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.

A TRUE and INCREDIBLE doctor.!! He saved my life. If he had not taken the time to properly examine and dig down to the root of my health issue, i would have died. I owe him everything AND I trust him with my life. Period.

I only signed up with this doctor because it says he is accepting new patients and I called to make an appointment and I have to wait 5-6 months! What the heck is that about? He should remove himself from accepting new patients from this site as well as my health insurance site, if he is this booked up! YIKES too stressful today for us trying to look for a decent doctor!

Dr. Gharib is among a handful of doctors that are true to their oath. Dr. Gharib enters the room and listens for as long as it is necessary and then he qualifies your comments by asking additional questions. Then he goes through educating you followed by diagnosis, prognosis, and finally the course to total elimination of the problem. You walk in with an issue and you walk out with a full understanding of your bodily function. He is amazing and I as well as my entire family look forward to seeing him whenever is needed. That said, his professionalism trickles down to the entire staff. Their view of patients is as of extended family and not of an ATM.

Absolutely recommend. He listens, takes time with you, and always replies back to questions or concerns. Since he is also geriatric and endocrinology specialist, he was able to figure out what diagnostic testing was needed to fix the parathyroid problem that I had for over 15 years. I love that he listens and will make sure that medication is okay. Since I have been seeing him, I feel so much better. He has always referred me to doctors outside his specialties that are very good and keeps in contact with them. Staff is friendly. I am so happy they stayed open during this crisis...and the office was safe.

I saw Dr G at one of my most difficult days of my life, seeing him for my 17 year old daughter, dragging her from another doctor's office, where she was told needing appendix surgery NOW. The doctor was a good listener, reassuring, calm and caring. After 2 hr of IV fluids, my daughter stomach was all better, and we left there without needing any surgeries. Now I call Dr G or see him for any medical concerns

I come from Orange county to see this doctor. I have been his patient for many years, and although i have moved away for past 5 years, i still rather call him or see him for any problem. He is honest, caring, with rational kind manners. I have tried 3 doctors in my new area and was not happy, still rather go to him.

Dishonest. Sends fake, inflated bills to insurance in order to collect more than is due for actual services. Should have been sanctioned and put out of practice long ago!!!!!!!!!!
