a one-​stop health care clinic.

Horrible experience. The bills just keep coming. I am getting bills from places I have never even heard of and they refuse to remove my details from their system because Dr Shafipour provided them with my confidential details. Horrible experience

Attentive and kind. He consulted with me for a lot more than what I made my appointment for. Have been looking for a primary care doctor in LA for some time, and Dr. Shaifpour will be my guy going forward.

Concise version: This doctor rocks.
Long version: The other day my husband was not feeling well, and I asked the secretary on our main floor if there is a medical doctor in the building. She said yes and told us that it was on the first floor of the building. So, I quickly went downstairs and the secretaries were able to squeeze my husband in for a 2:30 appointment that day with Dr. Shafipour. My husband really liked him and said that he was very knowledgeable. He also said that Dr. Shafipour was attentive and very patient. He also had the test results available the very next day electronically, which was really nice.
Overall A+ for this medical office.

Dr. Pouya Shafipour is a great doctor easy to reach, friendly to talk and most importantly he can give the correct diagnosis! He is our family doctor and after my last routine visit he recommended to me to check my thyroid giving me a detailed order for exams! He was right my thyroid has problem !
Also, all the personnel at Wellesley are nice and they try to accommodate timely the patients’ requests!

This is the most incredible doctor I’ve ever gone to.
Most of the reviews here are regarding his efficiency as a weight loss doctor. I went to him as a general practitioner and intend to continue for as long as he and I are in the same county!
They have a small, tidy office in a larger building. They appear to have visitor parking but I just found a bit of parking around the block in a neighborhood with very few parking restrictions. Very satisfied on that front.
The office is super clean with good music of varying genres playing in the background. The nurses (particularly Stephanie (hope I’m spelling this properly)) are very pleasant. I’m always offered water while I wait.
The wait! There isn’t one! I got there early for my last appointment and got taken back prior to the time of the appointment. The doctor is efficient and gets folks through very quickly.
But! He spends exactly as much time as needed with me. We discussed my problems and he went over all of the possible causes and then explained in detail what tests he was going to perform and why. He had an excellent bedside manner and a great sense of humor. I was super impressed.
The thing that stands out to me the most about this doctor, and it may be common on this side of the country but it certainly wasn’t back home in Alabama, but the guy calls you himself! When I have test results he calls me personally and explains the results. He even gave me access to my own blood panels. Personally. Himself. Dear lord. He once scheduled an appointment for me over the phone. I nearly dropped my phone.
Go to this guy. He is a weight loss specialist, but he is a general practitioner. He knows his stuff.

I just had a great experience here this afternoon. I came in with a Lifebooker deal for lipotropic shots and metabolic testing. Everyone in the office is genuinely caring and helpful.
The doctor gave me so much valuable information and I look forward to seeing results and to visiting them in the future. I also got blood work done to check my thyroid, which I’ve been putting off for years. I’m excited to get the results, which should come this week.
I’ll write an update after a few weeks of shots and any further work!

I bought a deal from Lifebooker for a metabolic test and 4 lipotropic shots and I lost FIVE pounds in one month! After I did the metabolic test, the doctor was very nice and he gave me a thorough consultation about my goals and what I need to do. They gave me the shot the same day and every week. I am hooked on the vitamin shots for real! Not only do they make losing weight easier, I feel more energetic and happier. As a vegetarian, I may need an extra boost of B vitamins to maintain better health. This was the first time I tried vitamin shots and these hurt a bit and did make me sore for a day or two. I started a different lipo-​plex shot at a med spa that was a different mixture and didn’t hurt as much but we’ll see if the results are as good. Also, they have a deal of 4 lipotropic shots for $ 70 which is a very good price for what I have seen so far.
