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.

Best decision I ever made was going to Dr Abeida.
Dr Abeida is extremely knowledgeable and caring. He found an entirely different approach to treatment for the cancer.He communicated with me and my current physician. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Very professional and caring.

Beware the appearance of formality at MSK.
Up until recently I was a patient of Dr. Wassim Abida for the treatment of prostate cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering or MSK in NYC. An initial exam showed that I was 'otherwise' completely healthy and had not used medications of any kind for over a dozen years. But Dr. Abida robbed me of a treatment option; poorly timed and badly constructed alibis demonstrate, unambiguously, that he clearly contemplated injuring me with an unrevealed hormone therapy and the deprivation of the means used in preventing or at least lessening the severity of the injuries that hormone drugs are known to cause. And the hospital's controls are shown to be dysfunctional, and the vehicle used in drug pushing and clandestine drug trials to the benefit of the pharmaceutical companies that pay the doctors and the hospital hundreds of millions of dollars a year. The focus at MSK is the viability and sustainability of the billion-dollar cancer drug arsenal. Don't be fooled by illegitimate GOOGLE reviews.

Clandestine Clinical Research
Telehealth
Until June of 2023, I was a patient of Doctor Wassim Abida at Memorial Sloan-Kettering. When a treatment of an unknown nature ended, serious illnesses rained down on me, and I discovered that the doctor had subjected me to clandestine clinical research which involved the deprivation of side effect mitigation; neither the drugs nor the side effects and their mitigation were ever revealed. And a number of alibis he planted in my medical records show clearly that he contemplated I would be injured. Worse yet, given the comfort that’s afforded to hospitals and doctors by the law in NY, MSK’s Operating Procedures allow and encourage the behavior; they do NOT lend themselves to audit and examination. Internal and external audits are based on what the doctors says. For example, I asked the doctor’s assistant, “show me that I was ever prescribed or recommended a regiment of Vitamin D”, and the response was, “we just know to tell you”. The same goes for all side effects or AE’s as they prefer.

Gave confusing, not consistent diagnoses and explanations, however, he manages to be arrogant and obnoxious. I would not trust my care or my family's care to this doctor.
