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.

He has a plan
We just left our appointment and it was refreshing to hear a doctor take time to explain in great detail his plan for my son. we have multiple options based on different scenarios, but I left feeling as though he was able to understand the situation and give us a reassuring sense we would be taken care of.

Please find another doctor
I had a very difficult experience with Dr. Abulaban. I saw him when I was a pediatric patient as a referral. He completely dismissed my ongoing symptoms and referred me to a neurologist because "It's definitely not a rheumatologic issue, so it must be a neurological issue." It was in fact not a neurological issue, and the next rheumatologist I saw said it was textbook rheumatologic aliment. Please do not see this doctor.

Dr. Abulaban never feels rushed. He is attentive and informative in language I as well as my child can understand. I trust him more than any other when it comes to my child's health.

He was very rude lacked empathy and compassion he did not want to listen to the concerns that I had had about my daughter in her condition I attempted to give him our family history and the fact that he stated he says 80% of their kids he sees to see a psychiatrist because he believes they all have pain disorders is a palling to me sounds like to me he's just trying to send kids to therapist always stating mental health issues how to take my daughter to a different provider for them to actually give her the proper diagnosis of an actual real auto immune disorder

Khalid is very easy to talk to, he always remembers past visits and conversations we've had in the past. He is an incredible Doctor, and always has my child's interest at hand. He very good at asking how she is doing in school, in social activities, and with other children her age and if there has been any medical conditions that may have changed. An amazing Doctor!!!
