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.

Wonderful doctor

GREAT DR
Wonderful and extremely intelligent Doctor! She takes her time to be sure things are done correctly and safely. She teaches her residents SO well and I think very highly of her. She does run behind but remember it’s only cause she gets wrapped up in appointments with patients cause she really cares and gives you her ALL. I figured out when I was diagnosed that you always have to wait for the real good, smart and caring Doctors and some are odd! :) I HIGHLY recommend Dr Al-Khouri and think she is great!

Saw this provider since 2019 originally regarding migraines and back pain. Ordered multiple imaging that showed abnormalities in my brain and spine. The reports were read within 30 seconds during an appointment and brushed under the rug. Consistently was waiting over an hour for the doctor to arrive for appointments. Appointments were rushed and concerns were barely listened too and she even would answer phone calls and texts during appointments on multiple occasions. Don't even get me started on the lack of communication between her medical assistant Maggie. Constantly was having to follow up with no response. My last request regarding my short term disability paperwork was never addressed and I had to seek out another doctor. After 3 years I never received any diagnosis.

Seen this doctor for almost a year and all kinds of tests were ordered but still, no diagnosis. Her “help,” Maggie, is not so helpful. I have had many headaches with bad referrals and they can never get test results that THEY ordered…starting to think I have been a nice consistent meal ticket for this doctor cause nothing ever gets resolved and she keeps telling me to follow up. No mas! Moving on…

Dr. Al-Khoury has been treating me for migraines for a few years. She is amazing. She spends a long time listening to my opinions and is extremely thoughtful about what my treatment plans are. She genuinely cares about my health and who I am as a patient. She doesn't just push medication on me and send me on my way. I highly recommend her.

The doctor seems like she knows what she's talking about but that doesn't extend to the actual care. Wrong prescriptions were sent which is pretty dangerous. Then, incorrect labs were written requiring multiple trips and pokes. As I was in the middle of my physical therapy an occupational therapy, my insurance changed and the doctor dropped me. She refused to return my 5 messages asking for my test results or to allow me access to my medical records. Her schedule was terrible too. 1 day per week
