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.

Would leave a zero star review if I could
The worst experience I have ever had with a heath care provider. Doesn't explain anything, didn't share information, didn't even bother to speak to me, it was more like at me and only if I asked a question.

Clogged ear canal
The absolutely worst experience I have ever had with a healthcare provider. No explanation of what he found, what he was doing, how he was addressing the problem or how he expected it to be resolved. Along with the most painful treatment I have ever endured. He showed complete and total indifference to the pain he was inflicting. Didn't even acknowledge the situation. I got the distinct impression that I was intruding on his time, and he wanted to be somewhere else. Don't think he spoke more than 25 words to me and was the most painful 10 minutes I have ever spent with a doctor.

Dismissive of concerns and condescending
I have never been treated in such condescending and rude manner by a provider. Dr. Abbas walked in the room, no greeting nor did he acknowledge my daughter and I. After sharing my daughter's concern around her sore tonsils, he dismissed everything and rattles down how I need to have documentation etc. I insisted for him to at least check her tonsils and continued to ask questions. He seemed very annoyed and rude. He told me I should have done my research, which left me baffled and said he will not make a guess based on the concerns I have shared. I have kindly explained that as a doctor, I do not expect him to make any guesses but rather help me understand. I am in such disbelief of how doctors like Dr. Abbas can get away with this type of unprofessional behavior. After reading the reviews on him, it confirmed everything I had experienced. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this doctor.

This was my first time seeing Dr. Abbas. He was very attentive and listened to my concerns. I don’t know why he received bad ratings from a lot of people. I was almost afraid to see him after such bad reviews. I was very pleased with my visit.

Worst experience with any doctor
Seeing Dr. Abbas for the first (and last) time was the worst experience I've had with any doctor in my nearly 40 years of life. The appointment began with the door flying open and him charging in, not the typical knock and "Hi, I'm Doctor so-and-so, nice to meet you." Red flag from the start. It only went downward from there. In short: a combative personality and cold, unaffected bedside manner. I regret seeing this doctor.

At first, Dr. Abbas was basically professionally friendly. Then, my final visit with him was apparently during a bad time for him. He was abrupt, even sarcastic, when he asked me why I getting allergy shots. I had said the shots helped me to be symptom free, but I didn't complain about the shots, but that they were prescribed by his fellow medical professional. The doctor nor the clinic were NOT what I would recommend to anyone.

I needed a doctor that would really listen to me. I am having a throat issue that is impacting my ability to work and sing. However Dr. Abbas did not really listen to me at all. I felt rushed and talked down to. I came to see Dr. Abbas with high hopes that with his expertise we could find out what the issue is. I am very dissatisfied with the very low level of customer service. Dr. Abbas get your passion back and learn to have empathy for all of your clients. I believe that you can still change

The rudest physician I have ever seen. The first visit he talked down to me, and treated me like I was stupid. I gave him a second and third try (Thought maybe he wasn't having a good day the first time, although still no excuse). He was just as rude the second visit and third. I have tried to switch doctors, but keep getting told their office don't do that. Whom ever you start out with is the doctor you must stay with. I wouldn't recommend my worse enemy to see Dr. Abbas!!

Worst Doctor I have ever been to. Horrible bedside manner, didn't know my records, didn't care about them, told me my throat was not inflamed (even though my primary said it was, and it feels as though it is on fire), told me I was taking my reflux medicine incorrectly even though my gastroenterologist recommended me to take them that way and I have for 10+ years. Did not look into my ears, even though I mentioned fluid in my ear which was seen 3 days prior. Do not waste your time or money.
