Providence Patient
Great experience with Dr. Shaifpour and his staff overall. They are all very friendly, accommodating, and they do not waste their patient's time. I very much appreciate that. Scheduling an appointment was a difficult since the online system didn't seem to be working, and I didn't realize it since the online system still created an appointment for me. I tried scheduling it again, and I got the same result. I emailed Dr. Shafipour and his staff reached out to me and created an appointment for me right away.The problem with that is getting an appointment meant waiting months. Nobody wants to wait months! And scheduling the appointments through the online portal definitely resulted in waiting around for longer.

Providence Patient
The best internal medicine doctor I've ever had plus I referred to many friends who said the same.
Providence Patient
Went for a check up and thinking of changing to this doctor, who I liked. I was concerned however that as part of the check up there was no EKG or chest x-ray, as with my previous doctor who is not on my medical plan. I assume that's to save money, but especially regarding no EKG, not having it didn't feel right. I didn't realize it until after I left so didn't mention it. But I did like the doctor and his staff.
