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.

I had a great experience with Dr. Ali. He and his team are very friendly and collaborative. Dr. Ali listened attentively to all my symptoms and concerns, explained very well what he was going to do, and asked me if I had any further questions or points that he needed to clarify. Thank you!

If I could leave 0 stars, I would. This is the MOST unprofessional doctors office I have ever visited. I went to the pharmacy to get a refill, they informed me that our insurance was no longer active, and the medicine would be $900. So I gave the office a call on Saturday, and after a very long wait on someone to speak to, I asked to speak to Dr. Ali, and still was directed to a different person who they said could help. I spoke to this doctor and informed him of our situation, and asked what he would advise us to do, or if there was a cheaper alternative that he would be able to prescribe, and he proceeded to tell me that he "wasn't gonna do anything about it". As i asked to speak to someone else, he started to speak in a very unprofessional, and disrespectful way, just right before he hung up on me. I called back to confirm my fathers appointment, and the nurse informed me that we were no longer patients of theirs, and that i should find somewhere else to go. THEY NEED TO DO BETTER!!

Was very polite and kind. Listen to my questions and explained everything very well. My blood pressure was very high and he was deeply concerned. He would not let me go home until my blood pressure was back to normal. It’s nice to know there are still doctors out there that truly care.
