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 spent hours looking through my network doctors to try and find a provider that might be decent. Called the office and was directed to fill out new-patient forms online and that I would be contacted for an appointment. I never was. When I called, I was told that they do not make appointments and that they only offer same-day appointments "open scheduling" - I was told that I would have to call back at 8:30 am on another day to see if there are any same day appointments available. They told me repeatedly that they do not accept ANY advance appointments. Completely unacceptable and insane policies. In no universe is this an acceptable way of providing care. It. Does. Not. Work.

He made decisions that were not for our good and he was rude about it. Having a good and caring doctor that communicates with his patients is important to us. We will be leaving the Family Medicine because of him. he could have cost us my life.

Dr. Mahdi is amazing. In addition to his excellent bedside manner, he takes the time to thoroughly understand your situation and make appropriate recommendations/referrals. He has never made me feel rushed or like my concerns are petty. I truly appreciate this quality and I would recommend him to my family and closest friends!
