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.

Best in the business!
Best in the business!Unfortunately over the course of my career playing sports I ran into a handful of injuries and multiple surgeries. There are not many doctors that you come across that are fully and whole heartedly invested in the health and well being of their patients. Dr Elguizaoui goes above and beyond in ever facet. From bedside manner all the way through to surgery you won’t find a better experience. Very thankful to have found Dr Sam Elguizaoui!

Dr Sameh is warm, wonderful and doesn't rush you out of the office. He listened to all my complaints and questions. And i call him Dr Sameh because I can never remember how to say his last name.

Efficient and compassionate
Dr. Sam has helped me through multiple injuries with the perfect mix of compassion and setting realistic expectations. He doesn’t sell anything you don’t need (surgery is so often a hasty conclusion) and helps get you back on your feet in the quickest way possible. Very knowledgeable and great facility with friendly staff. One stop shop for X-rays, cortisone shots, surgery consult. Highly recommend!

Shoulder injury consultation
I saw Dr Elguizaoui for a shoulder injury recently. He was extremely thorough throughout the examination and made me feel confident that i would be able to get back to full mobility in the affected area. He walked me through the various reasons for the injury (as i was honestly unaware!) and i was able to feel like i was in good hands! As a patient that's all you can ask for. More importantly the consultation didn't stop at the meeting, he checked in on me repeatedly to see how i was doing and offered additional exercises to help me rehab - which i am following, and is working! Couldn't recommend Dr Elguizaoui more highly!!

Dr. Elguizaoui did a great job, he was very thorough and the best part was that he encourages movement, particularly since I am older. I will make sure to come back for any orthopedic needs

A consistently good experience
Dr. Elguizaoui is respectful, clear in his explanations, and honest about the range of possible outcomes of treatment (in this case, PRP). He give you time to ask all your questions, and gives you thoughtful, focused and understandable answers. I trust him and consider him an integral part of my medical team.
