Monique, I just checked with "Health Grades" -- a site where surgeons and facilities are graded based on national standards.  Dr. Eslami is NOT a "health grades" doctor.  Below is taken from their web pages at http://www.healthgrades.com/directory_search/physician/profi les/dr-md-reports/Dr-Afshin-Eslami-MD-CFBF1137/awards-and-re cognitions.  Good luck to you. 

What are HealthGrades Five-Star and Recognized Doctors?

HealthGrades Five-Star Doctors Are:
  1. Affiliated with a hospital rated highly by HealthGrades
  2. Board certified in the specialty they practice
  3. Have never had their license restricted/revoked
  4. Free of state or federal disciplinary actions
  5. Free of any malpractice claims

HealthGrades Recognized Doctors Are:

  1. Board certified in the specialty they practice
  2. Have never had their license restricted/revoked
  3. Free of state or federal disciplinary actions
  4. Free of any malpractice claims

Thanks for the info. I think I'm just going to have to go through the appeal process again and will have to use this info as the reasons that I'm appealing. Thanks again.
