Talebian Mojdeh MD

Dr. Talebian is a great pulmonologist. She determined what was causing my sleep apnea, and now I’m sleeping much better. Her M.A., Yadira, is a wonderful person.

Dr. Talebian is an exceptional doctor. I first met her when she was the doctor on duty at the Intensive Care Unit at Sequoia Hospital, Redwood City, CA. Apart from being a terrific doctor she also has a great «bedside» manner.
What sets Dr. Talebian apart is that she takes the time to ask lots of questions and is obviously genuinely interested and concerned in her patients’ health.
On follow up visits to her office she exhibited the same traits as in the hospital e.g. taking time to ask questions, intelligent (I know this is required to become a doctor in the first place), she is super smart and also a very nice person which is a rare combination.
I am happy to provide Dr. Talebian with a strong endorsement.

For several years, my allergist thought I had bronchitis every time I caught a cold, because I would cough for weeks (so hard that I would wretch). Then another doctor told me that I had reactive airway disease (asthma). Somewhere along the line, I got referred to Dr. Talebian. She is fantastic!
She recommended that we do a lung test at the hospital to rule out lung problems. Sure enough, the lung test came back just fine.
Turns out that my problem was upper reflux. The inhalers that my primary care doctor had prescribed were messing with the sphincter muscle in my chest, making my reflux worse. The antibiotic I took had also contributed to the problem. Not to mention, I was drinking all sorts of acidic drinks when I had a cold (tea, juice etc) and they were also contributing to the reflux problem, making me cough.
After a few months on a PPI drug for reflux, my symptoms totally went away. I now stay off of inhalers (and acid-​causing foods) when I catch a cold.
Anyway, Dr. Talebian takes a lot of time to explain things to you and she has a terrific bedside manner. If I, or any of my loved ones ever developed any sort of respiratory problem in the future, I would not hesitate to see her again. She is very good at what she does!

Dr. Talebian is a wonderful pulmonologist in Redwood City. I am a nurse, and she was recommended to me by a physician that I work with. She is very intelligent, efficient, and adept at quickly getting to the bottom of what’s ailing you. She is board certified in three specialties, pulmonology, critical care, and internal medicine.
I went to Dr. Talebian last summer for my asthma that was acting up. She took a very thorough health history from me. She promptly sent me for allergy testing, a chest x ray, and a pulmonary function test. She prescribed new medication that helped me immediately. She was able to quickly get my asthma under control.
What really impressed me though, was that a few weeks ago, my asthma and allergies flared up again and I tried to get an urgent care appt with her. She was absolutely booked that day, but called me that afternoon and troubleshooted with me over the phone. I am in my second trimester of pregnancy, but she took the time to figure out exactly what was safe to prescribe for me, and then called in my prescriptions for me. She is truly an exceptional physician and a very caring person.
