Meet Saman Lashkari, MD
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.
Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.
MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Testimonials from patients of Saman Lashkari, MD
A little over a year ago I became a patient of Dr. Lashkari.
from Barbara in CA • March 6, 2014
A little over a year ago I became a patient of Dr. Lashkari. My husband had been seeing Dr. Lashkari for many years and always got such excellent care, so I decided to make the switch. I also thought it would be good for us to go to the same doctor.
My first issue was high blood pressure. I had been on medication previously and Dr. Lashkari could have told me just to take more, but he said he Read more...
Being retired and on a fixed income at the present time, it was a difficult decision at first financially when Dr. Lashkari joined MDVIP.
from Sheila in CA • December 2, 2014
Being retired and on a fixed income at the present time, it was a difficult decision at first financially when Dr. Lashkari joined MDVIP. Soon after we thought about it we came up with our choice as we could not bare to lose the doctor we depend on so much for managing our healthcare at our older age. He is such a good listener and has researched difficult situations with special illnesses and Read more...

from Alfred in CA • February 17, 2015
It was Sunday evening, about 7: PM, when my wife called me into the bedroom. She had gone to bed a few hours earlier because of back pain, and was using a heating pad. She showed me her back, and I was shocked. A huge area on her back was bright red, there were huge blisters, and some dark gray areas.
I immediately called Dr. Lashkari on his after-hours cell phone. He asked me to photograph Read more...
