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.

Old fashioned family doctor
Dr Abdi has been my doctor for almost 20 years. Always compassionate and willing to spend a little extra time going over in detail your health issues and making sure you understand. Also has a great support staff.

HORRIBLE HUMAN BEING
Dr. Abdi looked me in the eye and said he would be an advocate for me. He lied. After contacting the FAA and deferring my FAA Class 2 medical certificate request, he was allowed to wait 14 days before final submission so that I could get him my relevant information. That way, he could submit my lab work WITH his paperwork. That would have significantly shortened the amount of time I will be grounded while FAA medical staff sorts through my information. Instead, he made the final submission three days later KNOWING I was working to get him lab information ASAP. He has bent rules in the past to get pilots medically certified (I know, I was one of them) and got caught. Now, rather than doing what he was LEGALLY ALLOWED TO DO, he decided NOT to do what was in my best interest, making my journey to certification significantly harder. I will never return to his office and I urge anybody interested in a doctor who actually gives a....well, use your imagination....to run screaming!

Incompetent staff
Got a FAA First Class Medical with a EKG. Staff was incompetent from the start. First the girl got my file confused with someone else, then was convinced that I was on some medication that I was not on. Fast forward six months later I go to a FAA medical examiner in Florida and found out the doctors office never uploaded my EKG to the FAA.

Amazing Physician
Dr Abdi is Amazing! I have been going to him for almost 10 years. I was diagnosed with PCOS and he has me on a regimen that helps me control it. He is very attentive and listens to and addresses any of my medical concerns. He genuinely loves what he does and is dedicated to his patients. Dr Abdi is so friendly and kind and I look forward to my visits. An absolute Gem of a Person. Let me give kudos to the awesome staff as well. They are amazing!!

I saw Dr. Abdi last week and was again impressed at his ability to make a quick, accurate diagnosis. He is extremely busy but he saw me after a wait of less than 40 mins. In my experience, that is not unusual for a solo practitioner. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Dr. Zia and his staff is absolutely amazing. Dr. Zia is very "real" and does not sugar coat anything. When I first walked into the office, I didnt know what to expect, but from day one it has been a very warm and welcoming environment. The doctors assistants Ashley L. & Naomi are the best! They always remember my name whenever I go in and they also follow up with me after visits (which no other doctors office that Ive visited in the past has done). Also one of the great things about this office

I had my last appointment with Dr. Zia today. I will not be going to him again. I went to him (2) other times before this appointment trying to give him a chance since I was referred to him by the Veterans choice program. Bad choice. I tried to explain to him the signs and symptoms, and other problems I was having since my previous appointment. He kept interrupting me and wasn't "listening" at all. He doesn't care about the patient, very insensitive, and rude. His staff is alright though.
