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.

Incredible & Caring Chronic Pain Doctor
I’m not sure where the negative reviews come from but I was extremely nervous when my chronic pain doctor changed places and I had to see Dr. Hussain for my next appointment as a new doctor doesn’t know you as well. I was completely shocked with how well he understood the exact pain you were in, and could even tell the severity of pain you were in before mentioning it to him. He was extremely attentive, thorough, caring, considerate and more. He was the first doctor I’ve come across in 6 years of severe chronic pain due to disability that truly wanted to help me with all aspects of the pain and understand it. In the end, it was a blessing in disguise to have him as my new doctor. He seems to have a great ability to perceive those truly in pain as well as understand what needs to be done to alleviate pain enough to achieve a better quality of life. I have never written a review on a doctor in my life but I highly recommend him. He’s very effective with the limited time provided to him.

He does not concern himself with long term pain patients. Forgets and ignores, much to busy and doesn't refill often forgot he had changed refilling a perception, when refilling to the pharmacy. I don't recommend Dr. Hussain!

Misogynistic and arrogant. He doesn't like chiropractors and he overprescribes medication. He does not understand that the PCP is the hub for all requests and consistently pushes his responsibility to other physicians. After telling him that I wanted to go to another practice, he erupted in anger.

Dr Syed Hussain is an extraordinary Doctor. After years of unbearable pain; being unable to walk straight; and having had several surgeries by other surgeons; Dr Hussain recently performed a back surgery that made it possible for me to walk straight again and what is most amazing,without any pain. Thank you Dr Hussain

Excellent doctor and helpful staff. He had me switch to better medication for my high blood pressure, and because of his diet suggestions, I (36 year old male) went from 205 to 175lbs!
