        I was amazed at the amount of time that Dr. Beigi he took with me and truly probed to try to determine the source of the pain I've been experiencing. He was extremely thorough and identified a couple of possibilities, which we are following up on with two different approaches.

        I felt that this probably was the one time that I felt I was heard and he explained tests ordered and why what it will tell him etc we discussed the initial plan and what comes next in detail. He explained everything clearly and I felt like he was invested in getting answers and the answers allowing him to treat me appropriately with long term success.

        Dr. Beigi is an exceptional doctor. He reviewed my past reports assessed my current condition, and proposed a course of action pending results of blood tests. He is a great communicator. We had a two way dialog and her was interested in what I had to say. I have only seen such a detailed assessment of my conditions and proposed plan of action just a few times in my life. The other two doctors were both Hillman physicians. I will definitely be a patient of the practice that Dr. Beigi is a member for a very long time. Job well done.

        Dr. Beigi is the best doctor/diagnostician. I have ever had in my life. He is extremely knowledgeable, sharp, kind, caring and will not stop until he gets to the root of your problem. In some of my instances, through his tests for something, he often discovered problems in other areas and referred me to other specialists. In one case, it saved my life. He catches things other doctors miss because he listens to me. In 2021, he saved my life again from a rare illness that my rheumatologist didn't want to face the truth. Dr. Beigi started me on high doses of steroids that saved me. After I started to get better, after 5 days, even the rheumatologist had to admit doctor Beigi was correct in his diagnosis. Doctor Beigi is not only a brilliant doctor/diagnostician but my champion, hero and a shining gem in the medical community. He should be celebrated!!

        We came prepared with about 10 pages of hand written records of everything that has been going on for the past 6 years. Dr. Beigi went through it with us, answered each concern, and pointed us towards a resolution for the concerns. He is also the first doctor EVER to really address my mouth ulcers. They've been such a constant problem in my life and not even my dentist treats them.
