Patient reviews
The patient ratings and comments on this page are obtained from an external Press Ganey® outpatient survey provided to all eligible City of Hope patients within one to two weeks of their treatment occurrence. Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved. As a result, the comments are the views and opinions of the patients surveyed and are not endorsed by, and may not necessarily reflect the opinion of, City of Hope.

"He is my favorite doctor at COH. He is an old school doctor, meaning he understands health holistically rather than only his specialty. He always looks at all my treatment, not just my blood sugar or thyroid levels. He guides me to treatments that are informed by the whole picture. I wish every provider at COH was as holistic as this doctor!"

"Dr. Salehian-Dardashti is very kind and listened to my concerns. He remembered my last visit and asked how I was feeling now. He reviewed the results from my blood work and addressed my high cholesterol with a medication that doesn't cause joint pain but lowers my bad LDL. He also reviewed my ultrasounds that I had two weeks ago. He is very thorough. I appreciate Dr. Salehian-Dardashti very much."
