great very helpful asusual always listensto what feelor have to say
I feel he is an excellent provider I feel he gave me more x to live.
(Love A. Golzar.)
This visit was done by telephone due to covid-19. Therefore, I did not visit the office. I did not care for phone visit as I wanted Dr Golzar to take my blood pressure and actually see what my concerns are.
My experiences are excellent. "The world's" best heart doctor.
I really like him, easy to talk to and considerate of me.
The service went very well every things was on time.
good
Dr. Golzar has always been pleasant and takes his time to answer my questions.
My experience with Dr. Golzar was one I never have had such great treatment respect, kindness, and happy results. I was absolutely satisfied and made whole.
Good experience....I have confidence in Dr. Golzar.
I think Dr.Golzaar is wonderful and super knowledgeable about my medical problem.
As a patient I did have to wait a bit to see the doctor but once he enters the room I have his full attention. He is very kind.
Provider is good & addressed my questions. Clerk was told that I came, early hopping to be seen because I had another appt. at Advocate-Burbank. She (clerk) said the dr. was behind in his scheduling & I had come early. She indicated that she would inform the dr. she did not do so until I had waited an hour & then repeated that I had come early. It was frustrating to talk with her.
My experience with my provider is rated in high respect, timing and communication.
Very good to excellent. I say "The World's Best Heart Specialist".
Excellent!!
Very good!
He gave his professional opinion on my veins.
Overall a fine experience. The issue of cost & how to pay are the big issues.
Always professional. He takes time and explain exactly what he mean and what I need to do to remain as healthy as possible.
I was very pleased with the whole staff at Dr Golzar's office.
Dr. explained the whole procedure; step by step for the whole process. Very important from a patient's view.
Talked to Dr. Golzar about flu & pneumonia shots for this season. Got both shots at CVS pharmacy later that day. Very happy with Dr. Golzar as my cardiologist. Receptionist asked Medicare questions.
I, too, was impressed by Dr. Golzar and by his opinion and attitude and knowledge of my situation.
I was very satisfied with the services and the kindness I was shown the respect I received being a senior patient.
The staff is very helpful & cordial.
Very good.
I think Dr. Golzar is an excellent dr. He has helped me out & has a good bedside manner.
Dr. Golzar is a doctor that cares about you and does his very best to help you feel better.
Dr. Golzar is very knowledgeable and a considerate physician. He explained everything regarding my upcoming procedure.
It took much much longer for provider to see me usually I am at the office for an hour at least this time it almost 2 hours before I left & got down stairs.
Dr. Golzar and his nurse have been responsive to our concerns about care, procedures and medications. It was initially difficult but once we were on the same page, and both patient portals (old & new) were introduced it has helped tremendously in them understanding & responding to my concerns and working out solutions. I am sad X stwon't be his nurse and hope to have the same (or even better) relationship with his staff.
Dr. Golzar is a very caring professional dr.
Informative.
very good
he was good.
Dr. Goldzar & X are very nice & not pushy to have a procedure done.
Was pleasant and informative as usual. Was interested and concerned about my well being.
Very good.
dr.golzar is excellent
Very good.
My name is X and I am the daughter and POA of X. I have been managing my mother's health care since 2015. I schedule her appointments and go with her to see her Advocate Care Team generally once per year. I really like Dr. Golzar and think he's an excellent Cardiologist but he is a very busy man. In the past I've tried to discuss the amount of medications my mother is on (she went from almost no medications post 2015 to 14 medications after 2015). This was partly due to her Dementia diagnosis, being hospitalized for a kidney stone followed by rehab. I was learning how to be her advocate but find it difficult to completely express my concerns when our visit is fairly restricted to 15-20 min. Only recently have I begun to feel that I am being heard about my concerns regarding the amount of medication my mother takes. Dr. Golzar's nurses have been working with me while keeping him in the loop.
Good visit!!!
This was a one time visit with this doctor which was excellent.
Dr. Golzar is very helpful and thorough in explaining my condition. He has a good bed/chair-side manner.
very professional and courteous
I have never had a reception that I had with my first visit to the Advocate Medical Group. They made me feel so comfortable in a situation where I am normally nervous and tense.
I love my doctor he saved my life he is the best and has the best help ever I am very grateful.
it was a very good visit, the doctor was very courteous and explained things very well to me.
He is a very good doctor, I like him very much.
The clerk, assistant and the doctor were all helpful, kind and timely.
I had needs medical needs met
I think Dr. Golzar is great, also his nurse X - They make you feel at ease.
He is an exceptional Dr!!
I had a wonderful experience. My provider explained everything to me so that I clearly understood what we will need to do for my care.
I went to Dr. Golzar for MY VEINS IN MY LEGS, bad bad pains for years. HE DIDN'T EXAMINE ME, (look on the screen & said its your "BACK") MY BACK NEVER HURT! He said I need a MRI, I had one 6 mos. ago. So I left, and I PAID HIM $30.00 BEFORE I WENT IN, FOR WHAT?
Dr. Golzar is a pleasant doctor to talk, and make you aware of your problem.
Dr Golzar is an excellent doctor. I changed my primary doctor just to make sure I could still see him to finish my procedure that's how good he is at what he does he is very nice and makes you feel comfortable, he has a great nurse also XX.
Excellent doctor
Outstanding leader, excellent listener, easily understood genuinely concerned about health outcomes so patient has in put and guidance.
He was very nice to me a first time patient.
