Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

STAY AWAY
STAY AWAY FROM ADIL AND HIS TEAM! ADIL is one of the worst medical professionals you will ever meet! He is the main reason why my love one is not with us today! He shows absolutely zero compassion for his patients. He has some of the worst bedside manner I have ever seen in a doctor. He can get downright cruel with his patients. Adil is also a liar. He will withhold the truth about your diagnosis until it is too late to do anything about it. Lastly, Adil will push a certain hospice company down your throat, the reason he does this is because he owns it. Adil should focus less on making terrible artwork and more on learning to show compassion his patients! If you have been diagnosed with cancer STAY AWAY FROM THIS FOOL AT ALL COST

Lacks the knowledge and compassion you would expect an Oncologist to have. He also allows personal beliefs to dictate the medical approach (studies and success of treatment is disregarded if it does not fit into his lifestyle choices). In times of life or death, this was a waste. Please go to someone else.
