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.

Stay Away, Worst Doctor Ever Experienced
Absolute worst doctor I have ever dealt with. Her attitude would have you think that she knows it all, but the reality is that she brushes off patients and their knowledge even when they are right. Trust me, you don't want a doctor with an ego like hers working for you. In the words of our recent president, I think anyone serious about their health should say Dr. Farooq, You're Fired. Also, if you or your staff read this, please remove me from your mailing list. I don't know why you think I would ever want to be a returning patient after what happened.

I saw her for med refills, so there was no examination, only bp check, by her nurse. Only got 3 month fill on maintenance meds and I called today for a refill and was told that I have to see her for a refill, every 3 months. Nope, shes a waste of time and money!!

This was horrible. I waited over an hour to be seen as a new patient. I never saw the Dr because I walked out. There were still 2 people ahead of me waiting. Why do we make appointments if the Dr overbooks so badly she cannot see the patient's on time. This Dr needs to learn that her patient's time is just as valuable as hers. Many people have to take time off of work to go to Drs appointments. She shows a lack of respect for the people who are paying her. I will never recommend her to anyone.

She was over an hour late. I had prior prescription meds with prescriptions with me, but she did not wan´t to give those, instead she gave others, that are not suitable for me. I did not feel like she was listening to me, my needs or explaining why she did not want to prescribe the ones that had been best for me for years now. Office is really small, you kinda can hear everyones business. Over all experience was not that great.
