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.

I already did this but I guess I have to have an account first which I now do. Dr. Aqel saved my life over ten years ago by diagnosing me with a heart problem. After open heart surgery, I am in excellent health. I would trust Dr. Aqel with my life because she saved it.

Dr. Aqel is the best doctor I have ever encountered. Her genuine interest in me as a human being, and her dedication to my healthcare for the last 15 years has been a literal lifesaver.

When I had my first appointment with her it seemed like we were on the same page. But after that initial appointment I am unable to speak with here and she was unable to help me with my existing problem. Also the front desk staff was some of the rudest people I have ever encountered. It seemed that there only concern was talking about there might lastnight and about there issues to one another. I would really consider firing everyone there and hiring people that want to work and are considerate
