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.

Always in a hurry. Never listens or explains anything. Treats you as though you were a child.

I did not like her beside manner at all. She was rude and dismissive. It became apparent that she hadnt even read my chart when I asked her about my condition and her response was who told you that Then she flipped through my chart and dropped the subject. Never answered my question. I had never seen her before. She was filling in for the regular doctor. I would never recommend her. She is a number pusher. Not a doctor.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Nijmeh?
would never recommend this physician to anyone, she is always in a hurry and rude. She used to be affiliated with dr. consentino for at least 2 years, I asked that she did not take care of me. I felt like I bothered her and I considered myself an easy patient I asked her to lower my dry weight at dialysis and she rudely said so I can up it again when you gain weight next week that is one of the many examples.
