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 pathetic excuse of a “doctor”
Telehealth
Had a telehealth with her because my primary was booked out for two weeks. Had a simple asthma issue that I needed to get a long term inhaler for. She felt the need to go into my sexual history (?) because I was recently tested for STD’s, which all came back negative. She then proceeded to tell me I don’t care about my health, that I’m “ashamed” of my sexual history because I didn’t wanna talk about it with her. Why do I need to talk about my sexual history with anyone that isn’t my primary? THE APPOINTMENT WAS FOR MY ASTHMA LOL. Incredibly bizarre and miserable woman who should not be practicing medicine. Time to retire. Stay FAR FAR away from this woman.

What a rude clown
This doctor is a very rude clown. I'd never spoken to them before and they immediately started insulting me on the phone call for something entirely unrelated to why I was referred to them. They were upset I didn't get medical testing done that my PCP never referred me to the proper location of. My actual doctor kept trying to refer me to clinics that didn't offer the services I needed and this lady took it upon herself to call me 30 minutes late and act like a rude clown. Would not advise using them

She is simply RUDE. I went there a few years back for my school shots and she told me she's not giving me them beacsue I dont need them and when someone showed her the paper saying people returning to school needed those shots she still argued with me about it for about 15 mins. And when she couldn't get her computer to work she got even more nasty with me. I'm so glad she doesn't work there anymore.

The best thing to happen at KenTon Family Care was they fired Dr Rahman. This doctor is dangerous rude nasty basically incompetent. It scares me that another office in town hired her. If you are an abuser of controlled substances she is the doctor to see. Please if you value your health find a different doctor. The other doctors left at KenTon are very good. The office is so much better without her.

Will never go to her again . Told me I was allergic to my pets and said she would call in meds and never did. I called the Supervisor to complain about the situation and was told that is not what the doctor told me . I do not like to be lied to more so by a doctor . I also told her that I felt sick and she said there was nothing wrong with me because My blood work showed nothing but did not do any other kind of test

She was very rude. She walked away in the middle of me talking. She has zero compassion or bedside manner. I will find another doctor vs seeing her ever again. She didn’t listen at all and everything on the patient portal is incorrect despite her dictating while I was in the room.

Over the years I have found her to be very impersonal and very very abrupt. Only went to her because she was handy and should have listened to others when they told me to find a new Dr.

Dr. Rahman does not sugar coat. She will tell you like it is, good or bad, and she is a brilliant physician. She is extremely busy and has a ton of patients but she cares a lot and makes every attempt to get to know each one of them. Her critics may complain that she's ''mean''or that she ''yells'' at them but it's like tough love. You know when you're living a healthy lifestyle and when you're not. Don't blame Dr. Rahman for calling you on your BS.

I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. She's point blank RUDE. I've never in my life been so disrespected by someone whose suppose to be a doctor. She crossed the line today"comes in the room telling me that she's not my slave" wait a minute I didn't ask you to be. I've done everything that she asked. She hasn't done anything to help me but criticize me n my health. It took them forever to fax my records to a couple of doctors. She was real lucky today only cuz I got up n walked out.

She was rude and did not seem to even care about any concerns I had as well as not explaining things in ways I could understand. Was kept waiting almost two hours to see her every time even when it wasn't busy. Finding a new primary was the best thing I could have ever done.

She is insulting every time. I had 3 surgeries this year and she never sent in the paperwork to any of them and held up each one, embarrassing with other doctors waiting on her. She is lazy and unprofessional. RUDE! I found a new primary best decision I ever made.

I'm a funeral director. I took the case of one of her patients. I called before arriving but still waited for hours for her to sign the death certificate. She gave me a lot of trouble before signing including throwing it in my face because she didn't know her patients time of death. I told her how long I've been waiting for hours she replied with "too bad". The staff was equally rude. Worst doctor in my experience to work with as a supposed peer.

She is one of worst doctors I have been too. She is very insulting and does not seem to care about her patients or their best interet. She seems to tak at people versus to you and is very intimidating. I will not go to this doctor again even if my life depended on it. She enjoys listening to herself talk and does not listen to the patients concerns or questions.

1st day I saw her she made me cry (I'm not a cryer). Kept her for a few years anyways, she's still rude & doesn't seem she respect her patients all too much. She doesn't explain why something could be serious; she makes snap decisions that lef me to wait 2 months for an overdue procedure. Blamed syncope episodes on anxiety (which I'm moderately anxious at most, never passed out during an anxiety attack), & said: I give up when I proved it wasn't anxiety related.
