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. Rafique is amazing, he takes care of me for almost a year now. I had an ugly episode of lung edema which I couldn’t breathe and thought I was going to die, I was taken by the paramedics to the Emergency Room and even though I was already been treated at the hospital, Dr. Rafique made sure to take time of his busy schedule and went to the Hospital to check on me. I only have good things to say about him, I had procedures done by him and also he found a very rare type of cancer which no other doctor was able to find. After his care and his team members, today I can say I feel confident and my health had improved tremendously. I’m so grateful for him!

I would not recommend Dr. Rafique. He did a Scath on me last week. It was very painful. After the procedure I had terrible pain and the pain continues in the groin and the adjacent area. He left a hole in the groin. I am taking strong pain killers and even with this I am hurting. I went to see a surgeon and he said if the pain persists he will have to operate to correct what was done to me.
