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.

LIFE SAVER.
I've been seeing Dr. Imam for longer than I can remember. While he initially missed a cancer diagnosis doing a routine EGD, taking biopsies for a pathology report, proved critical for the cancer detection. It was through his insistence that I have a routine EGD that ultimately saved my life. Yesterday, 9-4-24, I celebrated my 6th anniversary of being cancer free. Without Dr. Imam I would not be here today. Do I recommend Dr. Imam even at his current age? ABSOLUTELY!!!Dale Payne

After over a month and two phone calls, I am still waiting for a copy of the biopsy results and getting the prescription problem corrected and filled. A good, professional, and courteous doctor during the procedure but a very poor follow-up. This needs to be corrected.
