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.

Highly recommended
I have been a patient of Dr Haji for 9 months, since being diagnosed with breast cancer. She spent half an hour answering all my questions at my initial appointment, and ordered appropriate testing prior to surgery (genetic testing and MRI of both breasts to make sure nothing was missed due to my dense tissue.) Due to the extent of the cancer, I opted for a single mastectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy. I asked for a flat closure, which Dr Haji did herself (no need for a plastic surgeon) and really I can’t imagine a nicer scar line. It’s very neat and flat with no puckering or dog ears. Her office staff are very professional and caring as well. I don’t recommend breast cancer to anyone (haha) but enthusiastically recommend Dr Haji and her staff if you find yourself in that position.

Outstanding Dr.!!
I first was referred to Dr Haji by my primary care physician after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Her office was able to get me in for an initial consultation within 48 hrs. Dr Haji explained in very clear terms what she felt was the best option for me. She listened to my questions and concerns and answered all my questions making sure that I understood. Unlike other Dr.’s I’ve dealt with over the years, she made me feel that this was my time and she wanted to make sure I was comfortable before leaving. Over next three weeks prior to my bilateral mastectomy, she lined up additional imaging , genetic testing, lined up and coordinated with plastic surgeon, and always got back to me quickly through the online portal with answers to a multitude of questions I had during that period. She made me feel like I was her only patient On day of surgery she was there early to make sure I was comfortable. I always felt I was in good hands with a very professional, talented,and caring Dr.
