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.

The best!!!
I do not know what I would do without her and her staff! They are an extension of our family. All three of my children are cared for and followed by this Dr. there is no better place! She cares for children whose parents were her patients! That statement within itself lets anyone know that she honors her oath, and is the most kind, and beautiful human being there is.

Dr. Elkassir is one of the best !! She cares about her patients. Professionalism and humanity - rare quality these days! Came to support my son when he performed at FHS Theater Academy couple weeks ago. We told her she is not allowed to retire:)

We have gone to Dr. Elkasir since I was a child (now 31), my nieces go to her, and I plan on bringing my own children. There is literally no better pediatric doctor in the area. She has done more to help and care for my family than I can even begin to list or thank her for. She is blessing to children everywhere.

Horrible doctor, literally the worst, and her staff? even worse. If you can switch to another doctor I highly advise that. If I could give her 0 stars I would.

She's been my doctor for years. Since I was a baby. I'm now 24. I know too old to be seen by a pediatrician but I dont care. She knows you and wants to know you. She cares like no other doctor ever will.

My daughter's are 17 & 21 and have been w Dr. Elkassir since they were born. Not once thru the years have I even second guessed any diagnosis, treatment or any of her advice. She has been a wonderful and caring doctor to all of us. We are not treated like patients rather treated like family and we adore her. I dread the days (which are approaching quickly) that we will need to find another Dr as the girls will be grown soon. Amina is the best in more ways then I can say. Thank you, Stacy Flynn

She was my family’s Pediatrician (6 kids) and we LOVE her! We are all now in our late 20’as and 30’s and wish she could still be our doctor. I can’t wait to have kids so she can be their doctor too. Recently, bumped into her at a restaurant with her staff and she remembered every single one of us! She Truly cares about her patients and is an extended member of our family. There are not enough words to describe how amazing she is. We love you Dr Amina!! - Bachkhaz family
