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.

EXCUSE ME!
After waiting almost 45 minutes for her (I was the first appointment of the day) she walked in an insulted me. Apparently my records haven't arrived so she said that she couldn't do anything for me without them. She did order a test STAT but request went out late and same with prescription. I waited 6 hours to pickup a prescription ( I don't live here). I will not be returning..

Stay away
Dr. Begum talks through her patients and demonstrates a complete lack of empathy. During multiple visits she has talked over, through, and around health concerns. She missed a large tumor during a recent visit, despite palpitating my father’s abdomen. If you’re looking for a Doctor who cares about their patients, RUN to a different doctor!

Beginning not to trust her judgment. Says she is ordering test or scans and doesn’t. Trouble getting RX’s refilled.

I previously gave this doctor a negative review and I'd like to change that. The problem was that I didn't see her in the right light. Now I see she is very conscientious and cautious in putting all the pieces of the puzzle together before she decides on treatment. Yeah she's a little different but that's okay we all are. In fact I'm looking forward to seeing her again. So don't be like me and make a rash judgment. Give her some time.

She was very rude, impossible to understand and angry when asked to repeat herself. She neglected to fill diabetic medicine and neglected to order a brain scan for my tumor and the office manager just screamed at us and threatened to sue us for stopping “care” at this office. She needs to list her license. Literally YEARS of horrible reviews!

I like Dr Begum very much she spends time with you. Answers your questions. Her staff on the other hand thinks you have nothing to do. Oh that girl did not come in today you will have to fast again and come back tomorrow.This is the third time also the last.

Wrote a script I've been on for 15 years at 1/3 my normal dose and only 15 day supply. Told me she would not give me the medication at the dose I have always taken. Treated me like a crimInal for being on clonazepam, which I take for PTSD, by making me submit to a drug test and demanding I come in and pay every month or sooner. Only went to this doctor because my other doctor retired. I am very disturbed by the way I was treated there.

I like Dr Begum because she takes care of her patients in details. she is very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She spends extra time to talk to her patients. Her office is small but the people are very friendly.
