Dr. Koolaee chose to pursue a career in medicine because she enjoys "sharing my knowledge to help others, providing guidance and offering reassurance during challenging experiences." She enjoys specializing in rheumatology because of the critical thinking that is involved in diagnosing and treating inflammatory and autoimmune diseases that can present differently in patients, even those with the same condition. 

Dr. Koolaee is an avid runner and eight-time marathon finisher. Running helps her develop focus, energy and overall happiness. She has also finished two triathlons.

I'm really sad that Dr. Koolaee is leaving. I so totally trusted her. She was awesome, always very respectful and very courteous.

Excellent provider. Her care is attentive and thorough. She is one of the 2 reasons i stay with PIH.

Was very happy with the staff in the front desk, very polite. The doctor was amazing, answered my questions, just very, very cautious on checking me out, actually touching my pain on my legs, my knees, answered all the questions, gave me very good advice. I am finally happy with seeing a really good doctor.

I think it would be nice if the doctor's offices validated parking. Thank you.

She explained arthritis to me very, very well. I was very impressed with her knowledge and how she explained it to me. She didn't give me too many options. I probably could have asked more questions. I'm not thrilled about having to take prednisone for 10 days for a minor pain from psoriatic arthritis. And I'd kind of like to know if the cream would be a good start. So that may be my fault, but I guess I wish she would have offered a few more options if I didn't want to go to the extreme measure of having prednisone for a mild pain. Perhaps I need to talk to her again, but anyway, that's my feeling on it. Thanks. I'm not sure how to end the call. I'm done.

After learning that Dr Kooleh is leaving PIH I'm very disappointed that PIH would not do every thing possible to work with The Doctor to keep her and work with her to help balance her Professional career along with just as important Personal life taking care of her family. It's a big loss for me and PIH...

I really like Dr. Koolaee--she discusses the available options, explains why there is one that she favors, and then asks if I agree and if I have any questions. She is friendly and professional, and listens to whatever I have to say. I never feels rushed with her.

I really liked Dr Roodabeh Koolaee. She was super thorough and listened to everything I had to say. Also, the mail gal that helped me double checked all the referral requests.

Dr. Koolaee is just amazing! She really listens to me and offers the best advice. She is so organized and has reviewed my profile and labs before our appointment. She is not just looking at my R.A., but seeing me as a WHOLE patient-- my mood, my other appointments, other ailments and refers to other specialists as needed, etc. So kind and considerate of the struggle with R.A. Always ends visit by asking: "Is there anything else I can do for you?" --- the epitome of putting Patients First!!! Thank you for finding her!

My checkout process was extremely long. I waited for 25 minutes for someone to finally give me my lab work sheets. It felt unprofessional, that I was kept waiting for documents.

I had an unfortunate incident with my transportation. Resolving it left me arriving past the grace period (5min). So I called and short story I was still able to be seen. So I'd like to take this opportunely to say from the beginning of my issue to walking out the door with my next appointment. To each of them involved in my being able to be seen - every single person made me comfortable, welcomed and my Dr Koolaee is beyond The Best! All the questions you asked, related to her is an absolute Treasure. Thank you.
