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.

Incorrectly billed
Incorrectly billed. They refused to fix the issue and threatened to send me to collections. Poor healthcare advice. Was recommended to "try taking ibuprofen 3 times a day until that fixes the issue".

Takes her time explains things. The worst thing is trying to get an appointment with her. If you need to see her right away you'll have to wait a week. Her office staff are awful and very rude to deal with.

I have been going to Dr Youssef for many years. She is the best doctor I have ever had. She takes time to listen, never rushes you and is very thorough! I have recommended her to several people.
