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 saw Dr. Ansari as I was knew of (an abnormal lab test result). I reported this at my first visit. Dr. Ansari then ordered some lab tests. A couple of weeks later, his employee called to say, “you have (an abnormal lab test result)” - that which I had reported at my first visit! “Come bank in a month”, I was told. I don’t appreciate Dr. Ansari’s relegating the task of sharing test results to a non-medical member of his staff. What if I’d had questions? I cannot return to this medical office, because I need answers.

Terrible experience
Terrible experience. I felt dismissed and felt like he just wanted to throw medication at me without doing the work up to make an actual diagnosis which was the whole reason I went there. Lots of red flags, I do not recommend

I have been a patient for about 5 years. In the beginning, he appeared to genuinely care. At my last two annual visits (2020 and 2021), he was detached and gloomy. I'm sorry to say that I will be looking for a new arthritis doctor. I do wonder how Covid may have affected him.

The doctor was checked out and disengaged. He actually has his staff call patients with test results (so, of courses, one cannot ask medical questions). The staff is veru nice, especially Tami.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ansari for about 20 years and have found him to be highly knowledgeable about RA and its complications, very compassionate and extremely easy to talk to. His appointments run on time which is a great help for those with a busy life. Perhaps most importantly, he has kept this awful disease in check, enabling me to have a happy, active lifestyle. Thank you, Dr. Ansari!

saw anasari for prior diagnosis of: Generalized R.S.D. anasari stated "i am not going to write you a prescription for morphine" (i had not asked him to write any prescription). he stated, "i have been doing this for 30 plus years, and i had never heard of that medical condition". upon giving the name of the M.D. that diagnosed my conditions, he did an "about face" from the stance of "never heard of this diagnosis. it showed me that he is not "Caring & Passionate" doctor- which is is needed!
