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.

Consistent high creatin numbers. Dr. gave me sound advice.

Staff communication is POOR!
Visit was ok. Wait time was longer than it should have been. Provider shouldn't be on call when he has clinic days. However, I can understand. But the staff doesn't communicate the needs prior to visits, nor do they provide the requested information via email when they say they will.

Dr. AlShallah will have emergencies in the hospital at times that keeps him from being in his office on time for appointments, however, as trying as that is- if you are the on in stress in the hospital you would be glad he is there for you. You would expect him to be there for you!! You are critical or in distress, those waiting in his office are important to him, but he has to prioritize! Which would you choose if you were in his shoes???
