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.

Dr.Samia Ismail, She is so kind, a Blessing.
She has a light in her.She cares , and respects me and my desire to go more holistic & natural She doesn't push medication if she See's a better option.She has a great deal of knowledge as a doctor, but also believes in natural approach to get well. I never been to any doctors so kind, and intelligent like her. She is what a doctor should be like , most are not as caring. She has always been there when I need her. I am grateful for her

Thorough and Professional
Recently saw Dr. Ismail for a VA physical. I can’t speak to the experience that others had but during my examination she was courteous, professional and thorough. During the interview portion (which took about 45 minutes) she asked many questions.

An outstanding woman
Dr Ismail is one of the kindest people I know. She is definitely one of the most intelligent, caring hands on physicians I’ve ever met. She takes time out of her busy schedule to get to know her patients. You are treated as a person not just a number.

Horrible patient relation
They never told me they no longer take medicaid. I've been with her for several years & she never even came to the waiting room to talk to me.Brutal!

Very nice visit, the Dr. is very knowledgeable and was delightfully personable; she also was very warm and familiar with helping with gender-orientation. Her staff is a little too small (some logistic delays) but they were able to help quickly despite it. Wanted to leave something positive for them here!

I've been seeing Dr. Ismail for almost a year. Every visit I've had she's listened to me and has taken the time to try her best to help me get the best care possible. She will go way beyond any other doctor, or person for that matter! Highly recommend!

Dr. Samina Ismail has been my family's PCP Provider for past several years and we feel so fortunate to have her as our physician. We love her and her entire staff!! She treats us like family and we know that we are in good hands. Dr. Ismail is a TOP NOTCH physician that sincerely cares about her patients. She's open to various treatment options and she LISTENS to you, answers all of your questions, and we are always greeted with a smile. Both of her nurses are spectacular too! Spectacular!!!

AVOID! If you want to see a nosy aunt who will make assumptions rather than assess your physical health, go here. If you want to speak to a medical professional, go elsewhere. Dr. Ismail 1) insulted me and 2) gave general advice based on her experiences, nothing based on my medical history. The office staff sent my labs to the wrong email and did not call to get the correct address. Weeks later I had to reach out and ask 3x before they understood and sent me the right file. Very unprofessional

I will always have a special place for Dr Ismail and Mona. I will never forget that they allowed me to come to the office even though were supposed to be closed. Me getting lost made me later. Regardless of this being my first visit and I was late, they still saw me. Dr Ismail has a bedside manner that is unlike any I've experienced ......Who does that anymore?....... AWESOME!!!

Have been a patient of Dr Ismail's for 7 years. She is exceptional in her knowledge, thoroughness, concern. She will make you feel as if you are the only patient she has to see today. Never in a rush, spends time with you. SHE IS WARM, CARING, PERSONABLE, High quality care and simply the best. Her office staff is excellent and has the same attributes as Dr. Ishmail. SO THANKFUL TO HAVE FOUND HER.
