Mirwais Saifi, MD, Santee CA

May 2023

Dr. Saifi and Staff continues to provide me with service and care not found at every doctors offices. He takes great notes and reads notes from colleagues when you are seen by specialists. That level of consistency is ideal for someone that is seen by several practitioners and requires they all be on the same page. Glad I found him when I moved to Santee a couple of years ago.

Dr. Saifi is my primary care physician and is the most informative caring Dr. I have ever had. He treats our whole family. All of with different issues. He guided my son to his best health. He is simply amazing. When I leave his office I feel gratitude that he cares about me and that he is my Doctor. Thank you Dr. Saifi!

My family and I love Dr. Saifi! He is very thorough! His office staff are very accommodating as well when it comes to getting appointments in a timely manner! Best doctor I have ever had!

Dr. Safi is a great Dr. I am so glad I found a Dr.who takes the time with the patient and explains things where the patient can understand. The facility is clean and is in a great location with top of the line technology. The office staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Safi is one of the most knowledgeable doctors I have met.

Excellent doctor spent lots of time with you
at the visit explains everything at the visit

I have been seeing Dr Saifi for the past six years. He’s a great listener and caring person/doctor who truly tries to help. He treats his patients like family members with his respectful ways. He’s an awesome human as well as a doctor!

I couldn’t be more pleased with my primary care doctor. Dr Saifi is so fantastic! He truly cares for his patients. Dr. Saifi takes extended time with each patient to ensure the best treatment plan possible. As a patient of his for four years, I feel better now than I have in quite some time. He’s an amazing person who really cares about each person he sees. He’s extremely knowledgeable and takes time to explain everything to you so you feel comfortable with every decision on your health. The office is easy to fine and lots of parking the office staff is friendly and swift. I definitely recommend this doctor to anyone looking for a new primary care physician that truly goes above and beyond!

If I could give negative stars, I would. I have been going to this doctor's office for almost 36 years, since I was nine years old. I am turning 45 years old this year.

Dr. Saifi is the third doctor since the 80's to have this practice at this location and he is by far the worst doctor I have ever had. I have never been yelled at by a doctor. I have never been gaslit by a doctor. I have never had a doctor make me cry. He did all of that yesterday in the span of just a few minutes.

I ended up getting out of there as quickly as I could, after calling him a few choice names while crying, without getting my prescription refilled. That was a mess getting that all sorted.

The worst part is, this office that pretty much has my entire medical history, this staff that has been there for so many years, I'll never return to again. I'm not surprised in the least to find multiple reviews that sound exactly like mine and how on earth he has any positive reviews is beyond me.

I filed a grievance with my insurance and will be changing my PCP immediately, which has left me in tears these last two days. I am still in shock that this happened. If he's been good to you, that's great. If you're a woman, be careful of this 51-year-old man-child because he is never changing.

He’s an all around great dr. Takes great care of his patients would recommend to anyone in the area!

Dr. Saifi is amazing! He takes the time to hear me out. He is caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and professional. He thinks outside the box and always provides various options. He values me as a person and shows how much he cares by engaging in conversation and reviewing my previous medical history with me. He must schedule appropriately because he takes his time with each patient but you don't have to wait more than 5 minutes from your appointment time to be seen. Best doctor I have had!

Dr. Mirwais Saifi has been my elderly parents’ doctor for over 2 years. He is truly invaluable! Dr. Saifi is compassionate, knowledgeable, and will always take the time to provide in-depth explanations for his diagnoses and treatment plans. We are so grateful for the quality care that Dr. Saifi provides. In addition, Dr. Saifi’s assistant, Nora, is incredibly kind, professional and responsive.

Dr. Saifi is an excellent doctor and I would recommend him for new patients. He is smart, thorough, honest, and personable in nature. After my family doctor of several decades had passed, Dr. Saifi became my primary care physician. He pointed out that I was taking too many medications along with recognizing a few irregularities in my bloodwork. I live a much healthier lifestyle because of the information I've received from Dr. Saifi and am grateful that he took me as a new patient.

I’ve used Dr. Guptas office for almost 20years, my wife was so comfortable w/Dr. Gupta she started going herself. Dr. Saifi jumps in when Dr. Gupta retired and wow what a difference. This is a very arrogant Dr.he talks down to all his patients, I heard on a few occasions while walking down the hall to the bathroom that he doesn’t like most of his patients, we’re all not worth his time (apparently he’s only in for the BIG money), most of our problems are above his paygrade for what his return on investment is. I listened to him threaten to call CPS because the patient differed with his opinion, what the hell. At the end of the day me and my wife are no longer patients, it was a long run with Dr. Gupta but I don’t trust my health and safety with this character.
Rude/ Arrogant/ Money motivated/ untrustworthy.

Dr. Saifi is the best family physician ever. He is very trustworthy, thorough, patient, compassionate, full of wisdom, and knowledge. He really cares for his patients and it shows through her actions

Dr. Mirwais Saifi is very knowledgeable and up to date with modern medicine and technology up to today’s standards besides his great expertise in the medical field he takes his time and great care to all his patients I had a medical condition and went to several doctors who weren’t helpful. But Dr. Mirwais Saifi answered all my concerns thoroughly and helped me with my concerns this just goes to show he goes above and beyond for his patients truly a great and kind Doctor

Dr Saifi has been my PCP for years. He is kind, honest, bright and provides more face time than PCPs I had in the past. I feel well informed about current medical information, treatment and preventative care by Dr Saifi. His staff is also super friendly and helpful!

Dr. Saifi is one of the most caring and knowledgeable doctors I have been to. He is extremely thorough and competent. Dr. Saifi is good at listening to any problem you may have and finding a suitable treatment. I feel that he provides me with the same care and concern as someone in his own family. I have been so happy with the care I receive from Dr. Saifi that 2 of my family members are now patients of his.

Dr. Saifi is a great doctor. I've never had any issues. He always listens to my needs as a patient. He also has a great sense of humor, makes me feel more comfortable. I highly recommend him as a PCP.
