- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/10/2026
This was the best doctor I have ever seen. He spent more than enough time with me and seemed genuinely concerned about my health. Unlike many doctors who seem to talk a lot to demonstrate their competence, Doctor Hamrahian listened to my explanation of my health. He even sent a follow-up message after hours with an explanation of my test results and a recommendation for further tests and prescriptions.

It is taken 5 months to finally have a clear answer. It took a while to schedule tests and make follow up appointments. I feel more comfortable now that Dr Hamrahian has shared test results and potential plan of action.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/11/2025
Having past experience with other endocrinologists, Dr. Amir Hamrahian far exceeds any other specialist I have seen in this field. He is knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and leaves ""no stone unturned"" in his diagnostic endeavor. I've been around for a number of years, am not easily impressed, and right now, Dr. Hamrahian impresses me as an endo professional and simply a good person.

This provide is very prompt and thorough in responding to requests for prescription renewals, answering my questions and providing direction, and clear with next steps in my medical care. He was courteous with my wife who accompanied me on this visit. He reviews and explains my lab work, CT scans, and Sonogram. Over the past year, he responded immediately to an enlarged lymph node by referring me expeditiously to a surgeon that that resulted in a total thyroid removal. I consider myself fortunate to have Dr. Hamrahian as my endocrinologist.
