Kasra Pournadeali

I’m sure Dr. Pournadeali has a great vision for his business and is a good director/​administrator. However, he doesn’t really have the time to handle a caseload of patients. I say this because my lab results sat on his desk for a week before he had the time to read them. I called daily, but it didn’t inspire him to get to them any faster. He must be very busy.
In terms of his communication style, I can’t give high marks either. He cut me off in the middle of sentences numerous times. He got irritated because I took a pro-​active approach and did my own research – his tone indicated his irritation, and he made several inappropriate comments. He did calm down after about 10 minutes and commended me on my ability to advocate for myself even though it was hard on him as the doctor. However, the damage was done, and I found myself not wanting to be forthright with him to avoid further conflict.
And, finally, he was quick to sell me supplements – none of which actually worked for the symptoms I gave him, and one of them actually caused further distress to other conditions. I think, if he had listened more carefully to me or done testing first, rather than arbitrarily profiling me as a «type» he wouldn’t have rushed to sell me the supplement that was contra-​indicated.
He might be really good at teaching. I don’t have any experience with him in that regard. As a professional health consultant, he falls significantly short of the standard required to be effective.
