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.

Waited 50 minutes in an examination room before Dr Kahwash came in. He had to leave the room twice. Once to get examination tools that weren’t in the room and once to get trial medications. Didn’t feel like I was his priority.

My Allergist
The visit flowed smoothly. The nurse was very thorough. Dr. Kahwash conducted a comprehensive review of my current condition and the effectiveness of my medication. He explained the results of the examination and the next steps in my treatment. I am confident that I am in good hands.

FINALLY!!! I have answers!
My recent appointment with Dr. Kahwash was simply amazing! He was very attentive, slow to speak, and informative about the entire process. I left his office with the answers that I wasn’t “seeking” but knew I needed. Turns out I’m allergic to 9 different things when I thought was only allergic to one. Great bedside manner and personality as well! Highly recommend him to any perspective patients seeking an allergist.
