Unfortunately I didn’t have a good experience with Dr Daneshvar and his team. A routine, full body MRI from Function Health showed what was likely a cancerous lesion on my prostate. It took me two months to get in to see Dr Daneshvar for a consultation. Dr Daneshvar told me he would order, on a rush, a specific MRI of my prostrate. When I called UCI two weeks after the consultation for an update I was told that the MRI had not been ordered because the notes from my appointment with Dr Daneshvar were incomplete. I was assured that the notes would be completed and the MRI would be ordered. When I checked again four days later the MRI still hadn’t been ordered by Dr Daneshvar. He seemed like a knowledgeable and empathetic doctor but the process to get a simple MRI was not handled properly and that made me lose faith in him and his team.

UPDATE: I was contacted personally by Dr. Daneshvar on the weekend by phone and he offered a very genuine apology for the errors that were made.
