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.

What I Call " A REAL DOCTOR "
He is the only Doctor that offered to help me in the State of Iowa out of hundreds of medical professionals which includes many before I saw him and too many since I saw him. I will keep private for now what he did and I am still desperate for help similar to how he would help: but I think he is retired from the location I went to. He did what I call what Old School Medical Professionals Do which I rarely see anymore. He studied my file before seeing me. I am Old School... I always will be.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Al-Shash?
I met him in about 1980 for allergy assessment. he tested me and started me a a shots program. Over time I have seen him several times. He listens, he asks questions and is an informed and great diagnostician. He gives me plenty of time. He respects what I say and ask. He is a dying breed of doctors who take time and spend the effort to get to the bottom of their patient's symptoms. Friendly, open and honest. I'd recommend him to anyone seeking a great, friendly, experienced doctor.
