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.

Commendable medical practice.
This was my first consultation with Dr. Mekkawy related to a chronic issue. My appointment was as scheduled, and it did not go unnoticed that the waiting area and examination areas were nice and clean. After answering questions about my condition and sharing some medical history, Dr. Mekkawy was able to provide relevant insight and viable options for my recovery. More importantly, it appears that he listens to his patients and gives clear responses. It was also great to interact with Ms. Cindy and other office staff who made my visit feel welcoming.

I would give him a zero but it wouldn’t let me. My father went to him with lumps all over his body and “pneumonia” for 2 months. My father couldn’t bathe or urinate by himself. Someone had to walk him. This quack wrote him out a script for a ct scan and sent him on his way. And to return January 12. I didn’t know any of this until after the fact. Anyway, my father was rushed to the ER 5 days later but the doctor was on vacation. My father died of stage 4 lung cancer 10 days later on January 9th. My father was 62 years old.

Dr mekkawy is a good doctor however the office manager Cindy is a rude person looks at u with a smirk on her face indicating she believes you are lying. When I told her they would be loosing 2 patients the look on her face was big deal. The sad part is that Dr Mekkawy will probably never know why we are no longer patients. Cannot deal with that type of attitude

He's very personable, explains things in layman's terms so that you can understand what he's explaining to you. He's just an all around good Dr.
