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.

Horrible
Dr Hijazi walked in and essentially treated me like a drug addict. He was horrible. I was so upset because I was in a low place in the first place. His attitude towards me was uncalled for and absolutely unprofessional.

Confused
I have been in pain management for 15 years and on pain medication. When I saw this doctor appointment was so rushed that I left very confused. I paid $325 in cash before services were rendered, and I left with no treatment plan. He told me he will not be writing me the medication that I had been on for years, but did write a one time medication that I am allergic to. which was noted in my paperwork. I also told him that I paid $325 cash that I really don’t have for no trtmt plan. And he told me no refunds. They are now not returning my calls. I wonder if the medical board will? I only gave it one star review because I cannot give a zero.

Dr Hijazi is working hard to try and find a solution to my pain problem. In the meantime he is not letting me suffer as much as possible.

I have suffered from chronic pain for over 20 years. Firas Hijazi, MD provides me the best relief using RF Ablation and other methods which reduced the need for Opioids. Worked hard to get me approved through my insurance company when I was suddenly dropped without sufficient notice to continue treatment.

This doctor does not listen, all he does is talk when you try to talk. He does not work well with your other treating physicians and undermines them. He is not knowledgeable about medications or their chemical makeup. He will accuse you of being a drug seeker on the streets bc his lack of knowledge to some everyday medications people are prescribed. This doctor is a real joke! Save yourself the headache.

I didn't feel that I was respected or heard at all!! I was sent to him for pain relief but I already had a script, so they made me feel like I was just there to get the "pills". They told me to get X-rays of my pain areas. I did. They told me it was just arthritis! ! I have been struggling with Lupus for 18 yrs. I had to tell them that. They don't treat Lupus. Didn't want them to treat my Lupus!!! I needed them to do what they do. Help me with the PAIN MY LUPUS CAUSES ME!!! FAILED

I saw Dr. Hijazi this week, and I was so pleased. He was kind and had a wonderful bedside manner. I gave me many options to help control my chronic pain. I would recommend him to anyone that suffers every day of their life. I saw another doctor in hopes that he could help me , and he was nothing like Dr. Hijazi. I will certainly continue to see Dr. Hijazi. He is a first class man. His staff could not have been better. I had to wait for an hour, but that was fine with me.

“To echo the other star reviews, the doctor and his staff have been extremely helpful to me with a variety of my issues. Despite having a busy practice, I’m almost always able to schedule an appt. within a few days of my calling and receive a response to my email or phone questions often the same day. I’ve consulted many MDs in my life, and it’s rare I’ve found one as knowledgalble, accommodating, and concerned as Dr. Hijazi!
