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.

Knowledgeable. Explains clearly. & takes time explaining w/diagrams making sure he is understood thoroughly. Highly recommend to others.

He got angry and said he was going to cancel the order for my cancer treatment. I don't know if he did or not (no treatment yet) but even if it was 'just' a threat it was cruel to make fear for my life.

We went to Dr. Abdulla for a second opinion, were referred from City of Hope as we wanted to stay local. We found him to be very caring, personable and knowledgeable. He made us feel at ease and we were impressed by his expertise, compassion.
