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.

DO NOT SEE HIM!
Do not waste your money or your time to see this “doctor”! I’ve been getting injections for several years and I’ve never had any issues. Feather river pain management was my only option for injections in the area. I will now drive outside my area to find a doctor that knows what they’re doing. Dr. Muhammad Alghannam is Extremely Rude and Unprofessional! He does not know what he’s doing at all! I’ve had a migraine for two months since the injection that he put in my neck. I went to see him for a follow up appointment. He told me he did nothing wrong and it’s not his fault. He offered no solutions for my pain. I went to see another specialist outside my area. This doctor looked at the x-rays and said that Dr. Muhammad Alghannam Should not be practicing medicine and doesn’t know what he’s doing. Again, do not waste your time or your money with Dr. Muhammad Alghannam!

100% do NOT recommend.
I saw this man for 2 years. The first year was fine. Nothing to write home about but I had no real problems aside from poor bedside manner. Then he performed surgery. I felt it went very well. However, starting with my post operative appointment every interaction was worse than the one before. In my opinion, he is happy with patients IF they don't ask any questions and allow him to be the almighty doctor. He did not discuss any treatment options or tell me when he was making changes to medications. Twice he did not respond to the pharmacy's repeated requests for refills of a routine (non-narcotic) medication. His staff expects you to answer the phone any time they call. Calling back before the end of the day is not good enough. If you do plan to see him, be careful he's something else.

I came in with back pain. Nothing made it better. I discussed my issues with him, my fears, etc. He took the time to review the procedure. My back pain severe an 7 to 8, purely debilitating, not able to sit, stand, barely walk. I get sick of hearing people say their pains were 10 and walk in, sit down. The procedure was with local only, but this was nothing compared to my back pain. I got good enough relief to where I could loose weight and feel better.

He is a very caring and sympathetic Doctor as well as a person he cares about his patients and spends time with them. He is the Miracle Man to me. He changed my life for the better. He takes the time to get to know you personally and professionally.

My experiences with Dr. Alghannam is very good but his staff is to be desired......They entire office including the doctor are terrible at paperwork. Getting them to make requests for authorization is like an act of congress, you have to hound them. And when you ask his staff to follow they make one or two attempts and then nothing until you complain again.

MD Alghannam has a solid reputation. I have been seeing him for a chronic back problem. I broke my back in three places and did not seek treatment when I was younger. Being older, time has taken its toll. I got instant relief, after 30+ years of discomfort. I have read the reviews of others before having this procedure, and I wouldn't believe a word. I did my research, and this is the least invasive procedure available. The overall time I was in the procedure was 30 minutes, my total time was 3h

This man paralyzed my mother while administering a pain management procedure. He spent a total of four hours attempting to give her a shot. Four hours. That's four hours of him literally poking her spine..unsuccessfully. She walked into what was described to her as a standard procedure and she never walked out. Now she can't walk, run or freely play with my daughter, her only grandchild. Now she can't dress herself or bathe herself. She has to urinate into a bag that is always attached to hersel
