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.

First, I want to thank Jamie (nurse), Nicole (anesthesiologist) and Laura (front office), for their kindness and professionalism. They were great. Dr Nassoura, wasn't. He didn't even bother to greet me when he came in to do the procedure. He told me not to move, which was fine. I was under a light anesthesia, so I was conscious. He asked me a question, I answered. I thought he asked me another question, and I said what. He snarled "don't talk". He seemed rushed and during the procedure was snapping and criticizing the surgical staff. The most unprofessional Doctor I've ever had, and I'm 77, so that's saying something. Just awful.

Staff is excellent, Dr. is knowledgeable and gives clear explanations! He takes time with patients so you may have to wait a little extra but worth the wait

Wasted time
I waited for my appointment with Dr. Zahi Nassoura over a month. During visit he spent with me about 2 min., ordered an ultrasound test. After the test I saw him for another few minutes. He said that everything is fine and left. When later I asked for a printed report I read that I had severe reflux in both legs. I asked a receptionist for consultation and she said I need a new opponent for this. Only after I complained to my I insurance someone, not dr. Nassoura, called with some explanation which was not satisfactory. Dr. Nassoura is not professional or responsible person, in my opinion. He doesn't deserve even a one star. Had very negative experience. Currently looking for a new doctor to resolve the same problem.

The worst
Absolutely the worst bedside manner. Only interested in racking up fees for office visits. Didn’t want to answer any of my questions which were about the cause of my symptoms and the road map for treatment. He was argumentative and I had to walk out of the visit. First time I ever had an interaction like this with any doctor. I was shocked how bad this simple office visit / consultation was.

Perfect experience
I came to Dr. Nassours's office for a procedure. Everyone in the clinic was courteous, attentive and caring. Begining with the staff at the front office where the wait was literally one minute and than the nurses, technicians and the doctors. Dr. Nassoura went out of his way to asure I was getting the treatment I need, both by him and the hospital. I strongly recommend Dr. Nassoura, he's a rare breed.

Not good at all, after sending records ahead of time, asking for information regarding multiple compressions from head to toe with particular focus on kidneys, my family drove for 2.5 hours away with traffic so way longer, (due to a office patient emergency he was 2 hours late, which is ok). He read reports and looked at scan pictures in front of us, which I had to send to get approved for his appointment. He then proceeded to shout at us and would not ultrasound kidneys, our hope of why we went and had email previously before being allowed to book. He is not up to date on rare vascular conditions, if you are not a cookie cutter vascular condition case--save your time and money. He read in front of us and shouted at us when I asked questions.
