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.

One of the worst medical experiences I’ve ever had
I came to this office for a heart concern and internal medicine. I waited in an empty room for 1hr before being seen. The doctor listened to my heart for 2 seconds, reviewed my labs, pushed supplements HE sells, and prescribed things based on incorrect interpretation. He said he’d order labs I requested but some came back missing. Staff told me they had been ordered, but Quest confirmed they never were. Later, I was told the doctor won't order them. Both the doctor and staff lied—first saying the labs would be ordered, then saying there was a mistake when there wasn't. I asked for it to be noted in my chart that the dr refused my lab request. At that point, I was told he can't help me and to find another doctor. Once I began advocating for myself, it became clear this office doesn't respond well to informed or proactive patients. At best, this experience was disorganized. At worst, dishonest. Oh and they also left me a voicemail meant for another patient which is a HUGE privacy issue.

I’ve had the best experience here. Dr. Samaan and his staff are amazing. Dr. Samaan has taken care of me for the last few months, he’s always been very kind and informal. Made sure all my tests were done. I can genuinely say I felt taken care of by him, he isn’t like other doctors that don’t care about their patients. He listens. Thank you so much Dr and staff!

My experience with Dr. Samaan started with an incredibly fast and easy appointment on a Saturday! I was expecting to have to wait for days! The nurse and technician were great. He gave me a heart scan and was able to figure out what was wrong right then and gave me prescriptions, natural supplements and a diet regimen. He has kept in touch and followed up with me. Long story short, I'm almost completely healed, after only a couple months. I'm very happy I chose Dr. Samaan!

I've never had a more positive experience with any other physicians office. Dr. Samaan's staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, I've never had to wait longer than 5 minutes or so to be seen, and there I can always schedule an appointment with only a few days notice. Dr. Samaan himself is very attentive, he goes above and beyond the level of care most other physicians provide, he takes his time with me and really seems to listening to what I have to say to get to the root of any ailment

Dr. Samaan is my mother's primary physician, and we feel extremely thankful to know him. He is a very caring, intelligent and professional physician, and just a fabulous, trustworthy and unassuming person overall. He genuinely cares about his patients, listens to their concerns, puts them at ease, asks the right questions, and prescribes the best line of testing and treatment. Thank you for keeping your finger on the pulse in my mom's recent serious health scare. She is finally stable again!

Dr Samaan is not only a thorough professional but also a doctor that takes the time to listen each of my concerns. I was used to doctors rushing me through my visits with little concern in hearing my entire health story. Also he treated my family with respect when they asked him questions about my health. He is a genuine doctor who is very up to date on the latest types of medicines and goes out of his way to make sure treatment and medicines are actually working.

My association with Dr. Saman has been a great one. He has been very attentive to my needs andn he always tells you how it is and not what you always just want to hear. He has always been flexiable with his scheduling and has always been very avaliable. He is very proactive instead of reactive and and one point saved my life. He has even dropped off a prescription to my house when I forgot it. I would highly recommend. and thats saying alot

Dr Samaan is my Dad's current primary doctor and we're NEVER going to change it. He's the only one that listened to my dad's concerns about getting tired easily after walking and because of his attentiveness and the tests he ordered, we found out that my Dad URGENTLY needs an Open Heart Surgery. I strongly believe that my Dad is alive today because of him, I cannot stress enough how Attentive, Professional, and a Patient Advocate Dr Samaan is. I'm a Rehab Therapist and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.

Outstanding doctor with excellent bedside manners and a holistic approach to caring for my aunt. Dr. Samaan cares about his patients and his progressive methodology ensures he is treating the root causes of issues, not just symptoms. He is very easy to reach for questions or concerns, even when on vacation. I high,y recommend him.

I recently moved here from NJ, and I was concerned about finding a new doctor. I was thrilled to have found Dr. Samaan. He is warm and compassionate and very professional and thorough. He follows up with his patients by phone or email and you feel genuinely cared for. He is both my internist & cardiologist and I feel that I am in very capable hands. He takes time with each patient, and he is an excellent doctor. I feel so lucky to be under his care. His staff is terrific also.
