Nima Arabani, DC

BEWARE!
This review is for the «Doctor», not his employees. I have frequented this office for massage and cupping. Taryn and Vanessa are great.
A few months ago Dr. Arabani recommend a series of food allergy tests for me through Genova hoping to see if what I was eating might be causing health problems. The tests were $ 2700 retail, but I was told I only paid $ 218 and the rest was covered by insurance. Arabani sends e-​mails out to numerous potential patients trying to push this test stating they are covered. Knowing how insurance companies work I asked if he was sure. He said he was, but if I got a bill from Genova just don’t pay it and they will not try to collect. Well… I like my credit rating enough not to take him at his word, so I asked him to call my insurance company and confirm coverage. A few days later he told me everything was covered.
I plopped down a $ 218 co-​pay and got the test done. A few weeks later the claim was denied. A little later I got a $ 230 (thank God not $ 2700) bill from Genova. When confronted about the bill Arabani once again said to ignore it.
So in the end I end up having to pay almost $ 500 for a test he said was covered and his answer to the situation is just don’t pay the bill. After this review I am going to see what Genova thinks of his recommendation.
Another tidbit… I was not given instructions on how to prepare for the test by the good «Doctor», so my $ 500 in tests were inconclusive.
Even though there is proof our insurance does not cover these test Arabani continues to advertise to my wife’s fellow employees they are. When my wife told him the e-​mails were misleading and she would warn he fellow employees Arabani just blew her off.
On the same email Arabani also advertises $ 10 co-​pays on acupuncture for my wife’s company, but in actuality it is $ 35. Check out a preceding review for details.
What it boils down to is Arabani seems to be willing to uses inaccurate information to get people in the door.

Edited review:
I thought he was scamming… which in a way he is…
He led me to believe that the co-​pay was only 10 bucks a visit. So he scheduled me waaay in advance for like 4 weeks, twice a week. I made it to the 8^th visit and then he says… by the way, the copay is 36 not 10. Which is BIG difference! So I ended up paying 182 bucks out of pocket that day to make up for the seven visits that I paid 10 instead of 36. He took all my insurance info… you would think he would have been honest about it from the get go. Don’t rope people in by saying its a different price than it is… Especially when you advertise the price and make it seem like a great deal for ViaSat employees (which is what I am and my insurance was supposed to cover it) and his practice is right next door to work inside the gym ViaSat pays for for the employees… its a feeding ground for him to bring people in under false assumptions
He’s a good doctor, but a shady businessman.
GET YOUR RECEIPTS FROM HIM. PAY WITH CARD SO YOU HAVE A RECORD

I have suffered from back pain my whole adult life. I have been to many different chiropracters and still had pain. I was recommend Dr. Arabani by a friend and couldn’t be happier. With his holistic and comprehensive approach am now free of stubborn back pain. I was very impressed and would highly recommend Dr. Arabani.

I have been seeing Dr. Arabani since the summer of 2011. I was dubious about chiropractic therapy. I had experienced other chiropractors in the past that I felt had done me more harm than good. However, I was needing to address a number of different health issues for which typical Western medicine offered no recognition, let alone help. I was interested in finding a holistic approach to my health care. I actually found «Doc» when I redeemed a massage groupon to a local clinic. He happened to be standing in the hallway when I exited and the massage therapist introduced us. Since he was also a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and an acupuncturist, I let go my trepidation and scheduled an appointment. That was three years ago; I have been seeing him ever since. From the start this guy has been accessible, professional, knowledgeable and above all caring. Quite frankly, I was astounded at the time this gentleman took with me to see that I got on and maintained a path to recovery and healing and healthy living. I would never hesitate to recommend Doctor Arabani to anyone seeking good health. He’s a nice guy; he’s a kind person. And he’s an ethical business person as well. I can’t say enough good things about him.

Great doctor. He takes his time with you, gets to know you and then shows you what he believes is good for your treatment. Smart and capable doctor.
