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.

rushed, demeaning, please stay away
dr. fatima could not stop calling me fat and telling me i will likely trip and fall and break a bone, or my organs will suffer damage from being crushed. she said "i bet you snore and have breathing issues" - yes i'm overweight but 1. i didn't ask to speak about this 2. she was cold and rude in her statements 3. this was for my first visit, a general physical where i did not complain about any issue, did not complain about my weight. oh she also missed an abnormality in my bloodwork that was there for TEN years, and she encouraged me to take antibiotics for as long as i want whenever i want. super dismissive with an attitude. i guess if you're looking for a harsh and neglectful approach, she's the one for you. the staff and MA were very nice!

Dr. Fatima is very professional. She took her time with me & explained everything thoroughly. She not in a rush like some doctors. I was very impressed after a visit that she telephoned to see how I was feeling.

y mother made an appointment for 1130. We ran 10 minutes late and called informing them and they said ok. When we got there they said that our appointment was 1120, which is was not and that Fatima refused to see my mother. They also informed us that there is no grace period; basically if you’re a minute late this doctor wouldn’t see you. Wouldn’t even try to accommodate my mother to be seen within a month. To this doctor, you are just a number, not a patient. I recommend finding care elsewhere

When you are sick or if it's an emergency, you will not able to get an appointment. I called when I developed a rash on my shoulder and couldn't get an appointment. I was told to go to the local Urgent Care, which I did as I had the rash for a week. It turned out to be an infection, and I was prescribed antibiotics by a doctor that I had just met for the first time with no knowledge of my medical history. A week later, I had a fever of over 100 degrees for nearly 24 hours while still on the an

Horrible doctor un compassionate would not see my sick Mother 78 years of age because we arrived 20 minutes late this was a new office and the parking for the building was a challenge there was no one else waiting to see Physician and we could of waited if there was. I took half a day off from work to go and my mother had a recent fall we were trying to find a compassionate PCP.
