Moghaddam M T, MD

Worse medical experience EVER!!! Do yourself a favor click onwards to the next Dr. On Unilocal.Not only did he misdiagnose (which was truly obvious since his diagnosis did Not match ANY of my symptoms) of course if he would have listened he would have realized that. His favorite sentence is ‘come back tomorrow and we’ll do more tests’ suurreee you mean the kind of test where you get to see how much money you can take out of my wallet before I move on? Also do NOT expect any privacy while being examined, the doors stay open for everybody to see and get this another patient came in while the dr. Was checking my throat and simply had a conversation with him! Are you serious??? Stay away from this place I can go on and on with what I have experienced there, truly unbelievable’

I scheduled an appointment three days ago just to come in and SIT and WAIT for over an hour! I don’t understand what would be the reason anyone else would schedule an appointment if not for being on time! Not even an apology, I got poor customer service!!! Wouldn’t want to do business with this doctor ever.

Really unprofessional, secretary asked 3 times if I have insurance (I kept reply YES), no body mention i need to come 20 min before and when I asked the waiting time she said 45 min!!! Well I don’t understand, if I want to make an appointment at 4:15 I would, but my appointment was for 3:30!!!
I definitely not coming back there, I pay for my service I don’t see doctors for free (they made me feel like I’m not paying for it and it’s free,(like they do me a favor) so someone else will worth paying for)
I had very bad experience, they have bad attitude and really not nice and patience.
Also when I asked my ID back she ripped off the papers in front of me made me feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.
Not recommend!!!

First of all I want to mention, that I was able to set up an appointment, on an hours notice. Which was a huge relief being Friday, and ear problem. The Doctor was a very pleasant, and knowledgeable gentleman that really didn’t attempt to push every check up he could to bill insurance, but rather get you in and out asap! I read reviews about the front staff being rude, but they were very pleasant with a slight language barrier in which I could see others take as attitude. The ladies took care of me with a smile, and I really had no complaint about them what so ever. I didn’t go in for a major op. so I can’t comment in regards to that. But there were people in the waiting room that have apparently been coming to this doctor for ages! So I wouldn’t stray away from going back at all.
(PS. I asked if they took Covered California, and they do indeed take Blue Shield as a previous comment regarded they did not.)
Pros: Friendly, Local, and knowledgeable doctor who knows what he’s doing!
Con: Parking was a bit jammed, so park in the back area of the nursery. Follow the alley for the signage. Persistence required some times as only two ladies are on phone duty. They were busy!
Overall: Doctor gets you in and out asap! He informed me not to use Q-​Tips otherwise I’d be paying him another visit, and just genuinely stands by the old time medicine ethic. Which being he doesn’t want to see you come back and tries to prevent the need of a doctors visit!

Found Dr. Moghaddam off of Unilocal.Let me start by saying this. You do not find doctors like this anymore. Such a lovely man with the spirit of a youngster.
Every nose and throat doctor that I called required me to have an appointment when I told them it was urgent that I see the doctor immediately.
I walked in without an appointment and they welcomed me. The staff was friendly and accommodating.
The doctor was beyond knowledgeable. His age showed his knowledge. This doctors main concern is the well-​being of his patients. BEST DOCTOR I’ve been to in a long time. He took his time with me and made sure to explain what was going on. You have gained a new patient for life Dr. I sincerely want to thank you and your entire staff.
And Yes, all of these reviews are absolutely true. This is a doctor of enormous empathy and gentle skills.

I love love Dr. Moghaddam. The sweetest, most caring and knowledgable doctor you can find. I really wish all doctors could be more like him. The office is also organized and there are no long waits despite all the patients. He is so fast in seeing you and diagnosing.

I took my mom here because she broke out in this weird rash. She doesn’t have health insurance, that’s why I came to this doctors office. Doctor is old, and wise. Doesn’t try to rip you off, just tries to help you. This is a dying breed.
He was quick to diagnose correctly (my mom had shingles). He prescribes correctly. Good doctor.

The worst service I received in my entire life!!!
I seen this dr a couple times, and the customer service was always bad there but this time it was the worst!!! I called them last week, and said that I changed my insurance to blue shield ppo. Asked them if they accepted it, they said yes.
My appointment supposted to be at 2.00, when I showed up, they said that the doctor will not be in the office till 3.00pm. I asked them to check the appointment book, and they said that my name wasn’t even on the schedule! Great!!! I asked them if they accepted my new insurance, the girl said yes. After waiting for 30 min, the nurse showed up to the office. I thought it’s gonna be good to asked her as well, just to be on a safe side. So I asked her «do you accept blue shield ppo» she replied «we don’t accept Obama bullshit», I said «exuse me» and she repited herself «no, we don’t accept Obama bullshit».
This is so unprofessional, so rude and insulting!!!

Extremely unfriendly counter staff, wasn’t seen for over an hour past my appointment time, felt very uncomfortable and not welcomed at all. Will not return.

First off, the staff was very rude, and impolite. The only thing they was concerned about was getting the payment (very rude, just because I did not have insurance). Their appointments were scattered and incomplete. They argued with me about whether my appointment was actually booked. After all the commotion, the doctor was able to see me in about 5 minutes (which was very displeasing, considering the argument I had to have about appointment scheduling)
The doctor then took me to the room, asked me what pain I have, and then proceeded to tear up a small piece of paper, write «Night Guard» on it, and escort me outside.
I had come to the doctor for my pain, and he had let me out in 5 minutes.

