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.

Very comfortable with Dr. Thwainey
Comfortable environment and staff are very professional, friendly and very understanding.

I would recommend Dr. Sam (and his brother Jalal) to anyone. I have had many previous family physicians in the past and so far, Dr. Sam has been the best doctor yet. He is very caring and shows the utmost concern for whatever your illness is. Highly recommended.

I switched from priority health to Hap and lost my primary care physician. After a sudden gym accident I found myself with a sever shoulder injury and according to HAP no current PCP. After an ER visit and many calls to local doctors in my network I was finally accepted day of to Dr. Thwainey. As I arrived he not only referred me to a orthopedic specialist but order an MRI for me. His staff went over and above to get me seen ASAP for the MRI and ortho specialist! Amazing

I first met Dr. Thwainey a year ago after my college graduation when I finally Ade the decision to receive help after 10+ years with depression. I knew I could trust him from my very first meeting when he commented on how I always sit hunched over with my arms crossed, and so he made me get up and stand there with my arms outstretched and asking if it was really that bad, making me laugh. Since then he's spent more time helping me than I ever would have expected from any doctor.

I would NEVER recommend Bassam Thwainey to a living soul. He is hot tempered, arrogant and rude. The only reason he got one star is because the survey doesn't allow for zero stars
