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.

- Didn't explain anything - Appointment was rushed. He talked to me for literally 5 minutes and then ushered me out. - He did an unnecessary colonoscopy, when I was just seeing him for an ulcer in my throat. He didn't even tell me during the appointment that he was going to do it. I didn't find out until the front office staff scheduled me for it. My GP was confused as to why he was even doing it. After reading the other reviews it seems this is something he does to a lot of people. I don't want to say it's for the money, but I don't come to any other conclusion. - After the procedure he came up to me when I was still groggy from the anesthesia and talked to me for maybe 3 minutes. He prescribed medication I had taken in the past that didn't work, and when I tried to talk to him about it, he cut me off and walked away. I ended up having to see another doctor for the appropriate medication. - I would absolutely not recommend this doctor to anyone.

I had two procedure done by DR Bababknia the first one was colonoscopy and the second one was removal laser hemorrhoid ,I am 32 years old female and he pushed me to do colonoscopy procedure which I really did not need it. He has surgical center in Irvine where he is doing his procedure like endoscopy and colonoscopy ,He is using his patient for money for his center . He is not trustable and I do not recommend him at all.
