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 have been to many doctors. Never in my life have I been disrespected or talked to the way this so called doctor did. He is the rudest doctor ever and needs to learn how to PROPERLY speak to his patients. I would suggest going to another doctor because this one is the WORST.

Satisfied Patient for 12 years
Dr. Iqbal manages my Crohn's Disease. He is caring, compassionate, thorough, knowledgeable and experience. He explains symptoms, physical conditions, and explains possible treatment options. Excellent physician with a great office staff. I'm glad I was referred to his office.

Bowel & Stomach Issues
Dr. Iqbal went over my last visit which was back in 2019. Things look good so he feel that is is a flair up of my gallbladder side effects.

Dr. Iqbal - Gastroenterology
I really like Dr. Iqbal. I've been going to him years. For me, he is very informative and has a great bedside manner. His colonoscopies are easy to handle (except for the prep) and the team at the Summit Fairfield Surgery Center are very nice too. Thank you Dr. Iqbal.

Poor experience
Dr. Iqbal failed to perform the procedure scheduled for me and cancelled the second one last minute. Very unprofessional office and I question his ability to perform medical procedures successfully.

I've been seeing Dr. Iqbal regarding some discomfort that I've been having in my lower right abdomen. He has performed 2 of my colonoscopies. Dr. Iqbal is a wonderful Dr., and he is always willing to take the time to answer all my questions and address any concerns I may have.

What a caring genuinely concerned physician!! He took such excellent care of my husband! He's got a very complicated anatomy and Dr. Iqbal not only fit him in to a very tight schedule immediately, but treated him, and me, like rock stars!! He's the best!! Great outcome as well. What more can you ask for?
