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.

Extremely rude & unprofessional!!
I took my mom to see this doctor and I 100% regret it. My mother had several strokes and her left side of her body is paralyzed due to the strokes. At one point he tried to lift my moms left arm because he didn’t believe that she was paralyzed even after I had just told him her left shoulder was dislocated and hurt her in the process. He insinuated that my mom was faking it or possibly just stressed out. He was extremely dismissive and wouldn’t even let my mom explain her symptoms. I would give Dr.Labib a zero rating if I could. Do not go to this doctor!

WORSE BEDSIDE MANNER AND RUDE
I’ve had 2 MRI’s that showed multiple small tumors all over my brain he completely dismissed, he gave me a brain scan tells me he sees nothing, when questioned, he then tells yeah there was something and needs more testing, he was very curt with me, he told me to be quiet when I explained my signs and symptoms, especially when I explained my trauma with attempted murder he literally asked my how could I allow someone to hurt me that way, my mother was with me to hear how mean he treated me, and how he completely dismissed the MRI’s and my concerns, telling me “no,no,no? That’s not right! “ I’ve worked alongside doctors for over 10 years in hospital and clinical setting, I’m in nursing school, he’s uncouth, curt, neglectful, and I’ve never felt so hurt and upset, I’m scared and worried I’ve kids, and all he did was give me attitude, ignore all my concerns and my exams

Wanted to walk out
I saw Dr. Labib for the first time this afternoon. Never in my life have I felt so uncomfortable with a doctor. I suffer from seizures and was being seen for treatment. His exact words were my seizures are “fishy” and “suspicious” and would refill my Keppra (anti seizure medicine previously prescribed to me) “if it makes you feel better”. I was shaking and almost in tears after my visit I was so angry. He rolled his eyes every time I spoke! I was answering his questions and he would cut me off, roll eyes, sigh, and repeat the question before I could answer fully. I would NEVER go to this man again. It made me not even want to seek treatment! -5 starts

Rudest most unprofessional physician I have ever s
My daughter went in today to see him about the seizures that she's been having....... the words he used were fishy, suspicious, and when she asked about getting a prescription refilled that was given to her by the emergency room he said after an eye roll "if it makes you feel better I guess" he kept rolling his eyes and interrupting her wouldn't let her speak why is he even seeing patients?

if I could give this Dr. a .5 star I would. Do not accept a referral to see Him as He is Rude and treated me with so much disrespect. He raised his voice very rudely to me on several occasions and also treated me as though I was lying to him with respect to my condition and the problems that I am experiencing. Again if you have an appointment to see this Dr. cancel it and have your Primary care physician re-schedule you with a different Doctor.

I have never been treated so inhumanely by a medical practitioner. He literally laughed at me multiple times when I was describing my symptoms, interrupted me repeatedly, and failed to ask any questions in an attempt to make a diagnosis. He is not up to date on medical research and assumes all symptoms - particularly if you are a young woman - to be anxiety. Ask for a second opinion or avoid altogether if you can.

I have MS and only see Dr. Labib because I am in remission and only need a neurologist to refill my prescription. If I have a flare up I will immediately change doctors. At my visits, every 6 months, I experience rude, dismissive staff and a doctor who does not even do the basic hands-on neurological checks that my other neurologists have always done (strength/gait evaluations etc.). The office didn't even notify me when my last MRI came back showing activity! Do not choose this neurologist.

He was rude. He did not listen to what I had to say. He was very dismissive. I will NEVER go to this doctor again. I normally see Dr. Pineda in the same practice and have never had a negative experience with him. I have filed a complaint with my insurance provider. The office manager was supposed to call me right away and has not done so.

Dear God if I could report this terrible doc to the news and get him fired I would. I tested positive for West Nile Virus last week, but the symptoms have been problematic for the last 6 months, prompting my PC doc to refer me to a neurologist because it's possible it has caused meningitis. This Doc literally laughed at me and insinuated that I had anxiety. He told me meningitis of the brain cures itself. He was so unprofessional, lacked a whole lot of tact. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Go elsewhere

TERRIBLE neurologist. Traveled 2hr away from residence to see him. He was not listening to my symptoms when I was explaining to him how I have been feeling for months. He wrote on his note pad, while I was talking, and said "what do you want me to do about it, well I GUESS I can refer you to get an MRI and an EEG"? I was so irritated with his lack of empathy. He basically made me feel stupid. He is a terrible "specialist". I will NOT be returning. Rude, and unprofessional.

Gone to him once and I'm going to be changing neurologist. He was EXTREMELY rude and was constantly stating that he didn't have time. We waited over an hour past the scheduled appointment time and we were early! I understand that things can be hectic but you don't have to treat me and my mother like we don't matter.
