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. Husain is excellent. He is warm, engaging, and talks to you about your problem. He is brilliant and is very helpful. He provides needed information, and his years of experience is evident. His front desk was sweet and helpful.

Extremely disappointing
My mother saw Dr. Hasain for a cath/stent. She was scheduled at RWJ Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ. She received a confirmation/instruction sheet. A few days prior to the day of the procedure she called several times to confirm necessary prep prior to the procedure and also left messages. No response. I took off the day from work and drove 70 miles to get her to the appointment at 530AM, as instructed. We arrived to discover admissions wasn’t even open until 6AM. And then found out they had neither scheduled the procedure nor obtained insurance authorization. It took hours to get rectified. An already stressful situation was made even moreso by the ineptitude of Dr. Husain and his personnel.

He was extremely rude and condescending. He has no sympathy if you don't follow every instruction perfectly even if you're trying your best. He will tell you there's no point in coming.
