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.

Dr. Maher is an amazing doctor .
Great Dr. Direct and to the point, Dr. Maher takes care of my whole family. 5 star from our family.Williams & Gidley family.

This doctor had the worst bedside manner in the world. She’s a horrible person and needs to rethink her profession immediately. On my first visit to this office she told me that the things I had been diagnosed with for years were incorrect because of my age there was no way there were that many things wrong with me. She never did a test never looked at me but Instead begin attacking me before kicking me out of her office. I have never cried from a first visit to the doctors, people like this should not be allowed to have their license.

Very unresponsive staff at the front desk. Attempted to get a new non-formulary prescription the doctor ordered filled for over 1 month. I called many times for follow up with the front desk dragging their feet trying to get the prescription filled. They did not call my insurance company for over a month for a pre-authorization. Never was able to get the prescription filled. Specialty pharmacy left messages at the doctor's office front desk with no return calls. Due to this, the specialty pharmacy rejected the prescription. I had several conversations with the doctor's front desk explaining that I needed the prescription filled that Dr. Maher ordered. They were very unhelpful and seemed unconcerned. Finally giving up and finding another doctor.

Would NOT recommend. At first was pleasant, but quickly turned. Left feeling berated by her, with unanswered questions multiple times, and felt like a number to get through. To be honest, I'm surprised to see the amount of five star reviews. First visit I ever had, two years ago now, went fine. She was nice, asked me questions, etc. I felt welcome. No problems. The second time I went back was like a totally different doctor. While I do believe she is an intelligent woman, I was cut off when a

I have a dispute with this doctor, who billed me for an unnecessary visit that they scheduled. That visit was for them to deliver my "free" annual check up report, which turn out to me not ready during that visit. Yet, they billed me $150. I tried calling their office multiple times, which they directed me to this billing manager who I can never reach. This person doesn't have a supervisor or coworker who I can talk to when she's out of office. The case is still not resolved as of now. Terrible.
