Patient stories

So I just had a procedure. I'm very bad at names, but it's to help my veins so that I have a better flow and that my heart is safe. It was an amazing experience. Both doctors, of course Dr. Beheshtian is amazing. And Linda, she was great. They didn't put me out, but then they did the laser. I didn't feel anything. I was safe. The room was very pleasant. And the team: there was the guy on this machine, the woman on that machine. Everyone worked with such compassion and such caring. "Are you okay? Are you okay?" And I'm alive. I have this huge bandage up to my crotch, but it's supposed to help, to keep me secure until the procedure, and it's kind of another four or five days. So it's been an experience.

I came here for leg pain, and I had many surgeries for two years. I was suffering, suffering, and my back, spine. I made five injections for my pain. I had two nerve injections and the pain was still there. So, but when I come to Dr. Beheshtian, she made for me a vascular surgery and she found a blockage in my leg too. And all the pain went from level 10 to go down to not only zero, but under zero. Now I am very happy, and thank you very much, Dr. Beheshtian, and appreciate your help.

I came to Avicenna because I was having an emergency with swelling in my legs. The moment I walked in here, I knew I was in the absolute right place. The staff was welcoming, and Dr. Beheshtian is thorough, she is knowledgeable, and she is compassionate. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Beheshtian and her staff. Dr. Beheshtian is outstanding. I recommend her highly.

I've been a patient of Dr. Beheshtian for the last three months. The experience has been phenomenal. I came in with concerns about my heart health. My grandmother and several other people in my family have a history of heart disease. Dr. Beheshtian has helped me be able to learn a lot more about my own health as well as any potential indicators of future risk. I felt that she's extremely thorough and has taken a lot of time to get to know me and my situation and my family health history. She's also put me in a position where I feel like I can control my own heart health and take steps to extend my own longevity and the quality of that life as well.

Yeah, so I came here because of a referral from my primary doctor, and I see Dr. Beheshtian. Her team is really, really helpful. And I think the last visit was November last year, and after a couple of tests, Dr. Beheshtian and her team just identified some of the problem about my heart, and it gave me a proper action, and sent me to the hospital, and right now I'm already cured, and I feel much more healthy. And I really appreciate Dr. Beheshtian and her team. First of all, here is a kind of environment, it's not like the doctor and the patient, it's more like friends. And so my recommendation is that here, if you came here, you can just have a better life in the future, and Dr. Beheshtian and her team is really, really professional, and I do recommend Dr. Beheshtian and her team to all of others. Thank you.

I met Dr. B about a year ago. She's very efficient, loves to test. She doesn't take chances. She's on top of everything, very professional. Everything's state of the art. She's a friend, more of a friend than a doctor. She takes good care of everybody.

I have been a patient at Avicenna Cardiology, seeing Dr. Beheshtian for several months now. Thanks to her, her staff, the technicians, I was able to uncover some health issues that they've been helping me to take care of. So I'm doing well thanks to them.

Just to say quickly, the doctor, I'm very impressed by her because she treats you as a patient, not as a number, and she listens to you. And that's a big deal nowadays. You don't get doctors that actually want to hear what you have to say.

I feel truly blessed to have found Dr. Beheshtian and Avicenna Cardiology. She is just truly the nicest, best doctor I think I've ever dealt with. Not just as a cardiologist, but a doctor in general. Her thoroughness is just unbelievable. Her follow-through is amazing. She really cares about her patients, has a great bedside manner. You know, you couldn't ask for a better doctor. So as I said, she's just a one-of-a-kind doctor. I just feel like it's not only like I feel that she's my doctor, she's a friend. She really cares about you. She follows up with you. She checks in with you to make sure you're doing okay. All the tests that you possibly need, she goes above and beyond what I think is asked of any doctor. So as I said, it's a blessing to have found her. I can't imagine going to any other cardiologist. So, anyone … should feel absolutely blessed that they found her.
