We were so impressed with Dr. Rahimpour. He covered everything we need to do before the procedure. Very likable person.
Dr Rahimpour is very concerned about my health. He wants to explain things so I can understand and treat me with care. I 100% trust him.
Very friendly Dr. and explained in normal Everyday language that I could understand what my diagnosis was and was very good at showing me in the MRI what was going to be done for me.
He was great doing the surgery and through out the days he did make sure things are great and they were.I recently had an appointment with him showing me everything that happened and how great the results were. After that he tested my normal medical movements that my Neurologist does and it turned out great. They were great treatments both the surgery and the visits. He's a great Surgent
Dr Rahimpour is excellent. He knows me and my history and is very concerned about my wellbeing
Excellent, clear, and professional service. [TRANSLATED]
He is very respectful makes sure he always answers all your questions. You can see he cares about you and that he wants everything to work out great.He is a great zdr.
In My Opinion Dr. Shervin Rahimpour, Is second to NONE!! He has preformed 2 prior Brain Operation on me personally before! This will now be the third brain operation. I Trust this man's work with all my heart and soul, I would not be were I am today without his knowledge and his profound expertise, and when I say that I mean that!! He is a prestigious man, prestigious surgeon, a gift to this world for what he has chosen to do with his life. I want him to know I Thank him with all my Heart and Soul¿ he has truly help with one of the Most Arduous trails I had in my life so far.. I wish him nothing but the Best Things in life and to know that you make huge differences in this World!! As I said before this MAN IS 2ND TO NONE! In my world, I wouldn't be were I'm at today without him! You better believe, and I can testify to That!! Much Love Dr. RAHIMPOUR.. Be safe and Live Well!!! You are Blessed I. So many ways! Thank you
He was very informative gave visual explanations of test we had done and gave us options for next step for potential corrective actions for the condition we had seen him for
I have been chasing GPN, YOU looked at a years worth of testing and symptoms and was not afraid to say I believe it may be Eagle Syndrome based on tests you looked at done now and in the past and listened to my symptoms intently. Stating some of the pain I described is not consistent with GPN. You looked at my records before I got there and could see we.needed to look in a different direction. I feel relief for the first time in 2 years that a physician actually listened and heard me and not afraid to say let's look in a new direction. For that I will always be grateful
He seams very kind and knowledgeable.
Dr. Rahimpour is an amazing person and Dr.
Dr. Rahinpour is caring and kind as well as an expert clinician and surgeon! Words are not adequate to describe the gratitude I have for the man who saved my son's life.
very good
All the care and the staff and doctors were excellent
Was very positive
Dr. Rahimpour was courteous and listened to my concerns. He explained himself well and allowed me to have input regarding my care going forward.
The Dr was very respectful and accommodating during all aspects of my treatment ! He's an asset to the U of U Neurosurgical team !
Excellent careful explaining special care in listening and helping me understand all procedures available to me. The steps involved in each. Made my decision easy. The care in his exam was clear and thorough. I was pleased with his gentleness.
He was 15 minutes late and answered his phone while I was there.
Enjoy Dr Rahimpour, he was very professional and very easy to talk to
He explained everything thoroughly to me so that I was able to make an educated decision about my treatment.
Needs a new name an 82 year old can pronounce.
Very thorough about explaining the possible side effects of focused ultasound
Dr. Rahimpour has excellent knowledge communicates in pleasant clear and concise language cares about patients and it shows in his great work
Dr Rahimpour was very kind and took the time to answer all my questions and addressed any concerns. I'm very grateful that I was referred to such an excellent and knowledgeable surgeon.
Very attentive and concerned about doing what is best for the patient.
What a Great Doctor, his Reputation was matched by his attention to detail and explained the issues and also arranged for Doctor Menacho to see me at the same office and day. What a Great Team.
He genuinely cared about me. He took the time to explain things. I didn't tolerate my first surgery well nothing he caused and he called me at home a couple days after I was discharged to see how I was doing.
Knowledgeable and friendly. Explained procedure and test results
Dr. Shervin Rahimpour has given great medical treatment and I am very thankful for the opportunity to do all this treatment with him.
