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.

An Amazing Doctor
Expert in his craft. He took care of me in my time of need. When no one could figure out what the issue was, he figured it out. He diagnosed what my medical issue was and he resolved it. Thank you Dr. Saad, you are truly a life saver. May God bless you

Dr. Saad saved my life. I figure that this is the best way to start this review, considering that the only reason that I'm sitting here writing it, is because of him. When I was brought into Northridge Hospital's trauma center, I was in bad shape. I guess you could say that I was in really bad shape, because my heart stopped, and I died on that operating table. Hospital policy states that medical personnel is supposed to work on an unresponsive patient for 6 minutes, and if nothing happens, they call it, and it's game over. Fortunately, for me, Dr. Saad isn't a clock watcher. Instead of giving up after 6 minutes, Dr. Saad spent over 15 minutes, manually squeezing my heart, keeping blood flowing to my brain, and I truly believe that if I was under the care of any other Doctor, I would not be here, writing this review. I will get to see my daughter graduate college and get married, because of what Dr. Saad did for me, and I will be forever grateful that he went the extra mile for me.
