My wife will be suffering from Dr. Alavi's ignorance and malpractice for years to come. Dr. Alavi injected Bellafill around her mouth AGAINST the recommendations of Bellafill and every reputable doctor my wife has seen since to try and repair the damage done by Dr. Alavi. The damage can NEVER be repaired and my wife will always be subject to red bumps around her mouth that are oozing constantly. Don't let Dr. Alavi attempt to calm you down when she says "But you know I love you" because that simply means she has done her damage and you are stuck permanently. Dr. Alavi even had her lawyer contact my wife telling her we had to communicate through him going forward because Dr. Alavi had given up trying to repair her damage. Any Dr. that has a lawyer on call should tell you something about that doctor. Our doctor bills have gone through the roof seeking medical experts that might be able to repair the damage but all have told us "Your doctor (Dr. Alavi) didn't know what she was doing by giving you such superficial injections in areas the Bellafill manufacturer specifically says avoid. " In our meeting directly with Suneva Medical (Bellafill), they acknowledge Dr. Alavi's malpractice and told us they had cancelled her use of Bellafill due to such flawed injections. We will be paying for this nightmare for the rest of our lives and Dr. Alavi got off scot free. If I could give negative stars, I would. Run as fast as you can from Dr. Alavi because she is a butcher!

I went for Dysport, but was greeted by a very warm,compassionate and intuitive person! Her knowledge is extremely rounded for a physician. She is a mix of traditional Western medicine, time tested Eastern practices, and shrink! What a wonderful surprise to have found her. I am going back. I want my health AND life back. My intuition knows she has the rounded skills I need after years of chronic pain and illness.

I have been seeing Dr. Alavi for 2 years. My primary reason for seeing Dr. Alavi was for weight loss resistance. I had tried every diet and exercise I knew but was still unsuccessful. Along with weight issues I was also dealing with fatigue and stress. I had also reached an age that I suspected that hormones were a factor. I wanted a Dr. that would get to the root of the problem. My initial visit with Dr. Alavi was very lengthy. She spent time learning about me as a person. We took small steps in identifying my problem areas and addressing them. She has helped me learn that weight loss resistance is not all about being on the “right diet” but rather a combination of many factors in your daily life. I was eating right and exercising, but that is not all there was to it. Over the past two years I have changed many aspects of my life and I am benefiting from the lasting results. I have developed a lasting relationship with Dr. Alavi and her staff. Her passion in life is caring for people and it showed from the very first visit.

I have also seen Dr. Alavi and her staff for facial injections, massages, Life Coach for stress reduction, nutrition counseling, and fitness education. It was all a part of my wellbeing and balanced health. They always make me feel very comfortable and welcomed.

I have personally been seeing Dr. Alavi for many years. I absolutely love her! She takes the time that is required to individually treat each patient with the care they deserve. She is amazing at making me feel like I am heard and cared for. Anyone would really be lucky to have Dr. Alavi as their doctor. She has a wide range of tools, staff, and knowledge to help you with balancing your health and wellness.
