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. Abdullah has been wonderful. He is caring, sensitive to me needs, and he listens. He has been helping me chase down my symptoms, which are many, and continues to explore ways to help me. I really appreciate his drive to help me figure out what is going on and to help me.

Dr. Abdullah is the doctor that I have nor will I ever forget. HE discovered that i had intestinal malrotation after many years of suffering, pan and ER visits throughout my childhood that started from birth. By chance, Dr. Abdullah happened to walk past the room doctors and radiologists were in, looking at the imagery from a swallowing study test that I was having done due to the symptoms I was experiencing. He found that I had intestinal malrotation and soon had surgery. It was the beginning of my GI journey to know what I was dealing with. I cant thank him enough for being the doctor to finally know what I was going through and how to help me.

Not only did Dr find a disease that Seattle childrens, mayo, Mary bridge, and Cleveland missed, but he helped with treatment. Life changing! Thank you Doc for a job well done!

What I do appreciate about Dr Abdullah is that he took my symptoms seriously and ran many more tests than anyone else. I now have diagnoses and a treatment plan. Everything else about my care there is poor. I've submitted copies of my insurance card & ID at least 3 times. They consistently bill my insurance incorrectly because they misspell my name or write the numbers wrong. So I get these bills that I shouldn't get. I'm consistently on the phone with them or other providers that they contract with to get the billing correct. Dr Abdullah is NEVER on time to appts. When I leave messages it can sometimes take 2-3 times to get a call back. My recent struggle is my pharmacy has reached out 3x in the last 10 days to request a refill on a med. They haven't responded. They're saying they never received a fax although my pharmacy has the correct fax. They won't fill the med without attending an appt. That's fine; communicate the policy before I run out of meds! I'm done!

Dr. Abdullah is amazing. To start, i have know him for almost 12 years, he has taken care of my son for that long. He was always so caring for his needs and to calm a mother during our visits and procedures. about 4 years ago i started using him for my GI doctor. His care of a patient by far exceeds what most doctors will do. he made himself available to me for my son anytime of the day and then for me also. He never gives up and will work hard to figure what you need or what he can do for you. I will also say he has brought me back from near death situations twice. i kept in contact with him, as I am almost two hours away, when i had my latest condition. In a two week period i was at two different hospitals and they could not figure out what to do with me. With in 2 day of going under his care he figured out what was going on and on the third i was feeling better. He will work hard for you and your health. You can not ask for any better then him. Thank you again Dr

Dr Abdullah diagnosed my son with eosinophilic enteropathy when he was just a few months old. Back then it usually took several years before that specific illness was diagnosed, since not much was known about it at that time. Fast forward 17 yrs. Dr Abdullah has been with us throughout my son’s life. When medical treatment became available to free my son from ALL food restrictions, Dr Abdullah shared that cutting-edge information with us. My son is now able to eat ANYTHING, due to sublingual Immunological therapy treatment. I always refer people to Dr Abdullah if their child has digestive issues, because he really knows his stuff! Oh, he sincerely cares about his patients, too.

Dr. Abdullah was the only GI doctor who could figure out I had Crohn’s disease and I’ve been with him ever since. Diagnosed at 9 years old and now I’m 22. He’s an amazing doctor he really knows his stuff. It’s almost like he’s a second dad or uncle I trust him more than any other doctor. Highly recommend he really knows his stuff!

He does a great job attending to the patient. He sometimes runs a little behind, but that is due to the care he puts into each person. When there was issues with abdominal pain after a test, he personal answered the phone even when he wasn't at his office.

Dr. Abdullah is one of the most respectful and caring doctors we've had the pleasure of working with. Like another review mentioned, he does often run late, but that's because he actually takes the time to sit down and listen to concerns. I recommend him to everyone I know, and I trust him with my whole family's care. We saw multiple GIs who gave us no help or answers before finally finding Dr. Abdullah about 6 years ago. I really can't recommend him highly enough!

I have been battling a chronic disease for many years and have seen a number of doctors. He is so intelligent and knows so much about each drug and how they specifically work in the human body and when to use them. I have never had a doctor care so much. I think that he must spend every waking moment answering calls and treating his patients. He is one of the kindest men I've ever met. Humble too. He pulls advice from a team of other experts (naturopath, dietician, etc). Nurses are all amazing.

Dr Abdullah is a great doctor but he doesn't have any respect for anyone's time. He's well known at Mary bridge for arriving late so it shouldn't surprise me his office appointments are the same. I only don't recommend him unless your children are willing to camp out in his clinic. I once waited 3 hrs to be seen as the first appointment of the day. This most recent time I walked out 50 mins after my appointment start time because I can't not be allowed to have plans to cater to Dr. Abdullah

Dr. Abdullah is very kind and caring. I very much appreciate his holistic approach to healthcare. He works very hard to take a natural approach when possible and dig deeper when necessary. He includes other professionals such as a nutritionist which is extremely helpful. He doesn't just send you away with a pocket full of prescriptions. He uses prescriptions when necessary but not as a first resort. He really gets to the bottom of the issue and helps your child to be healthy! Excellent care!!
