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.

Calming and Caring
No waiting, the doctor came right in as nurse left. Dr Daikh listened to me, there was some brief small talk between us and we agreed on the same treatment. We discussed that I had tried this treatment before with no result. But with different and more obvious symptoms now. I may see some benefit. He literally flew out the door and down the hall I felt that I maybe kept him too long.

Waited months to be interrupted repeatedly
Minimal physical exam. Would ask questions and before I could finish an answer would interrupt me. Despite three solid lab tests supporting diagnosis and four years of joint pain, combined with two other comorbidities commonly associated with my condition, told me it’s probably fibromyalgia and I should consider antidepressants, or that I was likely just unrested and needed more restful sleep. Had a condescending nature and tone, was short and failed to answer questions because he wouldn’t let me even finish my questions so he could comprehend what I was asking, was rude and lacked empathy and failed to provide and sort of a recommendation to help with my debilitating and limiting physical pain, saying “not sure what we can do for you.” A specialist!! This provider should not be practicing medicine. Worst $40 and ten minutes ever spent with a provider .

Waited months for this visit
Waited months for this visit, went in with the lowest expectations, and he met me at exactly that. He did less for me than any previous specialists that lead me to this referral. All he cared about was my bloodwork on paper, completely disregarding my very clear and very real chronic pains, illnesses and injury. Alongside that, failed to even provide any validation of these symptoms, or general guidance for treatment or potential avenues to explore next in trying to get a diagnosis.

If you care about your health, go elsewhere
Condescending and dismissive. He didn’t hear a word I said and wouldn’t have cared if he did. Was not worth the frustration, time or money.

Misdiagnosed me and put me on strong immunosupressants, despite all my labs being normal. Almost killed me.

I have recommended Dr. Daikh to many friends that are suffering with arthritis pain. I have never regretted the five hour trip to see him. A kind and gentle physician, Dr. Daikh has always taken time to explain all medications, side effects, and prognosis.

I would recommend Brian Daikh to all my friends, and family and people that I don't know; he is an excellent doctor, spends time with patients one does not feel like they are just a number I have been a patient at RA for many years, first with Dr. Anderson and it was at his suggestion that I meet with Dr. Daikh and I have never regretted the decision. Outstanding doc.
