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.

It is always a delight for my visits as the staff are just great, from the warm greeting at the front desk through the various staff members that I encounter. They are all personable and friendly and make for a pleasant visit. You are so much better than the various medical offices that I visit for treatment and show a sincere interest in my treatment. It is also an efficient, on-time run organization.

I will never forget how good it felt to have Dr. Ahmed listen to me sincerely when I first came to the office. My pain had been constant and debilitating for two years with medical treatment. He understood my symptoms and it has meant everything in terms of his treatment approach - I am much better thank God.
