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.

Don't do it
He didn't listen to me at all and neither did his nurses. We came prepared with questions and examples, and never got a single one answered. He just talked in circles with his favorite phrase being 'It could be, but I don't know'. He only stayed in the room with us for 3 minutes or less, although I waited an hour in the waiting room. (We timed them) I was then advised he didn't think he could help me and referred me to different doctors.

He doesn't care to listen to patients concerns.
Dr. Tariq didn't take my illness seriously. I was having non epileptic seizures caused from Multiple Sclerosis and not from stress. At the time he only said that he knew there was something wrong with me but didn't know what to go now! The dismissed me like I was nothing a few years ago. I pray that this doesn't happen to someone else. Please fight for yourselves and don't let him do this to you!

Worst "doctor" ever!! My son went into cardiac arrest 3 days ago. Took 20 minutes to get his heart going again. Other doctor ran MRI & EEG. All the other doctors tell me his outlook is not promising. He walks in and says my son had a small stroke but will recover after rehab. HE NEVER LOOKED AT HIS CHART. Just glanced at the MRI. Didn't even notice he had coded. My son has been in a coma on a ventilator for 4 days now. If you are referred to him, RUN!!!

Ignored for years
Not wonderful, I have seen him for a few years now and I was pushed off on other doctors when he didn't want to test for the issues. Turns out I have a tumor that could have been found so many years ago if they only did an MRI. Also just likes to push new meds after meds even if you've already tried them with negative side effects. I get meds are important and an option, but at this point it's ridiculous to be prescribed the same one 4 different times. At one point my appointments with him were only 45 seconds long. I stopwatch counted. He also only talks to me seriously when my spouse is with me. If not I'm rushed through.

WISH I could leave negative stars
Worst experience, Dr acted like he never seen me before with each vist. My first visit he acted like he was sure I had m.s. or Parkinsons, and even spoke of D.B.S, . Next visit scheduled simple tests. Last visit said its anxiety, I've been dealing with this 5 years

Dr. Is incompetent
I took a family member there who was falling and had no control over his arms or legs. This dr ran bloodwork and one of his seizure medications he was toxic on. He never did anything about it nor did he tell me. I had to put my family member in a nursing home. I started looking through all of his notes and bloodwork from the hospital and found the problem myself. A primary care Dr lowered the dosage and he was getting back to normal the following day.

Rude and disrespectful
My husband went to him for his continuous migraines. We went to this doctor twice and both times were horrible. First visit we expected him to get a good history. Nothing. Just rushed through and prescribed something and left the room in less than 10 minutes. Second visit my husband took off work an hour early. He had an active migraine and had to put on his sunglasses because he was light and sound sensitive. The nurse checking us in noticed and turned the lights off because she was also very a migraine at the time. The doctor comes in and my husband was trying to explain a bad reaction to the medication that he had prescribed previously. The doctor interrupted him…told him to INCREASE the dosage of a different medication and then just left the room. We had less than 5 minutes with the doctor. No acknowledgment of the pain other than he thinks a nerve block is needed. Checked the doctor’s notes later and he stated he spoke to us about various things. NOT TRUE. AVOID THIS MAN!!

This has to be the MOST UNPROFESSIONAL and INATTENTIVE doctor I have EVER had to deal with. His staff is WORSE, they WILL NOT return calls. My wife was diagnosed with MS a month ago, still haven’t received the medication promised. I called my insurance company after a week to inquire as to why, said my Dr. filled out the pre-authorization incorrectly. I called the Dr. office, that TOOK THEM 2 days to call us back, and advised them of the issue. They told me that they would get right on it. That was almost a month ago. No contact from my Dr. NO UPDATE WHSTSOEVER!!!!. So I called insurance back and they informed me that the paperwork has NOT been re-submitted. So DON’T expect them to return your call, we have been WAITING for a return phone call for 2 days now. DON’T expect your medications to get approved. And DO NOT EVER expect to talk to anyone except the receptionist. Good Luck, if this isn’t resolved in the next few days I WILL FIND ANOTHER PROVIDER, this is not the only Neurologist

Concerned Husband – Sep 02, 2021

It took numerous phone calls to set up my appt, after having both the urgentcare and my primary send referrals. I had maybe 10 minutes with him in the room. He cut me off three times while I was trying to explain my symptoms, said he didn't know what I had, but it wasn't neuropathy ("it's for old people" apparently), like everyone I'd seen before said. They charged me nearly $500, then set up an emg for 5 weeks out. Called me 5 days before to say he's on call, can it be another 3 weeks? Suffice to say I'll never be back.

First I saw him for less than five minutes total. The visit there was spent more with the nurse staff ( who were all very helpful and nice ). So the few minutes I did see him he diagnosed me with fibromaylgia,which seems to be the universal term for " I have no idea what's wrong with you, but I need an answer ". He explained NOTHING about it to me. Luckily from prior I knew a few things about it. I disagree full heartily. I suffer from none of those symptoms. However he still prescribed me drugs

He is very empathetic towards her patients and takes a holistic approach towards patent care. No wonder all her patients love him.
