Do not bring your kids here. My wife and I discovered our 6 month old had an egg allergy when introducing her to solid. We decided to bring her here for an examination and it was a terrible experience. The nurses were great and helpful but Dr. Zarei was judgmental, uneducated, and disrespectful. A few examples:
When we told her we bath our child 3 times a week, she gave us a disgusted look and said, “Who told you to do that? You should be bathing your infant twice a day” When peer review research and our pediatrician said 3 times a week to avoid dry skin.
When asking my wife about her pregnancy, Dr. Zarei asked how much weight she gained. When my wife replied, Dr. Zarei said, “Wow! That much? Even with your nausea and vomiting?”
Dr. Zarei only directed her comments and questions to my wife and acted like I wasn’t in the room. When asking my wife about daycare, we told her we both work from home and watch our child. Dr. Zarei looked at me surprisingly and said, “Oh, you guys are doing this together? Wow”
When going over the results, my wife and I didn’t have anymore questions and Dr. Zarei says, “What you SHOULD be asking is about nuts” She is the doctor. She should be the one giving us this information and we ask questions pertaining it. It felt like she was testing us and judging our parental skills the whole visit.
The office is unorganized. Dr. Zarei told us a company would call us within three days about an epi-pen and we didn’t hear from them. So we called the office and one of the nurses said “Yeah, she tells everyone that but it’s not true. You have to call them” Such a small thing to fix but they do not. Makes me worried what else they’re doing wrong.
While this review is only for parents with kids with allergies. I don’t recommend Dr. Zarei to anyone. A doctor should not act judgmental to patients, especially an allergist where people are vulnerable and self-conscious about a rash or hives.
