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’ve been in and out of the Evergreen emergency lately. Bassim hooked me up. Found myself with shingles. We discussed it and a comfortable length. It’s handled. Thanks man

This doctor charges a tremendous fee at the ER and did not even examine my mother. He just stood far away. He spoke to her for maybe 4 minutes. What an absolute incompetent waste. He never came in to discuss anything after lab work was done. The nurse came in with the discharge papers Evergreen Hospital and the staff that evening were absolutely worthless. How can a doctor charge to speak to an ill patient and never examine them? Malpractice?

I would not even give 1 star if I didn’t have to. Worst bedside manner I’ve ever encountered while in an emergency room! He made me feel like I was just take up space and time in the ER. Did not even try to understand my medical condition which is rare, got up mid sentence and walked out. Heard him not only talking about me, but other patients outside my room in a very unprofessional rude manner. Was not even given any of my test results except 1 lab which he made out to be insignificant. I will be filing a formal complaint as my discharge papers did not even include the procedure done nor the results discussed with me.

Basically zero bedside manner. Doesn't seem to be empathetic, comes off as condescending. The nurses he worked with were wonderful but he left a lot to be desired

Dr. Dowidar processes false information for medical billing in order to extract exorbitant charges from patients in emergency rooms. He will claim the highest level of service done, when all he did was a simple and common evaluation. He also charges huge sums to patients for after hours, in the emergency room. I would never allow this kind of doctor to see me or a family member. Evergreen Hospital should not contract to employ this kind of physician.
