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.

I had terrible pain in my feet from Neuropathy. Dr. Kafaji took care of my pain. He is a wonderful and caring Doctor.

Worked magic
I have been seeing neurologists for years who have not been able to help me, but Dr. Kafaji fixed my problem right away and has stopped me from wasting so much time and money. I had to leave a review as a thank you, I cannot be any more appreciative.

After months of working with Doctors at John Hopkins, I was finally referred to Dr. Kafaji. He quickly ordered tests and found a real issue with my neck that caused 7 months of incredible pain. I continue to be treated by him. He is thorough, professional, empathetic and listens to my concerns. His staff (especially Kim) are wonderful-they are very helpful and always follow up as they promise.

I am a Army Veteran and have used Dr. Kafaji. He is a very easy going friendly doctor who has always listen to my concerns and made me feel comfortable at his practice. He has worked with me on keeping my pain levels under control so that I could continue with my work. While giving me injections over the years in my joints not once have they hurt. My recommendation if your trying to find a good doctor to help you with pain then give this doctor a try I'm sure you will be glad you did.

He had no time to discuss. I had to raise my voice and had a fit to stop him from leaving the room after I had tried numerous times to discuss. I ended up transferring to somewhere else because I wasn't comfortable. After seeing other doctors he may have known what to do. If only he took his time and showed he cared it my have been different. I have a brain injury and couldn't even walk straight and he didn't care. Office people were inconvienced when figuring out the next date that works.

He is professional, yet listens to all the symptoms and asks many questions. He strives to find the source of you medical issues not just give you medication. He is the most thorough and caring doctor and takes time to explain and answer any questions. He is definitely a five star doctor.