This is a very good doctor. People don’t understand that if you go in on the «open hours» that it is first come first serve and you just need to be patient and wait your turn LOL. It’s what you get if you don’t make an appointment. But the doctor is quick and this is important — he fixes whatever you need on that one visit. Pretty much. He won’t let you leave and tell you to come back later or another day or referals — he just tried to take care of you there and then. Perfect!
The lady’s at the front desk are extremely busy but helpful and sweet.

I called yesterday for an appointment because I noticed something in my ear. Sort of like an underground zit. Luckily they were able to get me in (I begged). As I get to the office, it’s full of patients waiting, mostly Persian old ladies. At the counter, there was no sign in sheet and although there were a few people working back there, no one acknowledged me. I thought this was weird. As I stood there announcing that I was a new patient, I was ignored. Finally someone back there just told me to sit down. I sat down as was thinking «out of sight out of mind» because they are too busy to remember me here if they even care, so I went back to the window. That’s when a VERY pretty (joooooooooonnnnn), –yes I know what that means that even though I“m not Persian, young woman tended to me. She explained that she works in the back and can’t help me but promised me to be patient and I would be helped. So finally the Dr’s assistant helped me, (the lady who wears the maroon colored scrubs). From there on it got better. I waited 30 min in waiting room. And another 15 min in the room waiting for the doctor. I can’t complain though because they did get me in last minute. From what I’ve described above (except for the jooooonn worker), this review doesn’t deserve 5 stars, since clearly they are lacking not only customer service there (really common manners to patients), however because Dr. Moghaddam was so good, I am giving it a 5 star.
So Dr. Moghaddam looked in my ear and wanted to cut out a little mole I have in the way of the underground zit (or whatever it is which I’m still not sure). I asked him if instead I could take antiobiodics and he said yes. I asked if I had a good chance of it healing with the pills alone and he said yes. So then I’m wondering why he would rather do a minor surgery procedure instead of antibiodics first… hmmmm…fyi I have good insurance.
I will return to him for a follow up at which point if the pills don’t work he can cut away. I think that I have found my lifetime ENT now. Dr. Moghaddam is a kind, charming doctor and I felt comfortable with him.

My family and I have been going to Dr. Moghaddam for years, since the late 90’s. He is an extremely kind man who really listens and one of the few doctors who I feel really truly cares about his patients.
As one reviewer mentioned, it is mostly a Persian clientele and staff, so anyone with prejudices should not come here. Hopefully people will not be so shallow as to judge a doctor by his race!

Dr. Moghaddam and his office are wonderful! He is a fantastic doctor who has experience with every type medical problems. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Dr. Moghaddam always takes time to listen and he always gives good advice. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Moghaddam, Mavash, his Office Manager, and the entire staff. He has been my doctor for years. I would never change.

I was really impressed by this doctor. I didn’t have insurance and his visit was very affordable. I went in deaf in one ear and walked out good as new. He helped a bunch of people all at once and even though I don’t live near him I will go back to him again.

Great service from a very friendly staff!!! Dr. M was amazing and down to earth!

As a physician I have asked him to treat my aging father. Dad has hearing problems ignored by several so called physicians. Unable to hear effectively prior to visit he clearly heard everyone after the visit.
Very impressed and highly recommended… then coming from an ObGyn.

Dr. Moghaddam is a f**king GENIUS. He was the only doctor (out of 3) that immediately recognized the severity of my INCREDIBLY PAINFUL throat infection, accommodated me within his busy schedule on THE SAME DAY and performed (minor) surgery that cured me in less than 48 hours. LITERALLY.
Let me clarify:
Monday morning I was about to kill myself because I just couldn’t take it anymore. Wednesday afternoon I was riding a bike by the beach, loving life and waving at people as I cruised by them.
So needless to say, this guy’s a miracle worker. Excellent bedside manner. GREAT staff (except for this one chick who clearly thinks she’s a lot hotter than she actually is). Given how busy the place is, it’s amazing how efficiently the patients are treated. I saw him 3 times (had a couple of follow up appointments), and the longest I had to wait was about 20 minutes tops. And that’s mainly because he had to squeeze me into his schedule for the same day (whereas the other two ENTs I called wouldn’t even budge despite me practically BEGGING to be helped).
Bottom line: I just can’t say enough good things about Dr. Moghaddam.
By the way, if you have a problem with Persian doctors (i.e. if you are a fucking bigot), then go elsewhere. This is a very Persian establishment — Persian staff/​Persian clientele… as a matter of fact if you look remotely Persian you will be spoken to in Farsi (I’m *not* Persian, though, and I had absolutely no trouble communicating with anyone since they all speak decent English).
The only reason I’m even bringing this Persian thing up is because an asshole in the waiting room was bitching and complaining about Persian doctors (since his wife’s rash wouldn’t go away after a mere 2 days of medication). Had I not been so sick at the time, I would’ve given that fat fuck a pretty good reason to visit an ENT specialist.
I hope his wife got that rash from his best friend. On Valentine’s Day. In his own bed.
Anyway — Dr. Moghaddam RULES. I’ve already decided to make him my primary care physician. I hope you never have to see a doctor, but if you do, go to him. You won’t be disappointed. Unless you’re racist. In which case I hope you get AIDS and die.

Dr. Moghaddam is my family doctor. I’ve gone to him since forever and he really knows his stuff! Hes not the kind to push pills on someone he knows doesn’t need it. I trust him with my life… literally.
