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.

Love Dr Osmanzai
I have had to be referred to Dr Osmanzai 3 times. He is beyond brilliant. Truly wants the best for me and wants to see me well. You pay a lot of money for Doctors care, it’s important to find smart caring doctors. Dr Osmanzai is the one you want for infectious diseases

Condescending
First his nurse Barbara is rude and has no clue how to treat a patient who is nervous. Dr Osmanzai is not a Dr who really cares what his patients really need. All patients are not happy being in his office and realizing that, he could care less. I will not return. Don’t waste your time going there.

Worst dr ever
This doctor has no bedside manner whatsoever. He ended up calling me a drug addict because I get pain medication from a doctor because I have no hip. I have a major staff infection that requires IV antibiotics. he kicked me out of the office and refused to help me.

He's the best
I love him. He takes the time to listen and he makes sure that I understand everything. He is a really good doctor and I appreciate him. Dr Ozmonzai is the best, I trust him explicitly. He is such a caring and talented doctor, he knows his medicine that is for sure. He saved my life, I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. Love, love, love him.

Inconsiderate!! My daughter was seen twice by this office. The second visit consisted of a nurse coming in to look at her chart and say "yeah, you don't have Lyme". That was it! Less then 1 minute, but a missed college class, 40 minute drive and a $50 copay was all that cost! Completely inconsiderate. I called the office, only to be told "we don't give diagnosis over the phone". In today's world of telepresence and virtual Doctor's appointments, they couldn't see their way to be considerate, and simply tell my daughter over the phone that she didn't have Lyme. Absolutely ridiculous. They should refund my daughter's $50 at the very least. I would give less than 1 star if this system let me.

Worst doctor experience I've ever had. Receptionist is rude, not helpful, didn't tell me they don't accept United Healthcare, so I had to pay $250 for a video appointment that last 5 minutes with the arrogant, condescending doctor. Go to any other doctor you can find!

Was seen by this Doctor 6 days after being treated for a Stapf infection I contracted following a spinal fusion. He assigned an amazing coordinator of care for home health & Rx company but his office never followed up; not once. All was well until being informed He cancelled a very important pre-arranged appoint for a dressing change/blood draw (even after his staff told me it would be potentially FATAL if I missed it). Sending me to the ER on Christmas Eve to fend for myself. Shameful

Dr. Osmanzai is ok. Lisa, who does scheduling, is far from helpful. My husband is very ill and needed a CAT scan of his lungs. Six days later, we still hadn't heard from Grand Strand to schedule. I called Dr. Osmanzai's office about this twice, leaving a msg that we had not heard from scheduling. She never called me back. Today, I finally got her and she said it was 1st come basis at Grand Strand; finally, she said she would call them and she hung up on me. We will not see him again.

I couldn't believe how quick he responded and located the infection in my husband. He is willing to make sure insurance covers all medication needed and top notch on visiting every day. Thank you so much Dr. O for taking care of my husband and seeing him through this.

I don't like Dr Osmanzai at all. First of all he doesn't seem to listen to me or believe anything I tell him. He's very rude and interrupts you while you're trying to talk to him. I'm still seeing him but I'm going to get my records and go to another Infectionist Disease doctor. His wife is his nurse and she's nice sometimes and very rude to me a lot. So um looking forward to find a good and a doctor that will sit and listen to me and believe the things I tell him or her. Will update soon.
