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.

Worst bedside manner I've ever seen
I went to CAMC TV emergency room complaining of stabbing pain under my left rib cage. I explained I was worried I had an infected or enlarged spleen. With NO examination, no blood work and no ultrasound evaluation, Dr. Hossam Tarakji said I have a stomach ulcer and to take prilosec. He then said "the emergency room is for emergencies" (I was the only patient in the ER at 0400) He turfed me off to a gastroenterologist with a 2 month wait period. I will continue to suffer with pain and seek future treatment elsewhere. CAMC needs to evaluate their staff
What went well
  • Wait times
What could be improved
  • Didn't listen or answer questions
  • Didn't explain conditions well
  • Staff wasn't friendly
  • Appointment was rushed
  • Didn't trust the provider's decisions
