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.

I was in his office on 01/31/2024 with pain in my pelvis, he ordered a CT scan which was done e days after my visit. He received the results 2 days alter and during a period of 2 weeks, I left messages to review my results. He never called me back until 1 year later, yes after 2 year the secretary called me to see if I need any assitance reviewing my CT scan, yes, she called me on January 2025. He never called me to apologize of his non exitence service but in April of 2025, his billing department sent me a bill for his services done in january of 2024. Stay away, there is many excellent Doctors around, maybe is time for retirement.

We are so grateful for Dr. Arnaout. Our mother had a whipple surgery 12 years ago and still has no side-effects. He was willing to take her case when she was 80 years old, and she has accomplished so much in the last 12 years (and is still going strong). Whenever mom tells a doctor she had a whipple surgery, they are amazed at how well she's doing. Our family thanks Dr. Arnaout for giving mom these extra 12+ incredible years.

I couldn’t be more grateful of Dr. Arnaout. I was taken to the emergency room unbearable pain after 4 days of agony trying to medicate myself. He performed an emergency procedure after some testing done. Along with his team he performed a remarkable surgery and guided me all along. His care and kindness make me believe that heroes are real. Dr. Arnaout is one of my heroes and God blessings be always available for him ????I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Sixteen years ago Dr. Arnaout saved my life after I suffered severe acute gallstone pancreatitis with pseudocyst. He performed three surgeries over a two year period and miraculously I am still alive, active, healthy and happy to be able to share this amazing experience with you! I truly don't think anyone else could have given me my life back! Thank you so much Dr. Arnaout!

Dr. Arnaout was great with my older parent. Very personable, explained and answered all questions my father had. He eased my fathers worries regarding the procedure and it all went very well! Thanks Dr. Arnaout
