My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

I aim to be each of my patients advocate and to work with them individually to help them reach their health goals. My MDVIP practice gives me the necessary time to be detailed and thorough and focus on cardiovascular prevention and ensuring that all my patients are up to date on all their routine health maintenance needs on an annual basis. With new and improved tests including the Cleveland heart panel and non-invasive testing to screen for earliest signs of arterial thickening, I am able to have a more personalized focus on each of my patients and help them reduce their cardiovascular risk. I look forward to getting to know each of my patients on a personal level as I believe it allows me to better take care of them. My own personal interests include physical fitness and healthy nutrition and I enjoy sharing my experiences with my patients and getting them to be more proactive and involved with exercise and healthy eating. I see all of my own patients in the hospital setting and in rehab facilities and if need be, perform home visits as well on my home-bound patients. I enjoy organizing walks and exercise related events for my patients to help them get more motivated and involved in their health-care. I also have a geriatric background having completed a fellowship at UCLA and this helps me utilize a multi-disciplinary approach to keep my elder patients out of the hospital and to try to keep them as young as possible.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Lashkari

from Ted in CA February 11, 2024 for Saman Lashkari, MD

My primary care physician doesn't use capitalization or punctuation when he sends me texts or emails. But, the important point in that sentence is that he sends me texts and emails. It's impossible to feel more secure about how my medical needs are met that I feel about how Dr. Saman Lashkari attends to them. Like so many of my friends and relatives, I always had trouble… See more

from Faith in CA February 10, 2024 for Saman Lashkari, MD

There really are not enough words to explain how fabulous Dr. Saman Lashkari is.
I have never felt more “heard” and taken care of by any other doctor in my 66 years of life.
He is always available to answer my questions, no matter how big or small or no matter where he is (Fiji) or where I am (Portugal).
He goes the extra mile to find the answer if he does not know it right… See more

I cannot express the appreciation and admiration I feel towards Dr. Lashkari. He is easy to reach, always ready to listen and make suggestions if necessary, and I feel that he truly cares about me. I consider him not only my doctor, but a true friend who has always been there for me.

from Maura in CA February 10, 2024 for Saman Lashkari, MD

I’ve had many health problems due to my Immune Deficiency (CVID) and this past year was one of the roughest as I was unwell and so fatigued all the time. The physical, emotional and mental toll of being “sick” all the time was huge. But Dr Lashkari was always there for me. Ready with a response to my texts, emails and even a call from urgent care when I broke my foot. His caring goes above… See more

from Tobi in CA January 22, 2024 for Saman Lashkari, MD

Last November I took a trip to visit my 100 year old Aunt. My son was picking me up at the airport. I fell at the airport and hit my head VERY hard. I had to be transported by ambulance to a trauma center in Las Vegas, Nevada where I had a horrible experience. They sent me home to my Aunt's telling me I was lucky that I didn't have a brain bleed, but telling me nothing else.… See more
