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.

Most definitely!
Exceptional. Takes his time with you. Doesn't act like you're just another #. Asks and answers questions. Follows up and evens calls you after hours with more information and suggestions. Highly recommend Dr Atef.

A fine physician, good person.
Before choosing Dr. Atef, I searched for a Cardiologist whose writeup rang true to me, whose specialties were appropriate. It was a rather long search and although I've only had one appointment, I was not disappointed. Doc Atef seems just right--easy going and thorough at the same time. The office staff clearly likes working there. It's a rather long drive but worth it.

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Atef. He is so caring and pays attention to details. His bed manner and diagnosis is unmatched. Under his care; my life has become normal again, after suffering enormously with the unadvised medication I was prescribed by another doctor. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Atef. Absolutely.

Just like every time I see Dr. Atef he is very cordial. He always make me feel that I am very important to him. He is very informative and interested on how I feel and that I am comfortable with what he has to say. He always makes sure I understand what he has to say to me. If he thinks I do not understand what he is telling me he makes sure I do even if he has to find a different way to explain. I always look forward to seeing him when I have an appointment. I always recommend him when anyone asked about my doctors.

when many other physicians were unwilling to listen and treat my malignant hypertension, Dr. Atef assessed and treated me. This ultimately lead to a successful resolution of my illness. compassionate, calm and professional. i do not even have enough superlatives to describe him accurately.
