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.

Just another day in the office
If you have a cancer that already has a playbook he can follow - you will probably be fine and have a good experience. BUT if you have a complicated cancer that needs special attention - you will not get it from Dr. Othman or the other primary oncologists at Southcoast - go to Boston.

So blessed to have found Dr Othman. He found a condition that no other doctors found or had even thought to check for that could of gone real bad. He is calming and very knowledgeable.

He was rushed and had no empathy towards a young woman diagnosed with cancer days earlier. Truly one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with a medical provider!

Seek care elsewhere. The billing practices of Dr. Othman's office put profit before patient. Lab work is always covered by my health insurance, but due to the way it was coded by Dr. Othman's office (as a "facility fee"), it was not. Both billing and his office told me that it "happens often" and was unchangeable.

Dr Othman is caring and sensitive and puts you at ease in what is a very scary and stressful time. He is open and honest but also upbeat. I would highly recommend him.
