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.

A knowledgeable and caring medical professional!

I’m starting my care under Dr Pahira for treatment of kidney stone issues, and I can't recommend him highly enough. During the appointment, I was impressed by how well he had researched by condition and past medical history, his professionalism, level of engagement, knowledge, and genuine concern for my well-being!Dr Pahira painstakingly explained my condition and my blood and urine workup results, and his recommended treatment plan for ridding me of this issue, ensuring that I was well-informed and comfortable with the plan. Dr Pahira’s MO involves a strong emphasis on diet and hydration vs. medication, which I like! The information he provided me was eye-opening and educational. His expertise and knowledge of urology is evident, and I felt confident entrusting my care to him.Dr Pahira has also since fielded numerous text-messaged questions from me, and has answered them promptly, and to my satisfaction. I’m eager to try out the Pahira Secret Formula for kidney stone 'riddance'!

I would give Dr. Pahira ZERO star. He referred me to see unethical surgeon named Dr. McGeagh he advised me to have surgery but he informed only pro but not risks. I have suffered alot of pain after surgery. Dr. Pahira never condemn his referred surgery and continue to charge me for the follow up. Every follow up visit, I was paying Dr. McGeagh's mistakes. Dr. Pahira is money making doctor who has conscience on his patient. He must be responsible for his referral doctor. Shame 2 Dr. Pahira

A bit of a cold fish. Does not seem to enjoy talking to patients--more like he endures it. I have BPH and did not have good results with the classic BPH medications. When he learned those meds weren't right for me, he didn't seem interested in pursuing the problem. Later I found out the FDA had approved Cialis for BPH, but Pahira never told me about it, even though it could have helped me. The whole experience of seeing him was a bit disappointing. He didn't provide much guidance or compassion.
