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.

Great experience with first time visit
Dr. Hussaini really took her time and listened to every thing going on with me. I really got the sense that she cared about what I had to say and appreciated her thoughtful input. I would highly recommend.

First Visit
Dr. Hussaini was very thorough, took her time, listened to me, and made me feel very comfortable. The process from check in, taking vitals, seeing the doctor, to getting labs done was very efficient with very little wait time. Thank you.

Find a different Rheumatologist
I visited Dr. Hussaini at the beginning of August after waiting 4 months to see her. The minute I walked in she ignored everything I said and immediately downplayed my symptoms, even incorrectly noting in her chart what I had said. She sent me for labs even though she had "low suspicions" that what I was saying was true and to appease me. It was impossible to get a response regarding those labs for over 10 days and found out they had been sitting on her desk for 2 days and that she was on vacation and wouldn't look them over until she got back. I received the results directly from LabCorp and they definitely show something autoimmune is going on. I reached out to her over messaging on the 25th (17 days after my appointment) to see if she had looked over them, 4 days later she said she would call me (the 29th), but I still have yet to receive a call.

I had excellent visit with Dr. Hussaini. Front desk staff clerk Nadia was friendly and professional, as was Dr. Hussaini’s nurse, Priscilla. Dr. Hussaini was knowledgeable, thorough, listened well, and answered all questions and concerns. Best of all, she was compassionate, understanding, and approachable, and formulated a treatment plan for me. I am highly satisfied with all aspects of my interaction with her and her staff. And, contrary to other reviews I read, she does treat fibromyalgia.

Dr. Hussaini & Front Office Review
Writing this review to help potential patients, not to speak negatively on anyone. I’ve had many bad experiences with this office/team and would recommend getting your care elsewhere especially if you depend on treatments to live. After 4 months of reassurance that my treatments are going to be provided, Dr. Hussaini calls me not only to tell me it is “beyond them” to properly coordinate with my insurance and another Dr. to fill out my prescription correctly/submit sufficient clinical pre authorization documentation, but that she recommends I get another rheumatologist for care moving forward. Dr. Hussaini and staff do not keep their promises, communicate effectively/promptly, don’t embody good character or subscribe to the belief of accountability and ultimately don’t care about the quality of their service. I should have gone with my gut when I met her for the first time because she judged me from the start and got an attitude when I was asking her questions about my condition.
