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.

Dr Mahmoud is amazing!
Dr. Mahmoud is everything you were raised to think a doctor should be. Knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, a whole body-mind approach, great listener, amazing researcher. She helps figure it all out, makes a plan and gets corrective actions lined up. I've had other wonderful doctors, but Dr Mahmoud rises above to help cure the problem, not just apply a 'bandaid' to the symptoms. She doesn't rush you, and makes you feel heard and validated.

Best Dr. I have had.
Finding the right doctor that you feel cares is extremely hard to find and I’m happy my family and I have found Dr. M. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and takes her time with us in every visit, helping us through every step of our health and wellness journey. We’ve moved 2 hours away from her office, but continue to make the effort to only come back to her and her always positive office and staff.

How a doctor & medical care SHOULD be… amazing!
I absolutely love Dr. Mahmoud! She is so knowledgeable and compassionate She easily diagnosed the real reason behind a terrible cough which I have gotten once or twice a year since college. I have been to many other doctors previously and it was never cured. After seeing Dr. Mahmoud a little over a year ago, I have not had this “death cough” since. She sees patients as a whole system and doesn’t just treat the symptoms which means she is concerned about your long term and overall health. She takes her time with you, you never feel rushed, and she doesn’t leave until you fully understand everything. I have already recommended her to 3 other people and they all feel the same about Dr. Mahmoud. She is funny and relatable and I never have a problem getting an appointment when I need one. I highly recommend you see her if you have any medical concerns.

Probably the most amazing doctor I have ever had
I was assigned Dr. Mahmoud at random by. my insurance, but the stars must have aligned because I was so moved by the level of care, interest and compassion she showed me in our initial and follow up appointments. I truly feel grateful, hopeful, about my care going forward. She is that perfect mix of super informed and educated, but also intuitive and able to create a plan of care that isn't just "standard operating procedure." I can't say enough about how great my experiences have been with both Dr. Mahmoud and her staff. Her staff has gone over and above to help me sort out some insurance procedures that were confusing to me. Thank you, Dr. Mahmoud and staff.

The worst doctor on the planet. This doctor prescribed pain medication for my elderly mother and she was an absolute zombie. She was near a coma. The doctor then totally dropped the ball for her care for the remainder of her hospital stay. The surgeon who handled her surgery was kind enough to make sure that she was taken off of this horrific medication, made sure she was tested for a possible infection, made sure she was treated for a blood clot in her leg and made sure that she was released from the hospital. The surgeon also had to give direction to the nurses during her hospital stay. Not sure what good this doctor did at all or what his/her function was. Our phone calls were left unreturned as well. We never even got to meet this doctor that was supposed to be over my mother's care in any way shape or form. We will be issuing a complaint to the Medical Board.

My husband and I both LOVE Dr. Mahmoud, she is very attentive to what your needs and concerns are and she really is on top of her game when it comes to finding out diagnosis. My husband and I have gone through MANY Doctors and Dr. Mahmoud is the only one to figure out what is actually wrong and is helping us get the appropriate care and back on track when it comes to our health.
