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.

Neck injections
Dr El-Khatib really took the time to listen to me during our initial visit since I had a long history with chronic daily headaches. We are in the middle of narrowing down what the cause and best treatment might be, and I’m very happy with the progress we are making. The injections I have had have gone very smoothly.

I am not a fan of this doctor.
Dr. El-Khatib was flippant, made me wait a long time, did not take the time to explain my back pain, told me I should sit more when I told him the pain increases with activity, and told me I would have to wait months for treatment because he is very busy. I am not a fan and would not recommend.

Dr. El Khatib is the best physician I have seen in a long time. He genuinely cares about his patients and listens to our concerns and problems. Best of all he takes the time to explore all possibilities until the medical issue is solved. I have been to many doctors who pass difficult diagnosis to other doctors. I highly recommend Dr. El Khatib.
