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.

Dr. Humdani, is superb! She listens to both parent and child. Her calm, gentle, loving ability to comfort a child is truly a gift that many physicians lack. All four of our sons were cared for by Dr. Humdani and now we are truly blessed to have her attending to and caring for our children. Any child that is seen by her is truly blessed.

She is thorough, intelligent, trustworthy dr. But it's obvious she has no clue who we are. At 12m appt, she reviewed what a wonderful 1st year we'd had, but we'd only been with her for last 5 mths & nothing she said made sense. She got my daughter's age wrong at 18m visit. Advice nurse can't keep daughter's age or gender straight for a 5 min call. Nurse at vax appt was rude and condescending. They cancel appointments made months in advance. It's impossible to see Dr H for last minute appts.

She accused me of not feeding my child. My daughters father, whom she met, is 6'0 and weighs 125 lbs. The entire side of his family is extremely thin like he is. He attended many of the check ups and still she continued to tell me to feed my daughter fatty foods and add extra butter in each meal. Later, I found out from another nurse that she put in the chart that my daughter was malnourished. She never mentioned this belief to me. I would not recommend her.
