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.

Hidden Gem!
Dr. Hakim is a hidden gem. My mother would be dead without him. All of the other doctors and NPs ignored all of her symptoms and passed her off as being "anxious" and recommended that she gets more anxiety meds, even all of the other female NPs and nurses did this. But not Dr. Hakim, he is compassionate, extremely professional, listens to ALL OF HIS PATIENTS, and is a Doctor that actually and wholeheartedly cares about his work and profession, and it shows. It turned out my mom had life-threatening sepsis, and without urgent attention she probably would not be here right now. My mother and myself could not recommend and thank Dr. Hakim more, he is a true asset.

The Best Doctor!
This doctor is much better than all the other providers that were at the facility my dad was staying at. He actually showed up himself and saw my father right away. The other doctors and NPs at this facility were terrible, they would never show up, and when they did they actually took care of my dad's needs and was very kind and empathetic to him, and provided exceptional care, much better than the all of the other providers. I highly recommend him.

I have been in and out of the hospital and doctors offices for many years now. I have never left a review before but after having Dr. Hakim as my doctor I felt I had to leave one. He is so nice and extremely knowledgeable. I have never seen anything as scary take over the medical system as the Corona Virus. But Dr. Hakim knew exactly what to do at a time when none of my other doctors or the other medical staff knew how to handle or care for this vicious virus. And even throughout this he maintained an excellent sense of humor and calm. I don't know how I would have gotten through this time without him to be honest. This doctor is a true gem and Corona Virus expert.

Dr. Hakim is an amazing doctor, especially during COVID-19. He was very thorough and practiced excellent hygiene protocols. He listened to all of my concerns and developed a plan that worked for me. Dr. Hakim made me feel very comfortable and safe during this pandemic and my recovery went very well. Thank you Dr. Hakim!

Poor bedside manner and bad communication. Lack of concern for patients who cannot fend for themselves. Cannot say much right now until a certain family member is discharged from a certain rehab facility