Dr. Rahimpour explained the MRI of my brain results in a way that could be easily understood. His exam was thorough and done with concern. He was kind, cordial and compassionate and gained our trust for his knowledge and opinion quickly. We would recommend him to anyone who is needing evaluation for Deep Brain Stimulation!
He is both caring and responsive. I have felt he cares about the overall best outcome for me in the long run. Even though it took longer than expected to get an appointment, it was well worth the wait. I know he listened to every concern and desire I had and took my wishes into account with the situation.
So far the good doctor has been excellent explaining everything I'll get back to you after my DBS surgery
Excellent
Thank you Dr Rahimpour! Thanks to you I can live a normal life again!
Dr Rahimpour was very helpful, very informative, very respectful and very nice during our session.
He was very caring. He listened and provided me with all options and answered all my questions, giving me enough time to make the best decision for me. He truly cares for his patients, not for the procedure or the glory of the work but for the health of those he is treating. I have felt more at ease working with him through this process.
Dr. Shervin Rahimpour throughout this entire experience(pre-op/op/post-op) has been nothing but exceptional. Anytime there was something to review or talk about he would assure that he went over everything and answered any questions my family or I would have. He is transparent, patient, personable and very professional. His care shows through his work and I feel very blessed for all he's done for me and my family.
excellent doctor
Friendly, knowledgeable, took the time needed
Best doctor in the world
Very professional thank you for your care I'll be getting a hold of you very soon
Dr. Rahimpour was thorough, thoughtful, and professional in explaining my options for treatment and instilled great confidence in his ability to treat my health issue
He seems to be caring, sensitive provider
He went in to detail about an up coming procedure with options and what the pluses and minuses of each option.
Dr Rahimpour was very nice going over our plan and telling me what was going to happen.
He made me feel like he cared about me and that I could trust him. Very personable
Excellent Doctor.
It is quite rare to come across a Doctor that is so caring and personable as Dr. Rahimpour. Although the University Health system is considered above standard; Dr. Rahimpour ramps it up several levels. He truly treated me as if I was actually his biological brother, one of the family. When a Doctor does that, you can be extremely confident that you are getting the absolute best health care he is capable of providing. I have absolutely no hesitancy in saying that if you have the choice of getting Dr. Rahimpour, you should ask for him rather than anyone else. He goes over and beyond all expectations. His follow-up after surgery is fantastic: he has contacted me personally several times; and he has also spoken with my spouse separately. It is quite unusual for a professional of Dr. Rahimpour's status to treat his patients so personably. On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being best) Dr. Rahimpour is unquestionably a 12.
He was very nice and respectful he's also explains everything good to were I understood everything they would do during surgery I appreciate my whole visit with him I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs surgery in his specialties
He seems to me to be very good at what he does. Staff problems have to do with people communicating poorly and incompletely and pushing others around.
Dr Rahimpour is an amazing doctor that definitely cares about the wellbeing of the patients. He strives to help them in anyway possible. He takes time to listen to concerns and questions. He then addresses them with professionalism. No words can explain how appreciative I am for him. Thank you doctor Rahimpour.

We discovered many similarities in our backgrounds that made the visit even more interesting enjoyable and helped overcome any anxieties from an obviously stressful occasion because of the important decisions being made.

He took the time to explain things in tearms I could understand.
Professional, caring, clear.
He was very easy to talk to and went into detail about my tremor and discussed several options. He also reached out to Dr. Jumana Alshaikh to schedule a follow up after they meet as a team and I have that scheduled already.
Dr Rahimpour went to great lengths to ensure I understood my current condition and the various treatments we could explore to resolve said conditions.
Dr. Rahimpour is professional and caring. He has gone out of his way to arrange appointments and surgery as soon as possible to relieve my trigeminal neuralgia pain. I would definitely recommend Dr. Rahimpour to others.
Everything was great, everything went great
Dr. Rahimpour was probably not the "right" person for me to see to get relief but he was SO informative and explained my situation in a very caring and understandable way. He provided me with knowledge I have not known for 10 years since the onset of my health crisis and I have seen dozens of professionals. I almost wish, not really, I could got see him again. If I had to have brain surgery again, he would be my first choice.
Dr Rahimpour, thank you for your care!
Very positive. I feel he cares and is willing to do what he can for me with this tremor.
