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.

Most Valuable Physician
Dr. El Khoury has been treating me since my back surgery in 2015. I say he’s my M.V.P. because his treatments have improved my quality of life. His office staff is very friendly. His assistants and nurse practitioner are wonderful, too! He’s very popular with his patients as we all chat about how much better we feel after our treatments. Thank you, Dr. El Khoury, for all you do!

Professional Doctor
I have been going to this office for nearly 10 years. The receptionist are busy, but efficient and nice. The nurses are always nice, I greet them with a smile, and they smile and greet me back. Dr. Elkhoury is very professional. He does listen to me when I voice my concerns, and answers my questions. He has a nice smile, and is friendly, he cares about his patients. When I had bloodwork done, they saw something abnormal. Everything was explained to me and I was told to see my primary doctor. I was also given copies of my lab work. I have been there when some problem was going on with a disgruntled patient. I think the staff handled it professionally. The patient was yelling even to us in the waiting room, they finally left. Everyone was cool, and kept on working. The staff didn’t mistreat me or anyone else as far as I could tell. One thing I’d like to say is that Dr. Elkhoury looks out for his patients. He investigates new medical procedures to help us.

Dr Elkhoury has been treating me for more than 10 years and is always prompt, courteous and professional. His staff is efficient and organized. Most recently, they have begun conducting followup appointments by telephone (and presumably, virtual) appointments. This accommodates social distancing and saves me cycling the 10 miles just to "see if I'm doing well".

I was recommended by my insurance company to come here. I have a very serious condition with my neck. I have 4 bulged disc. When I first started coming I had pain on one side now I have it on both. My Doctor Dr. George El Khoury is one of the finest doctors I could be so graciously blessed to have. He knows and has heard, what kind of pain you could possibly have! Day in and day out. He does this every day and is a very busy man. I go there to have shots and they do not hurt. He has state of the art technology to make sure that everything he does is medically correct. He is a very humble, meek and soft-spoken Doctor. I do suggest when you go there just tell him your symptoms & leave the rest to him. He can’t heal everything pain in your body but you will go home feeling much better than how you arrived! The wait time for my appointment goes quickly. The nurses and staff from the reception to the doctors assistance are all friendly, professional & have great customer service! The Best!

I started seeing Dr. ElKoury for back pain and eventually had L4/L5 laminectomy with rod and screws. I started to see him again after my double mastectomy for nerve pain and blocks. He is the kindest man I have ever come across. He genuinely cares for you. His office staff has been kind. You may wait for awhile to see him (30-60 mins) but he is well worth the wait! He knows if you abuse medications and will not just write a prescription- so if you are looking for that do not waste your time. But if you want a caring partner in your treatment THIS IS THE DOCTOR.

I have been seeing Dr George El Khoury for approximately two and a half years now since I've had back surgery and suffer with a lot of pain. The office staff has always treated me With respect and they have always been patience with me as I am very needle shy. Dr. George El Khorny listens and takes what I have to say in consideration and then we discuss a treatment plan. Dr. George El Khorny practices good, sound medical techniques. Thanks to all of the fine nurses as well as Dr. George El Khorny for taking such good care of me. GOD BLESS

Doctor El Khoury. Is a fine person But his stuff. Is the worse, the worse ever. They disrespect you. They don't care about you. They think. They own the place. I don't recommend this place. The way these people treat patients in other words the ones that made their paycheck possible. If you are in pain and they treat you like crap. Please don't. Go to this medical facility.

Please stay as far away as possible from this doctor & his office. He has no respect for patients doesn't understand pain medication was made for people in pain. He doesn't care in improving a patients quality of life with medication therapy. Pain really can destroy every aspect of a persons life & mental health but he dorsn't care. Awful person & doctor.

Disappointed in California – Apr 01, 2017

I have chronic L5-S1 Damage in left leg after having a microdesectomy on L5 and received great care from Dr. El Khourey with epidural injections back in 2000-2003. He was caring and gentle. The epidurals gave me some relief. Unfortunately I could not see him anymore because of loss of insurance. I truly recommend Dr. El Khourey, he knows his profession very well.

I have consulted with 2 other pain management physicians in the area, both of whom were far inferior to Dr. El Khoury. They were both young physicians who were not interested in my spinal problems. I find that Dr. El Khoury's staff will work with me if I am having an acute problem. The office is clean. I have to agree that the wait time can sometimes be very long, but compared to the other physicians I saw, I have to admit that I prefer Dr. El Khoury and have returned back to him for my care

Horrific. I have never in my life been treated so badly by a medical office. I never even saw the doctor until 6 months after I had been going there!! When you try to explain anything on the phone they cut you off, interupt you, even laugh at you and put you on hold in the middle of talking. They send in my authorization 2 days before my apt knowing it takes up to 7 days then calls to cancel my apt the day before. This office is a joke and a nightmare

I have been a long time patient of Dr. El Khoury, longer then 10 years. The injections did not help me. I was being helped for severe neck/back pain with pain meds. Suddenly on my last visit, I was told that I was being referred to another Doctot not in their practice. I have NEVER abused my meds and took only the amount prescribed. The Dr. they were sending me to was a G.P. specialized in treatment with Suboxone (for Opiate withdrawals) I chose not to see this other Dr. and took myself off.
