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 clean facility, clean bathrooms, very nice ladies to assist you when you arrive & they check you in immediately.

Patient of Dr Abidi for 20 years.
Dr Abidi has been patient at every visit, regardless of how busy he was. He explains all aspects of the injury, all possible treatments and outcomes. He’s available for further questions at later times. He has always been supportive and willing to offer consultations if requested. Dr Abidi maintains a professional demeanor while demonstrating his keen focus on his patients. He is eager to share the latest studies and treatments with his patients as he learns about them. I not only trust him with my medical needs but also those of family. I can recommend him without any reservations.

Good doctor, horrible office
Dr Abidi is a good ortho surgeon, but unfortunately his office is horrible. They cannot figure out how to schedule. Every appointment for the past 12 months has been at least 45 min late. When I check in I always ask if they’re running on time, and every time they say yes. Every time they are late. I’m tired of their unprofessional conduct and their lack of respect for their patients’ time. It’s just an unacceptable way to run a business.
