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.

Efficient
Dr Goshn is very thorough, he listens well and shows concern for his patients.

Doctor Issa is my favorite. He spends the appropriate amount of time with me and always has time to talk any issues I’m having. He has had a lot of turnover in his staff in the last two years and the level of service has declined.

Epitome of Professional and Thorough
Dr. Issa delves deep into your symptoms to discover whether there’s any underlying causes. He does a good job of monitoring multiple problems. He is quietly efficient, but he is willing to explain things if you ask questions. Once you’ve stabilized your problems you may only have to go back yearly. He’s not trying to make money off unnecessary visits. Sign of a good doctor is one that puts himself out of business by keeping his patients healthy.

Liked Doctor but staff was unhelpful
Dr. Issa was kind, knowledgeable and thorough. The experience with the staff was less than satisfactory. He referred me to an outpatient infusion center but the staff couldn't seem to make that happen. I called them several times and even had to call the infusion center myself who, in turn, called them to get the order. It took a full month to get the referral through to correct place. At one point the staff said they had faxed the order 'several times' but didn't get a confirmation. When I asked what they did to follow up they didn't have an answer. Through no fault of the Dr. I will be looking for another endocrinologist. It matters how people are treated by the staff.

Excellent care
Dr. Issa is very thorough and always asks how I am feeling. After having to have my thyroid removed, I am feeling better now and maintaining well. I truly appreciate how Dr. Issa explains everything very calmly and clearly to me. Dr. Issa is excellent and I feel confident under his care.

Bad experience
Took a family member here last week. Receptionist was rude and dismissive with a disgruntled look on her face. Dr. came in agitated and was also rude and dismissive to me for asking questions about relative’s condition and steps toward her future care. He had a snappy attitude with me as if I’m wasting his time by even being there.

Incompetent, Condescending
He is currently treating my sister. On first appointment, he didn't even review her medical records that showed she had an adrenal mass!! The office didn't follow up on the labs they ordered. One lab result was missing for 3 weeks! When she called the office to follow up, they told her to call the lab! Since when is it the patient's responsibility to follow up with the lab? He was pompous and condescending, spent only about 5 minutes with her, didn't listen or address her concerns. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to this doctor for help. We will be filing formal complaints against him and his office.

I feel that Dr. Issa genuinely cares about my well-being. I have been struggling with my weight for quite some time, and he not only holds me accountable but also wants me to bring my husband to my next visit to discuss my diet. He really makes me want to do better.
