Kioumars Mostafizi, MD

I was referred to Dr. Mostafizi for chest pains by my PC at the New Era clinic. My mom advised she’d seen this doc & recommended I go visit Pima Heart directly in Tucson. She also said that his office would «nickel & dime» me for multiple appointments vice doing them together & that he only was only at the Sierra Vista location on Fridays. In the interest of not taking time off from work, I elected to be seen at the New Era clinic. I should’ve listened to my mom.
I was scheduled & billed for three separate visits. First visit was for an initial consult & an EKG. At the end of the appointment I was told someone would call me for a follow up. I finally had to call Pima Heart myself for the follow up that was three weeks later.
The second exam was for a stress test & out the door quickly. The third appointment was for an echocardiagram. Again, very short.
Dr. Mostafizi is ok, though our conversations were short. His medical techs were all very friendly, but every one of them had some sort of statement about how antiquated the equipment is «down here». They even verbalized how they had to «figure out this old equipment,» further describing how state of the art equipment is at their usual location in Tucson. Sooo, I have to wonder, did I get charged the same amount for worn down, old equipment?
I would recommend going to Tucson, at least you can be assured the techs will be proficient at the equipment they’re using.
