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 caring physician. He had a calm demeanor and explains things welll

Knee injury…
Dr Maher was on time for our 8:15 am appointment. I first met the nurse, then x rays, then Dr Maher. He was very nice, efficient, listened to my explanation of my knee injury. He then examined the knee, we reviewed the x-rays and determined I would need an MRI to see if I tore my meniscus. He was very professional and nice at the same time! I would definitely recommend him.
