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.

I went to Dr. Rizwana in 2013 for dizziness. I had been through a bunch of doctors and ear issues had been ruled out. She spent very little time with me and tried convincing me that I had positional vertigo. I know I didn't because I had already been to an ENT and physical therapists who ruled that out. She wasn't interested in hearing about my other symptoms and pretty much escorted me out of the exam room. I am still dealing with the issue and have been referred to another neurologist who will hopefully have some interest in actually finding out what's wrong with me. Do not go to this doctor. The other one-star reviews are truthful. She doesn't care.

I would not recommend. Had visit in June 2020. Very small office. The office one person staff and the Dr were in general very business like and seemed only interested in getting some payment for services. They also billed for tests I did not have. The Dr did not seem the least bit interested in my well being. I would stay away.

Went to Dr. Rizwana with chronic migraines. She wouldn't put me on medication at first despite my desperate situation. It took me calling multiple times in immense pain to finally be put on a preventative med. After the 2nd appointment, she kept the meds the same even though I was still in more pain than not. A week or 2 later, I called to get a doctor's note and suggest an MRI because of the continuing pain, & I was told to get a 2nd opinion b/c she had "tried everything" and she was done.

A Patient in Still Suffering – Mar 20, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Rizwana?
DR Rizwana didnt take me seriously at all. I Went to see her due to headaches and other neurological symptoms. She tried to convince me that I was too young to be having these problems, and that I was simply anxious and it was all in my head. I left the office feeling like I was crazy. A couple months later I saw a new doctor who instantly sent me to get a brain MRI. It turns out I have a tumor....

An excellent physician. She took the time to walk me through the pertinent details of my emergency hospital stay, making sure I understood the new conditions I was dealing with and what followups would be necessary. Her practice is very limited so don't be thrown off by the quiet office. Anyone would do well under her care and advisement.
