How we determine this score?
Every rating you see is the product of a two-step process that blends data
science with human clinical insight:
Comprehensive review sweep We
collect every publicly available patient review we can find—Google, Yelp,
Healthgrades, ZocDoc, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, forums, and more.
Duplicate or spam entries are filtered out, and each review is time-stamped
so that newer feedback carries more weight.
13-factor sentiment analysis + expert audit
A custom language-model pipeline scores each review across the 13 dimensions
patients care about most:
Friendliness | Professionalism | Responsiveness
| Accessibility | Clarity of Explanations | Willingness to Listen | Personalization of Treatment |
Billing Transparency | Value | Recurring Praise
| Recurring Complaints | Side-Effect Education | Diet/Nutrition Guidance
The algorithm converts raw language into numerical sentiment, flags
outliers, and spots consistent themes. Finally, a board-certified
clinician reviews the automated output to ensure medical-grade accuracy
and context.
The result is a single, easy-to-read satisfaction bar that reflects real
patient experience, not marketing copy. By combining transparent methodology,
physician oversight, and continuously updated data, we deliver a score you can
trust and that meets standards for authoritative health review content.
What people are saying
Patients report thorough exams, clear explanations, and individualized hormone or weight-loss plans that target root causes and often relieve stubborn symptoms. Many note attentive follow-up calls and a willingness to adjust therapy based on feedback, leading to boosts in energy, mood, and weight control. A minority experience long waits, communication lapses, or unexpected out-of-pocket charges, raising questions about consistency and pricing. Overall, outcomes are widely viewed as worth the visit, though billing transparency could improve.

Description
Weight
Review Sentiment Quality
Tone and trust language in the most recent 10-20 reviews
25%
Recent patient feedback is largely positive, highlighting Dr. Ghayouri’s caring demeanor, knowledge, and effectiveness in treatment. Patients frequently mention feeling well cared for and trusting her expertise. There have been a few past complaints (e.g. one patient unhappy with a weight loss program’s value), but in general the tone of reviews is appreciative and speaks to genuine patient trust and satisfaction. Overall sentiment skews strongly positive, especially in the most recent comments, with only isolated negative remarks.
Review Sentiment + Rating
Adjusted for inflation; not linear
10%
Sarapy Clinic has a very limited number of reviews online, which makes the overall rating less robust. On Google there are only a couple of (very positive) reviews, and on Yelp only a handful of reviews averaging around the mid-4-star range out of 5. While the feedback is mostly good, the low volume means we have a small sample size. The few reviews it does have indicate decent satisfaction, but the scarcity of reviews and one lower Yelp rating bring down confidence in the aggregate score.
MD-Led Practice
Is the clinic led by a visible MD or board-certified physician?
10%
This clinic is clearly led by an experienced physician. Dr. Sarah K. Ghayouri (M.D.) is the founder and primary provider, with decades of medical practice experience. She is a board-certified internal medicine doctor and is highly visible as the face of the clinic. The practice isn’t run by mid-level providers or a corporate team – it’s doctor-led with Dr. Ghayouri directly involved in patient care, which strongly fulfills the MD-led criterion.
Estimated Years in Business
Based on site language, domain age and review timeline
10%
Dr. Ghayouri has been practicing medicine for over 25 years, and the Sarapy Clinic itself has been serving patients for around a decade or more in the La Jolla area. The long timeline of patient reviews and the site’s established presence suggest this is not a new or fleeting operation. The clinic shows signs of stability and longevity (including a recent office move within La Jolla), indicating well-established roots and experience in the field.
Specialization in Hormone Therapy
Is hormone optimization a core offering or a secondary add-on?
10%
Hormone optimization is a core focus of Sarapy Clinic. The clinic prominently advertises hormone-related services (for both men and women) such as Hormone Replacement Therapy for menopause, Low Testosterone treatment (TRT), thyroid hormone care, and human growth hormone therapy. This indicates that hormone balancing and optimization are central offerings rather than side services. Dr. Ghayouri’s background in internal medicine with an endocrinology emphasis further underscores that hormone therapies are a specialty here, not just an add-on.
Provider Relationship Model
Small, consistent provider model vs high-volume or anonymous feel
10%
Sarapy Clinic offers a very personalized, small-scale care model. It’s essentially a single-provider practice where patients consistently see Dr. Ghayouri herself at each visit. This continuity fosters a strong doctor-patient relationship. Reviews mention that she spends ample time listening and even follows up personally, which contrasts with high-volume clinics where care can feel impersonal. There’s no sense of an anonymous, assembly-line operation – instead patients have a one-on-one, concierge-like experience with a dedicated physician.
Unique Differentiators
TRT + HRT + GLP-1s + peptides = strong depth
10%
The clinic demonstrates several unique features that set it apart from a generic wellness center. Notably, Dr. Ghayouri offers house calls and telemedicine visits, providing concierge-level convenience and personalized care. The practice combines traditional internal medicine with wellness services – for example, in-office advanced cosmetic treatments (like laser skincare and Botox) alongside medical weight loss programs. They also emphasize a custom approach (free initial consultations and tailored plans for weight loss or hormonal issues) which is a concierge-style touch. These differentiators – personalized access to the doctor, a broad service menu in one clinic, and offerings like house calls – make the practice stand out as more than a standard hormone clinic.

Negative Flags Penalty
Subtract 5-10% for patterns like billing issues, cold tone, rushed care
-10%
While patient feedback is mostly positive, a few red flags emerged in older reviews that merit a small cautionary deduction. Some patients in the past reported issues with office staff communication and follow-up (e.g. difficulty with calls being returned or scheduling mishaps) and one review mentioned a misdiagnosis and feeling pushed toward an alternative clinic service. Additionally, one patient felt the weight loss program was expensive for what it provided. These incidents are not rampant, but they do indicate some lapses in service quality or communication in the past. There haven’t been widespread recent complaints, but the pattern of a couple of similar negative comments (even if a few years old) justifies a slight penalty to account for those concerns.
