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! - Verified patient

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. - Verified patient
