Dr. Rahbar has been an absolute game-changer for me. After seeing multiple gastroenterologists who chalked up my symptoms to SIBO without success of an approach to treat me, Dr. Rahbar took a truly holistic approach. He helped uncover the root causes—which included mold exposure and tick-borne illnesses—that were keeping my body inflamed and unwell. His thorough care addressed not just the symptoms but the underlying issues, and working with him has completely changed my life. The staff are also amazing—so supportive and easy to work with throughout the process. I can’t recommend Dr. Rahbar highly enough!

I love working with Dr. Rahbar and his team. Like many others, I struggled to get a diagnosis for my symptoms, and I often felt like I wasn't being heard by several doctors. This was even more challenging because I was living overseas at the time. When I found Dr. Rahbar, it felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. He took the time to listen, showed genuine care, and was able to identify the root of my symptoms. I followed his treatment plan, and it made a significant difference in my quality of life and overall well-being. Although I occasionally see Dr. Rahbar for check-ups, I feel like I’ve graduated from needing regular care.

Dr Rahbar is amazing, by far the best Dr I’ve ever had. Before seeing Dr Rahbar I had an array of different health problems and I couldn’t figure out what was causing them, but after working with him, and identifying the problems, all my symptoms have gone away and I finally feel healthy again. A great doctor and an amazing person, forever thankful for Dr Rahbar for getting me healthy again.

My Son has been working with Dr. Rahbar since May 2024 and we are ecstatic with the care and protocol thus far. My son has been fighting CIRS and GI issues for 2 years, have gone to a plethora of doctors and have a folder 6 inches thick of tests, procedures and consultations. It wasn't until Dr. Rahbar took on my son's case, the needle is now moving in a positive direction. He has engineered a plan to get my son back to health and we have already seen positive results. He has seen my son twice in LA, and the remainder have been Telemed visits. Every protocol is well written out and he explains everything he is doing and what each element of the protocol is being utilized for. He has written a letter on behalf of my son for medical insurance coverage for procedures and/or prescription care. One thing that has impressed me is Dr. Rahbar's timeliness of returning messages or concerns. He exuberates confidence in his care for my son and based on the results thus far, this has instilled a positive mindset for my son. I can't recommend this practice enough INCLUDING his staff; especially Andrea for scheduling, billing, and helping me through the process. She has been so patient with me and always has a positive demeanor. Thank you ALL at LA Integrative Gastroenterology & Nutrition.

Dr. Rahbar and his staff are the most attentive and caring GI team I lave ever experienced. His integrative approach has helped me sustain remission. He spends an hour with me every time we need to meet and views our work as a collaboration. He takes the time to put the whole puzzle together and treats me like a whole person and individual. I am very grateful to him and his staff.

I have many unique issues and Dr. Rahbar has literally changed my life. I was in extreme chronic stomach pain and we couldn't figure out what was going on. He worked with me and we now have gotten to the point that my pain has significantly decreased and often is no longer affecting me. I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to see a Dr. that truly listens, and works WITH you, it's Dr. Rahbar. Thank you Dr. Rahbar.

So i started seeing Dr Rahbar last year. Yes, he is expensive but no other doctor was able to help me out anyways so i tried giving him a try to see how it would go. His staff is great, andrea, kenneth and team does a great job of helping you out and your concerns.

However, the real issue is still with the actual treatment. I was diagnosed with SIFO, Gerd and lyme and i was able to find a lyme doctor and get the treatment but issues with my small intestine and GERD still persist. My Gerd was TERRIBLE to the point i had trouble swallowing food but it was very difficult to get a prescription from Dr Rahbar which i hope he did early on and not wait as long as he did. Instead i spent 1000s of dollars on supplements which didn’t really help much and i was still in terrible pain and discomfort throughout. I’m not even entirely sure how much my candida and SIFO has improved because i’m still not to the point that i can eat wheat and dairy as normally as i used to, which as an indian was a staple of my diet until this sickness, and a lot of my symptoms still persist and as a last resort i’m going to go to india later this year to get treatment after spending excess of 12-13k which really stings. Heck, i’ve run out of space in my cabinet for another supplement bottle.
I am saddened to admit that Dr Rahbar wasn’t able to help me as much as i had hoped for and that i have given up on his treatment now. Also i feel like my illness wasn't taken as seriously, Dr Rahbar would never come prepared for any appointment nor was I treated in a very humane manner.

Edited after the response: I appreciate that Dr Rahbar personally took time out of his busy schedule to kindly reply to my review. I recall asking for tradiitonal therapy multiple times during my visits since the alternative therapy was never much effective and more costly. I have been doing everything i could on my end to overcome my issues many months before i started seeing Dr Rahbar. I came to him atleast 40% better all from my own efforts. All the hours and hours of studying that i had to do. Finding cases like mine and studying test cases and treatments. My Upper GI solutions ( to some extent ) i had to find on my own. The right dosages for my SIFO i had to figure out on my own, the right supplement combinations, supplement timings, the right doctor for my lyme treatment i had to find on my own ( there was no way i could have afforded the doctor that the practice suggested ). I try my very best to make every right choice every single day. I do not drink at all ( almost 3 years sober ), smoke ( never did ), i have given up so much on my food choices ( the ones that i grew up on which sucks ), i exercise everyday ( always did ), i have changed apartments, worked extremely hard throughout the suffering and managed to move to a low stress job and sooo much more and done everything i can on my own end to do what is necessary. My dissappointment is simply due to the fact that i do not believe Dr Rahbar put in that much effort for me. So many of my test results and especially my endoscopy report was never even discussed once.

In terms of withholding treatment, i came to Dr Rahbar early april of 2023 and complained a lot about the fact that i am having a lot of upper GI symptoms and having trouble swallowing. It took Dr Rahbar over a month, at the end of may 2023 to prescribe me something and that too over the counter even after doing multiple tests and constant messaging that i’m in pain.

I just personally feel abandoned throughout this process as i feel i did whatever i could but it was never a two way street as i still suffered throughout the process. The answer to most situations for me was “okay, let’s try this supplement bottle”.

And i completely understand that the “Must Read” section saves the doctor from liability since that is of higher priority. 🙂

Cordially and Respectfully,

Dr Rahbar is the greatest Dr I’ve ever met. I was sick for about 2 years with horrible GI symptoms before I found him. Nausea, bloating, sick to my stomach, weight loss, couldn’t digest anything. I saw 4 GI Doctors who were clueless. Most told me it was IBS and would try and treat symptoms with prescription drugs. They made things worse. My first visit with Dr Rahbar he listened to my story and my symptoms and he told me exactly what he thought was going on with me. After some simple lab testing (urine sample ) the results proved his hypothesis correct. He then came up with a plan for me to fix my issues and within 1 year I was feeling much better. Now 2 years later and I am 95-100% all thanks to him. I don’t know where I would be without him.
