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.

Does not listen to concerns about lab work
It will be 2 years this August 2024. Dr. Sakr does not listen to concerns about not checking lab for a chronic disease Antibodies. His staff is nice, but I was in tears asking for lab work to see where I stand with my disease. I am sensitive to medications.

Had two great doctors. One retired, the other was offered a crappy contract and left. Then came Sakr ... He's not very proficient, always late. It's hardly dazzle with brilliance, and mostly baffle with bullsh**t. I would be hesitant to let him wash my car.

Dr. Sakr is one fine doctor. He always is open to listening, is very competent and knowledgable, know almost instantly what is wrong, is not a drug pusher, as some doctors are. He is considerate. I wish he could be my regular family doctor. I rate him as one of my all time best doctors. He really takes time to explain everything to me, in terms I can comprehend. His staff is very courteous, as well. Also, does not look at his watch constantly, some do! Less I say...PERFECTO!

He is very nice but he does not listen. I have been seeing him for 2 years and every time, I leave feeling disappointed because he didn't stop and listen to me long enough to cover all of the concerns I had. He would interrupt me basically any time I would say anything. Getting an appointment is even worse. It takes 1.5 to 2 months for established patients to get in to see him even if you're having a problem. When you do get in, the wait is over 2 hours before you're seen. staff is great though

I like him. I had seen him about 6 years ago and have been unable to see him again until now. He had access to my previous visit and we discussed what was happening now which is the same as before only worse. He was very thorough and asked a lot of questions about my overall health and wants to take in consideration everything and how they are affecting me. He has taken a lot of tests since I haven't had much done lately.
