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.

Professional staff and doctor. Dr. Saad was outstanding and listened to my concerns and took initiative to find a resolution to my symptoms by referring me to get further exams.

Dr. Saad is the most knowledgeable, well-informed, caring physician that I have ever gone to ever. He is absolutely the best. And his staff is good, very good. They change it seems a lot, but they've always been helpful and courteous and friendly. Thank you very much. I am so appreciative, Dr. Saad. I can't tell you, he's changed my life. Thank you. Bye-bye.

New policy at Tustin is to tell the front desk your parking place number. It would be a good idea to send this with the text reminders for this location. Honestly, I was told there were signs all over in the parking lot. Yes there are, and the only part of that sign I read was "patient parking only" ... wlafter that, it is just blah blah blah and I didn't read it. I am a patient, I can park here. Done. Dr Saad is wonderful!

Dr. Saad is a rare breed of doctor. He values the patient's time by keeping to the appointment time as well as spending all the time needed for the appointment. He has a very nice personality that made me feel comfortable. I usually get really anxious going to medical appointments. He answered questions that no other doctor was able to answer. Other doctors looked at me like it was nuts! Now I have actual reasons for what I'm experiencing and a medication for one of the issues. He explained everything, using diagrams, and in a way I could understand. It was obvious that he took the time to read my chart prior to coming into the room. He showed concern for my chronic back/neck pain and my upcoming colonoscopy. He said he will work around that in a manner that doesn't aggravate the pain. His expertise would have been enough but how often does one get that along with compassion and a bit of humor? I'm just sorry that I didn't find him many years ago.

I do not recommend Dr. Carlos to any patient of my family or friends or anyone. He was not capable to diagnose nor explain to me some questions I have .?even blood test results he order for lipid panel he order it differently and showed liver enzymes in different results than I had back on August 23 and one of them was high in 2 difrrent dates even when I got from my chart and showed it to him he said if u don't trust in our test results got do it outside and even said you can seek another opinion . Initially I requested to see GI doctor for stomach pain which he never help in diagnosis for . Also he requested a lot of blood test and exams cost me over $1600 with no benefit really to much he asked for so I had a feeling that he is doesn't know how to diagnose also was not paitient to listen to me . I am really disappointed that UCI with great reputation have this doctor. Very disappointed ?
