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. Al-Rifai
We were absolutely amazed by his profound knowledge and expertise. His ability to delve into intricate details and outline the steps we could take to enhance our son's well-being was truly remarkable. Moreover, he exhibited extraordinary patience and attentiveness throughout our discussion, genuinely listening to our account of our son's comprehensive medical history. Without a doubt, we are exceedingly satisfied with the exceptional level of care he has offered us thus far.

He is Phenomenal! Dr. Al-Rifai is the best neurologist in DFW. I may be a bit biased because he chose to continue to see my son as a patient into his adult years. However, I don't know many doctors who would do that for a special needs individual. Consistency is critical to someone on the spectrum and I am so glad to have a receptive, caring, and dedicated medical professional, like Dr. Al-Rifai in our corner. I pray he never retires as I do not know what my son would do without his level of expertise and support!

Sheila Stahl in Sherman, TX – Nov 02, 2018

After wasting 3 years of my life this doctor tells me that there is nothing that can be done about my seizures. So I finally find a new doctor who actually knew how to treat my epilepsy and we ended up doing a brain surgery. I have been seizure free ever since the surgery and if I was still with this doctor, who knows I would still have epilepsy.

We drive an hour to see this Dr. He is very knowledgeable, thorough and attentive. I like that he doesn't want to overmedicate. He tries to find the best care w/ the least amount of med that the body needs. Great listener and good at answering your questions. I have never felt rushed.
