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.

Kind, thorough, excellent work up, fully explained options.

Wonderful experience; Great bedside manner
Dr. Gilani was personable, friendly, a great bedside manner, and thorough. He took time with me and made me feel like a person, not just a time slot to check off that he had completed! I highly recommend Dr. Gilani and his staff!

Very good experience
Wonderful! As other reviewers have mentioned, very sweet and great "bedside manner". He told me several times, "Don't worry, I am going to take care of you." I told him that those words are very welcome. He also invited me to call for any reason, something that many other doctors discourage. Highly recommend him.

He explained everything in detail but was more concerned about his friend who did my surgery than helping me. Told me to go to pain management. I was told for PN you need a neurologist. I was not looking to fault anyone just need answers and a doctor to treat this problem. I still need help. Feel like he didn’t want me as a patient since his “friend” ref me to pain management.
