If you’re living in Southern Highlands and want a doctor who actually knows your name without looking at a chart, Ben Kermani, MD (often known as Dr. Behzad Kermani), is a staple of our local community. His office is located at 11920 Southern Highlands Pkwy, tucked into the Graves, Morrisson & Trent Building. It’s a quiet, professional spot that feels a lot more like a private practice and a lot less like those massive, "medical factory" clinics you find closer to the city center.
What really sets Dr. Kermani apart is his "old-school" approach to medicine. He’s an Internist with over 25 years of experience, and he’s one of those rare doctors who genuinely listens. Many of us locals appreciate that he doesn't just rush you out the door with a prescription; he takes the time to explain what’s going on with your health in plain English. He has a big focus on preventive care—things like managing high blood pressure, diabetes, and sleep apnea—so you can stay healthy and active in the long run.
A major benefit for Southern Highlands residents is the availability of Kermani Concierge Medicine. For those who want more direct access, his practice offers a concierge model that includes unhurried visits and even telehealth options. This is a game-changer if you have a busy schedule or just want the peace of mind that comes with being able to reach your physician when you really need them. Even for standard primary care, his office is known for being efficient with referrals and following up on lab results, which takes a lot of the stress out of navigating the healthcare system.
The vibe of the office is welcoming and calm, which helps a lot if you’re already feeling under the weather. The staff, including favorites like Eli, are often praised by neighbors for being super helpful with insurance questions and making sure appointments stay on schedule. Whether you’re coming in for a routine physical or need help managing a chronic condition, Dr. Kermani has a way of making you feel like a partner in your own health. It’s just solid, compassionate care right here in our own neighborhood.
